It's Monday!!! So, what am I thinking about? Well...December always culminates everything and gets me fired up about starting over and being better than I was last year. Now, I won't lie, a lot of my excitement for this month is also coupled with the excitement of being able to go on a three week vacation from work (I'm a teacher) but before I go and end this year with a bang, I still need to accomplish some shopping for my friends and loved ones. In true Normal Black Chic fashion, I plan to support these Black Owned Businesses, if you have not figured out what to purchase your friends or loved ones yet, I got you!!!!
1. Wrapologie. I am bias because this is my business!!! I am bias because this is my business!!! As a child I was always wearing headwraps, headbands,
bows and things. As I grew older and started to travel I was introduced to awesome fabrics and prints, to make a long story short, I married the two and birthed WRAPOLOGIE. If you are looking for headwraps, headbands, bows and bow ties for women, men and children shop here (completely affordable!)
2. Balebe Handcrafted Jewelry. Those who know me, know I love jewelry! I love the idea of adorning my body, it just feels right! Well, if you are anything like me or have any friends or family members like me, this is definitely the perfect gift. Balebe's philosophy is to believe in celebrating life through the creative expression of beading. Balebe does this by hosting special events, such as, Bridal showers, Birthday Parties, Waistbead Circles, Rites of Passages & Wellness Events where you can create your own one-of-a kind unique piece of art! This is a very memorable gift for any loved one, so book your party or workshop with BALEBE today! It all starts with one little bead...
3. Nzuri Watu Beauty & Wellness. Nzuri Watu is dedicated to providing consumers with quality and affordable beauty & wellness products. While using ethical fair trade ingredients, supporting small businesses and women across the globe! Nzuri Watu Beauty & Wellness is definitely a number one source for all of your beauty and wellness needs. This holiday season, gift someone whom you know and love the gift of premium whipped shea butter, that's my favorite!
Shop Nzuri Watu Beauty & Wellness.
4. ZURESH If you are an avid Normal Black Chic reader, then I don't need to explain this company to you- but for those of you who need to swing my way more often (inserts song--Shorty swing my wayyyyyyyy), let me introduce to you ZURESH, a company which creates natural solutions for all of your hair, skin and beauty needs. When I say that these products are AWESOME!!!! I can't even begin to describe to you what they have done for me without going on and on. So to save my voice and you some time, just read my past blogs 7 simple steps to Fight Adult Acne & 34 Annual Detroit World African Festival to hear how I've been changed- I know I've been changed! Zuresh is for everyone, infant to adult, thank me later and purchase a gift from Zuresh for your loved ones TODAY..... and don't forget about me!
These businesses come highly recommended (by me!), more importantly, these aren't just random products I found while searching the web- these businesses are owned by people whom I know and love or are businesses I routinely support. So now, I encourage you to do the same, before you go out and buy up some stuff, support your local small businesses, tell others about these amazing products & share the gift of giving ALWAYS, no matter the season or Holiday!
