As much as I’d love to be your go-to girl for everything, even I have my limits!
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that nobody has to do everything alone. There are wonderful people, businesses, and products out there, and I enjoy sharing the ones I’ve come to know and trust.
Below are some of my personal recommendations. Some are companies I work with professionally, while others are businesses and people I’ve had positive experiences with.
I hope you find something helpful!
Skin Care and Makeup
Mary Kay
I’ve been a Mary Kay consultant for years, and I genuinely love the products. For me, it’s always been about skincare first and makeup second. Although, let’s face it, we all love a great lip!
I am a Mary Kay consultant and earn a commission when you purchase products through my link. I want you to know about that relationship upfront.
If you’d like to learn how to save money on the products you love, let’s have a conversation. I’d be happy to show you some options.
Mary Kay also offers a satisfaction guarantee, subject to its terms and conditions. Please ask if you have questions.
Essential Oils
doTERRA
I started using doTERRA essential oils several years ago because I wanted to create my own home and personal fragrances.
I’ve always preferred the scents of essential oils to many artificial fragrances, and exploring different oils and blends has become something I genuinely enjoy.
As I’ve learned more about the products, I’ve developed an appreciation for the company’s selection of oils, including those specifically labeled for culinary use.
I’m a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, which means I earn a commission on purchases made through my link. I want you to know about that relationship upfront.
If you find products you love, let’s talk! I’d be happy to help you explore ways to save money and get the most out of your purchases.
Apothecary
Moon Bees LLC
Moon Bees is so much more than a traditional apothecary. You really need to explore the store to appreciate everything they have!
Beryl and her team have assembled one of the largest collections of herbs I’ve ever seen. Honestly, I have a hard time thinking of anything they might be missing!
They also carry brewing and winemaking supplies, crystals, divination tools, and all sorts of other interesting things.
It’s a wonderful place to wander, explore, and discover something new.
And if you can’t visit in person, they have an online shop, too!
Spirituality
Soul and Synergy Reiki
Soul and Synergy is owned by Terry Flick, a Reiki Master and psychic medium.
I’ve personally experienced Terry’s Reiki sessions and found them calming, soothing, and deeply spiritual.
I haven’t had a mediumship reading with Terry, so I can’t speak from personal experience about that particular service. But I can tell you that my Reiki experience was a positive one.
Terry’s husband, Danny, also offers tarot readings.
And keep an eye out for their events! Soul and Synergy hosts psychic fairs, wellness expos, and paranormal expos.
Fairs and Events
Rooted Holistic Health and Wellness Fairs
Rooted Holistic is owned and operated by the Pocernich family.
They bring together a wonderful variety of holistic wellness products, services, and vendors through events across Wisconsin and into Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan.
If you enjoy discovering new businesses, meeting practitioners, and exploring different approaches to wellness, their events are worth checking out.
Visit their website to find an upcoming show near you.
You can also visit my Connect page for information about events where you may find Erato’s Enlightenment.
Wedding Vendors
Planning a wedding involves a lot of moving pieces, and having people you can count on makes a difference.
Here are a couple of people whose work I personally know and recommend.
DJs — DJ Rod
If you’re looking for great musical entertainment, DJ Rod is fantastic!
And in the interest of full transparency, he’s also my fiancé.
That being said, I’ve seen the care he puts into creating a great experience for the people attending an event.
He talks with guests to learn what they’d enjoy hearing and dancing to, while also working with you to make sure the songs that matter most to you are included in your celebration.
Bakers — Endless Paschabilities
Kristan Pasch of Endless Paschabilities is an amazing baker!
I’ve hired her for several events, and I’ve been delighted with her baked goods. Her specialty is cupcakes, and the flavors and varieties she creates are wonderful.
If you’re planning an event and want something delicious, she’s definitely someone I’d recommend contacting.

A Final Thought
These are businesses, products, and people I’ve chosen to share because of my own experiences and relationships with them.
As I discover more wonderful people and places, I’ll continue adding to this page.
After all, supporting one another and sharing the good things we discover is part of what makes life interesting!
