Shop Small Saturday & Beyond

Happy Saturday!

It's Small Business Saturday

I love supporting small businessess especially women and minority owned and I try to highlight those new ones I discover because they really are awesome.

I hope you were able to support Corvega that I highlighted yesterday in my Black Friday post. They are part of the We Are Women Owned Virtual Holiday Pop-Up which features women-owned small businesses. So if you haven't checked them out yet, below is some earring candy to entice you.


An easy one stop shop for Small Business Saturday is the We Are Women Owed Virtual Holiday Pop-Up. I've been going the last few years but this year is online. They have everything from accessories and clothes to boozy truffles. Yum! 😏

Below I share some of my faves not at the Pop-Up. So, let's get into some of my favorite small businesses to share with you today.

For my beauty lovers.... Pretty Well Beauty

I saw this clean beauty brand at the We Are Women Owned Holiday Pop-Up Shop and I got to meet the owner there, who handpicks each item. She explained to me that she and her staff test each product themselves! She was able to tell me about the products, exactly what was in them, how they feel and who they work best for and why.




I didn't buy that day but with COVID-19 I've worked hard to purchase from the small businesses I've encountered so I made my first Pretty Well Beauty purchase last week and I'm excited for it to arrive. They have face scrubs, moisturizers, make-up and teas, drinks and other health items and so much more. Beauty is more than the outer and they treat the whole body.

If you have a clean beauty, whole body, good for the planet enthusist Pretty Well Beauty is your stop.

For my fashion lovers.... Arteaga

When I first say this brand it was love at first sight! The quality of the clothes, the brand story, the owner they hit the trifecta of what you want in a clothing brand. They are a New York based brand 💕, the clothes are handmade and when you talk about passion for what you do... its off the charts here. 




I first saw this brand at a Summer Pop-Up - Pop-Ups are the beauty of living in a fashion mecca- the owner was wearing this beautiful green dress and it was like gravity pulled me there. The only reason  I didn't buy then was that I went with a budget and I wasn't going to break it. In hindsight I should have just pulled the trigger. Lol. 

If you have someone on your list who wants their clothes to mean something Artega is the place.

For my shoe lovers.... ABLE

I have talked about ABLE a lot this year. COVID hit them hard but they were able to continue operations because of their clients who supported them to keep them going. I'm proud to say I'm one of those clients.



They are a sustainable fashion brand based in Nashville, TN. All its items are handmade and they have more than shoes, they have clothes, handbags and jewelry too. I love their mission to support women artisans and its a good quality product. See the boots and flats I have in my closet right now from ABLE, that I love!, and support them.

ABLE really is a one stop shop spot for many of the ladies on your list and you'll feel good about your purchase.

For  my lover of accessories.... Melissa Sonico

So, did you know that Madewell supports a collective of small batch owned products from makers and creatives? Well now you do. Lol. While Madewell is not a small business, Melissa Sonico is. She is a creative in California who is their newest Hometown Hero and she makes beautiful  handcrafted bold-meets-minimalist jewelry.

The minute I say the necklace below I wanted it. Lol. 


If you (or anyone of your gift list) are like me minimalist, unqiue and handcrafted pieces are right up your alley and so is Melissa Sonico. Plus, check out the other Hometown Heroes over on a Madewell.
