Our Story

"I started Botanicals & Blaze to trade burnout for the healing powers of nature."

Hi, I’m Nicole. I know first hand how modern life can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, and overwhelmed. That is why I started studying herbalism and making plant-derived, small-batch essentials that bring the soothing, wild essence of the outdoors directly into your home. By using straightforward, uncomplicated ingredients your body actually understands; our products are built to help you slow down and find simple pleasures in everyday moments.

Body & Home Essentials You Understand.

Botanicals & Blaze was born out of a simple frustration: stores are completely flooded with synthetic fragrances, artificial fillers, and hidden chemical additives. I was tired of reading labels packed with toxic ingredients that are banned in other countries and proven to cause harm. I knew there was a better way to care for your body and your living space. More than that, I wanted to feel a deeper understanding and connection to the natural healing powers of plants.

I personally handcraft our core body care and home lines in small batches using uncomplicated, earth-born ingredients. You will never find synthetic perfumes, artificial fillers, or harsh stabilizers on our shelves. The goal is simple: to help you feel a little closer to nature during your everyday moments, giving you total peace of mind.

It's A Family Affair

Behind our products is a dedicated family effort to bring natural, handcrafted design into your home:

  • Hand-Pressed Flower Cards Our collection of unique Pressed Flower Greeting Cards is entirely designed and arranged by my youngest son. He preserves real leaves, petals, and seasonal flowers on heavy cardstock. No two cards are ever identical, making each one a beautiful piece of botanical art ready to be gifted or framed.
  • Lavender Eye Pillows: Our deeply comforting, weighted eye pillows are individually sewn by my mother using soft, natural fabrics. Her handcrafted pieces are built for hot and cold therapy to relieve facial tension and ease headaches naturally.
  • Everybody Helps From the Calendula Salve and Muscle Magic to our Botanical Linen Mists, I personally formulate, mix, and pour every single batch, print and affix every label to ensure absolute ingredient purity and product consistency. My entire family supports this business in a multitude of ways, by growing and drying herbs or testing and sampling products...the brave even come to markets with me and I wouldn't have it any other way ❤️

My Small Batch Promise

  • Total Transparency: Every single ingredient is listed clearly in plain English right on the product page. Nothing hidden, ever.
  • Handcrafted Quality: We make everything ourselves in careful, limited batches. When an item sells out, it is because we are busy harvesting and infusing the next fresh round of botanicals.

Watch Us Grow: My passion starts in the soil. I post almost entirely about gardening, plant care, and our small harvest processes on social media. Follow along behind the scenes to see exactly where our botanical inspiration comes from on Instagram @botanicalsandblaze
