Dear Whimsy Customers,

As I sit down to write this, I find myself at a loss for words. These are words that aren’t easy, but sadly have become necessary to share. After nearly a decade of growth, challenges, and joy, Whimsy + Wellness will be closing.

I have tried to be as open and honest with you all about our struggles, and a year and half ago even asked for your help in getting us through. Which you DID. We were only able to stay open the last year and a half because of the help you gave us at that time, and we are so grateful we got to keep our team a bit longer.

I never thought I would own my own business. I never thought I would grow it to over a million dollars in sales in a year. I never thought I would create my own products and have people love them to the point they would sell out in minutes. I never thought I would get to hire the best humans to work alongside me. I never thought I would have the kindest customers, cheering us on every step of the way, excited for things as if it were their own business. I never thought I would have my husband work alongside me while our babies crawled around us. And I am so lucky.

You have been with us every step of the way, celebrating our successes as if they were your own. Your support, especially during the past year and a half, has meant more than words can express. It was your encouragement that kept us going, allowing us to continue a little longer. But despite trying everything, despite the sleepless nights and endless days of brainstorming, planning, and creating—the sales continued to decline.

The decision to close wasn’t made lightly. It’s something I’ve known in my heart for months, but saying it out loud, telling our team, and now telling you, is both surreal and heart-wrenching. Starting today, everything is 30% off as we begin to clear out the shop. We don’t have a final closing date at this time, but expect it to be near the end of the year.

This isn’t just the end of a business; it’s the celebration of a dream that we made together. And for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you for creating this community alongside me.

Cheers, Haylee 🩷

Closing FAQs

Everything is on clearance at an additional 30% off on the site, and will stay that way until we do another round of discounts. We aren’t sure when that next round will be, likely around early December, but possibly sooner.

Since we are already offering 30% off all of our products, discount codes can no longer be used.

Yes! Please email us at hello@whimsyandwellness.com for orders over $700 to see what we can do to help! If you want to take a huge part of our inventory ($5k+) for yourself or shop, we would love to chat with you on some amazing discounts!

All sales are final and we are not able to accept returns starting today, October 25, 2024.

We will not be offering free shipping during our final clearance sale. Our average order costs $10 to ship, and with the clearance pricing we are offering, we aren’t able to cover it anymore. We will be offering flat rate US shipping at $7.99 for orders under 1 pound, and $11.99 for orders over 1 pound. Thank you so much for understanding!

Yes, we have one final launch planned for November 1st at 10:00 AM PDT. This is our very last holiday launch ever, and is the last of our crystals we purchased in Tucson earlier this year. The launch will be brand new crystals AND will be 30% off when they launch.

We are hoping to close by the end of the year, but we need to ensure our inventory is cleared out first - so it’s possible we go into January! Once we have a date, we will let you know by email.

You can use them up until we close our shop. Please use them ASAP as we aren’t sure when our final day open will be yet. If you don't know your Whimsy cash code please email us at hello@whimsyandwellness.com so we can help you!

We will have the final box on November 1st! It’s one you won’t want to miss, so if you’re already subscribed, you’ll be getting it!

Thank you so much for being an affiliate with us! You can use your link/code through November 13th to earn commissions. After this date, our affiliate program will end and we will no longer be paying commissions on any sales that come through your links. We appreciate you helping spread the word about our closing and clearing out our inventory.

Yes! As of now, I plan to still share on Instagram, and in a new newsletter that was similar to the on a whim series we did earlier this year.

Sleep. haha jk. Russ will be looking for work, and I hope to continue sharing on Instagram. I am honestly very torn on what path to take next, but for now I’m looking forward to going slow and being present for my family as I explore what feels right!

Choosing Your Crystals

You’re probably already familiar with the amazing things oils can do! Many people believe in the healing energies of crystals. Humans are made up of energies that are constantly changing based on our moods, behaviors, and even our surroundings. Crystals also give off energy, but because of their crystalline structure, their energy is constant. It doesn't change like ours. Because of this, they can help us rebalance our own energies. If you are unsure of crystals- I like to say that if just looking at the crystals makes you smile because they are beautiful, then they are working! We have a blog post all about pairing crystals and oils, here!

Many believe you'll be drawn to the crystal your body needs simply by looking at or holding the crystal. The crystal you feel most attracted to is the crystal you need. A quick Google search on that stone will bring up the energy it holds, along with its specific benefits, or, use our Crystals for Beginners Guide! You can also work backward by researching crystals first and then choosing one that best matches your "symptoms." If I were struggling with worry or fear, for example, I might look for an amazonite crystal. If I wanted to increase focus and concentration, I might set a ruby in my office where I work most often.

I hand choose 95% of the crystals we use in person at gem and mineral shows around the United States. I believe it is so important to see them in person, to talk with the people that visit the mines directly, and to hear the stories behind the crystals. This allows me to choose only high-quality crystals and to support the miners directly.

Crystals can be used for so many things, like relieving stress, helping you sleep better at night, improving self-esteem, helping you forgive, or helping you focus. Any trouble you’re having, there’s a crystal for that! You can hold them while meditating or praying, place them where you’ll see them most often, carry them in your pocket, wear them, combine them with your essential oils, or place them under your pillow at night. There’s no right or wrong way to use them! Check out our "Crystals for Beginners Guide” to learn more about crystals and how to use them in your life.

As crystals are busy helping you heal, they’ll eventually need a little maintenance themselves.

There are several ways to cleanse your crystals. You’ll want to do this when you first get your crystals (particularly if they’re not from a reputable source), but you can also do these things anytime you feel their power dimming.

+ The moon & sun (set your crystals out all night during a full moon, or even all day in the direct sun)

+ Smoke cleansing or energy cleansing (you can cleanse your crystals the same way you’d cleanse your space)

+ Selenite (selenite is a cleansing crystal; placing your crystals on or near selenite to cleanse them)

+ The earth (return your crystals to the earth by burying them for a night; in the morning, they’ll be fully charged and ready to go) Read more about cleansing and charging your crystal beauties here!

Nope! Haylee, our owner, has had crystals that she has reused in her bottles for 5 years now!

Choosing Your Roller Bottles

Our rollers are made by an amazing manufacturer in China. We have worked with this same manufacturer for over 3 years which allows us to have a great relationship and ensure the high quality we expect. We hand check every single bottle, cap, gem top, and more for any defects before we pack them into sets for you!

The actual roller ball itself is either made from glass (I know it looks like plastic, but I promise it’s glass! And they are amazing!) or from a genuine gemstone. Choosing a gemstone top instead of glass is a personal preference. Gemstone roller tops are a great way to get the benefits of using a gemstone alongside your oils! They are also really pretty. 💁🏻‍♀️ And remember, if the beauty of the gemstone makes you smile when you use it, isn’t it worth it?

Yes! You can use our glass roller tops and gemstone roller tops on any of our 5ml or 10ml rollers!

Yes!

We offer 5ml and 10ml roller bottles.

Roller bottles are one of the easiest ways to tap into the many benefits of essential oils. Because essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts, it’s not always safe to apply the oils directly to your skin. That’s where roller bottles come in; they’re one of the gentlest ways to apply essential oils. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to your bottle, dilute with a carrier oil, and your roller is ready to go! We lay out step-by-step instructions on how to build your roller bottles here.
