I love supporting small businesses.  They play such a big role in our country. After starting a small business myself, I have SO much respect for the parent, grandparent sibling, etc who is  busting their booty pursuing their dream while also parenting/working a full time job. I asked a few weeks ago my followers on Instagram what their small businesses recs were. I made a list of all of your recs by category, including my favorites!  I apologize in advanced if I left a small business off the list.  I tried to add as much as I could!

My List

1. Likely To Letter || @likelytoletter –  This is a custom lettering/sign shop owned by one of my dear friends.  She used to be a full time elementary teacher and now is focusing on her shop! 

2. PS46 | @psfortysix – This is a jewelry shop owned by a friend of mine show I met when I first started blogging.  Kaci and I got the chance to meet up with our husband on a double date for a Reds game a couple of years ago.  She does this full time and it has been fun to see her grown.  Years ago we designed the “But God” necklace together and it is still one of my favorite pieces to wear with so much meaning.

3. Taylors Trends Boutique | @taylorstrendsboutique – I first discoverd Taylor’s Trends Boutique at the Covered Bridge Festival back in October.  My mom and I go to the Covered Bridge every year and Taylor’s Trends was our favorite! I had the pleasure of meeting Taylor and she is so down to earth! Her heart alone is enough reason to shop her boutique this year!

4. Mountain Moverz | @mountainmoverz – I love this boutique so much! If you are looking for a cozy sweatshirt or meaningful jewelery this is your place!!! This is a business worth supporting this season!!

5. Vics Vacations |  @vicsvacations – VIC!!! She is the best! She is our travel agent and charges ZERO fees. (No catch I promise)  She is truly the best.  She was able to come BELOW our budget for our Italy trip and just knows how to find the deals.  She specializes in honeymoons and family vacations (especially Disney).  I PROMISE you will not be disappointed.  She has become a friend to us! Message her on IG or on her CONTACT page. 

6. Hair Extensions by Marie |  @hairextensionsbymarie   – Marie is the person behind my hair! She is extensions only and has been doing Greatlengths extensions for 30+ years.  She is platinum status and is the person you want to trust! 

7.  Integrative MLA |  @integrativemla – Dr Pabla started this practice years ago and it a functional medicine doctor.  He truly doesn’t do it for the $$ and figured out why we couldn’t get pregnant for 5 years!! He has helped my friends with everything: fertility, allergies, digestive issues, etc. 

8. Miranda Frye | @mirandafrye – This is one of my favorite jewelery lines!!! I have been wearing her pieces for years and they do not irritate my ears and the quality is amazing! I love the ansley studs and the Ashton cuff! 10% off with code TALLBLONDE10

9. The Daily Essentials Co.  |@thedailyessentialco – This is a crualty free/vegan skincare line that is essential oils based created by my dear friend Jenna from @jennaskitchen.  Her Skin Bae line is FIRE!!!! 10/10 recommend.

10. Fig and Fire | @figandfire  – a nontoxic candle brand that actually works!! I recently became a fan and just got my order in today and WOWW! The candles actually smell amazing and leave a scent that is nontoxic. I spoke to the owner and she said she spent two years doing research and developing systems to make sure the candles burn from edge to edge, with minimal soot, and remained fragrant throughout the life of the candle.  10/10 recommend! 

11. Lily & Sparrow Boutique | @lilyandsparrow – This is such a cute boutique here in indy! They carry brands like Free People and Show Me your Mumu! 

12. She Is BTQ | @sheisbtq – I am so proud of how much this boutique has grown throughout the years! I love her stuff and the founder is a good friend of mine!!!
