A huge thank you to Boon Supply for sponsoring this post.
If this year has proven anything, it's that I have a serious number of people in my life to be thankful for. Some will come as no surprise: my little family unit. My momma. Lana's teacher, who is managing 22 kindergarteners from her bedroom "office" while her twin girls...
About those good intentions... It's easy to hope that your gift recipient will use that gift you thought so much about, but you can't always be too sure (especially when it comes to sustainable alternatives; people are sometimes...leery).

NINOBrand, one of my longtime favorites, is one of Philadelphia's most coveted brands. Designed in Philadelphia by Bela Shehu (and made in the USA), I'd like to say that her line is timeless (and it is)...but timeless is too often synonymous with 'classic' and that simple word doesn't do NINOBrand justice.
NINOBrand's clothing is, quite simply, very, very cool. It's...
Supporting small businesses has become increasingly more and more important to us here at TME — and especially now during a pandemic when small shops are really struggling. So if you are trying to shop small this holiday season, or if you are just looking for wildly unique gifts, this post is for you.
30+ Small Businesses With Really Great...
Hey Gang! If you are concerned with shopping small this Black Friday, consider shopping at Social Threads. This online boutique is owned by two New Jersey moms who are definitely good people. They have a killer eye and have stocked their store with fun, easy-to-wear pieces that hover around the $100 range. They're also doing a rare Black Friday...
We love small businesses over here at The Mom Edit, and this year — with so many hit especially hard by the pandemic, we're all making concerted efforts to shop small. So it's no surprise that, when starting on a regular 'ol gift guide, I was almost halfway through and realized that the products I chose were all from...
The idea of someone tearing open pretty wrapping paper (then hastily chucking the gorgeous stuff into the trash) kinda hurts my heart a little, especially when a more sustainable approach isn't that hard. It's very possible to be sustainable (and even waste-free) during the holiday season, and still have beautifully wrapped presents.

We don't normally shop for holiday gifts quite this early in the season. And in the past, we haven't directed our search for gifts specifically toward Black-owned businesses, organic, sustainable and handcrafted gifts. This year, is different, and we're doing all that.
What began as a deep-dive into shopping Black-owned home decor this year has been, for me, one of...
If you are a regular, ordinary, been-sitting-here-for-ten-plus-years metal desk lamp — abandon hope all ye who enter here — it's time for some fun.
Working at home has become the usual for many, and I'm here to tell you that a little Etsy lamp could make your 9-to-5 a whole lot better. I've rounded up a bunch of really...
Boon Supply is a brand that initially hooked me on their solid selection of (what I'll call) Prettier Home Essentials, but they're also a brand I'm happy to share for one other huge reason: they donate 40% of all earnings to a fundraiser/organization of your choice. We love brands who are committed to giving back, and have been really...
