Mountain Girls Homestead
A Holistic Approach to Homesteading
Pressing Bits of Sunshine: Art of Flower Pressing
The art of pressed flowers can be dated as far back as 16th century Japan in an arrangement called Oshibana. And even today, most will agree that there is just something so sweet and sentimental about a single dried flower or a whole arrangement. Through my own trial and error, I have found this technique to be a great way to start one’s pressed flower endeavors.
The Mountain Girls Story
Meet Michelle
I am Montana born and raised, mother of three girls, and a mountain living , loving mama. I love making organic, homemade soaps and body products with a holistic approach. Our soaps are handmade and hand-cut from our kitchen, nestled in the mountains of an old mining town. The town's history and surrounding area has inspired the names and ingredients used in most of our soaps. I invite you to follow me and my family down our holistic journey and get to know us and share in our business adventures.
I am a holistic RN, an Herbalist, a Certified Aromatherapist, and I am also certified in making body butters, balms, and salves. I am also planning on continuing my education to become a Holistic Health Practitioner.
I started down this holistic journey/lifestyle, when my oldest daughter was diagnosed with stage three kidney cancer. Her journey through treatment, led our family down a holistic approach to self care, through nutrition, herbalism, organic diet, supplements, aromatherapy, a more self-sufficient lifestyle and skin care. My goal is to help educate and encourage people too make more conscientious skin care product choices. The products I make are plant based and are beneficial to your skin, that the body can recognize, without any dyes, synthetics, fragrance oils, perfumes or preservatives. I want to educate and encourage people to live a healthier, holistic lifestyle, guiding them on how to read labels, understand ingredients and to know what their products are made of.
My motto is: "Your health is your greatest wealth."
