Okay, here we go… I’m Ella, a young nature and art enthusiast. I’m originally from Finland but moved to the States about three years ago. It has been a journey to say the least; a lot of ups and downs. But mostly growth in my walk of faith… well definitely some step backs along the way too.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to figure out what to say in this first post ’cause honestly, I could write a novel haha! But I know ain’t nobody got time for that!

For years I had thought about starting a blog but never did. Until God planted a special vision in my heart. Me and Him have a passion for blessing people around the world and our UNIQUE planet Earth. He stirred a fire in me to help others find sustainable and natural options for everyday life, whether it is make up or dish soap… or thrifting. Now, I’m far from doing this perfectly and I’m only learning myself, so I’m open for suggestions and would love to hear if any of my beautiful readers know of any good brands to use or tips on how to do things more naturally.

I also want to talk about my imperfect journey with Jesus, and hopefully have conversations about it with you, whoever lands on my page. AND last but not least… DRuM RoLLs… WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ART!!! I’ll be sharing my own work, your work (if you’d like that.. that is), tips and stories.

But before this post becomes too revealing, I want to close it with a tiny prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, help me to be a shining light in these peoples’ lives, lead me to help my blog be a blessing and honoring to You. Help me to encourage my readers to have conversations with me and share their stories while we grow together to be Your people. Help us to love You in our own unique ways and love each other as Your unique work of art and nothing less. Give me wisdom to use this blog as a platform that is a part of Your plan for my life. And lastly, God, I want to pray health and joy over each and all of my readers. And help me to keep a humble heart and a sound mind through this new journey. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

And here’s a tasting for what is to come!;)

Here’s a beautyyyyy tip of the day. SO, naturally my hair is pretty darn dry and frizzy. And all that hair dying during my teenage years definitely helped a lot… NOT! I remember going to a hairdresser last year, and he started laughing at how frizzy it actually is.. smh. And to top it all I have a very sensitive skin, so you can only imagine all the problems during the years with my scalp. BUT! My dear friend Argan Oil came to my rescue and is one of my many trusted beauty products. I use organic Moroccan Argan Oil by US ORGANIC. And because it’s all natural, no fragrances, it has an interesting smell to it. Still I love it love it love it!

I normally put about two to three drops after showering. and every now and then in the morning. It has been a saving grace in my life. It’s not a miracle worker, my hair is still playful, especially the ends that still have some left over hair dye, but it definitely has helped a lot. So, I Ella Rantala recommend this product.
