Beautifully arranged and easy to share, charcuterie turns any get-together into a festive occasion.

A Grazing Taste by Angie makes every celebration extra special — we offer gift certificates, customizable platters, and grazing tables filled with a mix of premium cheeses, cured meats, crackers, fruits, nuts and seasonal items, offering a little something for everyone.

Perfect for Christmas parties, family gatherings or thoughtful gifts, each platter is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Charcuterie also makes elegant, ready-to-enjoy gifts that show care and creativity.

A Grazing Taste would love to help you spread cheer this season with the perfect pairing of flavor, beauty and the togetherness that charcuterie can bring. Happy holidays!

If you’re looking to proactively boost your health while relaxing in a spa setting, The DRIPBaR is your place.

As Southeast Missouri’s newest intravenous (IV) vitamin infusion center, The DRIPBaR offers intravenous vitamin infusions to help health function well at the cellular level, preventing DNA damage caused by environmental factors that can lead to disease.

Owned and operated by family medicine physician Dr. Bhavani Vaddey, she says the body absorbs at most 30% of oral supplements; with IV drips, there will be nearly full absorption of the water-soluble vitamins available to the body via the bloodstream.

Learn more about The DRIPBaR's four types of drips, including energy boosts, accelerated recovery, anti-aging and aesthetics, and immune support at https://flourishwomen.io/2025/11/11/sponsored-content-rest-and-renew-at-the-dripbar/ ✨

“Every single one of [our heifers] have a different attitude,” Michaela Roth says.

“Kind of like people, we’re all different, so they’re all different. All three of those heifers have different things that they like, they don’t like and just how they tolerate things — they’re all different. And [it’s all about] just picking up on those cues and knowing how to interact with each one based off of that and just building that relationship.”

"Here, we are reminded we are full," editor Mia Pohlman writes in our Winter 2025: Rest issue.

"That we have everything we need. That free from distraction and noise, we can look around and see real problems and issues and gaps and think critically and creatively and with love about ways to change what we see that is not yet right. We can change what we see that is not yet right. Maybe it is not yet right because we have not yet touched it with love."

It's here!! Our Winter 2025: Rest issue of flourish!

Winter is a time when nature rests, and although it's countercultural, we can, too.

Here, we examine ways to rest and the importance of spiritual, mental and physical rest. May we incorporate this practice into the day-to-day of our own lives, and be blessed.

Fox Stoneware Mo is the creative collaboration of Sharon and Jefferson Fox, who hand throw and build every piece of pottery in their cozy Jackson, Mo., studio. From earthy dinnerware sets and travel mugs to driftwood-accented pitchers and hand-built lamps, their work marries raw, natural beauty with everyday utility.

Known for showcasing at regional markets, the duo delights in sharing their process — from digging local clay to firing iron-rich clay bodies and formulating glazes. Each piece captures the tactile charm of clay wares, inviting users to savor simple rituals in style.

Discover their latest creations in-person and snap- worthy moments online, where art meets function — one thoughtfully-crafted piece at a time. ✨

In Southeast Missouri State University’s (SEMO) Dramatically Incorrect Comedy Club (DICC), students like freshman musical theater major Brea Johnson take center stage in their comedy.

Johnson says she auditioned for DICC, an improv troupe on SEMO’s River Campus that produces shows often comparable to the early 2000s TV show “Whose Line Is it Anyway,” at the beginning of Fall 2024.

Auditioning alongside 30 to 40 other students, the group accepted four new members, and Johnson was one of them. Despite the competitive nature of the auditions, Johnson says she never felt intimidated because of the welcoming nature of the group.

“There’s a great sense of community [in DICC] where people are very supportive of you and let you try all these things,” Johnson says. “I don’t think I could have asked for a better environment to be in doing experimental comedy like this, especially with improv, because you never know what’s going to happen next, because it’s not scripted.”
