Healthcare
I do not have the best past with healthcare, but these businesses have helped put me at ease.
They have been the first people to really take me seriously and ensure they help me figure out what's going on and how we can fix it.
Healthtopia Clinics
I used to HATE going to the dentist. I didn't go for seven years. But this place calms my nerves as much as I could ever hope for.
North Park Modern Dentistry
Shopping
Mostly books with some other fun excursions thrown in!
If you like fiber arts, this is the place to be. I love their cotton selection and I love that they're right in Liberty Station!
Apricot Yarn & Supply
It's incredibly popular for a reason. My friends and I used to spend hours just wandering around the store during weekends in college.
Verbatim Books
I love the San Diego library, so of course I love the small business associated with the San Diego library.
Shop | Library Foundation SD
This store is so incredibly fancy it makes me feel elegant just walking inside.
Warwick's
Essentially a whole collection of small businesses! There's so much jewelry and art here. It's especially wonderful to shop at during the holidays.
Spanish Village Art Center
Services
Mostly vegan. All things beauty!
My friend recommended this salon to me when I first moved to San Diego! She's lived here forever, so I knew I could trust her.
June + Rae Salon
This is an entirely vegan salon. Are you kidding me. Incredible.
Studio V Salon - San Diego
It is so hard to find vegan gel nails, but that's kind of her whole thing!
Dreamy Nail Spells
Their technology is changing the game. Another incredible vegan nail salon!
The Best Nails San Diego
It is near impossible to find someone who is thinking about whether their services are vegan. I am grateful to have eyebrow services like this in San Diego!
Afterglow by Kae | Vegan Waxing, Lash Lifts, & Brows San Diego | Afterglow ...
Very gentle on your skin! She was literally trained by Anastasia of Beverly Hills.
