Salvation Wellness
Custom Tailored Therapeutic Massage

Thrilled to share more about
Jersey City studio @salvationwellness and it’s owner Ceallaigh.
Take a look 👀:
🍃Woman owned business since 2014.
🌺Offers massage, facials, saunas and meditation, holistic home and vegan 🐇bodycare products.
🌿Committed to sustainability by being a paperless business; using ONLY nontoxic cleaners, and utilizing renewable resources like wind 💨and solar for their commercial utilities.
Beyond their restorative and therapeutic services I was seriously impressed how socially conscious @salvationwellness is.
Their retail skincare and wellness products are made by woman owned small BIPOC businesses and those with disabilities. 👏👏.
They even donate a portion of their sales to nonprofits and have a soap line called "social justice soaps" dedicated to different nonprofits

Along with my team, I strive to make sure that each person we hire feels seen, valued, and is encouraged to have a healthy work life balance, and paid a wage that supports their personal growth. All this creates a system where our clients have the best experience.”
Here’s a FUN fact about Ceallaigh beyond her business;

The REFILL Market
Low Waste Sustainable Shop
I was thrilled to connect with Tina Solak, owner of The Refill Market NJ in Haddon Township and share my love of zero waste small businesses.
From soap to personal care items, detergents and household cleaning products Tina's customers BYO - "bring your own" containers to fill up what they need.
Tina even carries bulk Cat Litter Bags made from maize flour and vegetable oil.
There ae many sustainable alternatives to single use items at this local, ecofriendly shop, with a focus on natural ingredients and minimal packaging to help you kick your plastic habit.
A registered NJ Sustainable business, The Refill Market NJ is approaching their two-year anniversary and has established some convenient ways to shop including ordering online for curbside pickup, delivery or shipping.
Bonus - they also recycle pens, markers, crayons, drink pouches, squeezable snack pouches, Brita water filters, sports nutrition packaging, razors, toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes - all hard to recycle items which usually find their way into our trash.
A lifelong environmentalist Tina was always worried about the environment. She was inspired to establish a refill store after learning about others that were opening around the country.
Tina shared "knowing there were others who felt the same way I did, I thought I should bring this way of shopping to my community."
Whether you live in Haddon Township or have been curious about "low waste" shopping visit The Refill Market NJ on IG or their website to discover the benefits of refill for yourself.

Just Jersey
Specialty Retail Shop
I love my NJ roots and found a unique specialty retail shop that feels the same way.
Just Jersey, located in beautiful Morristown is the perfect spot to find and fuel your love for NJ.
In business for 10 years business partners Paul Miller and Tina Bologna
offer products sourced from NJ-based small businesses, many sourced directly from independent artists and makers.
From specialty foods, bath and body care products, handcrafted jewelry, to housewares, decor and New Jersey-themed gifts they’ve got your NJ obsession covered. .
For me personally I admire their commitment to both sustainability and wellness and that there locally sourced products include organic ingredients whenever possible.
Tina shared "we know that locally made products are always much more sustainable than those mass produced or shipped in from distant areas."
Not only do they have a smaller carbon footprint due to reduced transport miles but they also have an economic impact that enables more funds to stay within and be distributed in their local economy.
AND they also use ONLY 100% recycled and recyclable paper products.
Their mission to sell beautiful, functional products made by people within our own state should encourage ALL of us to shop them in person or online.
Let’s spread the NJ love….visit them on their website and support this amazing small business.

Westwood and Quinn
Eco friendly Soy Candles & Lifestyle Products
Kicking off the week off with some “sister power." Meet Elizabeth and Katherine, owners of Westwood and Quinn, an eco friendly handmade natural soy wax candles, macramé plant holders and keychains, hand-printed organic tote bags and more.
They’ve been in the handmade space for years but decided 2020 was the right time to turn their passion into something more.
Being sustainable is a big part of their identity and how they want their business to run.
"We try our best to use plastic free packaging, recycled or recycled materials as much as we can and make products that offer phthalate free scents, organic cotton, natural soy wax, lead free cotton wicks, and recycled paper labels."
I just ordered one of their hand printed sunflower totes (can’t have enough of those right) and hope you all take some time to explore the Westwood and Quinn IG page.
When these two are not in business mode Elizabeth teaches high school Spanish and Katherine is focusing her career path on environmental and wildlife conservation. Both are animal and nature lovers and recently created a special candle scent to raise money for their local animal refuge.
DM them on IG to make a purchase.

Nyah Beauty
Handmade Soaps & Skincare
I had the pleasure of connecting with La Shonda Tyree owner of NJ skincare brand Nyah Beauty through my work at the YWCA Northern NJ.
Meeting women who take their passion and purpose to the next level, especially when that passion is creating clean beauty products just gets me so inspired.
In 2003 LaShonda started slowly creating handmade soaps at the request of her mom who wanted to find a product that didn’t make her skin itch. Starting from scratch she learned all she could the art of soapmaking and 9 years later Nyah Beauty became her full-time focus.
Her plant-based product line includes soaps, lotions, scrubs, shower steamers and coconut candles. She also teaches a DIY Sip and Soap making class that teaches women to not just make beauty products ,but ones that are all natural and support their wellbeing.
La Shondra is not only a rock star entrepreneur (and big “movie junkie) but a believer in giving back to others. She donates a percentage of her soaps to local nonprofits that serve the homeless and others in need of some love.
Checkout Nyah on IG or their website and explore their complete product line.
LaShonda believes “you shouldn’t have to stress about your skincare” and is committed to creating products that are free of detergents, phthalates and other irritating ingredients just for you.

