About Myra and HerbanLuxe

Myra is mom to three barmy girls - Jean-A'Layn, Stephanie and Isabela.  By day, she  works from her home as a Corporate Instructional Designer; but here alther-ego is very much a mad scientist.
When Myra was about 11, her abuela began teaching her how to work with herbs for healing purposes. Her abuela also taught her how to make makeup using natural ingredients such as herbs, natural clays and more.  When her abuela's parkinson made it difficult for her to hold a cup in her hands, Myra became her abuela's hands mixing and making concoctions.
About 10 years ago her craft became a business.  In 2007, I had the unique privilege of appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show as a finalist in her search for the next big idea. In 2009, she sold her business AND NOW she caters to  her favorite group of people, savvy Etsy shoppers who appreciate all the goes into making anything handmade.


Here are some questions I asked Myra....


What is your favorite fall/winter drink? 
My fall/winter drink is - Coquito.  I'm from Puerto Rico and Coquito is the equivalent to eggnog in the US {minus the egg and the nog}.  It's a concoction of  coconut milk, cream of coconut, evaporated milk, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, vanilla and lots and lots of Puerto Rican Rum.


Coffee or Tea?
Both - coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon


Favorite Quote?
I'm a Dr. Seuss fanatic and actually have more than one favorite quotes, but my top two are:

"Why fit it when you were born to stand out?"  and
"Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way"

Check Out Amy from You Will Rejoice

BLOG. ETSY. 

Amy from You Will Rejoice is totally the coolest! She is right now in the middle of redoing her house and she has the greatest shop ever! You should check her out :)


Hello! Thanks for having me :)  My name is Amy and I blog over at You Will Rejoice. I am a 23 year old English teacher by day, DIYer, blogger by night. I live in Ann Arbor, MI with my husband while he attends The University of Michigan (go blue!) for grad school. We recently bought a house in major need of repairs and have slowly been working to fix it up. We both love home improvement projects and really enjoy working on the house. I also run an etsy shop, One Stitch Away, with my mom, where we sell handmade recycled felted wool mittens, infinity scarves, and headbands. Starting and running the shop has been one of my personal biggest accomplishments and I love sewing and filling orders!

My favorite fall drink is definitely a salted caramel latte. But, normally I'm a coffee drinker. I probably drink 2-3 cups per day and it keeps me going.


My favorite quote is: "I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."     --Shauna Niequist
