...and why this ancient method changed everything for me.
Hi, I’m Jen — founder of JBHomemade, herbalist, homesteader, and your friendly neighborhood Sugar Plum Fairy. 🌙
Years ago, I traded razors, Nair, and painful waxing appointments for a forgotten ritual rooted in the wisdom of women who came long before us. The Egyptians were doing it 4,000 years ago. I picked it up on a homestead in Tennessee.
It’s called body sugaring — and yes, it really is made from sugar (plus lemon and water). 🍋
Why I’ll Never Go Back to Shaving or Waxing
Sugaring is the most skin-loving method of hair removal I've ever found. Once I made the switch, I stopped dealing with:
- Razor burn and stubble
- Ingrown hairs
- Harsh chemical creams
- Itchy regrowth
- And throwing away plastic razors every week (💸 + 🗑️)
Instead, I now sugar at home — naturally, gently, and way more affordably. My skin is softer than it’s ever been, and the hair grows back finer each time. It’s like a botanical wax, but better. No pain, no chemicals, no salon bills.
💫 “But is it hard to do at home?”
Nope. You can learn how to make sugaring paste at home (I teach it right here), but if you’d rather skip the trial-and-error of mastering the cook — I’ve got you.
I’ve spent years perfecting my own small-batch sugaring paste, and you can order it here in my shop. It's shipped fresh and handmade just for you.

🧂 What Makes My Sugaring Paste Different?
I make it from scratch, by hand, in small batches using certified organic sugar and lemon juice. No additives. No preservatives. No junk. Just pure, botanical goodness cooked into a golden taffy-like paste that gently lifts hair from the root — even short or stubborn hairs.
It’s:
Biodegradable ✅
Kind to sensitive skin ✅
Vegan and cruelty-free ✅
Made by someone who actually uses it ✅
💚 Your Skin Deserves Better Than a Razor
You don’t have to keep putting up with the cycle of shaving and suffering. There is a better way — and if you’re a DIY soul like me, you’ll fall in love with the whole sugaring experience.
Whether you’re a first-timer or looking to switch from waxing to something more holistic, you’re in the right place.
