#flashbackfriday That's me in the foreground, age 16, at my first job as a "sandwich artist" at a Subway in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. I'd come down after school and bake bread, make deli meat "set ups", work the register, and scrub toilets. I didn't make too many sandwiches though, because in a town where you could get an Italian hoagie packed to the brim with cured meats on a roll that was just baked in the side of a hill, Subway didn't fare too well. Even then, I knew I didn't want to work for anyone else. (But I also thought I wanted to be Dolly Parton. 👼) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_F9HHtDmCi/?igshid=1mb1y4u38cw51

Mist on the mountain yesterday. We went out to see if any wildflowers were making an early appearance. While the showy blooms are still a few weeks away, we saw verdant yellow spicebush, a few bloodroot blossoms struggling to open, and lots of new skunk cabbage in the streambed. At higher altitude, the low lying fog settled on everything like a blanket. Not even a squirrel was shuffling. There, we were alone in the silence with the moss, lichen, and liverworts. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-YL3aijM5p/?igshid=tjw3mo1s3gin

Even though this photo was taken a month ago, I almost don't recognize the person in it. How different my priorities were then! But it's still #meetthemakermarch , and I'm still pleased to make your e-quaintance. 😊 I'm Erica, founder & formulator behind HF. I'm keeping the home fires burning here -- formulating and making products and shipping orders from my home studio. (Our PT production associate and artist-in-residence, Beth, is working from home designing some lovely stationery to help you stay connected while social distancing.) Oh, and I'm also teaching my Appalachian Culture college course online in the meantime. While orders are shipping with a 1-2 day delay, we're extremely grateful for each and every one. Watch next week as we launch new products to make your life at home more comfortable. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Qhm7GDXys/?igshid=1blwbtiawueru

📷 @lookingatappalachia After learning how rural hospitals will be under particular duress during the Covid -19 outbreak, we will be donating $2 from the sale of every bottle of our Elderflower + Buttermint Hygienic Hands Gel Cleanser to the National Rural Health Association. https://www.instagram.com/p/B97v1tejKkA/?igshid=1vo4ibnts4q9b

Practice it now. The most effective way to slow the spread of Covid-19 is to limit person to person contact. Avoid large gatherings, limit your time in public, and when you are in public, keep at least 6-feet between you and others. (A smile is contagious in a good way 😊.) ... This virus has an incubation period of one-week (or longer), meaning people are carrying it without showing symptoms. It is reasonable to assume the virus is already in your community. This reality is not a reason to panic (or "panic buy"). It's a reason to adjust our behavior -- for the health of all of us, especially our most vulnerable. 👴👵 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pkBn_jLbu/?igshid=1wzoosyd1jky1

We said a few days ago we have some exciting news to share. Well, here it is: Our scent, VESCA, is featured in February's Olfactif box.

Subscribers get covetable spray samples delivered to their door each month, handpicked by industry professionals. ... February's theme for the women's box is Aphrodite, so our lush strawberry scent fit the bill. With notes of vetiver, galbanum, and balsam woods surrounding the scarlet berries, VESCA is a sophisticated, fresh take on the "fruitchouli" genre. ... Sign up for @artofperfume to make sure you don't miss July's box, which will feature another of our eau de parfum, LUCIDA. ... 📷 1 & 3 from @artofperfume https://www.instagram.com/p/B8aDX7VDzNI/?igshid=1e79yzts2esxb

What's your favorite olfactory memory? What scent transports you to a time or place where you experienced contentment, hope, serenity, bliss (or even transcendence)? Tell us about it! 😆 ... Scent, emotion, and memory are so intertwined in our lives because they are intertwined in our neural circuitry. (And maybe that sentence rings equally true if we reverse the clauses.) Our olfactory bulb links directly to our limbic system, the seat of emotion in the brain. From there, scent travels onward to the hippocampus where our memories are stored. In a tragic irony, one of the first symptoms of Alzheimers Disease is the loss of smell. ... In a culture obsessed with #wellness (an aim that seems to elude us the more we pursue it), fragrance is a form of #selfcare that can provide an immediate sense of well-being. Scent can center and ground us, transport and uplift us, so that we feel equipped to tackle the challenges of existence and embrace the joys of living. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Zk2wIjU7_/?igshid=1h7xiyygwyceo

Probably owing to our being a trifecta of Appalachian, academic, and "Aspie", our tolerance for BS is relatively low. And the beauty industry is chock full of BS. Most is harmless. (For instance, if those crystals in your face oil help you feel more beautiful, go for it. Personal care is a personal choice.) ... No matter how beautiful, "healthy", and "natural" some ingredients sound on a label, they may not be good for every skin type. As we age, our skin thins and becomes drier and more sensitive, especially the skin of the face. Previously well-tolerated ingredients can suddenly or gradually engender issues like rosacea, eczema, or allergies. ... Fragrance in face care is a main culprit. Whether natural or synthetic, all fragrance is composed of volatile vapors. (Think little chemical explosions on your face 💥👃.) However, unless your under doctors orders to do so, you don't necessarily need to embrace the joyless existence that is "fragrance-free". ... Following is a list of essential oils we recommend avoiding or using with caution in face care: ⚠Mint oils - can cause flushing in rosacea; save their freshness for the body. ⚠Citrus oils - make skin more susceptible to photo-aging; enjoy them in rinse-off products. ⚠ White florals (e.g., jasmin, neroli, ylang ylang, etc) - their volatility can be damaging the delicate skin of the face even if you can't yet see it; enjoy them in body scents. ... And following is a list of EOs generally well-tolerated in face care that may have added skin benefits: ✅Rose oils - high antioxidant content and emollient properties ✅Chamomile oils - contain a compound called bisabolol that might have skin healing and brightening properties ✅Clary sage - astringent oil that is a milder alternative to mint or tea tree ... 📷 @fuuj from Unsplash.com https://www.instagram.com/p/B7E2m6zjrx1/?igshid=1ge2fwd8vzf9o
