My latest Etsy purchases! (And why you should get them too!)

The True Products Will Make You Get Your Life

I'm constantly on the search for new products to try and I love to spotlight Black-owned businesses whenever I can. You know, each one, teach one, buy one, etc. So on IG, I ran across The True Products on WeBuyBlack.com. They're a Black-owned laundry detergent company. I've heard pretty amazing stories about them and since I'm a fan of not using detergent that smells like soap and other sorts of
