What a thrill to be a part of the dynamic conversa What a thrill to be a part of the dynamic conversations at the #MNOrganic Conference hosted and organized by @mnagriculture at the River’s Edge Conference Center in St. Cloud! Sarah Carroll of @togreenerpastures and I co-presented a breakout session about Digital Marketing Best Practices. We combined Greener Pasture’s rich visual storytelling expertise with my dedication to the power of the written word to create a practical session for farms selling their products direct to consumers. I learned so much through the other panels I attended on topics ranging from beneficial birds to food as medicine. It was especially interesting to learn about Mark and Simeon’s journey at @loonliquors I am grateful to hours of work from the @mnagriculture team. The conference was so well organized. The event space was easy to navigate. The panelists were well prepared. Attendees came ready with questions. Mark your calendar for January 8-9 for the 2026 conference. I can’t wait to be back! Are you interested in learning about digital marketing best practices (both website and social media) for your small business? Sarah and I are already at work planning for more in-depth workshops this year. Sign up for my newsletter at meettheminnesotamakers.com to receive direct notice when workshop signups are live.

“There is no quick fix for skincare,” explains “There is no quick fix for skincare,” explains Tina Freiborg of Tina Rachelle Aesthetics. “We create a judgment-free, relatable space for people to get their questions answered. We embrace the skin you have. Let’s emphasize your strengths. Let’s remember that aging is a good thing. You’ve earned that.” “We are not a black cardigan salon,” states Tina.“When we express our own individuality, we feel better about ourselves as providers. Clients notice that vibrancy and confidence. We share that same feeling with our clients to make them feel more confident. Tina established her business in the fall of 2021in a space the size of a closet. “I had to step out so that my client could step in,” laughs Tina. Her business is now a team of five creative problem solvers ready to welcome you to their Waite Park space near St. Cloud. “Everyone in our group has a different approach. Yet we all share the same goal of creating the best client experience possible.” Signature treatments include facial massages to relax the skin’s facial muscles, which softens the skin’s contours naturally. “I encourage people to book a consultation first to address their goals as well as their budget. This allows us to customize a skin care routine that meets their priorities.” Tina Rachelle Aesthetics recently added a new affordable acne-focused line of products and treatments. Tina has noticed a rise in teenagers and college-aged youth getting their skincare advice from TikTok influencers. “They’re spending money without knowing what they’re doing. I’m so excited to provide accessible options of wholesome skincare. “I love watching this business of mine grow. There’s some fear in expanding our services, but it’s mainly a sense of awe and gratitude,” reflects Tina. “This business is my baby, my fourth kid.” Book a consultation for someone on your list or surprise them with the gift of experience with a gift certificate. Explore all their services and book a consultation through www.tinarachelle.com
