Hi! Kickstand and Basix are excited because we have been planning a big Kickoff to Pride weekend for you. Kickstand wanted to be a huge part with this weekend, so we are teaming up with them to have an all ages noon drag brunch and a 5 o'clock dinner drag show out on their patio on June 6th! There will even be a doggie drag show there that day! More details on those shows coming very soon.

We wanted to get a jump start on getting pride vendors lined up for this all ages event. We are only limited to 10 spots out on their patio. All the money collected for booth reservations will be donated to Pride. You can save this poster and scan the QR from your images or go to the sign up form at https://forms.gle/o3eChgrYUp6P6fjx7

Once we hit the deadline of May 15th we will go through all the applications for the Pride Vendor Market and get those approved and collect the donations for those booths at that time.

The Pride Vendor Market starts at noon, June 6th on the Kickstand patio with load in around 10 AM. Bring your own canopy tent and tables as this will be an open air pride vendor market.

We are super excited to have you all be a part of this action packed weekend! Thank you.

Spring is officially here & we’re putting on our teaching hats! 🌷🌟🌱 Join us Wednesday, May 6th from 6-7:30 PM for Sustain & Simplify

We’ll be covering what sustainability actually is, what it can look, sound, & feel like in practice, why it’s important, and how to get started & stay engaged even when life gets messy.

Sustainability is a long-term, collective effort and we want to make sure you feel equipped & empowered to act, especially from an intersectional lens.

If you’ve ever been curious as to why we share the things we do, are looking for more individualized support, and are hoping to connect with fellow Earth lovers, this is the class for you.

Registration is $25 and includes free soap samples, a copy of our shop zine, & access to our comprehensive resource hub (scroll for a sneak peek).

We’ve poured SO MUCH heart into this & are excited to finally share it with you! Please reach out with any questions ❣️

Love,
Rachel & Emily

*Note: By Kirkwood policy, a minimum of 5 sign-ups are needed by April 29th to host our class. Register through the link in our bio or search Sustain & Simplify at Kirkwood Continued Ed.

This Earth Month we’re celebrating a year of glimmers, growth, & community nourishment! 🌞🌸🌱🐞

From distributing hundreds of zines, to hosting our first craft day, expanding the resources on our blog, and cultivating reciprocity through the sharing of produce, books & art, we’ve aimed to make sustainability more accessible & community-driven in Cedar Rapids.

While we may be a low-waste shop first, we hope to exist as hub for connection too — a safe space to ask questions, gather with neighbors, and push ourselves to grow.

We believe collaborative social change is cool and Earth Month reminds us that our planet is desperately asking us to change. So, how will we choose to change together? Who’s already doing the work? How did we get here? And, what do we need to stay nourished along the way?

As we plan for the year ahead, what resources of ours have you appreciated? What sustainability questions do you still have? What community supports are you seeking?

I recently joined Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cedar Rapids & East Central Iowa as a big and it’s been so rewarding! Consider helping their organization by donating books! You can drop them at our shop and I’m happy to run they over to their office! :)

Help us build summer reading kits for our Littles!
We’re collecting new or gently used K–5 paperback books now through April 17.
Drop off just outside our office:

Let’s keep the pages turning all summer long 💚
