As many of you know I got hit with a huge gust of wind yesterday that whipped the wall of the tent and sent the top of an a-frame flying with all of our most expensive products on it… not just price tag but labor, wo-man hours, ingredients, bottles, specialty tubes and jars, complicated formulas, and more with pretty low profit margins since I’m keeping it real here. These aren’t just lost products and sales but it’s lost opportunity to take care of my family and provide holistic nontoxic products to my communities. This was my third year at Belle Grove’s Kris Kringle Market and I love it so much…. I will be returning! I’m well aware of the wind situation and despite being weighted down, staked, and bungeed to the fence the gust was strong enough to warp my tent and allow the wall to catch the wind in just the right spot to send everything. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you prepare these things can still happen. I underestimated the beating my tent has taken over the last 3 years and now it’s time for a replacement of that as well.

During the chaos, clean up, and online comments/messages after I have truly been in disbelief at the insensitive comments and actions. People were stepping over KC and I as we were on the ground slipping around in broken glass, lotion, and oil using signs as brooms and shopping bags as dustpans so they could continue to shop and the dozens of people gawking at us and passively bystanding and/or making rude comments. “Since it’s broken does that mean it’s free?” really sent me. Many people got mean military Ellie yesterday. I accepted the loss of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, lost time, signs, decor, merch, tent and was fine. It’s the reaction from most that was the most upsetting. To those people I’d say it again… to the witnesses and incredibly kind, selfless people who helped, offered to help, or gave us space when I *sternly* requested it I am truly thankful and sorry that you had to see that side of me 🥲 you are the people I keep doing this for and you’re forever fam 💗 plz support small 🫶🏻

Happy Veteran’s Day to all my brothers and sisters who have served and those who continue to serve 🇺🇸 please take some time today to think about and thank the veterans you know for the sacrifices they’ve made ♥️

Over the last few months I’ve realized that many of you do not know my origin story so here is an introduction:

I’m Ellie, the Founder/CEO of Apotheke DuJardin and the formulator and creator of our product line. I am also a proud Veteran. I joined in 2015 at 22 years old after a few years of nursing school, lost, and looking for a greater purpose. I served in the Air Force for 6.5 years, where I worked as a Respiratory Care Practitioner. I managed a wide array of patient populations and conditions, from NICU to end-of-life care and cardiopulmonary clinics. Trauma was my jam. Summer of 2019, I was pregnant and reassigned to Germany during the peak of COVID. During my time working in COVID, pregnant and postpartum, my dad was battling terminal cancer. After the enforcement of the 💉I being harassed everyday for months by my leadership to get it. I refused and was thrown on night shift and almost never saw my new baby. Between treating patients I would pump and watch the baby monitor to see Lennon. I was battling severe PPD. I soon decided to separate from the USAF. I wanted to be closer to home and my husband made a huge professional sacrifice to come with me to Germany so we moved here to Hagerstown in 2021.

The real world had been dropped right into my lap. I was suddenly alone in a new city with a baby I pretty much just met. I was suffering from chronic pain issues and a severe identity crisis. Shortly after my dad died.

I was in a bad place… as a lot of veterans are. I had a choice and decided to turn my life around. After the birth of Miles I enrolled in school full time where I got certified in herbalism, natural products manufacturing and holistic nutrition and wellness consulting. 3 years later we have the store and all of you beautiful people in our life 💗 when I say thank you, please know from the bottom of my heart I am forever grateful for you all 🫶🏻 I never expected the love and support I have received having this business.
