If you've been reading my posts you're probably starting to wonder 'Who is this hippie?' So let me take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Amanda and I'm just a new age hippie chick doing my best to live a healthy, sustainable, green life. I live smack dab in the middle of my town in Southern Wisconsin on a 1/3 acre city lot with my doggy friend Bob. I raise vegetables, chickens, and beef cattle (they live at my moms farm, although I would love it if I could have them here, save me on lawn mowing). I make my own breads and pasta, and I don't own a microwave or dishwasher. Now that's not to say that I don't order pizza delivery or hit the Taco Bell drive thru on occasion. Nobody's perfect.
Also, over the years I have studied herbal medicine and aromatherapy and started developing my own health and wellness products. This mostly started as a necessity. I have a variety of allergies and sensitivities to common cosmetic ingredients. Plagued by chronic itchy skin I developed my own soaps, lip balms, salves, room sprays, and serums. I loved creating products with herbs I had grown in my backyard and infusing them with my energy. There is kind of a running joke with my friends and family that my secret ingredient in my foods and products is love. So cliche I know, but it really is what drives me. I love to create, I love to prepare foods and products with my own two hands and I truly believe that the loving energy I feel is somehow transferred to what I make, and in turn makes it better.
After a several life changes over the past two years I have decided that now is the time to fulfill my dream of having my own business. It was time to take my passion for what I do and share it with the world, and so on June 1st of this year The Hippie Homesteader (www.thehippiehomesteader.com) was born. As of right now I have a line of serums and room sprays ready to purchase. They are all hand made with only all natural ingredients and pure essential oils. Soon I will be adding handmade soaps and balms using the same strict all natural ingredient policy. That means I do not use any palm oil, petrochemicals, or artificial fragrances or colors.
And I couldn't forget my four-legged friends in my endeavors so I also created Hippie Horse Products that include all natural fly spray and coat conditioners with aromatherapy benefits. These sprays give your horse and show ready shine without alcohol or chemicals and you can choose what aromatherapy benefit best suits your horse.
So I encourage you to please follow my blog and join me on my hippie path. I will be posting gardening tips, recipes, sustainable living ideas, and featuring my line of products. I will also be offering exclusive discounts and product to my readers so be sure to check in often. Feel free to share and comment. I love to hear how others are living a more sustainable life.
Until next time...
