Where It Began

A personal journey.
A new perspective.

Before opening my stores, I spent more than a decade in New York City working in the fashion and beauty industries. But it was my own personal health journey that ultimately reshaped how I thought about what we put into our bodies, onto our skin, and into our homes.

After years of navigating fertility challenges, I began taking a closer look at the ingredients in the products my family and I used every day. What began as a personal pursuit of better health evolved into a passion for clean living, conscious consumption, and helping others make more informed choices. When my family relocated to Northeast Ohio, I quickly realized that many of the brands and products I had come to rely on and love weren't readily accessible. I saw an opportunity to create the kind of shopping experience I had been searching for myself.

Introducing
SLFMKR.

In 2020, amid the uncertainty of a global pandemic, I opened SLFMKR, a modern apothecary dedicated to clean beauty and self-care. Rooted in the belief that true well-being begins with the choices we make for ourselves, SLFMKR brought together high-performing products, education, and personalized guidance in a space designed to feel as welcoming as it was beautiful.

The Next Chapter · 2025

From skin care
to the whole home.

As our community grew, I began to recognize a need that extended beyond the bathroom shelf. Where could someone find a plastic-free cutting board, non-toxic cookware, or thoughtfully made essentials for everyday living, all in one place? Drawing inspiration from my first entrepreneurial venture, Bubble Girl Bakes, a gluten-free and allergen-free flour blend and food blog, I started ideating a store that would bring the same intentional approach to the kitchen and home. Five years after opening SLFMKR, Well Stocked was born.

For me, Well Stocked is a natural extension of everything that inspired SLFMKR. Clean living doesn't stop with the products we put on our skin. It is also about what we cook with, what we eat, how we care for our homes, and the small rituals that make everyday life feel a little more meaningful and joyful.

The Well Stocked Philosophy

Thoughtfully curated.
Consciously chosen.

Well Stocked brings that philosophy to life through a thoughtfully curated assortment of cookware, pantry staples, cleaning essentials, tableware, and gifts. Every product is selected with intention, balancing quality, function, aesthetic and consideration for both people and the planet.

Above all, my hope is that Well Stocked makes conscious living feel a little less complicated and a lot more enjoyable. It's not about doing everything perfectly or replacing everything you own. It's about making thoughtful choices, discovering things you'll use and love, and finding joy in the everyday.

A Note from Kait

Finding joy
in the everyday.

At the heart of both of my stores is a simple belief: the things we choose to surround ourselves with can have a meaningful impact on how we live and feel.

With gratitude,
