Welcome, fellow Beauty Maker.
I’m Julia, and I’m thrilled you’re here! When I first started making my own DIY beauty I was a little bit overwhelmed. However, I stuck with it because I kept reminding myself of the WHY.
My journey started with an allergic reaction to the chemicals in my toothpaste. About the same time I got into the Zero Waste Movement—and it just flowed from then on. Bit by bit, I replaced my skincare with my own natural DIY products!
And WOW, what a difference it made! My skin got better, my wallet was happy and I reduced the amount of waste.
Lavender Gypsy is a DIY beauty blog with a holistic approach.
A few years back, I took my journey to the next level and dove deep into holistic wellness and health by studying Aromatherapy, Ayurveda, Face Yoga and Gua Sha.
This knowledge now flows into my recipes and creations to provide you with all the information needed to safely make your DIY beauty products!
My easy-to-follow recipes empower you to walk your path with confidence and encourage you to make your own choices on the way. Here at Lavender Gypsy, we don’t just follow trends—we follow our intuition, our body’s voice!
Beauty should be simple, natural, and chemical-free. Just like food, what we put on our skin & body matters! My DIY products focus on using clean ingredients that are derived straight from Mother Earth and (in most cases) haven’t seen a lab from the inside!
