Buy Black: A 2020 Holiday Gift Guide
As we start to get ready for the holidays, I put together a #BuyBlack holiday gift guide that is filled with home and décor items, health and beauty, and so much more. This list includes all things that make me feel good, so I hope they can make you or the person you're buying them for feel good too.
Also, if you're looking to shop local (in Ohio), make sure you pay close attention to the location next to the business name. With that, I wish you luck. Keep your wallets ready, and happy shopping!
