brown butter is an actual form of magic i think, that guy Maillard is a wizard who discovered the craft i am sure 👍🏻 🤎

i keep baking chocolate chip cookies with brown butter they are decadent :’) i also cream the sugar and butter for a whileee, chill the dough at least overnight, top them with flakey sea salt and ahhh they’re so lovely

little dark fragrant heart of labdanum resin 🖤 i’m obsessed with perfume layeringgg

aaand my rose oud dusting powder, kay ali vanilla oud perfume, oud extrait from maison francis kurkdjian, my favorite rosewater, and i tried bhakoor for the first time with this labdanum and the last of my royal frankincense

i can still smell labdanum in my hair a day later 🥰 if you love amber scents, labdanum is the original if u will and it’s a fave of mine

i think bakhoor is usually done with oud chips, which would obv have a deeper more complex perfume in my hair and longer lasting. but i think labdanum holds up well

making lavender infused fluffy white cake with cream cheese frosting and lemon zest 😇 and brushing a lavender simple syrup i made this week onto the cake

the lavender is from a church in my hometown that lets me harvest tons every summer. it’s a tricky herb for me to grow so i love this lil summer tradition of mine :’) also adore getting to give away magical snacks to neighbors and loved ones

love 💜🐝🌷

honey is the most magical substance to infuse with herbs honestly? it’s so enticing :) making whipped lavender honey and my first ever electuary! which is when you blend honey with powdered herbs to make a sweetened medicinal confection. herbal crafting heals my little heart ❤️
