Starting to type “December” for the date at the beginning of this blog post is a good indication of how fast this season is going. We’re in the first winter of business in our downtown Whitefish location, and it’s been fun to see what people are looking for and continue scoping out new products for the store. (One of our favorite things about what we get to do is researching and curating wellness products from Bala Bangles to Body Oil to Parasite Detoxes–it’s all in a day’s work!) 

One brand we’ve carried for quite some time is Wonder Valley, a company that started out making olive oil, and turned that business into a self-care line that uses olive oil as one of the star ingredients. Their line includes face wash, olive-pit mud masks, shampoo & conditioner and more. Their face wash is one of Colette’s favorites, and we love the fact that their founder, Alison, gives our staff a personal training on their brand and products every year. Learn more about why we love their products, and check out our guide to an “Everything Shower” here.

If you mention “Everything shower” in-store, you can get 15% off any Wonder Valley products. Want double bang for your buck… literally? This Friday, February 28, we’re hosting our first ever “double points” day at the store! Shop anytime on Friday and you’ll earn double points on all of your purchases. We’ll also be serving up complimentary bevvies so grab a friend and come see us!

If you need a refresher on our loyalty program, here’s a quick overview:

• Member (spend $1+ in the calendar year) - 1 point for every dollar spent

• Enthusiast (spend $1,000+ in the calendar year) - 2 points for every dollar spent

• Guru (spend $3,000+ in the calendar year) - 3 points for every dollar spent

• For every 100 points you earn, you get $5 off your next purchase. On double points day, these add up quickly!

We’ve also been working diligently behind the scenes to get the Haskill Creek Wellness Bar & Cafe open this summer. We’ve been testing smoothie recipes, talking to our brand partners about recipe collaborations, and working with a local chef to create our menu, and we’re BEYOND excited to share what we’ve got cooking with you all very soon! 

Since the cafe’s not open yet–you’ll have to keep doing your own cooking for now. We’ve got some great cookbooks in the store that have our mouths watering and our wheels turning. If you’re looking for an easy super-food filled treat… we spotted these Kroma Spicy Passion Truffles in their newsletter and had to try them out for ourselves. They’re a breeze to make, are so delicious, and are even kid-approved. Get the recipe here. 

Finally, we’re onto our third book-club pick! Click here to find out what it is, and we hope you’ll join us at our next gathering!

Until next time…!
