What a doozy!

We had a great time at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Big thanks of course to Stardust for letting us take over your beautiful coffeeshop and holding a warm creative space for our community. Shanewillplaymusic and Makenna rocked our evening, we had so much fun dancing.

Most of all thanks to everyone wearing a crazy hat! Y'all were amazing!

Congrats to all who participated in some of our fun games. We'll be posting more through the week, but here is a quick wrap up:

Congratulations to Dani Stormes, the only participant to correctly guess the five herbal powders! They were:

1-Betonite Clay
2- Maca
3- Carob
4- Kava Kava
5- Ashwaganda

Congrats to runners-up with four correct guesses: Caitlin Battersby, Sam Bourne, and Lesley Greene.

Unfortunately, we really stumped y'all with our Guess the Essential Oil contest.

Congrats to Belinda and Jill who entered three correct guesses of our five oils.

The correct answers were:
1- Camphor
2- Clove
3- Pine Needle
4- Cinnamon
5- Eucalyptus

Hope to see you at the next Tea Party! Stay tuned for more pictures of the rowdy occasion.
