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

I love Etsy. It's like a form of crack to me. I try not to go on there too often because there's a 99% chance I will buy something. I can stroll through Nordstrom or Target and probably won't leave with something. But with Etsy? It's a guarantee I'll always get something.

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
