Crose Nest: treat your better you right

Becoming more connected to our version of intentional living has become a conversation of mainstream. Taking a natural approach to healing and nurturing oneself is no longer considered “out there” or “hippy dippy”.  Herbalism is now not only 100% super cool, it is agreed throughout many walks of life to be very effective.

Check out Crose Nest, Hudson’s botanical pharmacopoeia, and allow it to inspire you to take the lead in your own herbal reinvention.

DIY apothecary with herbal blending stations display recipe books and jars upon jars of ingredients for making one's own teas, facial scrubs, and even whiskey infusion kits. Walls are lined with tinctures to assist aliments from allergies to anxiety, elixirs to boost the immune system, and syrups to give a healthy kiss to one’s beverages.

The second half is a selection of lusciously curated artisan home goods, natural skin care, jewelry and artwork. There is even a potted plant station where one can choose from a variety of baby plants and pots, with overflowing bowls of stones and crystals for the new greeneries’ final adornment.

Spend some time browsing this bustling gem in beautifully revitalized Hudson, and it’s fastly clear that this is a shop for everyone.  Mothers and daughters work together crafting face masks for stocking stuffers. An elderly women sits on a rattan chair surrounded by norfolk pines, sipping mushroom milk. A young couple shop for vintage style botanical posters for their new apartment.

Founder, herbalist, Kinsey Rosene gracefully sweeps in and around customers, offering samples of lavender and lemon balm bitters with seltzer, performing demos of japanese incense burning, and advising curious customers on products in a manner that is both modest and intimate.  There is a gift in her approach that makes it so easy to ask seemingly embarrassing questions. Dive in deeper and sign up for Crose Nest’s Full Moon Medicine making events and Tea Meditations. Leave with a beautifully packaged bag of goodies and a completely new outlook on self care and health. How about that for an afternoon out?
