Recherch'e Organics

And just like that the season is over…

If you know me you know I love to learn and embark on new things. This year it has been dahlias and learning Portuguese, that have brought me the most daily joy….

Next comes the “work” part of dahlias. Cut, dig up, clean, divide, and store for the long hibernation. And to think that I am already planning to double my space (and varieties) for next year… 🤣

I have a long history with Colorado, starting back over 23 years ago. I have adventured here, loved here, some of my dearest friends have lived here. It has a piece of my heart. I feel blessed that I still after all of these years, get to continue creating new memorable experiences in this beautiful state. Last day tucked in the mountains, in a cabin in the woods. Hot tub steps away, fire in the fire place, good food and great company. ❤️

Yesterday, with a small group of lovely people, I got to harvest honey for the first time. I have seen parts of the process before but never start to finish.

We took the racks from the hive, shook off the bees, took the racks and de-capped them (my very sticky job 🤣) , put the racks into a spinner (centrifuge machine of unknow name), and finally strained the liquid gold.

Eating honey comb excessively and through a great deal of laughter we got it all done in just a few hours. 🍯

Here we are at the very beginning of one of my favorite times of the year. It's chilly mornings and warm afternoons, layering clothes becomes a must. The leaves get their first hint of change; gardens are abundant, and there is the anticipatory first frost. So each morning that I wake up and it hasn't happened yet- is one more day of flowers and fresh garden food.

Do you have a favorite season?

September 11th is a day that asks us to pause.

To remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders and ordinary citizens who moved toward danger to help. It is also a day to remember the thousands who survived but carried the physical and emotional weight of that morning for years afterward.

For those who remember exactly where they were, the images and emotions have never fully faded. For younger generations, 9/11 may feel like history—but it remains part of the lives of countless families and communities.

Today is not about politics. It is about people.

It is about honoring courage, mourning lives interrupted, and remembering how deeply we are connected to one another.

May we never forget those we lost, those who served, and those who still carry the weight of September 11.

Where were you on the morning of Sept 11, 2001

It's time to refresh for fall! Whether switching out your summer products for the cooler months or looking at last year's items and deciding you need a revamp, we are here for you!

There is a sitewide sale going on right now (Thursday through Friday). Simply use code at checkout. Link to our website below...

If you look closely at our ingredient lists, Hyaluronic Acid is used as a base in most all of our Serums. Why you ask? Well, because it is one of those ingredients that our bodies know instinctively how to use. Every cell in our bodies (and all plant cells also) make hyaluronic acid.
But starting around 20 years old, production begins to slow. Hyaluronic Acid production falls at a rate of about 1% per year. Meaning that by the time you are 40, you have naturally lost around 15-20% of production.

What does Hyaluronic Acid do? It brings water into the cell and makes the cell as "plump" as it was during our youth. It means that each cell then takes up the amount of space that it "should". Which in turn causes less drooping, sagging, and fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid is one of those behind the scenes work horses.

Over the years, skincare companies have gotten better at making Hyaluronic acid. Using differet sized molecules in the same serum to target different skin depths, but if you were to ask me, this ingredient won't be going anywhere for a long time. It is a simple product to use, and truly moisturizes from the inside out.

Do you use HA?

This may not look like much but in fact it means IT’S TIME TO SCALE…

And what a hilarious way to send me the message. A slack notification screen shot between partners.

If you need me, I’ll be over here strategizing the next 12 and 18 month scaling increments…

Dahlia’s and happiness…
Here’s the thing by the time you’ve reached your 40’s you’ve likely seen your share of sorrow and chaos. For me, now, it becomes searching for and seeking out little joy. Small pleasures.

One of these simple pleasures is gardening and even more specific, growing flowers. If you have been around here for a while, you may know that Dahlia’s are new to me basically as of this year… and watching each of these spectacularly different looking flowers grow and bloom has already offered up many hours of joy.

What kinds of things bring you small joys?

We've been fairly unsteady with posting over here the last few months. But rest assured, we have been growing the business and doing summer life! As we start settling back into a bit of regular life, it becomes important to reassess.
