Alchemist Haven

You know, at Alchemist Haven, we share memories, tell stories, and keep those dear to us memorialized through fragrances, candles, and products created with love. We put our hearts into every single thing we do.

There’s a reason our products exist. They’re not just something to put on a shelf and sell. They’re created with intention—to make life a little better, a little easier, a little more comfortable, or perhaps a little less painful. There’s a story behind almost everything we do.

I know I’ve told the story of our logo before, but on this gorgeous Saturday afternoon, I thought I’d share it again. 💗

🌸 The Cornflowers…💙🩵

My Grandpa Harris passed away when I was 14. October 19th. I remember it was cold outside. Isn’t it funny how certain dates and little details never leave you?

Grandpa Harris was to the Harris side of our family what my Grandma Grantham was to my mom’s side. He was the one who brought everyone together. The gathering place. The heart of the family.

When Pa passed, Mom was helping arrange the flowers for the spray on his casket. You see, the Fourth of July was his favorite holiday, so Mom wanted his flowers to be red, white, and blue. And she especially wanted blue cornflowers.

The florist explained that finding cornflowers in October was probably going to be impossible, but she promised to try. Eventually, the call came. “I’m so sorry, but we just can’t find them.” Mom was disappointed, but she understood. The spray would simply be red and white.

Then came the day of visitation.

The funeral director approached Mom and asked if he could share something with her. He had her sit down and explained that a driver had unexpectedly arrived with a bucket of blue cornflowers. Nobody knew where they had come from.

The driver simply said something along the lines of, “I don’t know who these belong to, but if you want them, they’re free.”

Blue cornflowers. In October. The very flowers nobody could find.

And just like that…

Pa got his red, white, and blue. ❤️🤍💙

Flowers from Heaven? I like to think so. 🥹

Those flowers have held a special place in our family ever since. And because my soul has always felt such a deep connection to Scotland, where the countryside and wildflowers speak to something in me, I love them all the more.

So those little blue cornflowers have a permanent place on our logo. They’re not just flowers. They’re Pa. They’re family. They’re memories. They’re love that continues long after someone leaves this earth.

🐸 And the Little Frog?

Wellllll… 😂💚

As a child, I was absolutely obsessed with frogs! I loved them. Still do!

They’re innocent, sweet little creatures, but they also represent something much bigger to me. Frogs are sensitive to their environment, and when they’re thriving, it’s often a wonderful indication of a healthy, livable ecosystem.

And that’s what I want Alchemist Haven to be. A place where life is nurtured, where nature is respected, where the smallest creatures matter, and where we create things with thoughtfulness, care, and respect for the world around us.

The Roses?🌹
For my Great Grandmama. Mom wanted something for her, and they seemed perfect.
🌿 And THAT is why Alchemist Haven exists. It’s about all the good.

Our desire has always been to make life better for humanity and all the little creatures we share this beautiful earth with.

If we can be a vessel for making someone’s day brighter, easing a little discomfort, preserving a beautiful memory, or simply putting a smile on someone’s face, we’re in.

That’s our purpose. That’s our heart. And that’s why I believe the intention behind what we create matters just as much as the creation itself.

So when you see our logo, I hope you’ll see more than a pretty little sign. You’ll see a grandfather who brought his family together, a mother who wanted to honor him with his favorite colors; love for a grandmother from a (mom) granddaughter ; a little girl who loved frogs, and a grown woman who carried those memories into a dream called Alchemist Haven.

And somehow, all these years later, Pa’s cornflowers are still bringing people together. 💙

To everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, shared our stories, purchased our creations, and helped this little dream continue to grow, thank you.

You have no idea how much your love and encouragement mean to us. Thank you for giving our little dream the fuel to continue 💖

We love you. Truly. 💗

So now you know the why behind our logo. The memories, the heart, and the intentions woven into every little detail.

Let your heart be true, and your intentions always be of the highest integrity.

❤️

Guys. 🥹🥹🥹 My heart is SO FULL. ❤️

So yesterday, I received several calls asking why Alchemist Haven wasn’t in Northwest Arkansas for the craft fairs this year.

And believe me, WE MISS YOU TOO! ❤️

We absolutely LOVE doing these events, but the truth is, there just aren’t enough of us to go around right now! (More to share on that later. 😉🤭)

BUT Y’ALL… LOOK AT THESE PRECIOUS GALS! 🥹❤️
Thank you, Katie Ellis, Kathy Pearson, and Terri Duarte💖💖💖

These sweet ladies drove TWO AND A HALF HOURS just to come see us at Alchemist Haven and stock up on their favorite goodies!

TWO. AND. A. HALF. HOURS. 🥹

Do you have any idea what that means to a little locally owned business like mine?

I am humbled. I am flattered. And quite frankly, I’m a little emotional about it.

When you pour your heart, soul, time, creativity, and a whole lot of elbow grease into building something, moments like this remind you WHY you do it.

It’s never been just about selling soap, perfume, or skincare.

It’s about the people. The relationships. The friendships. The connections.

