Hi, I have exciting news!
I'm now able to offer a completely free membership tier on the Twinkle Apothecary Patreon page, so you're all welcome to join!
Free members have access to all of my audio posts and are invited to participate in a monthly "ask me anything" Q&A session.
(Plus whatever other free content I come up with to share in the future, of course!)
I'm so happy to be able to open up my Patreon to everyone, because I have so much to share with you, and I've thought about it... I've tried... but I can't.
I can't go back to Instagram.
I've been off of social media for about 6 months now, and I love it. I LOVE my freedom and I LOVE living my life without scrolling through ads, weird algorithms that think I care about the most annoying, random stuff that I don't care about at all, and toxic ego-centered tech bro cage fight energy. (Gross gross gross!)
I mean, what, am I supposed to live through another Trump election, online?
No thank you.
I've read like, 10? (15?) books since I quit scrolling. I've started meditating again. (Twice a day!) I do yoga for 30 minutes every day instead of a quick 10-15. I am back to working on writing my own book. I rebranded my business. I've got multiple new perfumes in the works. I have a LIFE again, y'all. One that I'm very excited about, especially because I'm not comparing it to anyone else's.
Now, I'm not saying that you also have to dislike Instagram, but I am definitely, 1000% saying that I shouldn't have to run my beautiful little business the same way that everyone else does.
Because, ew, when have I EVER done anything the same way anyone else does?
So, I hereby officially invite you to connect with me in a place where I actually LOVE to be - my Patreon community!
Stefanie Speaks Twinkle
Over the coming weeks, you'll notice that I'm adding links to audio posts in all of my product pages. I'm calling this new free audio post series: Stefanie Speaks Twinkle, because I'm going to talk you through all of the product details and add as much additional information about each product - the inspiration behind it, the ingredients, how to use it - as I can think of!
It's kind of like a very simple (low budget) podcast, where I'm just talking all about my very favorite things. (Yes, I'm extremely late to this game, I know!) It's also kind of like the Instagram IGTV videos I used to make during the pandemic, except I've discovered that audio is so much easier - I don't have to worry about the lighting, or where to prop up my phone, or keeping the posts under 10 minutes, or what some random anonymous reddit user thinks about how my hair looks - but most importantly it's on a platform that actually cares about the mental health and success of its content creators. It's not about being "on" or being in your face 24/7. It's simply another way to share about what I love with as many people as possible.
To listen, all you have to do is click the link and sign up for a free Patreon membership. No strings attached. I think you'll get an email or a notification on the Patreon app when I make a new post, but you can always turn those off if it's too much.
I've already posted about my acne spot treatment and amber layering fragrance, so check those posts out and let me know what you think!
If you have questions about those products (or anything at all!) you can also join me during my monthly Q&A session and pick my brain.
The first one is happening right now, so head on over and send me your questions.
I hope to see you there!
Stefanie
