Wellness Wednesday: Earth Week Edition!
Join us for a special Earth Week Edition of Wellness Wednesday!
April 18th from 11AM-6PM
Several of our LOCAL vendors will be here to discuss and sample their all-natural products. Buying local helps to support our local economy and reduces the use of fossil fuels for transport.
11-1:30 Saratoga Natural Skincare - 15% OFF Lovely Handmade Soaps, creams & balms.
2- 4:30 Rad Soap 20% Off line Local hemp and plant based Bodycare Line. Owner and founder Sue Kerber will be here to talk about how the company was started, it’s growth and all about Rad. It’s more than soap- it’s products with a purpose.
4:00-6 Happy Pits Our very own Sandy Pratt will be here discussing her wonderful botanical products. Happy Pits Deodorants and all natural powders will be 15% OFF!
Time TBD: Our very own Wellness Associate and local author Ruth Ann Smalley will be here and HAPPY to sign her books. Sheila Says We’re Weird (But We’re Just Green) is for young readers about recycling, taking care of the earth and spreading the word to unbelievers. Defender of Dirt is a children’s eco adventure novel that follows Rachel and Sam as they work to save the bees, stand up for worms and put an end to the big chicken controversy.
We'll be featuring seasonal Underground Alchemy products. Rebecca Hein, the herbalist behind these well-loved elixirs, salves, and tinctures, will not be available, though you can find her most other Wednesdays in our Wellness Department. Find a $2.00 off coupon for her products in the current Edible Capital District.
Wellness Wednesday Discounts are good all day long on Wednesday, the 18th.
