About Catnip and Kombucha

gardening houseplant tools soil plants seedling

Catnip and Kombucha is a natural lifestyle blog where you can find fun and helpful information on topics such as wellness, fermentation, herbalism, mushroom hunting, wild plant foraging, gardening, cooking, DIY projects, and relevant product recommendations.

I am adding recipes and tutorials regularly. This is a mostly natural living blog because this is real life and there has to be balance. I’m all about home remedies, healthy, organic, eco-friendly, etc., however, I’m also a real human that might share a sugar-filled donut recipe, my favorite nail wraps, or something else that doesn’t fall into the typical categories. 

Catnip and Kombucha is all about DIY and trying new things. Just jump right in. Everyone has to start somewhere. Don’t be afraid of not being an expert. Be an explorer. Be a student. Take imperfect action. Find your passions. Get messy. 

About Me

This is my serious face.

My name is Jasmine but most people call me Jaz. I’m a geek and goofy mom of two boys, two smelly cats, and a lover of nature, but not bugs. I’m a longtime photographer (started with film) from New England and currently studying herbal medicine while working on building a rather extensive home apothecary. I do yoga and lift weights, make big kitchen messes, buy too many houseplants, and start too many projects. I play guitar and piano in my spare time, or more like when I’m procrastinating. When I am not doing any of the above I am probably eating something.

This site is fairly new, a work in progress, and will probably change a million times. If you’re having any trouble navigating please feel free to contact me here. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the site. You can see what I’m up to daily on Instagram and Facebook stories.
