Scent Hippie

Scent Hippie, LLC is a minority female-owned, handmade business specializing in products that contain a variety of products ranging from vegan, cruelty-free, toxin-free, carcinogen-free, mutagen-free and phthalate-free. We are located in Southern Indiana specializing in products meeting the needs of those who are a part of the earth-conscious community but still adore crafting products for people of all walks of life. Our brand name “Scent Hippie” comes from our beloved inspiration of the hippie movement. We value promoting a life of love, a life of peace, a life of happiness, and a life essentially supporting freedom. Our second inspiration for this brand was our divine attraction to nature which was our inspiration for the look and feel of this brand. Scent Hippie was started with the intention of spreading wellness to all. We first started making products for ourselves, now we enjoy sharing with our community. All of our products are handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail and created with quality ingredients. We offer a wide range of beautiful scents, perfect for any space. We are continuously developing and researching blends of oils and innovative products that deliver exceptional results and maximize wellness benefits.

The concept of Scent Hippie started in 2020 by a college student looking to make an impact on the environment. Bree is a huge advocate for naturalistic living and offers a piece of her in all of her products she creates. She began experimenting with holistic soap and candle recipes for herself because she felt as if there was a lack of brands on the market that were truly interested in handcrafting holistic products from the heart that also manufactured products that were full of vital, high quality, and holistic ingredients for the benefit of their customers and the Earth. She started off by creating products for herself, friends, and family. She sold many products to her community and decided she wanted to expand her holistic talents. Bree wanted to create products that were good for the Earth as well as her customers. After years of research from books and hands on trial-and-error Scent Hippie, LLC was open to the public on March 26th, 2022, offering customers beautifully scented products from high quality ingredients. To this day Bree is continuously developing and researching blends of oils and innovative products that deliver exceptional results and maximize wellness benefits for her customers and integrating this into her product line.

The College Visit Journal

The College Visit Journal is a guided journal resource for high school students navigating the college admission process. I created this guided journal for high school students going on college tours. It's a resource that I did not have when I was going through the process and I wanted to make sure I created something that would provide high value, be low cost, and accessible to anyone who needs guidance throughout the college selection process. We all know someone who is a parent, has a family member going through the college selection process, or knows someone who is! The guided journal was written by Danielle Marshall in 2019 and is available in multiple Louisville, KY Carmichael's Bookstore locations, on Bookshop, and in Tall Tales Book Store in Atlanta, GA.

Sunblind Fine Art + Wearables features handmade polymer clay jewelry, pet portraits, event signage + more! Corie uses her background as a mental health therapist to channel that creativity and resilience into areas where we may not realize we need it!

She is inspired by childhood and quirkiness. Her biggest inspiration is the slightly weird teacher we all had in elementary school. The one who wore crazy socks, had frizzy hair and wore the biggest and best earrings (looking at you, Ms. Frizzel!). She always thought those teachers were SO cool and wanted to be just like them, so now she uses that air of silliness when designing and making her jewelry. The shop was founded by Corie Brangers in 2020 and is based in Louisville, Kentucky.
