Hippie Dabble started out as a blog with the intent to focus on subjects such as sustainable living, alternative energy sources, environmentally friendly products, social justice, minimalism, health & wellness, inner peace, and feel good stories.  As Tessa began researching for posts, she quickly discovered a world of information and resources already written or recorded.  For several years she worked to share those resources on the website and through the Hippie Dabble Digest.  Meanwhile, Mike was making and selling semi-precious stone bead jewelry and malas under The Bead Dude name. 

Eventually Tessa and Mike joined forces and added products to Hippie Dabble including incense, incense burners, and The Bead Dude jewelry that were sold at festivals, fairs, and expos.  Hippie Dabble continued to expand its product offerings, and on October 28, 2023, Hippie Dabble opened its brick and mortar store in Casper, Wyoming.  After almost a year, Hippie Dabble moved to its current location in the Atrium Plaza next to Donells Candies.

Hippie Dabble has recently discontinued the blog and Hippie Dabble Digest but continues to sell hippie-inspired products in its store and through its website.  You can read more about Hippie Dabble’s founders below.
