Why is shopping local important to you?
First of all, shopping at local businesses generates more money that is kept within the community. Most local businesses often use or buy from local service providers, companies, and so on. Shopping locally helps grow other local businesses as well as the region’s tax base.
What are your favorite kind of gifts to give?
It depends on the person. For women, I usually give them a perfume or a retail gift card. For my male friends I give them a bottle of Ciroc or a Cologne. For children, I buy them clothes or give them gift cards.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
Once upon a time on my birthday, I received an expensive handbag, eyewear, and necklace from my guy friend. I was not expecting it at all and I was in complete shock.
How did you pick your items?
I started by exploring the BIPOC-Owned category and then I navigated over to the Makers' page and I then navigated back to the Beauty and Wellness Category from the home page. I chose five Beauty and Wellness products that I feel are perfect holiday gifts. I am always looking for organic or handmade products that I can add to my skincare routine.
