About
Welcome to Fresh Picked Beauty, my corner of the internet where natural beauty meets a bit of kitchen alchemy. I am Shannon, a certified aromatherapist and published author, and a longtime believer that the best skincare often starts in a mixing bowl.
For over a decade, I have been teaching people how to turn simple ingredients-oils, butters, clays, and botanicals-into seriously good beauty products. Think whipped body butters, glow-giving face oils, and essential oil blends that smell like pure joy.
This blog is where clean beauty goes hands-on.
What You'll Find Here
- DIY recipes that actually work-from lip balms to serums.
- Ingredient guides that decode what is worth buying (and what is hype)
- Aromatherapy blends for mood, beauty and skin.
- Modern rituals for slow, intentional self-care
- A dash of humor, a pinch of science, and plenty of good scents.
A Little Backstory
Fresh Picked Beauty started as a passion project back in 2011-just me, a handful of essential oils, and an endless curiosity about what makes skin glow. What began as a blog grew into a resource for thousands of readers, a published book (200 Tips, Techniques & Recipes for Natural Beauty), and a lifelong mission to help people reconnect with the beauty of making things by hand.