Miner's Daughter
Sustainable Soaps & Skincare
Every time I connect with a new NJ beauty or personal care maker I get excited. I discovered Kelly and her brand, Miner’s Daughter on IG and was totally intrigued by her beautiful herbal soaps. They are so uniquely crafted and looked like art to me.
In business for almost 6 years the Miner’s Daughter offers cold process soaps, herbal face and body creams, salves, balms, herbal face steams and herbal butters.
Kelly was inspired to make soap and creating a business after leaving her last job. Like many of us she wanted to travel down a career path that fulfilled her and allowed her to work with plants and learn more about herbalism which she loves. She found friends like local herbalist Reid Giacoramma @manytrees103 who helped her learn how to make soaps and has been doing just that ever since.
Kelly is 100% committed to creating sustainable products She uses local plants that are either grown by her or other local organic farmers for all her skincare line
.
“I use mostly all organic ingredients/ and or fair trade, or sustainably grown or harvested. Right now I don’t use any fragrance oils in my soap and I’m looking into using just hydrosols and infused herbal oils instead of essential oils moving forward.”
Kelly comes from a long line of proud sterling zinc miners from Sussex County including her father, grandfather, uncles and even great grandfather and works hard to honor their traditions by using earth’s gifts in whatever she crafts.
Visit the Miner’s Daughter on IG or her website – Kelly is a true local NJ artisan we all should support.

CASA LAMA
Sustainable Tote Bags
Their timing was perfect! Kenia Lama and Ana Laborde, two gifted sisters, knew all too well the devastating impact plastics have on our environment and created a practical, and stylish alternative to single use plastic bags.
Newly launched CASA LAMA offers a washable, biodegradable paper bag tote that is durable and made out of cellulose and natural latex, It’s lightweight, fashionable and has cotton handles.
It can be washed by hand or in the washing machine and the BEST PART is after each wash it changes and begins to look like leather.
Great to bring to the beach, pool, gym or even to travel with.
I just ordered mine and can’t wait to use it this summer.
Both ladies are completely committed to sustainable best practices and plan on donating a portion of their proceeds to One Tree Planted, an ecofriendly organization that supports our environment.
If you need a bag (and who doesn't) here it is.
Shop CASA LAMA today! on IG or their website.

JIM & JUICE
Organic Fresh Delivery Juices
Most of us are aware that our food choices can have an impact on our health and the planet. And that’s exactly what inspired James Marvosa of Jim & Juice in create his Union County, NJ business Jim & Juice.
Jim feels strongly that there is a connection “between our food and the diseases that plague us” as well as the negative impact that genetically modified crops and chemicals used to grow them have on our planet.
Launched in April 2022 Jim & Juice offer cold-pressed, glass bottled beverages delivered to Union County doorsteps between 6-8am.
I love their “pressed while you rest” tag line since they remove all the burden of frequenting a juice bar or making juice at home. And who doesn’t love the idea of waking up to fresh juice before the day begins.
Some juice choice include:
Organic Classic Apple
Organic Cucumber Pineapple
Watermelon, Lemon & Pineapple
Non Dairy Macadamia Nut
Placing an order is simple – just create an account on their website, make your juice selections (2 days in advance) and your juices will be dropped off at your door. You can always keep excess bottles in the frig until indicated on the best-by-date label.
To encourage recycling Jim suggests you rinse and return the glass bottles by leaving them at your doorsteps to get cash back on future orders – Brilliant!
Jim walks the juice walk but lives it daily as he has been practicing a fruit based diet since 2016 meaning the majority of his calories come from fruit. He hopes to inspire and help others transition to a plant based diet and healthier lifestyle.
BONUS: Use our GGNJ coupon code AT JIM & JUICE checkout for 25% off your first order: GOINGGREEN
If you live in Union County, I encourage you to give JIM & JUICE a try – ($15 minimum order)

Bear Minimum LLC
Refillery & Sustainable Goods
There’s nothing better than spreading the news, sharing the love and building awareness around the “green” local businesses that make New Jersey so awesome.
Meet, Elizabeth, Michael and Emily, partners of Bear Minimum LLC a refillery & sustainable good market in Boonton, NJ.
They carry a variety of refillable soaps, cleanser, hair/body care & nontoxic baby/children’s products & more.
They’re also a hub for local, handmade artisanal goods & work hard to help their customers become more “sustainable savvy” & limit their carbon footprint.
Owner Liz shared “it started when I began my journey as a mom. I came to find a wealth of knowledge from like-minded mamas about safe and CLEAN products. I realized there was SO MUCH more than just baby products I needed to look at, & with the way I was purchasing products, and excessively wasting in my everyday life. This led me to using safe & clean products for my family, & community, and the biggest, most important picture, globally.”
It's exciting to hear that within a short time Bear Minimum has connected with their community and is helping them lead a more eco friendly lifestyle.
Their BYOB, "Bring Your Own Bottle" shopping motto encourages customers to be more environmentally aware.
“We don’t have containers for purchase because we know that there are so many bottles out there that just need to be cleaned out and reused! We put a strong emphasis on not creating more waste as a way to divert waste from winding up in landfills.”
Bravo!
Anyone who lives in Boonton or even Morris County should stop by, say hi and support this new local business – just be sure to “bring your own bottle.”
