I’m looking forward to celebrating the holidays! I never thought I’d be ready for the season to change, but this year surprised me—and I’m ready for all the holiday cheer.
On November 15th, the online store will open with everything stocked! Holiday items will be available, and you’ll also have the option to subscribe for your essentials so you never run out.
If you don’t know me yet, I’m Chelsea. I’m a Massage Therapist who makes these products for myself and my massage practice. I wasn’t happy with what was available in my field, so I started creating my own. That’s what Hafen is—and I’m so glad you’re here!
For the past four years, I’ve been experimenting with new methods of making product and organizing how to get them to you. I’ve felt a deep pull to be intentional in my personal life, and that same intentionality is shaping how I run my business too. So, I’m trying something new for 2026. (Keep reading if you want to hear!)
Hafen will begin hosting Drop & Shops—times when the online store opens for a short window and all products are freshly stocked. I plan to hold these quarterly.
This new rhythm ensures every product you receive is freshly made and helps Hafen stay efficient, producing just the right amount in each batch.
I’m excited for these changes—and honestly, a little nervous. As a small business, you never know exactly what people will want. It’s easy to tie your worth to how things go (which I don’t recommend!), but it’s something I’ve had to work through. I’m thankful for my relationship with Jesus and how He’s always refining me. He is my protector and provider. As I render the beef fat and whip the tallow, I often pray over it and hope you feel that same love from Him that I do.
If you’ve made it this far, don’t forget to mark your calendar for November 15th! You’ll get an email that morning with the exact time we’ll go live. It’s a Saturday, so you can shop from the comfort of your cozy bed. ;)
I’m so grateful for each of you who has supported Hafen. This has been an incredible journey, and I can’t wait to see how God moves us in the months ahead.
With love,
Chelsea
