I am very sorry I have not made a blog post in a while, I haven't been feeling my best but am feeling more inspired and plan to be more active about posting blog posts!
During this time it's especially important to support small businesses more than usual. It's important anyways because if we didn't, we would be stuck shopping from the same old stores we always do! You would never discover unique styles and super creative designers. You can also find things you love for cheaper, and make someones day at the same time by ordering from them! I have been looking into more small businesses recently and i've seen some really special and unique pieces that are super trendy right now too!
Small Businesses I Recommend
First off I wanted to share my best friends small business! My cousin/best friend just started her own jewelry business and it is so beautiful and affordable! The pieces she sells look just like what I see all over my Pinterest! Her brands name is HelloBeautifulByZoe. Go follow her on Etsy and Instagram and tell her I sent you XD. She sent me some of her products to review and promote so I have a first hand experience of these and I can truly say these are good quality and very trendy! They are so cute and pieces I would genuinely buy, especially for how affordable they are! Here is the link to her store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HelloBeautifulByZoe
Here are some pictures of me modeling these pieces! Sooo pretty I am obsessed.
Do your research
I'm not here to tell you all small businesses you see are going to be just amazing a legit and perfect. You need to do your research and make sure they are selling quality products for the right price and aren't planning on scamming you. (There are many big influencers who have made posts and videos about small brands they have been loving and recommend so go check those out)
Recently, my Instagram had a mini blow up and I started getting a lot more likes, comments, follows, and offers to be a brand ambassador for many "small businesses". I quickly learned many of these are scams. So the excitement was short lived. I ended up finding a brand that sells super trendy sunglasses and bags that I am OBSESSED with! Their name on Instagram is @azarioo.off and I would check them out only IFF you are willing to pay a little extra for them, high shipping prices, and a long wait. If you do order, use my code LILY40 for 40% off your order! My products have yet to come but I am assuming they will be shein or maybe a little higher quality. You live and you learn but I will make a blog/instagram/pinterest post about them when/if they arrive. So yes, I am a "brand ambassador" for them AKA I bought their products for an average price thinking I got a discount therefore making me want to promote to my followers they should pay way too much for items they could get on shein/romwe. IF i'm wrong about this and the products end up being worth the price I will say so in a blog post.
