Garden to Glow: My Journey with Natural Skincare in Laois (Naturally at The Wrens Nest)
Ever since I was a child, I've been drawn to the magic of nature. The vibrant colors of wildflowers, the heady scent of blooming roses, the calming rustle of leaves in the wind - these are the things that truly bring me joy. It's no surprise then, that when I decided to embark on this entrepreneurial journey, I knew it had to be rooted in my love for the natural world.
It all begins with a tiny seed!
My connection to nature goes beyond simple appreciation. I'm passionate about growing and nurturing life. My garden is my haven, a constant source of inspiration and learning. Watching tiny seeds transform into vibrant flowers, nurturing herbs, and witnessing the delicate balance of the ecosystem fills me with a sense of wonder, accomplishment and utter joy..
In my happy place, amongst the flowers, in my garden at The Wrens Nest
It was in this very garden, surrounded by nature's bounty, that the idea for Naturally at the Wren's Nest was born. I longed to share my love for the natural world with others, not just through flowers and herbs, but in a way that offered a deeper connection and enhanced well-being.
I’m always at my happiest outside, in nature. I find inspiration in my surroundings and my foraged goodies!
This is where my fascination with scents comes in. The ability of essential oils to evoke emotions, promote relaxation, and even offer subtle health benefits has always captivated me. I began experimenting, carefully crafting blends that captured the essence of natures diverse aromas.
Where the magic & alchemy happens, in my workshop in the garden at The Wrens Nest
From the soothing serenity of lavender to the invigorating energy of citrus, each handcrafted soap and skincare product embodies a piece of my passion for nature and scent. It brings me immense satisfaction knowing that these creations, born from my garden and infused with the care I put into them, can find their way into your homes and enhance your self-care rituals.
Soap making is one of my favourite things to do. I love taking all the gorgeous plant based ingredients and turning them into a bar of soap that can bring you joy every time you use it.
Naturally at the Wren's Nest is not just about selling products; it's about sharing a love for nature and promoting a more mindful approach to well-being. It's about offering you a piece of the magic I experience every day in my garden, translated into something that nourishes your body and soul.
So, the next time you take a bar of my soap into the shower with you or breathe in the aroma of my natural deodorant as you apply it, remember the love for nature and the passion for creating that went into every step of the process. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most profound experiences and the most effective solutions can be found right in our own backyards, waiting to be discovered and nurtured.
