Happy Beautiful Saturday! We've got some big changes coming. We're closing up our East Passyunk store and launching an exciting new program that we're calling Community Supported Self Care. The goal of our Volta Market CSSC membership is to offer city wide distribution of local and handmade self care and gift items to a pick up location near you! We'll miss our lovely little bricks & mortar but are excited to take this new turn towards supporting a local living economy in Philadelphia!

This recipe by Rosemary Gladstar popped up in my feed today. I definitely want to give it a try! We're open today 12-5! Love to love chocolate!!

“Turmerica Bars”
Chocolate & Turmeric Super Bars
Recipe adapted from herbalists Penny & Bevin Clare (Mother & Daughter team)

with love from Rosemary!

16 oz bitter sweet dark chocolate (or milk chocolate)
8 oz Coconut Oil
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
½ - 1 cup Turmeric (that’s right! ‘cup’ not teaspoon or tablespoon…)
1 tsp pure Vanilla Extract
½ - 1 teaspoon course ground black pepper
Course ground Hawaian Black Sea Salt , or Pink Himalyian Salt
Optional: 2-3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger (not dried)

Melt Chocolate & Coconut oil together over low heat. Stir in Vanilla and add herbs (turmeric, black pepper and ginger (optional)). Stir well, making sure there aren’t any lumps.

Stir in ground nuts.

Pour into a shallow baking dish. Place somewhere cool or cold to harden.
Sprinkle the top lightly with course ground Hawaiian Salt or Pink Himalyian salt.

Cut or break into small pieces.

Store in a cool place, not near heat. * The coconut oil will cause this chocolate to melt in ‘your hands’, so be sure to store in a cool place.

Many of you know we sell therapeutic grade essential oils in the back of our store by the 1/2 oz. Whether or not our oils are ingestible is a common question. If you've ever had this conversation with me, you know I always try to talk people out of using essential oils this way. Here's a little bit science to back that up.

Let's talk about the science of why you should NEVER place essential oils in your water to drink ever again!
