New Beginnings and Endeavors

Hello sprouts!

Now that I have finally finished my undergraduate education, I am growing restless not only with the monotony of working but with my excess energy. For many years I have been fascinated by herbs and their medicinal properties. Being a nurse in the medical field has its advantages because it allows me to study them more closely and work in close proximity to medicines which are derived from these same herbs and plants. While I love my job as a nurse, the profession is not a huge proponent of alternative therapies and naturopathic medicine. My heart has always been vested in this particular subject and I wanted to weave that into my life in some way.

One of my dreams has been to create medicinal and herb-centered beauty and spa products and sell them to those who love botanical creations. So, this begs the question, if I create and Etsy store, would anyone be interested in creations like this?

If so, I am also struggling to choose a name for this endeavor. I have a few in mind but just need a little help coming up with a final decision and would love some input!

A few names I have been thinking of include:

Hollyfrost Apothecary

Eldergleam Apothecary

Honeystrand Apothecary

Black Briary Apothecary

Candlehearth Apothecary

Sleeping Giant Apothecary

Mistveil Apothecary

Heartwood Apothecary

Shimmermist Apothecary

I've been told that I am weird, strange, odd, peculiar, abnormal, kooky etc. And I completely agree. I may be all of those things, but above all, I am happy.

and july in her eyes hath place
within her bosom is september 
but in her heart a cold december”
