I'm Kayla, founder and proud owner of Shine On! In 2022, I took a bold leap and opened Shine On Boutique, and it’s been an incredible journey. I couldn't have done it without the amazing women in our community who believed in my vision and helped create the best preloved shopping experience in the Chippewa Valley! My passion for thrifting started when I was young, and I’ve embraced it as a lifestyle—it’s great for both the wallet and the planet, a total win-win!
I absolutely love the community we’ve built here. From our incredible team to our awesome consignors and shoppers, every day I’m surrounded by inspiring women who uplift me. Being part of this vibrant circle fills my heart with so much joy!
As a lifelong Eau Claire resident, I’m proud to be raising my three kids with my husband, Blayne, in my hometown. In 2017, we opened Ramone’s Ice Cream Parlor, which quickly became a local favorite. With Shine On, I wanted to bring the same sense of community and joy, and it’s been amazing to see that dream become a reality!
