Warning: side effects of shopping small may include… never shutting up about your favorite products that you use + also sell at your shop 😌✨

Current lineup of just some of the things I use at home:
💧 Magnesium Mist = goodbye sore everything
🧴 Tallow = skin softer than my sourdough starter
🍬 Sugar Scrub = shower glow-up
🍯 Hot Honey = pizza’s personality upgrade
🍞 Beeswax Wraps = sourdough’s best friend
🌼 Bee Pollen = tiny sprinkle, big energy

And the real star of the show…
Sticky pecan sourdough focaccia made with Mineral Sea Salt + Pecans from our neighbors at . WOW. Just… WOW. 🤤

Valentine’s Day with my favorite + listening to some good Minnesota music 💛 Thanks for an amazing evening. We all felt the love!

02/06/2026

The love I’ve witnessed over the last week has been incredible. I never could have imagined the doors that would open when I began creating these pins. The outpouring of support + love for our beautiful state is from everywhere! Literally everywhere! We have received orders from just about every state. Including Alaska! Washington, Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida, New York, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Colorado, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Ohio, Michigan, Idaho, and these are just orders being sent out today!

The amount of generosity, compassion, and willingness to stand up for others reminds us how powerful kindness is. Please know that your support matters more than we can put into words.

❤️ 100% of the proceeds from our pin sales are going directly to local families in need. Every pin represents care, solidarity, and real help reaching those who need it most. We have a list of families and organizations we’re supporting, and we’re always open to expanding it—if you have suggestions, we would love to hear them.

With every button order, you get an equal number of buttons for free – because MN Love is meant to be shared.

With love from Minnesota 💛
