Escape into Serenity

Story

At Jade Moon Apothecary, we believe in the power of reclaiming and recentering our attention on the things that truly matter as a way to combat the despair and anger that seems to have taken over social media algorithms.

Our goal is to provide you with high-quality products to enhance your bath time experience so that you too can log off, feel free to set your phone down, soak, enjoy the sensations of the present moment, and use the time to relax and consider what areas of your life you may be putting off in favor of doom scrolling. 

​

My name is Jade and I spent many years being very active on social media. I knew all the lingo and most up to date memes, most of the videos and posts my friends sent me I'd already seen before, I enjoyed how easy it became to find new content I enjoyed, but mostly I loved how connected it allowed me to feel to others. 

​​

At a certain point though the medicine became the poison and I didn't even notice. I found myself feeling irritable, anxious, and generally off-kilter in my real life. The career I worked so hard for became a source of resentment. The people I loved the most became a chore for me to make time for. Interestingly enough, even though I was more socially "connected" I never felt more alone. 

​

Then there was a hurricane in my area and I didn't have power or cell service in the aftermath for about a week. During that time I saw my family in person more than I had in the preceding months. I hung out with my partner and my animals. I gave all of them my undivided attention because there was nothing pulling it away. Eventually I noticed I stopped carrying my phone every where I went. 

​

After this experience I found myself calmer, life had meaning again, and it became painfully obvious that my media habits were the biggest contributor to my discontentment. 

​

When the power and WiFi came back I decided to make a change in how I used social media. After a while I realized that I had more free time and motivation to create since I was no longer consuming. I experimented with many hobbies and got really into making bath bombs.

​

I have always done my best thinking in the bath, probably because it is one of the few times I'm alone with nothing else to do. I would like to share that experience with you. Each bath product will come with a statement or question that is designed to make you think. Something you can ponder while enjoying your alone time. 

​

Let your mind wander, the journey is endless & the view is breathtaking.
