Dresden & Company: Sail-abrate good times, come on!⛵

01/06/2025

July 1st marks the start of the New financial Year for many businesses in the USA. This year is it is also the Launch of our NEW LIFE!

Packing the car? Easy.
Leaving behind what no longer fits? That’s the real work.
We’re stepping into a new season—choosing a life rooted in beauty, practicality, and sovereignty.
In that spirit, I’ve partnered with Dresden & Company—a small-batch home goods company that collaborates directly with artisans. Together, we're building a new standard of useful beauty, impactful products, and community based commerce.

It’s not just a new income stream—it’s part of our journey. A synergistic alignment that allows us keep moving forward in our personal growth without compromising our vision for more sustainable future.

If that resonates with you, I’d love to share what’s unfolding.

Set Sail for Summer!

Hello friends,

First and foremost, thank you all so much for the incredible support you've given us during our journey toward homeownership. I'm proud and grateful to say we did successfully secure the mortgage! However, at the last moment, my in-laws decided not to proceed with selling us the house we've called home since 2019.

Although this isn't the outcome we had hoped for, we are choosing to see this as an opportunity for growth and adventure. After weighing our options, we've decided to take this chance to embark on a traveling journey. Starting May 31st, we'll be camping, exploring new communities, and learning as we go.

Truthfully, we're feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness about what lies ahead. It's a big change, but we're eager to embrace it.

We'll keep you updated on our progress, experiences, and learnings along the way. Your continued support means the world to us.

With so much love and thanks
Necole & the kiddos

A woman in one of the groups I'm in just posted that it's her and her boyfriend's one year anniversary and ask for the people in the group to help promote her boyfriend's tattoo businesses Instagram.

That's a really cool anniversary present! 💝

🌿 Mosquito Repellent Oil 🌿

The kids came in and told me we had ripe beautyberries! I’ve been on the lookout for these to make a mosquito repellent for weeks now and had completely forgotten we planted some along the fence line last year.

Beautyberry leaves have been shown to naturally repel mosquitoes, thanks to their special compounds like callicarpenal. I picked a few leaves to create an all-natural and very effective mosquito repellent. It’s simple to do at home if you have access to beautyberry leaves—just infuse them in oil and add some essential oils for extra protection and a lovely scent.

Here’s the simple recipe if you want to make it yourself:

1/4 cup beautyberry leaf-infused oil
20 drops lemongrass essential oil
10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
12 drops lavender essential oil
Just combine these ingredients, and you’ve got yourself a natural, effective mosquito repellent!

For those who’d rather purchase it, I’m offering this repellent in 10 mL rollerball bottles for $5 each. If you’d prefer to make your own, or are interested into essential oils and difusers, I have an affiliate link with a great company that offers high-quality products. Feel free to check them out https://organicaromas.com/ref/531/ your support through this link is also greatly appreciated!

As many of you know, we’re working hard to purchase a home for the kids and me. Every bit of support is truly appreciated!

So things got a little bit wild and overgrown.

I'll be posting my progress on cleaning up this mess.

However I was able to collect a whole bunch of Spanish needle and I am super excited.

For those of you who don't know Spanish needle is edible and incredibly nutritious, the seeds can be used as a topical analgesic, and the dried leaves can be used as a to***co substitute.
