Nous avons beaucoup parlé au cours de la dernière 27 semaines à faire des choix de produits qui sont naturels et efficace. Une chose que je aime personnellement à propos de The Keeper Inc. est que nous voulons voir prospérer les femmes et se soutenir mutuellement. Nous voulons vous donner les moyens de prendre des décisions au sujet de votre vie, votre corps, and what you use! I’ve been trying to find women owned businesses who also fit that model and have them give us some information.
Today I am excited to introduce you to Christina from Sacred Grove Botanics and Wellness. Christina is a mama who is passionate, knowledgeable, and fun and building a natural wellness company. She has been a source of information, encouragement and support for me personally and I think you’ll enjoy meeting her today!! She’s got lots of good information for us. For more information about Christina’s business check out her Kickstarter campaign ici.
My challenge for you this week is to find a couple small businesses that you love and tell them thank you for the impact they’ve had on your life and in your community!
Christina’s business helps me to reach my full potential and encourages me on my journey towards a healthier life! This is my way of thanking her and this week I hope you’ll all do the same- send them an email, drop them a note, say thanks in person or post on their Facebook wall. A little bit of gratitude and support goes a LONG way in a small business- it’s not an easy job!
1- Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you wanted to start Sacred Grove?
I am a work-at-home mother with two amazing littles in my home. I have a varied background in many things, so I thought that I could almost certainly be creative enough to make a way to earn some additional income while utilizing my skills and doing something I love, all without compromising my desire and need to be there for my children (not to mention *not* having to pay for childcare). This is why I decided to start Sacred Grove Botanics. It’s a perfect blend of these things!
2- Why do you think it’s important to use natural body products?
3- Quel est votre produit préféré?
My favorite product would have to be my Baby Bum Balm. It has saved many a red baby bum, to which many of my friends with babies can attest, but it has also saved the day in my own house for any number of random issues! I use it as an all-purpose owie balm when it is the closest thing to reach, I have used it for chafing problems, éruptions cutanées, you name it! It is almost magical in my household!
4- Quelle est votre citation préférée, chanson ou une phrase que vous espérez serait l'autonomisation des femmes?
6- D'autres conseils ou des mots d'encouragement que vous souhaitez partager avec nos lecteurs?
It can be overwhelming at times to take steps towards a green and natural lifestyle. I know that as a human, woman, and mother, my heart wants to embrace all of it: sustainable living, zero-waste, toxin-free (nourriture, skin products, environments), alimentation biologique, animal cruelty, factory farming, radiation from any number of things…My head starts to spin when I think about tackling it all. My advice is to pick what is most important to you and really commit to those causes. And only start with a handful, then move up from there if there’s room in your life for it. For us, I focus as much as I can on clean eating, toxin-free products and environment, and teaching kindness and mindfulness to my children. I do my best with the rest of it! And that’s key: I do my best, and I try not to say, “I should do better,” because dang it, I’m awesome, my best is awesome, and so is yours!
Thanks to Christina for sharing with us today.

Thank you for this; it really gives me something to think about. While I’ve been focused on food & other consumables for my family, I’ve been more dismissive of personal care products, thinking that cheap & easy will do because in some way they feel frivolous. Maybe it’s time to reconsider!