To these beautiful ladies, THANK YOU. Thank you for making that drive, for supporting my little dream, and for reminding me that what we’re building here at Alchemist Haven reaches so much farther than the four walls of our shop.

And to all our NWA friends asking where we’ve been… WE HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN YOU! ❤️

From the very bottom of my heart, thank you for loving what we do.

You make this little alchemist’s heart so very happy. 🥹❤️

Happy National Boss’s Day! 💋

🍑💋 OH, SNAP!!! 🍑💋

A little tightening, a little toning, and a WHOLE LOT of skin-loving goodness! 🔥

Let’s talk about one of our cheekiest creations at Alchemist Haven — Oh, Snap! Cellulite & Stretch Mark Cream!

And because we know not everybody wants the same level of intensity, we created TWO versions!

REGULAR OCTANE — Your Everyday Skin-Loving Goodness!

Don’t let regular fool you-this gal can nourish, hydrate, and improve the appearance of your skin!

✨ Hyaluronic Acid — Helps draw moisture into the skin, giving it a plumper, smoother appearance.

✨ Gotu Kola — A botanical traditionally treasured for skin care and studied for its potential to support skin firmness and elasticity.

✨ Green Tea Extract — Rich in antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental stressors.

✨ Coffee Butter & Aloe Butter — Help soften, condition, and nourish dry skin.

✨ Collagen & Oat Protein — Help condition the skin and support a soft, smooth feel.

✨ Retinol — Encourages skin cell turnover and can help improve uneven texture over time.

✨ Pink Grapefruit & Bitter Orange — Bring a beautifully refreshing citrus aroma!

🔥 HIGH OCTANE — KICK IT UP A NOTCH!

Everything we love about our Regular Octane, but with an EXTRA ingredient…

☕ CAFFEINE!

Why caffeine?

Caffeine is used in body-care products because it may temporarily help skin appear tighter and smoother, making it a popular ingredient in cellulite-focused creams!

Think of High Octane as our extra little boost for those wanting to target the appearance of uneven, dimpled skin.

🍑 SO WHICH ONE IS FOR YOU?

🍑Regular Octane: Beautiful everyday hydration, nourishment, and smoother-looking skin.

🔥 High Octane: All that skin-loving goodness PLUS caffeine for an extra temporary smoothing effect!

And here’s something I always want our customers to understand…

Cellulite is NORMAL. Stretch marks are NORMAL. They’re part of living in a body that grows, changes, and carries us through life!

Love your body!

🍂🧔 You know what cold weather means??? BEARDS!!! 😂

And around here, we like our men with GOOD-SMELLING BEARDS… NOT STINKY MAN BEARDS! 🤣🤣

Gentlemen, just because you’re growing out that handsome face sweater doesn’t mean you get to neglect it!

Introducing our Alchemist Haven Beard Refreshers! 💙

🇺🇸 HERO – Apricot, Citrus, Fresh, woodsy, and downright handsome!

🎩 FANCY FELLA – To***co & Teakwood! Warm, masculine, and just a little sophisticated. 🤤

Guys I’m leaving a bit early for drachenmoor this eve, so message if you need anything!
We won’t be here till 6:(

💙 Good beards deserve good smells!🖤🖤🖤

😴😴😴Anyone else want a nappy nap today???

Let’s talk about TWO of our favorites from our Elementals collection!

One is a roller, one is a cream… and BOTH contain MAGNESIUM! 💜

But what’s the difference? And why did we choose the ingredients we did?

🌲 SLEEPY — The Roller

Formulated with spruce, juniper, colloidal silver, jojoba oil, and magnesium oil!

Now, let’s talk about SPRUCE! 🌲

Spruce has long been appreciated in aromatherapy for its calming, grounding aroma. That beautiful, fresh, woodsy scent is traditionally used to encourage relaxation, quiet the mind, and create a sense of peace.

Combine that with juniper’s crisp, earthy aroma, and you’ve got a lovely little botanical blend for winding down after a long day!

In a convenient roller!

🌙 SLEEPY TIME — The Cream

Ohhhh, now this one is a little different!

Our rich, silky cream combines magnesium with beautiful botanical oils, including pomegranate, marula, red raspberry seed, and baobab, along with other skin-loving ingredients!

It’s designed to nourish and moisturize the skin while giving you the perfect excuse for a little bedtime massage.

Apply to the bottoms of your feet, massage it in, and enjoy a few moments of relaxation before crawling into bed!

💜 SO WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

✨ The Roller: Lightweight, portable, aromatic, and wonderful for targeted application. Spruce and juniper bring that lovely forest-inspired relaxation experience!

✨ The Cream: Richer, more moisturizing, and perfect for massaging tired feet while nourishing your skin. And scent free.

AND WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON? MAGNESIUM!

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in normal muscle and nervous system function. While the science on magnesium absorption through the skin is still developing, we love incorporating it into our evening self- care.

The scent of spruce. The comfort of a warm cream. A little foot massage. A few quiet minutes to yourself.

And today is sleeeepy😴
We are here till 5:30 today!
