Jody Berry of Wild Carrot Herbals in Rickreall, Oregon, knows what I mean.Jody is an organic farmer who enjoys turning dirt and seeds into necessities that sustain life in so many ways.On her farm where she lives with her husband, Jody grows herbs, flowers and foods and she uses to make wonderful skincare products infused with the earth's bounty.Jody understands the necessity of making a fair profit, but she is also dedicated to offering products that allow us to enjoy the fruit of the earth without destroying it.My favorite of her products, pictured above with the body wash (I used some before the photo was taken -- couldn't wait!) is Soulshine, a rose and sandalwood shea butter cream.It's the creamiest stuff I've used all winter and is great for this time of year.My face can't get enough of it and the smell of real Bulgarian rose oil just sends me.Jody also makes a wonderful hand and body lotion, Lord, My Hands Are So Dry!, with herbs she picks and infuses on her farm.It's smooth and luscious and my skin drinks it right in.My nose is happy too because it contains organic vanilla.My 5-year old daughter thinks it smells like chocolate!Jody, In Her Words Inspiration: I live in beauty, surrounded by my plants and flowers.I love hiking and gathering wild growing things.
