of hydrosols, essential oils, and other herbal remedies

Bringing you back to a warm Washington afternoon in August as the weather gets cooler here. On the 20th of August, our group with Evanhealy was shown how fine hydrosols are made. You start with fresh plant ingredients, steam distillation with a copper stil, and eventually, there is a ph balanced hydrosol perfect for the face! You can see more photos in my album on facebook. We were also shown several other things, and the supply cabinet. Ah! So much knowledge and wonderful plants! I loved it there!

Harvesting Shenanigans

I'm bringing you back to my trip with Evanhealy to Washington! We got to harvest the Rose Geranium used for the Evanhealy Hydrosol. The plant is so wonderfully fragrant and beautiful! The sun was warm that morning as it crept higher into the sky. They showed us how to harvest the Rose Geranium, and showed us a few of the other plants growing on the ranch there. Everyone was so wonderful and kind there! If you would like to see more photos, check out my facebook album. :)

where the Rose Geranium grows

I have to share a few more photos from my trip out to WA in August with Evanhealy! On the 20th of August, we went to Running Springs Ranch, and one of the first things we did was tour their incredible greenhouse. Russ made the greenhouse himself. This farm/ranch was incredible. I loved it there! I just have to show you some of the photos of this beautiful place! More photos to come after this for sure... But for now, you can also check out more photos from this part of my journey in my facebook album.

delcious summertime food from Eastern Washington

On the trip with Evanhealy, I had some of the most delicious and incredible food I've ever had. The first meal as a group in particular was beyond fabulous... The presentation, the ingredients, everything! Everything was organic, and not only was much of it also local, but it was handmade artisan quality. I felt completely spoiled... wow... so delicious. You can see even more photos in my facebook album.

Those are duck eggs... mmmm!!!
