A full moon, two like-minded individuals and manifestation.That's how our lifestyle and design company Mystic Roots Co. came to fruition in 2020. As CEOs & Designers, Stephanie Ruiz and Roger Moore are brimming with ideas. Driven by their passions for plants and crystals, one of their first projects was a cart full of potted plants and crystals to sell in downtown Burlington. Just weeks later, the pandemic shutdowns began. As nature lovers themselves, they turned inward and built their own personal jungles inside their respective homes — bringing the outdoors in. It was during this time that it occurred to them that there was a void in the community they could fill. They now offer workshops aimed at guidlng others on how to create natural, harmonious environments; custom interior plant styling, and various levels of plant services for care and maintenance. "We believe Mystic Roots is succeeding because our business is based on our core values; networking, community and supporting local business — because its who we are." For more about their next workshop or to schedule a consultation, go to mysticrootscompany.com OR call (336) 512-3030

Owning your own business brings tests and trials; however, I believe these things come into our lives to make us stronger. Amid COVID-19 making its impact on us, I have still been able to keep my small business afloat. I was able to strategically come up with a plan that accommodates my customers and still works within the principles and structure of my business. Adapting to custom trends and being able to decipher what would best accommodate my customers during these indescribable times pushed me to get creative. I was even able to offer discounts because I negotiated deeper discounts from my own venders. It was a win-win, during a time when I could have thrown my hands up in the air instead. I wasn't going to give up. I was even blessed enough to gain new customers during these unprecendented times. With God, faith, Mr.YUP (my father), and the many support of others by my side, my business is thriving and it feels like 2021 is going to be a good year. To all you small business owners out there: Never give up! designer apparel ♦ lashes ♦ all-natural body & lip products & more
