Happy Easter Giveaway #8 - Vital Mother Moon (Closed)

We know how stressful it could be to be a mom, an artist/crafter/designer and an Etsy seller!  So naturally we love stores like the one featured today! Maria from Vital Mother Moon (http://www.vitalmoon.etsy.com/) has just the right products to help us relax and rejuvenate so we can face another challenging day. With her background (which you will read below), you can trust she knows how to help us take care of our bodies and mind. So lets get to know her, her products and her store:

What’s your store name and how long have you been an Etsymom?

My store name is Vital Mother Moon. I joined Etsy mom in January - I am a new mom, my sun Negus Tafari was born in September.

Tell us more about your store items and why you love making them?

On Etsy I make healing care products for body - inside and out. The products are made from my other social enterprise - urban farming! I own and manage a community-based urban farm in the heart of Pittsburgh, PA. There we grow our herbs and harvest and dry them for tea mixes, tinctures and salves! Everything is done right here in Pittsburgh PA.

What is one thing you want everyone to know about you?

My herstory is spending almost a decade learning plant-based medicine while being a Birth and Postpartum Doula. So I have been very dedicated to women's health and the use of natural products around the childbearing years to support fertility, pregnancy and baby.

What’s your favorite thing to do during Easter?

I love to be outside in this beautiful spring weather - so potting up bulbs, uncovering spring buds and watching the bunnies and birds come out of their hideaways is the best part for me!

How much Easter chocolate/candy bunny or eggs will you let your kid(s) eat?

My sun Negus is only 5 mos old, so he will be getting no chocolate this year. But my partner and I have been discussing the history and the disparities around the chocolate industry and if there is any chocolate in the home it will be fair-trade only - but thankfully there is a growing market around fair-trade so I can easily find healthy and conscious versions of this favored treat!

Do you have a blog, facebook fanpage, twitter account or other store outside of Etsy?

Oh yeah!
