This has been a year of trepidation, turmoil, and triumph.
It was especially challenging for the entrepreneurs in my life, myself included.
So we gathered up some ideas to help make shopping with a conscience a little bit easier.
As a bonus, your social community will be able to see (and shop) them too!
With the future months uncertain, the same has been happening now with session purchases for the spring.
Shop Local Salons and Beauty Professionals
Salons have taken a major cut in business this year.
Salons receive commision from products purchased, which can help supplement the revenue they’ve lost.
They may also be whipping up their own beauty creations.
Small brands and small businesses only exist because of each other.
Kate Assaraf of NOAP highly recommends Goldune.co for sustainable home, lifestyle, personal care items, and more.
Aside from factoring in a products sustainability throughout their full lifecycle, they focus on inclusivity too.
If youre located in or near Brooklyn, NY, give cinchmarket.nyc a browse.
Everything available on the site is supplied by small, privately-owned local Brooklyn stores.
Orders are quickly and conveniently delivered (throughout Brooklyn and some of Manhattan) the next day.
This site provides the everything store experience that smaller businesses typically cant offer.
Their slogan, Shop Brooklyn, not Bezos, probably explains it best.
Another option we love is Post 21.
