I'll save the facts about the harsh UV rays from Florida's intense sunshine, but we've all experienced it first hand. These beautiful beaches and salty waters of ours aren't easy on your skin or hair, and even a brief day trip can leave you over-sunned and parched.
Solar Recover Save Your Skin is a best seller at Wild Ginger Apothecary for good reason: it's easy to use, powerful yet light, and refreshing. Even in a hurry, it's my go-to hydration. It's a favorite trick to touch up when my arms and legs are dry throughout the day, I can spray easily without a greasy residue potentially trashing my outfit. You can't spray it too much, and trust me, I've tried.
The Save Your Hair spray is the equivalent in a hair rescue. Spray post sun-scorched beach day and your hair won't feel like straw for long. You can spray out of the shower as a light de-tangler, too - a favorite solution for my thin straight hair in lieu of a heavier conditioner.
There's not much you need on a beautiful day besides a beach towel, swimsuit, and SPF... but you'll be grateful once you add this duo to that mix.

Lack of deep sleep: likely the biggest cause of stress and anxiety in my customers. And let's be honest, it's my biggest cause of stress and anxiety somedays too! I've tried all sorts of vitamins and supplements (and had good, bad, and horrible results) - but there had to be a less invasive way for regular use. We're all over the sleep-remedy hangover, or better yet, sleeping through our alarms.
The first to arrive to Wild Ginger Apothecary was BotanicalMe Nighty Night Pillow Mist. It's not just the usual lavender: this dreamy, relaxing blend has 20 essential oils that work as a calming sedative. Notes of Valerian (in the first pleasant combo I'd encountered), Chamomile, and Ylang-Ylang leave your pillows, sheets, and entire bedroom with a heavenly aroma that really does calm you the heck down. In minutes you're more relaxed, and you'll soon look forward to this bedroom ritual just like I do. Spray throughout your home anytime you need to chill out. (Try with your kids, if you have them, parents swear by this stuff!)
Sprays or aromatherapy not your thing? Not a lavender fan (in any combination)? There's another secret weapon... Long Creek Herb's Sleep Pillow. It's a tiny pillow you slide into your existing pillowcase, and as crazy at it sounds, works like magic.
I was a skeptic, so I put my friend with the worst sleeping challenges I'd ever seen to the test. And just like that, they slept better than in 10 years. Another friend and customer's four year old is able to sleep through the night for the first time ever... and if the pillow is missing, they notice a huge difference. Pro parent tip: keep an extra one handy. No placebo effect here: the creator swears by "hiding" these miniature pillows for your sleep deprived loved ones. (These "magic pillows" are particularly helpful with easing nightmares, for sufferers of PTSD, and to quiet stressful sleep.)
Note: the "Restful" pillow is for a quiet calm sleep. There is also a "Pleasant" pillow to enhance dreams and help you dream in color. If you're lucky enough to sleep easy already, the latter can still apply to you!
Sweet dreams!

Essential Oils are all the rage. Did you know that Wild Ginger Apothecary offers Certified Organic, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oils by Simplers? Their oils are sourced all over the world to ensure they are 100% pure, genuine, species specific, and expertly distilled. And no, you don't need to join a multi-level-marketing team to purchase them.
SarasotaDay recently featured some of our must-have essential oils (Lavender, Lemon, Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus). They also mentioned a few of our ready-to-go blends that take the guesswork out of aromatherapy. Check it out!

5 Essential Oils for Every Home
"Everyone’s digging on the essential oils these days, and who can blame them? They’re a safe and simple way to take care of your body and your home. Still, the lists of all the EOs and their many uses can be a bit daunting to anyone who is unfamiliar with this wonderful and mysterious world."

How to relax in one step: the heavenly seductive scent of BUTTERelixir. It's impressive when a company begins with just one exceptional item - and even more impressive when just two drops of this "magic oil" are all it takes to be hooked.
BUTTER is a blend of just four oils: sweet almond, argan, lavender, and chamomile. But it's not a simple scent: the notes are complex, rich, calming, and mysterious all at once. This tiny bottle of oil is unlike any scent or blend I've seen in decades of nonstop beauty product use. The Wild Ginger Apothecary lineup wouldn't be the same without this liquid gold. Designed by yogis, your yoga practice likely won't be the same without it either.
The scent and hydration aside, BUTTER goes the extra mile in keeping green by using recycled bottles, mixing their formula by hand in small batches, and creating a product that can be used for most anything. Body, hair, perfume. You'll want this scent to surround you, I promise. And the deep hydration of argan and almond are the perfect counterpart to dryness or sun damage.
Add this must-have to your beauty arsenal and you, too, can be smooth like BUTTER.
