Honey Shine Calenduka

Honey Shine Calendula

I’m Danielle and I own and operate a local business called Danielle Rae Calendula Co which has a product called Honey Shine Calendula. Honey Shine calendula salve is an all over skincare made by myself. I began this business for my kids that have eczema and dry skin and struggled to find a healthy and clean option for them. I then created my first product the Calendula Salve that has only clean, homegrown and healthy ingredients. We make a wide variety of products from salves to body butter to lotion bar to lip balms, even sunscreens and serums.

Heather Alexis Photography

Heather Alexis Photography

I have been in love with documenting moments with photography since I was in elementary school. After leaving a corporate career when I became a Mom, my passion for taking photos of my daughter led me to starting my photography business in 2020. I feel it is so important to freeze life’s special moments in photos for us to enjoy on our walls now, but also for future generations to have when we are gone. There is truly no better gift than the gift of photos, especially for a Mama. I hope to capture sweet memories for you and your loved ones soon.

Andi Metzler Sleep Consulting

Sleep Is Not Just My Passion, It’s A Game-Changer I was once a VERY tired parent and had felt so exhausted over not getting my daughter (who I love) to sleep through the night. It felt like my every waking hour was dedicated to finding that magic technique or home remedy to get her to get a good night’s rest. My frustration turned into a career–finding the best sleep training method was a life-changer for me and it launched my career as a Certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant.
