Made for Real Life.
📍 NewBo City Market | Cedar Rapids, Iowa Bumblebee Lotus started as a way to work through my own healing. After struggling with my mental health for years, I needed something that gave me purpose—something that reminded me I could still grow, even from the mess. The name comes from that idea: the bumblebee, small but relentless… and the lotus, blooming from the mud. I’ve been lucky to have support from my family, especially my husband, my mom, and my kids. But losing my dad in January lit a fire in me I didn’t expect. He was so proud of what I was building, and I carry that with me every day. The scribble bee in my logo is a little tribute to him, inspired by the scribble dog he used to draw. This isn’t just about crystals, sage, or dream catchers—it’s about finding light, honoring the hard stuff, and turning pain into something that might help someone else heal too. I’m always learning, growing, and adding new things to Bumblebee Lotus, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me. It truly means the world to me! Xoxo,
Amy

So I did a thing...

I meant to announce it yesterday but I won't lie, it was thoroughly amusing to watch people walk past and then spin around and say "wait! I thought you left!" 🤣

This was the fastest move ever (literally did it overnight lmao 😅) and I am SO EXCITED to have more room for people to move around and shop before the holiday season!!

We are calling the shop a "rough draft" for now... there is SO MUCH more to come!!

Thank you all for your love and support!! It truly means the world to me!! 💛💛💛

Has anyone ever heard of "migraine auras" or "aura headaches"?

Apparently they cause you to see weird blurry shapes, distort your vision, create blind spots, and make everything look almost warped. Kinda like drunk vision, except you're completely sober. 👀

I've had them happen a few times randomly, and they usually last anywhere from 5-15 min before they just go away on their own. Once it happened while I was driving, and that was a WILD experience.

I'm not a fan of going to the Dr, so I tend to avoid it until absolutely necessary... however, I'm genuinely curious if anyone else experiences these and what causes them?! When I Google it, I get reasons like "stress, depression, bright lights, loud noises, strong odors, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, or certain foods and alcohol."

Soooo basically it could be just about anything other than the food and alcohol for me. 🤣

Has anyone else experienced these? Have you figured out what triggers yours, or do they just randomly show up, make your vision go all wonky, and disappear like nothing happened? Cuz I'd really love to know I am not alone here... 😅

Something hits different about going to text someone and knowing they won't ever text you back... 💔

It's been hard lately. The holidays are coming up and the reality that my dad is gone has been hitting pretty hard. I have SO much I wanna tell him. All the exciting things happening in life, all the BS, and even the random s**t that happens throughout the day. Things I wouldn't have thought twice about telling him before. Now I'd give anything to pick up the phone and tell him about absolutely nothing.

Thanksgiving is coming up and I'll be making his stuffing recipe. He typed it out himself, even adding jokes about how I read ahead and needed to go back to the other page. 😂 I can practically hear him laughing at me when I have to read the directions 4 times after being SO confident I knew what I was doing the first time. 🤣 My dad is with me every time I cook. I have a favorite picture of us in my kitchen and always have his favorite songs playing. Sometimes the smallest things make you smile and break your heart at the same time.

I don't think anyone really prepares you for how much you'll miss the everyday s**t. Something good happens and you wanna share it. Something pi**es you off and you wanna bitch about it. You hear a song, see something funny, or just have a bad day and wanna hear their voice. Grief is weird. Some days you're doing pretty damn good and other days you're completely falling apart. There's no warning when those waves are gonna hit.

Life goes on, but that doesn't mean you stop wishing they were here to be part of it.

Please be kind to people. Not everyone talks about their pain. Not everyone shows it. You never know what someone else is going through or how hard they're trying just to get through the day. ❤️‍🩹

Hold your loved ones close. Tell people they matter. Take the pictures, make the memories, and go visit them even if it's just for a few minutes. Don't assume there's always gonna be another time. One day you might go to send someone a message and realize you'll never get a response again. 💔

Yesterday's post explained what I'm up to outside of NewBo... today, I can give you the perfect example.

I remembered to grab all the inventory... Entirely forgot my cash box money 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Have no choice but to go back home and get it and now won't be back for 30 min.

I cannot make this s**t up.

Happy Fridayyyy!

Ever wonder what I do when I am not at NewBo City Market?? I can assure you it isn't ever being lazy or "not wanting to be there" like I have heard said about me. 🙄

Yesterday, I went to open the shop and was there til bout 1230pm. I then came home and worked on back end business stuff cuz everything was here. After that, I priced and packed things and went to Lindale Mall to reset my end cap and Madi's space at Wolf Den Marketplace. Today, I worked on a couple new product ideas, put away the disaster I had made while creating things, did dishes, took the recycling out, organized my "office" and made dinner for the fam. Of course my washing machine said FU while I was attempting to tackle the laundry mountain taking over my office and forced me to spend time figuring out how to fix it by myself. I DID IT THO!

I'ma be totally honest with you. I can't create all the things at my shop cuz I don't have room for all the supplies I need, so I do it at home. I cannot restock multiple locations with little to no back stock, so my "weekend" is spent working 98% of the time too.

You guys... I have lists for my lists. I forgot I ordered stuff until I find it hidden on a shelf behind something else and had already ordered more. I print things for the shop and accidently leave them at home... for multiple days. I make too many of things sometimes just cuz it was fun... and then have to sit on them forever until someone else thinks they're cute and has to have them.

I am a human. I f**k up. I also do amazing things sometimes. It's all part of the experience. Just because you don't see me there doesn't mean I'm off on a vacation and doing nothing.

I am a mom, wife and business owner. I have like 47 jobs within those 3. Our entire family (aka my "staff") being sick last week did not help matters any. We are bouncing back slowly but surely.

Having a lil family business is pretty dope and I'm so glad I took the leap!! Insanely hard sometimes but absolutely worth it. 💛

I'm excited to announce that Bumblebee Lotus will be popping up in another location as well as NewBo City Market and Wolf Den Marketplace!!

The location will be dropped as soon as my stuff is in there!! Should be soon-ish so stay tuned!! Exact date to be determined! 🙃

Madi and I went to check it out today and it felt like home. From the second we walked in, we were both in awe. The energy was perfect, the layout was even better and I truly cannot wait to be featured there!!

I will probably drop sneak peeks as it gets closer... for now I'm leaving you with this. 🖤
