Celebrating our Detroit Roots on Our 1 Year Anniversary May 27, 2022 By Megan Klein As we head towards our one year anniversary, I'm feeling nostalgic and full of love for Detroit. Our Plant Magic Mocktails were born during Detroit's most famous music weekend - the Movement Music Festival, a celebration of the city’s techno roots. Covid restrictions meant there was no official festival over Memorial Day weekend 2021, but that didn't stop rebellious music venues from throwing their own "Mini Movement" parties all over the city. Spot Lite, an amazing art + music venue, agreed to be the first in Detroit to serve Little Saints. We debuted Baby Mint, our brand new plant magic vending trailer, right outside of Spotlite and served our plant magic mocktails to the music and dance-loving crowd. As an early stage founder, I was running the company completely alone at the time but I was lucky enough to tap my Detroit community to join in on the fun. We made our Terpene Queen costumes by hand, and transformed into these joyful characters with our favorite local makeup artist. We listened to music while getting ready — channeling the energy and spirit of years past. No launch goes without some kind of glitch. Our cute but temperamental Baby Mint rolled into the street and accidentally locked us out! But she made up for it by drawing the best crowd to us. That weekend we served hundreds of plant magic mocktails to Detroiters who were so excited for a non-alcoholic, sugar-free and delicious option after spending the pandemic drinking too much booze. We connected about plant magic, music, psychedelics, CBD, dancing and consciousness. In honor of our anniversary, I am feeling immense gratitude to Detroit — one of the most inspiring, creative, diverse, places where ideas are born and dreams are made. To each and every one of you that visited Baby Mint, tried our plant magic mocktails and supported us in those early days, — THANK YOU!

Hard work is paying off! Leave a comment related blogs The Bachelor: Mushroom and ... April 22, 2024 And today, in honor of Earth Day, we’re taking our unique brand of environmentalism to the next level, with our most playful, and ridiculous, plant creation yet: The Bachelor of the Mushroom and Plant Kingdom. Sponsored by Little Saints. Yes, I’m talking about The Bachelor, the TV show. If there can be a Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelorette, Golden Bachelor, and countless other human versions of The Bachelor franchise, we don’t see any reason why our mushroom and plant friends should be excluded. While not everyone watches The Bachelor (I’ve personally only seen a few episodes), I’m willing to bet there are more people who could tell you what The Bachelor is than could tell you the personality of a Reishi or a Lion’s Mane Mushroom (like those in Little Saints drinks). And we’re here to change that. read more Wisdom From Our Younger Sel... March 25, 2024 read more Turn On to Turn Up: Introdu... March 10, 2024 read more
