Hi lovely💛
I thought I was stepping out for a quiet harvest this week... Instead, I came back with something that turned my whole morning ritual upside down.
It started with Calendula & Marigold... But could my garden really be hiding the simplest glow secret of all? 😱
Turns out, yes! And it comes from a bee + berry duo that fuels both my kitchen experiments and Frøya’s most unique skincare 🐝🍊

What nature served me this week 🌾

I found Calendula and Marigold, two beautiful edible flowers I love using as topping, on salads, desserts, or even my morning oatmeal 🥣 I usually top it with my homemade granola (recipe here), some fruit, and a few petals 🏵️

Honestly? I can’t think of a better way to start the day 😍
I love to eat the petals fresh, or dry them so they last long after they’ve finished blooming and are out of season 🌸
They are two wonderful ingredients for your skin, too!

🤔 Do you ever use edible flowers in your cooking? I’d love to know your favorites!

The kitchen garden was generous this week, too. I harvested squash, radishes, spring onions and carrots... All organic, of course. And the flavor? So much better than anything store-bought 🙌

My cucumbers didn’t make it this year 🥲But honestly... that’s just how nature works. What she gives us changes year by year, and that’s part of the beauty, don’t you think? 🥰
I’d love your best veggie-growing hacks, by the way! 🌿

 

This week’s highlight?
Beeswax + Sea Buckthorn

After last week’s berry adventure, where I made juice and oil from freshly picked Sea Buckthorn, I wanted to share how I’ve been recreating mini Frøya rituals in my own kitchen.
I’m using some of the very same ingredients we use in our skincare line!

🐝 Beeswax forms a breathable, protective layer on the skin, locking in moisture and softening dry, irritated areas. It’s calming, naturally antibacterial, and perfect for lips, hands or sensitive patches.
🍊 Sea Buckthorn is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and skin-repairing fatty acids. It gives your skin glow, strength, and resilience, and has been loved by everyone from Vikings to modern scientists.
Together, they make a power duo for skin, and they’re two of the ingredients that truly set Frøya apart from other brands 😉

At Frøya, beeswax is refined to support skin barrier function, while Sea Buckthorn is used as both cold-pressed oil and CO₂ extract to preserve delicate omegas, vitamins, and antioxidants.
That’s why our formulas are lighter, more stable and far more effective!

I’m crazy about experimenting and coming up with new ideas, and I will share some exciting news later on! 🤩

 

Bonus glow from the garden 🥕

With the carrots I harvested, I also made one of my absolute favorites:

It’s pure, drinkable skincare, great for digestion, inflammation, and glowing skin from within ✨
You’ll find the full recipe here:

All in all, it’s been one of those weeks that reminds me why I love living this way 💆♀️ Close to nature, in tune with the seasons, and surrounded by small, nourishing rituals that ground me.

I’d love to hear from you 💌
Do you enjoy these little updates from the farm, the forest, and the Frøya lifestyle? I read every single response and love knowing what inspires you most 🥰

I’ll be back soon with more everyday moments and little joys from this life I love 🌿

Big hug,

The heart of Frøya 🌸
