🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

Today is the one day of the year when a donut counts as a breakfast food... and nobody asks questions. 😆

While we fully support celebrating with your favorite glazed, sprinkled, or cream-filled masterpiece, here's a fun gut-health fact:

🦠 Akkermansia muciniphila is one of the most researched beneficial bacteria in the gut. Healthy levels of Akkermansia have been associated with metabolic health, healthy blood sugar regulation, appetite control, and maintaining a strong gut barrier.

The challenge? Modern diets high in processed foods and sugar can make it harder for beneficial bacteria to thrive.

That's one reason we're excited about Nudora Orange. It contains Akkermansia muciniphila along with probiotics, prebiotics, and metabolic-support ingredients designed to help nourish your gut microbiome and support overall wellness from the inside out.

🍩 Enjoy the donut today.

🦠 Support your gut tomorrow.

Because the goal isn't to never eat donuts—it's to build a gut microbiome that's resilient enough to handle life's occasional treats. 😉

Stop by Modern Apothecary to learn more about Nudora Orange and how Akkermansia is changing the conversation around gut and metabolic health.

🎓👨 It's Dad & Grad Card Season...

That magical time of year when:

🎓 Graduates are receiving life advice they didn't ask for.
👨 Dads are receiving ties they'll never wear.
😬 And everyone realizes they forgot to buy a card about 30 minutes before the party starts.

Good news: Modern Apothecary's Ink'd Greeting Card Kiosk is here to save your reputation.

We've got cards for:
✔️ The grad who's ready to change the world
✔️ The dad who treats the thermostat like it's Fort Knox
✔️ The dad who can fix anything except the Wi-Fi
✔️ The grad whose major requires a 10-minute explanation

Even better...

🎁 You can add a gift card right on the back of your greeting card from dozens of popular retailers and restaurants.

That's right. A card AND a gift.

Because stuffing cash in an envelope says:
"Congratulations."

Adding a gift card says:
"I totally didn't remember this at the last minute." 😎

And for those who appreciate a little extra sass...

🌙 Check out Cards After Dark.

Stop by Modern Apothecary and browse the Ink'd Greeting Card Kiosk today. Whether you're feeling sentimental, hilarious, or just a little snarky, we've got a card for that.

☀️ Summer heat can be tough on eczema-prone skin.

Sweat, heat, and increased outdoor exposure can trigger flare-ups and leave skin feeling irritated and uncomfortable.

Skinesa is a probiotic supplement designed to support skin health from the inside out by helping balance the gut-skin connection.

Stop by Modern Apothecary to learn whether Skinesa may be a helpful addition to your eczema care routine.

***UPDATE: We are now sold out of dumplings. More are on order. We will post again when they arrive! ***

🚨 We have officially entered our “apparently this is a thing now” era 😂

We were informed by the younger generation that we NEEDED to stock squishy fidget toys… so here we are.

✨ Squishy Dumplings
✨ Mystery Rainbow Buns
✨ Glittery Squishy Cubes

Do we fully understand the trend?
Absolutely not.

Do they feel weirdly satisfying to squeeze?
Unfortunately… yes. 😅

Perfect for:
• Kids
• Stress relief
• Desk fidgets
• People who just like squishing random things after a long day

⚠️ And before anyone asks… these are NOT NeeDoh brand products. Just fun little squishy alternatives we found and decided to try out in the shop 😊

Stop in and tell us if we’re late to the trend… or ahead of it 😂

🕰️ Way Back Wednesday 🐦

This Victorian birdcage is estimated to date back to the late 1800s — around 1880–1905 — when apparently people thought, “You know what this bird needs? A mansion.” 😄

Complete with cathedral roofs, hand-carved details, balconies, and enough architectural flair to make modern apartments jealous, this wasn’t just a birdcage… it was a status symbol.

Meanwhile today, most of us are still trying to keep one houseplant alive. 🌱

This beautiful piece was gifted to us by our friend Beth from Strobbe’s Flower Cart when she retired, which makes it even more special to us. ❤️

The craftsmanship is incredible up close. No assembly line. No particle board. Just old-school artistry and patience.

Honestly, if this thing had plumbing, Zillow would probably list it for $450,000. 🏡🐤

🧼 Update: the soap has developed a following.

Our Perennial soap bars were the top seller this past week… which feels aggressive for a product whose main job is just “be soap.”

Somehow people try one and immediately become loyal. Like… “I didn’t know I had strong opinions about soap, but here we are.”

We keep hearing the same things: it smells really good without punching you in the face, it doesn’t leave your skin dry, and it makes your shower feel like you’ve got your life together… even if the rest of the day says otherwise 😅

Also, important pattern we’ve noticed… no one buys just one. There’s always a return trip. Always.

🛍️ So if you haven’t tried them yet, go ahead and grab one. Just know this may be the start of a very committed relationship.

🕷️ Found a tick? Here’s what to do.

First… don’t panic. And skip the internet hacks 😅
(No burning, twisting, or covering it in random stuff.)

If you’ve got a Tick Key, here’s the right way to use it 👇

🔑 Step 1: Place the key on the skin
Slide the slot over the tick and position it as close to the skin as possible

🔑 Step 2: Slide along the skin
Gently slide the key forward against the skin to trap the tick in the slot

🔑 Step 3: Remove the tick
Continue sliding until the tick fully detaches

💡 Why this matters:
Using the right technique helps remove the tick cleanly without squeezing or breaking it.

🐶 Yes, this works on pets too
Because unfortunately, they find ticks first 🤢

📸 Check out the image for a quick visual guide so you know exactly what to do when the moment comes.

🛍️ We keep these at the counter because… once you need one, you don’t want to be figuring it out in real time.

Better to have it before your next “EWWW” situation 😬
