Mental Health is my reason. Bumblebee Lotus started as a way to work through my own healing. After struggling with my mental health for years, I needed something that gave me purpose—something that reminded me I could still grow, even from the mess. The name comes from that idea: the bumblebee, small but relentless… and the lotus, blooming from the mud. I’ve been lucky to have support from my family, especially my husband, my mom, and my kids. But losing my dad in January lit a fire in me I didn’t expect. He was so proud of what I was building, and I carry that with me every day. The scribble bee in my logo is a little tribute to him, inspired by the scribble dog he used to draw. This isn’t just about crystals, sage, or dream catchers—it’s about finding light, honoring the hard stuff, and turning pain into something that might help someone else heal too. I’m always learning, growing, and adding new things to Bumblebee Lotus, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. Thank you so much for all of your love and support! It truly means the world to me! Xoxo,
Amy

Wyd this weekend?
I’ll be at Hawkeye Downs for Made in Iowa Winter Market from 9-3 today and 10-3 tomorrow!!

I didn't talk to ANYONE yesterday or today really... even the hubby and kids got minimal effort and I kept to myself. I truly didn't even have the energy to answer texts or calls from people I love. I didn't want to fake it when I didn't even know what was wrong. I was exhausted, but that wasn't why. Just felt "off."

I got a message last night asking if I can confirm if I am coming to an event that I wanted into but forgot to register for. I replied and told her what happened...
and I GOT IN. *HALLELUJAH!*

I was so bummed out when I had blown it before and was honestly going to go support my vendor friends anyway, but now I get to officially say that I will be joining the lineup for The Made With Love Market at Kingston’s Steakhouse and Event Venue on Thursday, Feb 5 from 4-730pm! ❤

The updated calendar looks so much better now too! 😅 There will be plenty of chances to catch me this month, but as always don't hesitate to message me if you are looking for something specific or would like to have a custom crystal and sage smudge kit created for you or someone you care about!

Now, back to work I go! (I swear you will see why I've been ghost mode very soon!)

I’m doing the Made in Iowa Winter Market this weekend and I’m excited because this show always pulls out the good stuff. Valentine gifts, self care goodies, and tiny dopamine purchases that make your brain feel less crispy.

I’ll be in the North Hall at booth 126 if you want to come vibe, chat, or impulse buy something cute. Five bucks at the door, kids 12 and under are free.

Saturday 9 to 3
Sunday 10 to 4

Pull up, say hi, and let’s pretend shopping counts as mental health support which honestly it kinda does. 😅

01/28/2026

I just spent a solid 6 hours designing labels for new things I’ve made… and now I get to print them for the next 20 min! Yaaaay…

All I keep hearing in my head is
“I’m tired of this grandpa…”
“THAT’S TOO DAMN BAD!!” 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Let’s see if I can fall asleep before 4am tonight! 🙃

01/27/2026

Sooo... due to subzero temps this weekend in Iowa... my sparkly crystals and I are keeping our cute little butts at home where it's warm and things won't be tempted to shatter. After listening to my gut and cancelling my events for this weekend, I already have a massive business to do list that will most likely take me all weekend to complete!! 😅 Whaaaat? Go figure.

You know what that means?? NEW THINGS LAUNCHING SOON! 👀

If you're out braving the cold today, stop by and see my friends at Culver's Garden Center & Greenhouse from 11-2, and NewBo City Market from 10-4!

I am at 875 followers on Facebook. 👀

Last June I was trying to get 160.

I’m doing a giveaway when I hit 1000. How soon that happens depends on you guys!

This will ONLY be for Facebook since this is where my people are showing up. 🗣️

That’s all. 💛

Tomorrow is going to be hard. Idk if that word even covers it. Today has been hard. I haven’t answered emails, texts or calls… I managed to respond to one comment before I said nope, not today.

I don’t know how to do life without my dad. He still is one of my most favorite humans. I’ve been winging it for an entire year now and honestly have been distracting myself from the reality that he’s gone. For awhile I was able to pretend he’s not gone… and now the reality is starting to set in. I have wanted to tell him SO many things and haven’t been able to. I need one of his hugs SO BADLY and I don’t have that ability anymore. It’s a level of sadness I didn’t know existed and it’s scary sometimes. My heart physically hurts, and I don’t want to pretend I’m good when I’m not. I miss my dad more and more every single day. Simply thinking about waking up tmrw makes me have anxiety and wish I had a fast forward button.

I cannot promise to be available tonight or tomorrow. By Wednesday I am going to get back to it but right now I need to pause and take care of my head. Orders will be filled as soon as I can. I understand the inconvenience but I am not operating at full capacity (or even half) currently so it’s important that I take the time to grieve and not just plow thru sadness like it’s gonna go away.

Sending love to all of you and asking for prayers tmrw for myself and my family... especially my mom. 💔❤️‍🩹

Thank you as always for your support. It’s been more helpful than I can explain.

On today’s episode of “Things I Meant to Post but Didn’t Yet”…

My favorite smudge kit I have ever made and haven’t showed anyone. I set the intention for what I want to build and go off what draws my attention first and what feels right with what I already grabbed. Afterward I’ll look up meanings of the ones I am not 100% sure about and most of the time they line up with what I was already building toward.

In December I put together a custom kit for someone who said price didn’t matter, preferences didn’t matter, and that he wanted me to trust my intuition completely. “No sneak peeks. Just surprise me.” I built it with grounded energy and cooler tones: teal, blues, grays, whites, and a bit of dried citrus to keep it interesting. Masculine without needing a “for men” sticker.

I don’t believe in forcing combinations because a book says they belong together. I believe the bundle or item you are drawn to is usually the one you are meant to have whether you can explain it or not. If I don’t know something I will tell you I don’t know and go find out instead of lying to you.

It was seriously so fun to make and I can’t wait to do another big one like it. The item in the bubble wrap is a Calm TF Down healing jar and the whole kit totaled $103.

Thanks for hanging with me on this lovely Monday episode of “Things I Meant to Post but Didn’t Yet.” Consider this Part 2. Part 3 is already trapped in my camera roll waiting for rescue.
