June 2025 Mama Love News

 

Hello Everybody,

I've noticed interesting shifts this past month or so for myself and for other people—what looks like a desire to strike a balance between coping with daily outside-driven upsets and a return to what we want for our own personal growth and development. That shows up as more purchases in my shop for things other than grief, anger and fear or, that, and additional choices that typically reflect different concerns.

I actually decided to take that trend as guidance for myself and felt a great improvement in how it made me feel to finally allow space for listening and acting on inner desires I've been glossing over and pushing aside. (Highly recommend!) So that's what this month's selection of blog posts represents: a selection of each. Hope you find it helpful!

May 2025 Mama Love News

 

Hello Everybody,

How are you doing? I'm feeling more optimistic and hopeful and I think my blog posts reflect how I got there. So I'm definitely sharing that today.

I also want to let you know that I have no reason to raise prices because of tariffs at this point in time. I bought a large shipment of bottles in December of last year and that's the only thing that might be badly effected by tariffs if my bottle suppliers don't find another source. But I'm set for many months, maybe a year or so right now. There are a few herb and black tea products I'm holding off on buying, but I'm pretty well stocked there as well. And most of my flower essence ingredients are made in California, so we're probably good for awhile!

Unfortunately, I don't know what to tell you if you live in another country. I had assumed you wouldn't have to pay a tariff for the typical order most people make, but I hear that might change and is country-dependent. So I apologize for that! I very much appreciate your business, but I completely understand if you need to take care of yourself there. I hope it gets worked out soon.

April 2025 Mama Love News

 

Hello Everybody,

I felt a nice upsurge of hope when the trees burst into flower here in Chico, CA a few weeks ago. If Spring hasn't arrived in your neck of the woods, trust me, it will. Hopefully, it will feel good to you, too.

My focus this month remains the same. Whenever I don't know what to write about on my blog, I check to see what's selling in my shop. And that —especially right now—tends to be a great reflection of the general mood in a significant portion of the United States and Canada (where most of my customers live). A lot of people are going through a hard time right now. So, as always, this newsletter is for you! Hope it helps! ❤️‍🩹

March 2025 News from Mama Love

Late last night I had a sudden uptick of sales in my Etsy shop and they ALL included products for coping with grief. So I'm going to start this email with links to the ones I recommend (which are also the ones they chose). I'm right there with you using them for myself.

I also will be sharing blog posts from earlier in the month. I have absolutely no intention of turning that blog into a political mouthpiece. But there is no avoiding the impact of politics in our daily lives and hearts these days. So for those of you going through a hard time right now, as always, this newsletter is for you!

February 2025 Mama Love News

 

Hello Everybody,

I hope you're doing well and finding ways to take care of yourself in addition to Mama Love. But I'm still here, restocking up this weekend, in fact, on what people seem to need most right now.

I do have an announcement to make. Etsy has made a change you might notice the next time you order from me. They will no longer allow me to add a package cost and handling fee to shipping—they want that added to the cost of items. So the prices you see in my shop are now $2.50-$3.00 higher BUT the shipping will be less by the same amount. So, it should work out—I just don't want you to be shocked! Okay?

This month's blog posts didn't wind up aligning with any particular theme. I mostly wanted to share some ideas about using flower essences from experience and experimentation and, February being the season of love, one post about sex, love and intimacy.
