Peace y’all! In this vlog, I'm diving deep into my love for herbalism. I'll share my journey with you, from my first steps into the world of herbs to building my own kitchen apothecary. Join me as I visit my local herb shop to select the perfect ingredients and create a soothing chai blend from scratch. I'll also give you a tour of my herb collection and share some of the resources that have helped me along the way.
