R&ARIE

Paraphrasing what John A. Powell said today.

Until it's a tomb, it's a womb.

That's what my time in Oakland at the conference has been.

A time of incubation surrounded by inclusive community.

Yee!! Finally we can meet! Come see me in August all 3 days. I will be making all of your faves, customizing oils on site and will have fill your own gift boxes with products from our collaborators!

What scents or products would you like to see us carry at the market?

I really hope to see you there!

Equitable Giving Circle is seeking in-kind donations to fill their Black History Boxes this week! Each box purchased continues their community work, and go towards feeding our neighbors in need. They are hoping to create 250 boxes total! Can you help them meet their goal?

We at R&ARIE also want to do something special and create spa goods to donate! However, as a small business with a limited budget we need help with supplies. We are seeking the following donations by 2/17/21:

• Essential oils
• Organic Sugar
• Carrier Oils like Jojoba, olive, apricot, almond, grapeseed, etc.
• Wellness products
• T-shirt printing and t-shirts
• Unopened containers
• Organic Skincare Ingredients

Bulk donations can be dropped off at Reina Cafe (4943 NE MLK Blvd). If you have ingredients for R&ARIE to use for skincare/wellness products please DM us directly and we can arrange a pickup/drop off.

We are so excited to get these products out into the community, and continue to support in all of their incredible work!

Have you been loving the snow as much as we have? While the winter wonderland can be fun, it can also be incredibly dangerous for folks without shelter. Please consider donating supplies/money/time to our houseless neighbors! MAAP (Mutual Aid Alliance Portland) is currently seeking donations! With the current storm, our neighbors are in direct need of aid. $30 will get someone a pair of shoes! If monetary donations aren't an option, is also accepting clothing in new condition, as well as time and energy! Boost social media posts, volunteer to distribute, or volunteer to drive! There are so many options when it comes to mutual aid. Community care is love, community care is self-care. Always.
