As we enter July and leave the full Strawberry June moon behind us, I want to say hello to our new subscribers, and welcome back everyone else! So much has been happening behind the scenes, and we have lots of goodies to share with y’all, so please stay with me until the end.
I have been busy maintaining stock, foraging for my favorite herbs, plants. and those pain-in-the-butt invasive species, infusing oils that I use throughout the year in my soaps, salves, and other products, drying and preserving plants, and working in my garden.
Thoughts and plans of the plants and herbs I want to get established is quickly filling up a notebook, and there are so many new herbal products I want to bring to fruition, so many invasive plant species on the land that have been left to wreak havoc that need to be attended to, and will be. (I have to say, that pulling up invasive plant species is an amazing stress reliever, lol!) If anyone local wants to come to Berwick and help me relieve some stress, just hit me up and we’ll go take out some frustration on the 3 invasive species I am dealing with –
Japanese Knotweed, Morrow’s Honeysuckle and Bittersweet.

Payment Option Additions
We know times have gotten a little tight for people lately, with the rising costs of gas, food, and every day living expenses. To help ease financial strain, and just give you other payment options, we now have now added both Klarna and Affirm to your payment options, and you can break up payments over time. Options should be available in your cart now, but please feel free to hit me up with any questions or issues!
Big News For Sassy Skin & Soul Care
I started Sassy Skin & Soul Care just over 6 years ago in my apartment in Dover, where we have been running operations out of since. When I began, it was soaps and soaps alone. Since then, I have completed a Sacred Gaian Herbalist Apprenticeship that changed literally everything. Through my own experiences using big company body products and the damage they were doing to my skin and hair, and seeing others experience the same, I knew I had to offer healthier options for every day wellness care. And not just soaps and external relief, but internal as well. And that’s when Sassy Soaps rebranded itself to become Sassy Skin & Soul Care, and the products we offer increased significantly.
Being in an apartment has limited my ability to grow many of the herbs and plants that I use in my own space. This fall, after being here in Dover for the past decade, Sassy Skin & Soul Care and myself will be moving back across the state border, back home to Maine, where we will finally be planting our roots.
We will also have land and space, that not only desperately needs some TLC and stewardship, but that we can amend and grow and expand, and create a space that welcomes pollinators and creatures of all kinds. I will grow my own food. One of my many goal, besides growing the herbs and plants I use, is to bring the fireflies back, while living in reciprocity with the world around me. I want to create a space that welcomes all, and hopefully teaches others to do the same along the way. I may even start documenting the transformation, because it’s going to be quite the undertaking, and I couldn’t be more excited!
So, as we go through 10 years worth of stuff, and an insanely large apothecary, and pack it all up, we are taking this summer off from markets, until most likely October (don’t worry, we will definitely still be at the Dover Witches Market!). We are still here, making herbal goodies, receiving, packing and shipping orders, and answering any inquiries you may have, while also planning all the cool new gardens we will be growing, and the awesome products we are going to continue to offer for our community!

Tincture Class In Vermont
Back in May, I had the pleasure of attending a women’s wellness retreat hosted by my longtime friend Jocelyn and Wander With Intention: Sacred Travel. We spent 4 days/3 nights in Vermont, and I taught my first herbal tincture class, with a focus on building a Materia Medica and herbs that help ease stress, anxiety, and anger. I brought 8 different herbs, including some bitter herbs, as well as a Monograph for each one that could be used to start their own Materia Medica.
We discussed each herb, and it’s medical, magical and intentional properties, and everyone mixed together their own personal blend, depending on their desired outcome.
I had an absolute blast, and am hoping to get more into herbal education, teaching more classes about herbs, plants, and how we can incorporate them into our health routine, whether it is through soaps, tinctures, tea blends, or just going all natural.
The ladies in my class will be enjoying their tinctures for the first time on Saturday (after infusing for the suggested 6 weeks), July 4th, and I can’t wait to get some feedback about what they think of them!
So Many New Products….
…so little time, lol. If you haven’t had a chance to get over to Sassy lately, we have listed some new products since I last updated everyone.
Some new, refreshing soap blends, an infused vinegar chock-full of Vitamins and Minerals, and we still have just a couple NH Lilac Soaps from an abandoned order that we marked down, if you missed the pre-order. Click below to hit up our Shop and see what is new!
In Need of a Gift?
We love putting together gift baskets, and can personalize them depending on who your recipients are and what they like. We can also make smaller versions of many of our products, if you are looking for teacher gifts, hostess, bachelorette party & shower favors, bridesmaid gifts, etc. It’s as easy as knowing your budget and recipient, just hit me up and let me know who and what you are looking for, and I will take it from there! There’s nothing more thoughtful than giving the gift nature and health, while supporting a small business.
