Fragrance is EVERYWHERE. It makes living a fragrance-free lifestyle a ✨task✨ especially with claims of “unscented” where they still have fragrance in the ingredients list, or trying to appear fragrance free by masking fragrance as something else. Half of the products we use in our day to day don’t even have ingredient lists readily available! Let me save you some of the struggle I experienced when I first went fragrance free. Everything in this list has been used by me, a person with a fragrance allergy, personally.

Do you ever just sit in awe of the things that come out of some people’s brains? Because I do. I love when they take those things and build small businesses with them, too! It’s just the coolest that we live in a day and age where not only can my friends create things and share The them with the entire world via the internet, but I can also share them with you and we can all have super cool stuff shipped to our doorsteps. What a time to be alive! Here are some of my favorite people and small businesses to support.

Books I’ve read and loved! I’m always down for a happily ever after, super cliche romance - but especially when it’s queer. I’m also a big fan of memoirs… and honestly not much else. Here’s what I’ve been reading!

Sometimes it feels like a chore to find a new queer book to read - so let me do some of the work for you. I can’t say they’re all 5-star, top of my list reads - but I did enjoy them all and hope you will too.

Grab your apple cider or your pumpkin spice latte, wrap up in a blanket, and tuck in with an autumn-themed romance. Fall is the perfect season to fall in love… right? 🍂 🍁 🍃

How do you get started shipping products as a small business? Great question I’d love to help you! Here’s everything I’ve used in the past that I actually recommend!

Everyone obviously has their own preferences for how their kitchen is laid out and organized, but these are some of my favorite items in my kitchen. I always look for organization, function, and looking fresh.

Supporting small businesses has an overflowing impact on not only the businesses, but the local communities they reside in. Here's some of my favorite small businesses with unique offerings!
