Expansion Update

The renovations are coming along as you can see by the photo.  By the time you read this the window will have been installed and they will begin working on the interior. 

In the meantime I have been very busy making many of the products that will be available in the store.  I have also been researching regionally-made products by other artisans to carry in the shop such as soaps, hair care and much more.  The new labels have been designed and are at the printers.  I look forward to bringing you a beautiful store where you can purchase all your personal care products knowing they are safe for you and your family. 

To accomplish everything, I have been encouraged by other small business owners to try a new type of fund-raising and friend-raising by creating a crowdfunding campaign.

Please take the time to watch the video, to read the info on the page, and to share it with your friends and anyone who might be interested too. I appreciate whatever you can do to help me get ReNew Botanicals up and running.

A VERY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT


 
I am very excited to announce that sometime in early June, ReNew Organic Skin Care will become RENEW BOTANICALS  Skin Care Studio and Wellness Boutique .  But that is not all, I will be moving to Hamilton.  The Hamilton Lauraville Mainstreet Association has acquired the old firehouse on Hamilton Avenue to help businesses get started.  Get started, you may ask?  But you are already a business.  Yes, for many years I have been providing you with my organic vegan skin care treatments and products by appointment only.  Also during this time I have been making my products in my home which has been a challenge.  The new business will be a retail store in addition to my treatment room and now I will be able to have my workshop under the same roof.  With a retail location, open 5 days a week, you will be able  purchase your products when ever it is convenient for you, no longer having to make an appointment.   As many of you know I have been wanting to expand my line to include more therapeutic products such as my aromatherapy blends, healing salves, teas and more but this has not been feasible given the limited space and limited public access.  Now I will be able to.  I will continue to offer customized handcrafted skin care products and will also offer a line a ready made handcrafted skin care products for adults and my baby line Baby Botanicals.  Besides my products I plan on carrying handcrafted products made by other local artisans( from the region) such as soaps, body butters, hair care and more.  In the future I hope to have classes and lectures and bring specialists in such as massage therapist, acupuncturists, Ayurveda practitioners and much more .   As part of this new name and move I will be giving my logo and website a fresh new look to better represent ReNew Botanicals  (below is a preview of my new logo design).  Rest assured I will be offering the same treatments you have been getting and I will be adding a few new ones.   And guess what?  There is free parking close by.
