Dear Wyse Friends;
I hope everyone's 2026 is starting off great! 2025 was such an amazing year for Wysdohm. I can't possibly explain in words the level of gratitude Kathe, Dillon and I have for all of you who supported the Wysdohm Eco-Boutique in its first full year. I could not have imagined this level of support. I thank you all, both the locals who come in almost weekly and those who live in Chicago, Florida, Arizona, and every state in between who comes in when in town visiting. Connecting and getting to know all of you is truly what made 2025 so meaningful and joyful for us.
2026 is going to be even more amazing. We have a lot of things in the works. I'm still doing my research and adding great wellness products to the Mana Mixology section of the store. We just added zero-proof alcohol alternatives for those doing dry January and for those of us who just love a great wellness mocktail. We have Vodka, Gin, Spiced Rum, Tequila, and Whiskey wellness alternatives that pair well with our cocktail/mocktail mixers. It's a great time of year for a wellness Hot Toddy.
We're adding new gourmet and clean foods to our selection almost every day. Given that I have a granddaughter who is gluten-free, I've added multiple gluten free options, including GF sour dough starter, banana flour, and cacao flour. I can't wait to try out making pancakes with the banana flour, which is also keto friendly. We've got you and your family covered for cold & flu season with a wide selection of natural products. The bio-hacking bro influencers on social media all tout the benefits of natural sea salts with minerals in their water. We have a wonderful selection of European sea salts with additional spices and wellness herbs. I've added to my bio-hacking stack. We just got in molecular hydrogen tablets and I tried it for the first time yesterday. I noticed a difference in energy levels (off the charts). We just added some great collagen and colostrum powders to add to your morning smoothies.
Anika and I are also working on the website. I wanted to give the team a year to get our sea-legs before introducing an online component. Our plan is to have all of the Wysdohm Eco-Boutique products available for online pick-up and shipping by early February. As promised to many of you, I'm still working on finding the right compostable refill containers for the Refillery products to be shipped. In the meantime, if there is something you would like shipped to you, feel free to call the store and do an order over the phone. Kathe and E would be happy to talk you through all the products we have and which ones might work best for you. Now's a great time to talk by phone during the slower, post-holiday, cold-weather season.
So many of you have asked about us doing classes. In this day and age, everyone's schedules are so busy and it is hard to find a time when all who would like to attend a class can make it into the store in person. So I'm currently working with someone in creating online classes that you can watch at your leisure. Stay tune for classes about crystals and minerals, their metaphysical and healing energy properties, medicinal uses for certain herbs, plants, and nature's gifts, the magical benefits of castor oil, clean skin care and the benefits of certain natural ingredients, and what to look out for when shopping for cleaner non-toxic products.
We're also starting this Saturday our monthly "Swap out Saturday." Switching to non-toxic, cleaner products for the home, self, and skin can be a daunting and costly task. We're here to help. What I encourage people who are trying to live a cleaner, healthier lifestyle is to do it gradually. It is a process. Look each month at what you are running low on and make a mindful decision to swap it out for a cleaner product that is better for us and Mother Earth. If you do just one product per month, by the end of the year you have swapped out 12 products, which is a pretty impressive, but reasonable accomplishment. To aid in this, the third Saturday of each month is "Swap Out Saturday" at Wysdohm Eco-Boutique. You will receive 10% off a new purchase of Refillery products with the glass refillable bottle. It is a great time to swap out what you are running low on that month. We are also offering a punch card for refills as "thanks" to all of our loyal customers that have swapped out many products in their home and come in for refills regularly. For every 10 refills, you will receive a free refill of a 16 oz bottle or smaller.
I look forward to seeing all of you soon, and I hope you all are doing well.
Love & Light, Tricia
