I never imagined my love for plants would take me here…

Being interviewed by @voyagedenvermag about Sapphire Herbal Remedies was such a beautiful moment of reflection —and a reminder that when you walk in your purpose, the path opens for you.

This is more than a business to me—it’s healing, legacy, and love.

Summer Series Part 1:
Medicine in the wild 🌿✨
Nature has been speaking loudly this season—and I’ve been listening.
Here are six beautiful plant allies I met on my recent adventures. Each one reminded me how much medicine and meaning lives right beneath our feet.

From soft, silvery leaves to sun-soaked blossoms, they each have a story to tell—and I’m so excited to share them with you 🐝🌼

Slide through to meet them 🍃

🌼 Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

• Stops bleeding and reduces inflammation
• Supports fevers, cramps, and digestion
• Great in teas, salves, or poultices

⸻

🌵 Yucca

• Detoxifying—used for joint pain and any skin issues
• Rich in saponins, which helps cleanse the system
• Root used in decoctions or as natural soap
•In Native cultures, it’s a purifier that washes away illness, negativity, and fatigue.
•Only blooms once every few years—a rare and powerful moment 🌸

⸻

🍍 Pineapple Weed

• Calming wild chamomile
• Soothes anxiety, tummy aches, and restlessness
• Use fresh or dried in tea

⸻

☀️ 🧈🍳 Tall Butter-and-Eggs

• Bitter herb for liver and skin support
• Helps with sluggish digestion
• Used in tea or salves

⸻

🤍 Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)

• Supports lungs—great for coughs and asthma
• Calms the chest and opens breathing
• Used in tea, tincture, or smoke blends
•Its tall stalks were once dipped in wax to create torches, giving it the nickname candlewick plant.

⸻

🌊 White Marsh Marigold

• Not edible—can be toxic not be harvested 
• A native wetland plant to observe and protect
• Beauty and balance in wild spaces 
•A reminder that some medicine is not to take but to enjoy in the moment and witness 

🌾 Some of these are native to this land, and others were brought here and naturalized over time. I encourage learning from both traditional and modern uses—with gratitude for the cultures that first knew these plants.

🌿 There is medicine all around you.
Learning to see the wild this way is a practice of love and respect. 

If you’re ever curious about identifying local plants, I’d love to guide you. I offer plant walks and personal sessions for those wanting to learn more about the green world we live in by @creativekyco

BOTANICAL FACIAL CARE 🌿✨

Spent the other night learning about natural facial care + botanical formulation. We talked about creating a healthy facial-care routine and how different botanicals can support different skin types. Learned about cleansing, steaming, exfoliating, masks, toners + facial serums.

Swipe through to learn more step by step! 

FIRST: BOTANICAL FACIAL SCRUB 🌸

•We made an Exfoliating Face Scrub with Rose + Geranium.
•Apricot kernel meal → provides gentle physical exfoliation.
•Kaolin clay → a softer, less absorbent clay.
•Rose petal powder → adds a beautiful botanical element.
•Finished with geranium essential oil.
•Learned that exfoliation is all about balance — too much can irritate the skin and disrupt its natural barrier.

NEXT: OIL CLEANSING ✨

•Learned how oil-based cleansers can gently remove makeup, dirt + impurities.
•Made a simple blend of jojoba oil + castor oil + squalane oil.
•The workshop explained that oil cleansing can help cleanse while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
• We even learned how to incorporate warm steam while cleansing.

HERBAL FACIAL STEAMS 🌸

•We learned how to combine dried herbs into facial steam blends.
•Balancing: rose petals + lavender + clary sage 🌹
•Soothing: chamomile + rosemary + lavender 🌼
•Clarifying: clary sage + lavender + rosemary + thyme 🌿
•The steam is used as part of the facial routine to promote circulation + help soften the skin.

CLAY MASKS ✨

•Learned about 4 different clays and how they differ:
• Kaolin → gentler + less absorbent
• French Green → stronger drawing/absorbing properties
 •Rose Clay → gentle + suited to dry/sensitive skin
• Rhassoul → mineral-rich + absorbs oil while remaining relatively gentle
• We also learned how to customize clay masks with powdered herbs, hydrosols, honey + essential oils. 🌿

THEN WE GOT INTO TONERS 🌸

• Learned that toners can be used after cleansing as part of a facial routine.
• Brightening: rose hydrosol + neroli hydrosol
• Balancing: lavender hydrosol + witch hazel
• Soothing: aloe + rose hydrosol
• I loved seeing how simple botanical ingredients can be combined depending on what you’re trying to formulate for.

Summer Series Part 3:

Come see what I found. 🌿

👑 Queen’s Crown (Rhodiola rhodantha)

• Delicate Colorado native found in alpine & subalpine habitats
• Recognized by its succulent leaves and rosy-pink flowers
• A beautiful reminder that sometimes the best medicine is simply slowing down

⸻

🎨 Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja spp.)

• Iconic wildflower of the Western landscape
• A fascinating hemiparasite that grows in relationship with neighboring plants
• Is a hemiparasite—it taps into the roots of nearby plants for water and nutrients.
• A beautiful reminder of the interconnectedness of the plant world

⸻

🌸 Pink Pussytoes (Antennaria rosea)

• Tiny pink blooms that resemble little tufts of fur
• Native to Colorado’s mountain landscapes
• A sweet little pollinator plant that’s easy to overlook

⸻

🌿 Lupine (Lupinus spp.)

• Iconic Colorado mountain wildflower
• Provides important resources for pollinators
• Some species contain toxic alkaloids, particularly in their seeds—one beautiful reason to admire rather than casually forage.

🍇 Oregon Grape (Mahonia repens)

• Native to Colorado & the Rocky Mountains
• Tart, blue-purple berries that ripen in late summer
• Traditionally valued for its roots, bark, and berries

⸻
☠️ Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron rydbergii)

• Native plant with the classic “leaves of three”
• Contains urushiol, the oil that causes its infamous rash
• Learning plants isn’t just about finding medicine; it’s about knowing what to recognize, respect, and leave alone.

The more we learn about plants, the more we realize how much there is to learn. 🌿
Honor the plants.
Respect the land.
Learn before you harvest.
Come wander with me — I offer guided plant walks throughout the season. 🍂🍁🌿🌼🌞 by @creativekyco
