About
Hi! I’m Kili Wilde!
I’m a 29 year old mama of three WILDE boys, a lover of all things Mr. Wilde, crystals, Thai, chocolate chip cookies, plants & supporting other small businesses.
Wilde Botanical was a “covid baby” after the serving job I was at decided to close down for a while during the pandemic. It was a blessing in disguise because 2022 was my first year being a full time business owner and it just keeps getting better with time.
My advice to any new small businesses is to push through the uncomfortable. There are always going to be times when you’re going to be in the spot of discomfort… you don’t know how to do something, you’re doing it for the first time, someone says “no”, you have weeks of no sales ect. but push through, because if you keep pushing eventually you’ll get out of that rut and you’ll grow <3
I’m so thankful for all of my customers and the community I’ve created around my small business. Follow my socials to stay up to date on events, promotions and pop ups!
Xoxo - Kili

‘Romanticizing the little things in life’: Santa Clara woman uses crystals to make jewelry and more
Written by Jessi Bang
“I just love crystals,” Keelee Brinkerhoff, owner of Wilde Botanical Company told St. George News. “I’ve loved them ever since I was a kid. I have pictures of me when I was little stuffing rocks in my swimsuits. I was like, these are special and I need to take them home with me.”
Brinkerhoff said her business was a “COVID baby,” born after the resort she served at in Ivins was forced to shut down. Prior to the pandemic closure, she had been a server at the resort since age 16.
With a goal to make earrings she would wear herself, she took $30, made her first batch of simplistic crystal earrings and began to sell them on Facebook to friends and family.
