Let's fill our homes with earth magic while making sure our neighbors are cared for.

Can't wait to see you Saturday!

🎂 Birthday Party Recap: Community Love in Action 🎂
What a night! So many familiar faces and new friends gathered to celebrate five years with us. The treats—oh, the treats! Our community brought so many delicious bakes.

Our winners:

🍰Cakes: Alice's Pumpkin Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
🍪Cookies + Bars: Hannah's buttery Baklava
🍞Breads: Melanie of Root + Lore (https://www.hotplate.com/rootandlore) home bakery's sourdough bread

But here's the best part: Together we raised $577 to share between the Fattah family in Gaza and our Sudanese sisters!

Mohammed Fattah, 25, is the main support for his family of 23 members—now 24, because two months ago his brother Moad and sister-in-law Ahlam welcomed baby Ayla to the world. Moh expressed deep gratitude when we sent him $288.50, and the support has continued flowing (https://chuffed.org/project/120005-help-evacuate-mohammed-and-his-family) even after our party concluded.

Our community is love. You proved it again.

✨ From Celebration to Divination ✨
There's something magical about the way this community shows up—whether it's to celebrate milestones, support families across the world, or gather around tarot cards and tea leaves on a Friday night. Each gathering reminds us why we do this work.

This Friday, bring that same beautiful energy as we explore the mystical arts together. Whether you've been reading cards for years or you've never pulled a single card, there's space for you at this table.

Can't wait to see what the cards reveal and what wisdom flows through our collective practice.

See you Friday night!
The STRŌB Apothecary Team 🌿✨

💍 Hand-Forged Jewelry 💍
Beautiful new hand-forged rings from Artemisia Goldworks have joined our collection—each piece a wearable work of art.

🍵 Tea Restocks 🍵
Cacao Cinnamon Catalyst and Orange Blossom Oolong are back on our shelves just in time for autumn sipping.

🍂 Autumn Cleanse Guide: A Systematic Approach 🍂
Many of you have been asking about autumn cleansing protocols. We always recommend working through cleanses systemically—supporting your body's natural detox pathways in the order they actually process and eliminate.

Here's what that looks like:

Step 1: Triphala (2 weeks)
This Ayurvedic blend of three fruits gently cleanses the digestive tract and supports healthy elimination. Think of this as preparing the exit pathway—you want your bowels moving efficiently before releasing toxins from deeper tissues.

Step 2: Cacao Cinnamon Catalyst (2-3 weeks)
Once elimination pathways are clear, support your blood and liver with this warming blend. The liver processes toxins from the blood, but it needs a clear digestive system to send those processed toxins out of the body.

Step 3: Systematic Lymphatic (1-2 weeks)
Finally, support lymphatic drainage. Your lymphatic system collects cellular waste, but it needs both liver function and elimination pathways working well to successfully remove what it's gathering.

Why this order matters: Cleansing deeper systems before establishing good elimination is like trying to empty a bathtub with the drain clogged. Work with your body's natural flow for more effective, comfortable detoxification.

--> Get the Cleansing Bundle (https://www.strobapothecary.com/product/cleansing-support-bundle/LT7P32Z7A6DC3FWS5DZUH64U)

Or shop our supplements (https://www.strobapothecary.com/shop/supplements/169) section or stop by to discuss your specific cleansing goals and get personalized guidance!

🔮 Coming Soon: Insight Exploration Night | October 24th, 7-9pm 🔮
We're getting SO excited for this! Think slumber party vibes with divination tools—we'll have tons of different decks to explore, plenty of tea flowing, and a cozy atmosphere for giving each other readings, learning new spreads, and deepening your intuitive practice together. All levels welcome!
--> Register Here (https://ticketscandy.com/e/insight-exploration-night-tarot-oracle-astrology-pendulums-12387)

Whether you're celebrating with us tonight, swapping treasures tomorrow, or planning your autumn cleanse, we're here with guidance, quality products, and community support.

See you tonight!

Dear STRŌB Community,

This Friday night, we celebrate.

Five years ago, we opened our doors with hope, herbs, and a vision of what community care could look like. We didn't know if anyone would show up. We didn't know if we could make it work. We just knew we had to try.

🌿 Five Years of Building Dreams Together 🌿

Friday, October 17th | 6:30-9pm
STRŌB's 5th Birthday Celebration

Building a business rooted in care and accessibility, where community matters more than the bottom line --it takes everything. It takes late nights and early mornings. It takes belief when the bank account says otherwise. It takes support.

So much support.

The truth is, we didn't do this alone. We couldn't have. Every person who chose to spend their money here instead of Amazon. Every customer who told a friend. Every community member who showed up to an event, took a class, asked a question, trusted our guidance. You kept us alive when survival felt uncertain.

Three thousand connections over five years. That's three thousand moments of "I'm struggling with anxiety" or "my kid can't sleep" or "I want to learn about my ancestors' plant medicine." Three thousand times we got to say "we're here for that." Three thousand reasons we kept going.

Through heartbreak and triumph, loss and growth, uncertainty and revelation—you've been our constant. Supporting. Showing up. Believing with us that another way is possible.

💚 How We Celebrate 💚
When we asked ourselves how to mark this milestone, the answer felt obvious: we feast, and we make sure others can feast too.

Friday's Birthday Bake-Off is a fundraiser. 100% of ticket proceeds go directly to the 23-member Fattah family in Khan Yunis, Gaza (14 of them children), and to Women for Women International's Sudan Emergency Response Fund supporting our sisters with food, sanitary supplies, and gender-based violence recovery.

We'll taste incredible bakes. We'll vote for winners. We'll laugh and connect and feel grateful. And families thousands of miles away will eat because we gathered.

That's who we are. That's who you've helped us become.

Sliding scale tickets $5-50 (every dollar matters, choose what works) --> Join the Celebration (https://ticketscandy.com/e/5-year-birthday-bake-off-and-fundraiser-12385)

Still want to enter the bake-off? Disregard the application deadline! Please register by Thursday evening --> Baker Registration (https://www.strobapothecary.com/bake-off)

🔮 Saturday Bonus: Metaphysical Items Swap 🔮
October 18th | 12-3pm
The celebration continues! Bring crystals, tarot decks, altar items, or spiritual tools to trade with like-minded community members. Cleanse your items before bringing, then swap 1-7 pieces of intuitively equal value.

$5-33 donation + items to participate
No items but want to shop the collectively curated wares? $33-55 donation welcomed.

--> Learn More About the Swap (https://ticketscandy.com/e/metaphysical-items-swap-12388)

🌟 What Five Years Means 🌟
Five years means we've created something real. Something that matters. A space where people find not just herbs and crystals, but understanding. Not just products, but practitioners who see them fully. Not just a shop, but sanctuary.

You did this with us. Your purchases kept the lights on. Your trust kept us grounded. Your presence reminded us why we started.

This Friday, let's celebrate what we've built together—and extend that same care to families who need it most. Let's honor struggle by refusing to celebrate alone. Let's mark five years of community care by continuing to care, wider and deeper.

Come feast with us. Come remember with us. Come celebrate survival, resilience, and the radical act of building something beautiful in a world that often forgets beauty matters.

We can't wait to see your faces and feel your presence as we mark this milestone together.

With overflowing gratitude for every single one of you,
The STRŌB Apothecary Team 🌿✨

P.S. Can't attend but want to support families in Gaza and Sudan? Purchase a ticket anyway—it all goes directly to those who need it. Want to drop off baked goods but can't stay? Email wearestrob@gmail.com to coordinate. However you can show up, we're grateful.
