Shopping small is always the way to go. Here are some of my favorite small businesses to support that are owned by amazing and talented womxn!Â
- Bewitched Jewelry

Created by Audree Salinas, Bewitched Jewelry is a cute handmade crystal jewelry shop that uses a variety of crystals for rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Aside from being extremely sweet with her clients, Audree puts in lots of love and carefully crafts each one of her orders. If you are a lover of crystal jewelry, be sure to follow @bewitchedjewlrey on Instagram to place orders and stay tuned for updates, as she has a website in the making!Â
- Earrings by DC

Looking for a cute new pair of earrings? Earrings by DC makes the perfect resin earrings for anyone! Handmade by Danette Centeno, these uniquely designed earrings make the best accessory.You can even request a customized image for your own pair as well. I personally have gotten her “Green Butterfly” pair and they’re the best addition to my outfits! You can follow her on Instagram @earringsbydc and place an order through her Etsy shop here.
- The Earthling Shop

Created by Melii Lopez, The Earthling Shop is dedicated to making sure that her products are vegan and eco-friendly with plastic-free packaging. Melii implements her love for nature into every single one of her products, which are made with an intention of inspiring others to be more eco-conscious of our impact on the planet. Her shop includes handmade candles, soap bars, & art. This shop has by far made some of my favorite candles ever! I recommend getting her “Lavender” candle because it smells so beautiful and is long lasting. You can read more about her shop and order her products through her website here. Â

Everything about this shop is ethereal! Created and handmade by Alexa, so much care is put into every detail and piece of her beaded necklaces. Her shop shows how much she loves to have fun and play with different colors and styles. The owner is super friendly and is open to commissions through her Instagram @adaydreamingvirgo. One could spend hours on her colorful and dreamy website where she features her shop and blogs about her passions as a visionary.Â
- WhyKnotte
-
For all the macrame fanatics out there, WhyKnotte by Alondra is the perfect shop to support. Created in May after wanting to share her artistic side, WhyKnotte is becoming a well-known shop on Etsy and her products are focused around a neutral color theme that are loved by many. Alondra is one of the most hardworking womxn I have seen; she is very transparent and always interactive with her followers. She makes macrame plant hangers, keychains, wristlets, and is open to custom orders. Check out her products on her Etsy shop here.
Be sure to look into these small shops and support them in any way you can! Even simply sharing/reposting them on social media or referring them to others can help out a ton. Besides these five incredible small businesses, be sure to support many others out there as well, especially within your community. Remember to always shop small when you can!
