Nothing beats a quiet morning in Tennessee as the sun rises over the fields. I woke up early to catch the sunrise. I thought maybe you'd like to watch It with me. #sunrise #farmviews #morningpeace #countryside #tennessee

Best I could get of the lunar eclipse last night here in MidTN at 11:18pm. It is so dark out here at night that the moon was very bright. I went old school this time I used my Canon power shot SX520HS. #lunareclipse #lunar #moon 💫 Cosmic phenomena: lunar eclipse

Things nobody tells you about making things yourself: You stop being able to walk through a store without analyzing every ingredient label. Shopping is basically research now. 😂 #handmadewithlove #diylife #ingredientsmatter #makerlife

Her 2nd first bloom of the season 🌸 Planted this Paul Neyron rose in honor of my sister Christi when she passed in 2019, and every spring (and every "second spring" after I cut her back) feels like a little visit. 40+ blooms back in early spring, cut back in June, and now she's blooming again. Missing you, always. #rosegarden #gardentok #cottagecore #gardenlife #memorial

Welcome to the Apothecary

Welcome to the Apothecary

Herbal Skincare & Organic Sugaring, Straight From a Tennessee Homestead

Hi, I'm Jen — a Certified Master Herbalist and Naturopath, and the one-woman force behind JBHomemade Sugaring & Skin Care. Everything here is handmade in small batches on our 180-acre homestead: botanical skincare crafted from herbs I grow or source from local Amish farms, and organic sugaring paste made the old way, with just sugar, lemon, and water.

This blog holds 10+ years of tutorials, recipes, and behind-the-scenes homestead life — some of it a little dusty these days, but the plant wisdom in it still holds up. For the freshest updates, my full ingredient glossary, and the current shop, head over to the main site.
