The everyday ritual
A small scoop.
A soft landing.
I save the space in the tin for our plant butters and oils. The water gets its own moment in your bath or shower. Leave your skin slightly damp, warm a small scoop between your palms, and smooth it on.
Give your hands, heels, and cuticles a little extra love. For hair or a beard, start with a trace on the ends. This is a rich blend, and your own skin and hair will tell you how much feels right.
The whip can change with warmth, and the color can vary between small batches. That’s part of working with these ingredients. Keep your tin cool and dry, and scoop with clean, dry hands.

A few things before you bliss
Home waters
The coast
I carry with me.
San Simeon is part of my story. We managed the Sands Motel on Hearst Drive. My first job was at the Moonraker on Moonstone Beach Drive. Years later, Greg and I wanted that beloved stretch to be part of our wedding, too. After our Hearst Beach vows, we returned there and exchanged the rings we’d forgotten to bring.
There are the big views, of course. But there are also the little things: a stone in the wash, a tide pool you almost walked past, the way the light changes while you’re standing still. Check the tide, use the public paths, and leave the small ocean worlds as you found them.
That’s why I wanted the Coast Atlas here. Somewhere to find your next detour, look up the low tide, and make a little room for the sea.

Behind the tin
Good butter.
Beautiful hands.
I choose Baraka for our shea and cocoa butter because I care about the ingredients and the women behind them. Traditional knowledge, skilled work, and income that helps a family care for its own. As a mama, that stays with me.
I make the ganache in small batches in my kitchen, but the story begins before it gets to me. I want there to be room here for those hands, too.
