Fact: most well-known brands once started off as a small business.

One of my favorite things about shopping small is that I can almost always count on quality with a personal touch. Check out some of my fave small businesses here, and check out FREE ways to help support them, on the last slide!

Disconnect + Decompress

Equal parts home decor and mental health advocacy: GROUNDED is a great small business for Plant-loving newbs AND pros alike! They have amazing options and even offer 1 on 1 access to a plant specialist upon purchase!

Coffee Lovers Unite!

This has been one of my favorite coffee companies for the last 4 years. Their flavors are top notch, and they even make K-cups for Keurig machines! 

"The Goddess of Cheesecake"

This Black woman-owned small business is one of the ones I think of whenever I'm in the mood to treat myself! Personal sized mini cheesecakes in small mason jars? Yes please! 

REFUSE TO BLEND IN

This size-inclusive Latinx-owned clothing boutique is my go-to for whenever my wardrobe needs a refresh. I'm obsessed with their cardigans and dresses!

Bright, Clean, and  Black-Owned

Free of toxins and featuring wood wicks, lighting their candles is a full experience! Each scent profile is on point, and each candle's name embraces cultural excellence.

The Perfect Drinking Partner

Whether you're an avid iced coffee drinker, smoothie fanatic, or love keeping your hot cup of joe...hot, the JAVASOK is the perfect accessory!  It also helps to keep your cup holder dry from condensation, too!

RETRO MODERN POP ART

As a movie buff, I love these unique midcentury-style minimalist reimagined movie (and some TV show) posters!  Like the style but don't see one you like? They offer custom posters, too! *chef's kiss*
