Welcome to Conscious Homestead Botanica!
My botanical shop is based on my urban homestead (Conscious Homestead) where I, Candace, make small batch body products and medicinals to share with my community for purchase via my store below.
Please Note: Because I make the medicinals and products I make in small batches they can sell out really quickly. Rest assured that my online shop is restocked often within the rhythms of nature and the availability of what is in season on the homestead, in the wild and from other local botanicas and apothecaries I procure plant medicine from.
I make every product, label, package myself; noting that many medicinals take time to infuse. I choose to honor these ancestral practices and pace while working with the land and making food and medicine. Thank you in advance for honoring that pace.
All medicinal items are made with organic, fair trade when possible, mostly local and/or homestead-grown ingredients. Every item is made with love and reverence in ceremony with my ancestors and energetically infused with affirmations of healing and reiki.
These medicinals are not assessed by the FDA. The support these medicinals offer is because of a divine meeting of ancient plant and land magic, decades of self study and the wisdom of my teachers on this plane and the ancestral realm.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions via my email at hello@candacejennifer.me
Blessings, Candace

Support Small BIPOC Owned Businesses & Makers:
I want to amplify and uplift some small BIPOC owned businesses and makers because I believe deeply in shifting the toxic colonial myth of capitalism and how business is done in this world. When I see fellow BIPOC makers shine and grow and doing what they love I am equally uplifted and empowered. There are many BIPOC makers I love that I want to share with you. I also asked my community on Instagram to share with me their favorite small BIPOC makers so that I can share them with you as well.
Feel free to email me your favorite BIPOC makers so I can update the list linked below.
Please go to these businesses and support them, follow them, like their posts, share their posts, learn from them all year long!
To my fellow BIPOC makers and creators I witness all the heart you put into all you do. I celebrate you, you inspire and uplift me by being you.
Shine bright beloveds.
Love, Candace
