Small Business Saturday Round Up
Out here supporting friends and people I admire!
Good morning! This is an impromptu love letter. I realized this morning that I want to gush over my friends and people I admire so I bring to you a short notice of Small Shop Saturday sales that I would recommend!
Remember that Small Shop Saturday helps keep people fed, housed, and safe. I am here for supporting small businesses as much as we can. I am the product of small business owners and the product of living through income, housing, and food insecurity due to my parents’ passions. Support Small!!

TBM Skincare is owned by my friend Brandy! Brandy also puts on amazing challenges, retreats, and has a fantastic podcast. I wrote about her newest challenge, here. By supporting Brandy, you are helping a Black entrepreneur build her dreams, while also helping support keeping her and her son housed, fed, and healthy! They also have a pup who needs to be warm, fed, and well too. At TBM Skin, you can find gifts for the skin care enthusiast in your life.

Right now, you can get this for 30% off using code TWINKLE30 (good until 11/30/23).
Harvest Yarns is a crochet shop by my friend Sabrina. She transitioned from a tech job to this small business back in 2022. Her shop has tons of patterns and finished items. By supporting Sabrina, you are helping her keep herself and her mother housed and fed, along with stocking insulin for her mother. If you are looking for more options, you can visit Sabrina’s IG. There she has tons of available finished products. My personal favorites are the ornaments she has available.

Comment or DM me on IG to set up a time. Payment can go to Paypal, Venmo, or Cashapp.
