UPDATED MARCH 24, 2020
With the Executive Order that took place today, the following changes are now in effect.
​​

• I will be open the week of March 25-28 from 10:00am-11:00am with curbside pickup only.  My front door will remain locked and no customers will be able to enter.  Shop here online and receive 20% off your entire order* by using promo code supportlocal at checkout.  Choose the Pickup option or flat rate shipping of $7.  *20% off expires Saturday March 28 at 11:00am.
• Due to the EO that took place today, my help that was supposed to be at the store next week can no longer be here.  I apologize that Serendipite will be closing at 11:00am Saturday March 28 so I can travel to Grand Rapids to pack our house up for the move to Gladwin.  Reopening date is TBD, based on when my husband and I can get everything moved up here.  Should everything remain as it is now, reopening date will be no later than Wednesday April 8. 
• Should you place an order online between March 28 and April 7, please be aware your order will not ship out until April 8 at the earliest.
• There are two other sites you can shop with ease, while still supporting Serendipite's mission to provide cleaner products.  One is so.poofyorganics.com, where there is free shipping on all orders over $55.  Another is so.poofycbd.com where shipping is always free.  These two sites are not affected by Serendipite's temporary closure.
• I'm working on an exciting new option that will be implemented in April!  Make sure to sign up for emails to be in-the-know.
• If you have ANY questions about what might be best for you, please don't hesitate to call or text me on my cell phone, 517-614-1145.  Please note that I'll be out at our new house this week where there is not great reception.  If I don't answer your call or text right away, that is the reason.

​Thank you for continuing to support my small business during this time.  I appreciate you, and I know we will get through this together!

ser·en·dip·i·ty
1. an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident
2. good fortune; luck

​In June 2011 I was on the phone with our Great Pyrenees pup Macallan's 'Breeder Mommy', talking with her about an issue Macallan was having.  During the chat we started talking about a health issue I was starting to go through.  Kim is not only a responsible breeder of Great Pyrenees dogs, but she and her family are organic farmers.  She talked to me about gut health, eating organic, and gave me some sources to look into.  I will forever be grateful for what started as a purchase of a Great Pyrenees pup and turned into something that altered my life forever!

My conversation with Kim led to hours upon hours of research.  Wes, my husband, was a firefighter working 24 hour shifts at the time, so I had days where I would be on his computer and do nothing but research, barely stopping to make a meal for myself.  I often joke that I felt like the robot Number Five in the movie Short Circuit when he was pouring over books on a shelf repeating "NEED INFO, NEED INFO"......I NEEDED info!  (If you've never seen the movie, check it out!  It is a fun, quirky movie from the 80's).  I learned what we put ONTO our bodies is equally as important as what we put INTO them!  The more I researched the more I wanted to know.   I was still a 'consultant' with a company whose tagline was Pure, Beneficial, Safe.  I believed in the products I used on my body and sold to people who trusted my knowledge.  Due to being a consultant, I was able to get into the back end of the company's website and was seeing ingredients I'd learned were questionable.  I had been speaking an erroneous message to my customers.  I felt like I had been fooled, and I was mad!  I felt like I had been fooling people, and that made me feel even worse.  I mean, who likes to be fooled?  Not me, and I don't want others to be either.  And this is where serendipity came into my life (another great movie!).  But I'm not talking about the movie of course, I'm talking about the meaning of the word and how it was apropos to my circumstance.  My conversation with Kim, the health issue I was going through, my research, all led to my desirable discovery, which then became Serendipite Organiques!
​
I've not stopped learning and researching since then!  It is my mission to help people learn how to decipher ingredients, and provide products that are truly organic with none of the ingredients that are known to be harmful not just to our bodies but also our environment.  I'm here to help you in your quest to live a healthier life from the outside in!
