📖 It’s Way Back Wednesday, and our 1913 copy of Vitalogy would like to speak to the manager of your outfit.

This week’s threat to humanity? The WAIST BELT.

The book calls it “the greatest destroyer of health, life and beauty in the civilized world.”

A belt. With a buckle. That holds your pants up.

It then claims waist belts and similar waist-compressing garments kill more people than alcohol and suggests getting the LAW involved.

Imagine calling the police:
“I’d like to report a suspicious woman.”
“What is she doing?”
“Accessorizing.”

Remember, this is the same book that suggested gin and horseradish for menstrual cramps. Apparently the gin is medicine, but the belt needs a parole officer.

Modern Apothecary: come for the pharmacy history, stay for the 1913 fashion police. 😂

Historical entertainment only. This book’s confidence continues to exceed its qualifications.

Your purse may contain six old receipts, emergency snacks, and a lip balm from an unknown decade. But your cards? They can have their lives together. 🌸🍋

These pretty vegan leather card pouches from Bruno Visconti feature zip closures and cheerful peony, iris, and lemon designs. Perfect for keeping your cards together and adding a little beauty to your everyday bag.

A cute little gift, or a small step toward becoming the organized person you keep telling yourself you’ll be.

Find them at Modern Apothecary. We believe in you. And your purse. 😂

📖 It’s Way Back Wednesday, and our 1913 copy of Vitalogy has officially lost kitchen privileges.

This week’s remedy for jaundice: water steeped overnight with a bag of SOOT, then mixed with a beaten egg.

Yes. Chimney water with an egg in it.

Apparently, the breakfast options in 1913 were scrambled, fried, or medically concerning.

We have questions.
Who looked at a chimney and thought, “That belongs in a smoothie”?
Was the egg supposed to help, or was it just there for emotional support?

Another entry features a plant tincture made with gin. Because of course it does. At this point, we suspect the book was sponsored by a distillery.

Modern Apothecary: where your pharmacist’s recommendations involve significantly less fireplace debris. 😂

For historical entertainment only. Leave the soot in the chimney and this remedy in 1913.

📬 It’s Medicare Annual Enrollment time! Cue the commercials, the mail pile, and the overwhelming urge to ignore both.

October 15–December 7 is your opportunity to review and make changes to your Medicare Advantage or prescription drug coverage for January 1, 2027.

Even if you liked your plan this year, it’s worth checking how next year’s coverage fits your medications, doctors, and budget.

Happy Kraken Day, part of International Cephalopod Awareness Week! 🐙

Conveniently, we have Kraken merchandise AND a fantastic Kraken mural. Did I remember to plan dinner? No. Are we prepared for a mythical sea monster holiday? Absolutely.

If you’d told me in pharmacy school that I’d someday be writing Kraken Day posts for my pharmacy, I would have asked how that information was going to help me pass medicinal chemistry.

Life is full of surprises. 😂

Unfortunately, our Kraken never finished pharmacy school. Eight arms, zero licenses. So we remain closed on Sundays.

You can visit the mural today, but you’ll have to come back tomorrow for your Kraken merch.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
Just don’t let her check your prescriptions.

🤧 Sinus season has entered the chat.

This Sinus Relief Aromatherapy Bath Soak is basically an excuse to take a hot bath and call it wellness.

It’s handcrafted with essential oils including:

-Eucalyptus
-Tea tree
-Mint

The warm steam plus those fresh, menthol-y aromas can feel especially comforting when your head feels like it has been packed with concrete. Very glamorous. 😂

Each pouch is enough for 1–2 soaks, so it’s a nice little self-care option for cold season, allergy season, or any day your sinuses are being unnecessarily dramatic.

Now available at Modern Apothecary 💚

🍄 Functional mushrooms without needing to become the person who forages in the woods.

We just brought in Om Master Blend Mushroom Powder, a blend of 10 different mushrooms plus ashwagandha.

Why do people use blends like this?
- Lion’s mane is often used for cognitive and focus support.
- Reishi is commonly associated with stress and immune support.
- Cordyceps is often used for energy and endurance.
- Turkey tail and maitake are popular for immune support.
- Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, meaning it may help support the body’s response to stress.

A mushroom blend is less about one dramatic “magic mushroom” effect and more about giving your routine a broad mix of compounds like beta-glucans and other naturally occurring mushroom nutrients.
And the practical part: it’s a powder.
Add it to:
- Coffee
- Smoothies
- Oatmeal
- Yogurt
- Protein shakes

So if you’re curious about functional mushrooms but do not want to individually collect 10 jars and build a tiny apothecary inside your kitchen…this is a much easier place to start. 😂

Om Master Blend Mushroom Powder is now available at Modern Apothecary.

We finally have the charm bracelet connectors! 🎉 Apparently, “getting it all together” required a separate shipment.

We’ve also added NEW sports-themed charms, so you can wear your love of the game without committing to face paint or yelling at a referee. 🏅

Build a bracelet for your favorite athlete, your favorite sideline cheerleader, or yourself. Spectating is a sport, especially when you’re hauling chairs, snacks, and everyone’s water bottles.

Stop by Modern Apothecary and charm up your game day! ✨

🦊 Well, this is aggressively adorable.

We just got in these gorgeous woodland notebooks, and apparently squirrels, foxes, hedgehogs, owls, and bunnies have decided they are now in charge of office supplies. 😂

The little gold accents make them feel extra special, and they’re perfect for:

-Journaling
-Lists
-School or work notes
-Gift baskets
-Writing down the 47 things you absolutely will remember and definitely do not need to write down

They’d also make a really cute little gift for teachers, coworkers, nature lovers, or anyone who appreciates stationery that is much cuter than necessary.
