The start of 2025 marks the middle of our second year in business and we are using new year milestone to recommit to the core values that created our store concept. Standing by our core values may mean we cannot carry every product that comes on the market, and in some cases sticking to these priorities may come with some added cost, but we believe in our overall model and want to keep our focus on reducing single use plastics in all possible ways. We hope you agree, and we look forward to a year of more refills and less plastics!
NEW Featured Products
We have some cool new products in the store for 2025. Check them out and see what the hype is all about!
