About Green Beauty Mama

Welcome to Green Beauty Mama, your go-to resource for embracing the beauty and power of nature in your life. I’m Amy, a Midwest native, a 3rd generation forager, and a firm believer that the most beautiful and effective solutions can come straight from the earth.

Growing up in the Midwest I spent a ton of time with my grandparents who lived through the Great Depression. Under their care and tutelage I learned early on the value of creating useful and budget friendly homemade products with my own hands, the joy of foraging and the usefulness of the plants that grow all around us. From the woods to the kitchen, I’ve always found inspiration in the natural world, whether I’m whipping up non-toxic skincare and haircare products, crafting DIY beauty essentials, concocting green cleaning recipes or creating delicious recipes with my foraged goodies .

You’ll find me at my off-grid gypsy wagon in the woods in a ball cap and hiking boots as often as you will in a dress with full makeup. In my free time I like to read, travel, build miniatures, and dress up my silly porch goose. 

At Green Beauty Mama, I share my passion for harnessing the gifts of Mother Nature to create beautiful, functional products. My love for crafting and creating is at the heart of everything I do, and I’m excited to help you explore the endless possibilities of natural living.

Whether you’re here to learn about the benefits of essential oils, discover new ways to use foraged ingredients, or simply to find some inspiration for your own DIY projects, I’m thrilled to have you join this community. Together, we can create a more beautiful, sustainable, and natural world—one homemade product at a time.

In addition to Green Beauty Mama, I also run Accidental Happy Baker, an easy recipe blog where I share my love for simple, delicious food. Whether it’s in the kitchen, the craft room or out at the gypsy wagon, I believe that the best things in life are simple, homemade, and from the heart.

Thank you for being here and for letting me share my journey with you!
