SHOP SMALL HOLIDAY GUIDE

Next, look ourselves in the mirror, have the self-awareness to see what needs to be changed, and take one step forward to initiate the change. It’s time we get comfortable with the uncomfortable. That’s simply the only way we will get better. It’s the truly the only way we can move past social injustices and move towards becoming anti-racist together.

CYBER MONDAY
Hi guys! I am still not sure how I feel about Black Friday, so I did not promote any of the sales. Yes, there are some AMAZING sales that allow people to save a lot of money around Christmas-time. But on the flip-side, I feel like Black Friday keeps getting moved up each year. For example, many stores were opening (and promoting Black Friday) at 6pm on Thursday. On THANKSGIVING. So, we spend all day giving thanks, then spend the entire next day fighting over stuff we want. And to think of all people in retail that ave to leave…
