20 Black-owned Shops Making and/or Selling Face Masks for Kids

I recently shared a blog post with tips for helping kids wear face masks, and wanted to follow up and share some Black-owned shops making and/or selling kids masks!

There’s a ton of great options listed here, whether your child likes Disney characters or fun patterns or plain colors or tie-dye or anything in between.

Hey friends! After sharing on Instagram about an Amazon dupe of the Lululemon Align tank and seeing how much you guys also love the Amazon version, wanted to share a few more tried and true workout clothes from Amazon.

Super excited to share that our home and greenhouse were recently featured on Apartment Therapy! It’s always super fun and rewarding to see home tours go live, as it’s a way to celebrate how far we’ve come in our space and it always helps my business grow.
