Shanda Ruminer

Maker and CEO of Love Logic LLC and DARN

Hi! I’m Shanda. I am a Gen Xer, an 80s kid, a Navy veteran, and a Florida native. I love my family and friends, being surrounded by bursts of color, midcentury decor, knitting, and needlecrafts, among other things that bring me joy and spark creativity.

I began making my own beauty products over 9 years ago, after a lifetime of
being inundated with gifts of mass-produced lotions and body washes and
noticing that they left my skin well-scented but dry. After creating a luscious,
effective recipe for skin-softening body butter, I moved on to lip balms,
which have become famous in parts of Kansas City (my current home).

​I have since branched out to researching and developing face cleansers,
serums and moisturizers for my acne-prone,  rosacea-prone, combination skin,
which I plan on debuting here soon.

I have also been knitting, sewing, and cross-stitching for over 20 years, and
I offer select limited edition items here, under the Darn logo.
​ Through Love Logic and Darn, I hope to share my passion and vision for quality, simple, effective skincare and classic, modern knits and crafts.
