Celebrating Local Women-Owned Small Businesses

Mar 1

EMPOWERED WOMEN EMPOWER WOMEN.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating all of the badass women that make this world go round!

March is a month-long celebration of the incredible achievements and contributions of women throughout history. From trailblazers to modern-day icons, women have been breaking barriers and making history for centuries!

So with that, I am taking a moment to highlight some of my favorite Twin Cities small businesses that are run by powerhouse women. They each bring an individuality that helps brighten our little neck of the world and should be shared with others! Do your part in helping support women-owned businesses in your community. After all, we are strongest when we cheer each other on!

THE VINE ROOM

Ali Hanson may be the owner of The Vine Room, but “culture curator” is the descriptor she came up with to encompass what she wants to accomplish in the role. “For me, creating this business was about creating this space before anything. I really wanted to create a space for people to gather to enjoy wine, to learn about wine, but really to enjoy the company that they’re here with as well,” she says.

BRENMARKE

Brenmarke is a fashion retailer that specializes in women’s contemporary clothing and accessories. Their dream is to help you feel good, so YOU have the confidence to follow your dreams!

STAY GOLDEN

Permanent jewelry for the Twin Cities and surrounding areas! Permanent jewelry is a custom fit claspless bracelet, anklet, or necklace that is cut and welded back together for a forever perfect fit! Stay Golden offers private parties and the option to host pop-up events!

GLOW LOUNGE

When The Glow Lounge came to life, it was their mission to give their guests an amazing, natural-looking tan plus an elevated tanning experience. They accomplish this by using the best products and equipment available and treating every client with great care!

It's not just a spray tan to them. 10 years, 3 stores, and thousands of confident clients later, it is so much more than that! What keeps them going is their commitment to consistently delivering an amazing tanning experience that enhances your self-confidence.

JEWELWEED

Jewelweed has curated a collection of high quality, small bath, often surprising goods that support the interconnected health of the plant and people! Their offerings include herbal remedies, flower essences, aromatherapy, crystals, jewelry, green beauty products, hand-poured candles, incense, favorite books, tea and drinking cacao, stand-apart gifts, and so much more. With an emphasis on goods sourced from small alchemists, makers, and artisans, we especially love to feature items from our local community.

ASHLEY LOUIS DESIGN

Ashley works her magic on all of my team’s listings at McFadyen & Co.! She provides vacant home staging packages, personal home styling and interior design services. Whether you’re an agent, investor or homeowner - she has the style for whatever stage you’re in!

SARA SCHULTZ

Branding & web educator, creative director, and ALWAYS your biggest cheerleader! From designing jaw dropping brands to coaching female entrepreneurs and hosting a podcast, Sara is all about getting your dreamy clients to become completely and totally obsessed with your brand. I have been lucky enough to collaborate with Sara on so many different creative projects for my brands over the years! Be sure to follow along on my Instagram to see her incredible work in action.

HAUS OF ROWE INTERIORS

Marcelle and Kate created Haus of Rowe because they wanted to reinvent what an interior design experience should feel like. They are inspired by individual personalities, by the unseen potential with the ability to customize each project to your needs and wants without constraints. Their intention is to tell your story! They strive to be the most authentic, transparent, and flexible design team you will ever work with.

I strongly encourage you to use this month as an opportunity to amplify the voices of women, support women-owned businesses and organizations, and continue to push for a more inclusive and just world for all!

Here’s to women supporting women!
