Hi! I’m Yelena, the owner of Hazel Slimes
Hazel Slimes began with my oldest daughter. She started making slime just for fun, and I joined her. At the time, we were going through one of the hardest seasons of our lives after losing my husband, and we needed something that brought comfort, distraction, and a little bit of joy back into our home.
What started as simple kitchen experiments quickly became our safe place — a creative outlet that helped us heal while giving us something to look forward to each day. We mixed, tested, laughed, and before we knew it… we were completely hooked.
We eventually took a small table to our local farmers market “just to try it,” and the response surprised us. People loved the slimes, and that little moment gave us the confidence to keep going.
As for the name? It came from my obsession with the color hazel at the time — rich, cozy, warm — and boom, Hazel Slimes was born. (No, no one in our family is named Hazel… we just really liked the color!)
Fast forward two years, and now I’m running this business side-by-side with my creative, adventurous kids. From mixing slimes to packing orders to creating new drops, we do it all together. It’s messy, chaotic, and full of laughter — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Hazel Slimes exists because of you — the people who support our little family shop, play with our creations, watch our videos, and cheer us on. Thank you for giving us room to dream bigger, create more, and keep building something special.
We’re not just a slime shop…
We’re a family sharing creativity, joy, and a whole lot of squishy fun with the world.
