Shiva Rose is no stranger to that Chalkboard way of life. We’ve featured her many times in her Santa Monica Mountains home, are obsessed with her new serum, and run into her at our favorite spots in town. But nowhere is our shared love for all things natural more evident than on the pages of The Local Rose where Shiva regularly shares insights on how she achieves the holistic good life in the day-to-day.
Shiva is the real deal and we knew her Green Goddess Guide would be a thrill to read. The recent launch of her own beautifying rose oil make this the perfect time to share her sweet insights on beauty rituals, favorite products and all-out obsessions. Read now, shop her guide and then take a turn about her beautiful site for a dose of all things Rose.

Weirdest beauty habit:
Not brushing my hair; putting washed ghee on my face and body. Also oil pulling first thing in the morning (take a tablespoon of coconut oil or sesame oil and leave in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes to draw out the impurities in your body).
In the shower I keep…
Goat milk soaps (sold on The Local Rose Shop), sesame oil, and Komenuka Bijin
shampoo.
Once a month I…
Not sure I can tell you, its very witchy.
After a long-night or rough weekend…
I take a hot bath with sea salt; drink tea and lots of water with chlorophyll.
On little sleep I rely on…
Bee-pollen pellets, Zen and Bunni raw chocolates – we made a rose bar together that is divine – green juice (minus the kale), and vitamin B.
The product that changed my skin…
My Rose Serum Oil.
Most treasured beauty tip…
A spoonful of ghee in the morning, laughter, olive oil and avocado.
For glowing skin…
Exfoliate, sleep, coconut oil, and sea-buckthorn oil orally.
My go-to DIY:
Manuka honey and oatmeal as a face mask. Homemade rose water to spray on the face to tone the skin and open the heart chakras.
