Our Story

After discovering that a popular hair gel I’d begun using in 2017 caused me to develop eczema, I began questioning just how many toxins were hiding in my personal care products. From there began research on the ingredients in my shower gels, shampoos, and everything else I used on my body, and all I could find were synthetic chemicals that caused dis-ease. 

 

Following many trials with ineffective products marketed as “natural”, I realized that even the “natural” ones weren’t so pure, and the importance of actually being able to recognize the ingredients listed on the labels. I decided to start making my own personal care products to ensure there was no room for error in this area, eventually making them available for others to purchase under the previous brand name BENE Beauty by Bri.

 

A little further along my journey in 2019, I consciously decided to stop eating red meat due to fears surrounding my body image. As time progressed, my body literally started rejecting animal foods…with me ending up completely vegan by September of 2020. I never thought it’d be me…but this was honestly the best thing that’s happened for me in my life.

 

My diet transition brought to my attention how much of an impact the foods we eat on a daily basis affect our physical, mental/spiritual, and emotional health. I never knew there were so many fake ingredients being put in our food. I never knew how much what I ate was altering my mental state of being. I never knew that the foods we eat as Americans are directly connected to the dis-eases we way too often develop later in life. Coming from a bloodline rampant in diabetes and heart dis-ease, this awareness was life changing; there was no way I could keep quiet about it. Plant-based recipes and guidance were then incorporated into the brand via social media content and E books. 

 

The reason we as a people are so sick is because of how far we've allowed ourselves to be removed from a truly natural way of living. We eat synthetic foods, wear synthetic fabrics, use synthetic detergents on our laundry and skin, take synthetic drugs when we're sick, give all of these synthetic things to our children, and then tell ourselves we can't do differently because "that's just the way things are", completely unaware of how the things we expose ourselves to on a daily basis affect our overall state of being, including the creation of this complacent mindset so many of us have developed. 

 

Herbal Everythings is dedicated to guiding people back to a more natural, holistic lifestyle through the healing prowess of plants and herbs. Intentionally crafted herbal blends rest at the heart of the brand, complemented by flavorful, nutrient-dense plant-based recipes to help address the internal imbalances caused by auto-piloting through a toxic, inauthentic society for so long. Our internal offerings are tied together by herb-infused skin and body care products to naturally protect and care for ourselves externally. The garden acts as the bridge between the herbs, food, and external products, providing us with the resources to be able to create in the first place. Re-establishing our connection with the land is vital in returning to a natural lifestyle; to be in tandem with nature is to be in it. From *super* humble beginnings with lip glosses and balms to naturally fragranced body butters and oils, I have recognized my purpose goes beyond just being a resource for external physical care products; holistic beings require a holistic approach to life.

My background in the sciences as a Bioengineering graduate as well as my 4+ years of studying herbs stand as a guiding factor in the development of every product offered, whether it be skin care, an E book, or an herbal blend. True understanding of the why and how something works (or doesn't work) is crucial in my role as a guide for others. Both logic and intuition are ever present in every aspect of this brand. 

 

Natural living…by example.🌻
