🍃 The Healthy Otter 🦦 Vendor Spotlight!

Meet Donna Hale!!

Hello, I'm Donna Hale
A retired bookkeeper, originally from the Brainerd Lakes area. I have called Ottertail "home" for over 15 years. Have always been busy with some sort of crafting or sewing projects.

What started out as a maybe once a month get together with gals from work turned into a past time for me. I've been making greeting cards for family & friends since the 80s. So for awhile. I'm enjoying the special orders that are now also on my list.

Pretty excited & nervous to have my cards selling in the Healthy Otter. Seasonal cards will be available. So many ideas! "Hello from Ottertail " (with the Otter) cards are so fun!

Summertime keeps me busy with my flower gardens, garage sales, thrifting, estate sales & antique stores. Of course, they all involve road trips!

Wintertime is mostly crafting, baking catching up on projects & reading.

I have recently adopted a rescue kitty named Dexter. He's had a big adjustment but doing amazing.
FYI: All my cards are First Class mailing friendly. They do not require extra postage or "Hand Stamp".

Thank you Krista for letting me be part of your new adventure.

Welcome Donna! We are excited to have you! 🤩

Meet Lisa with Aunties Hobbies!!

Hi, I’m Lisa Alberts married to my husband of 31 years Brian. I have 3 fur babies all spoiled girls. They are our helpers for the sheep we raise. My husband and I enjoy the outdoors and find time all year round to take the girls out hiking on our farm. I enjoy baking and creating.

After 30 years of doing hair (17 years owning and running a salon). Due to health issues I have chosen to retire but needed a new way to express my creative side. So I started crafting the funky finds I have been collecting.

I love digging into an old building that someone just wants the (junk) cleaned out. Or a barn my husband is going to take down with his excavating business. I love to rescue things that are going to be destroyed or thrown out.

Some some days I feel like baking so I started making sourdough bread muffins and
cookies. I learned baking from my grandma and love to share all the yummy things with family.

I also have a green thumb starts in my greenhouse early in The spring. Then flowers everywhere in my yard and a huge garden. I also do canning for my home and my extended family.

Bringing all of the things I enjoy together Aunties Hobbies is my new creative outlet. I have started doing a few markets some pop up ones by my home and clients that call to order goodies so they don’t have the work but get the home made scratch goodies.

The Healthy Otter is a great outlet to sell my creative items.

Welcome Lisa! ❤️ We are so happy to have you!!

Why do we need Omega-3s? 🐟💙
Omega-3 fatty acids—especially EPA and DHA—are important nutrients that support many areas of the body, including brain health, heart health, immune function, and healthy vision. They’re also especially important during childhood and the teen years when the brain and body are still developing.
Since our bodies don't make enough omega-3s on their own, getting them through foods like fatty fish—or a quality supplement—can help fill nutritional gaps. Nordic Naturals offers omega-3 options designed for different ages, including formulas for children and teens.

Looking for a quality omega-3 for yourself or your family? Nordic Naturals vitamins and supplements are available at The Healthy Otter!
Stop in and find the omega-3 that's right for you. 💚

A TIMELESS FAVORITE FOR A REASON. ✨

Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years. Known as one of the gifts brought to Jesus by the Magi, frankincense has a long history of use in traditional wellness, spiritual practices and aromatic rituals.
Today, frankincense essential oil is loved for its warm, earthy, grounding aroma and its versatility in everyday self-care. 🌿

Why do people use frankincense oil?
✨ For relaxation — Add a few drops to a diffuser to create a peaceful, grounding atmosphere.
✨ For skincare — When properly diluted with a carrier oil, frankincense can be used as part of a skincare routine to help maintain a smooth, healthy-looking complexion.
✨ For massage — Diluted frankincense oil can be incorporated into a massage oil for soothing, relaxing self-care after a long day.
✨ For everyday wellness — Its rich, woodsy aroma makes it a wonderful addition to your aromatherapy routine.
How to use it:
For aromatherapy, add a few drops to your diffuser according to the diffuser's instructions. For use on the skin, always dilute essential oil with a carrier oil before applying.
