My Journey to a Simpler Life
— begins with reading a book on apothecary and soap making from the 1700-1800’s. I was thrilled to learn the many uses of plants for natural healing (internal & external), skin care benefits and natural fragrances. After reflecting on the years of purchasing retail products and trying to figure out what was in these products; I was sure that I wanted to make a change to a simpler and healthier lifestyle.
Life on
Mauna Loa
Okay life on the volcano, Mauna Loa (long mountain) Volcano is definitely a nice lifestyle to live. If you like a slower life with the sounds of birds when you wake up, flowers, lots of green green plants, geckos, around 82 degrees in the day, normally cool at night and lots of stars when the cloud cover recedes – you may like living here.
About Me
It is peaceful around here and very rural. In the morning you hear the birds singing and in the evenings, you hear the coqui frogs! There are beautiful orchids and wild ginger (white, yellow, & kahili) flowers growing all over, waiting for you to pick them and take them home.
