Supporting local women-owned small businesses has never been more important in today's rapidly evolving business landscape. As a female-run business owner, I understand mutual support's importance. These enterprises contribute to the local economy and represent the aspirations, hard work, and dedication of women entrepreneurs. By supporting these businesses, you are making a difference in your community and empowering women to achieve their dreams. So many of us have to up and move with starts and stops, and the challenges are unimaginable, but we do it because we love our careers, and our passion drives us to push.
Supporting local women-owned small businesses is not just about making a purchase; it's about making a statement. By patronizing these establishments, you're positively impacting the lives of women entrepreneurs, the community, and future generations. So, the next time you're looking for a café to unwind, a unique boutique to shop, or a spa to relax, consider exploring the wonderful women-owned businesses in your neighborhood. Your support can create a ripple effect of empowerment and change, making your community an even better place to live and thrive.
I have used these services personally and believe in them 100%. These women offer the support I need, and they can do the same for you!

GLOWinOKI: "One Candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."
"My hope is that with every glow candle, you find natsukashii - nostalgia - the joy and gratitude of fond memories, the feeling of place a scent can transport you to instantly, and the love that surrounds you every day. " - Jennifer
I have always disliked candles with tons of chemicals and the gross residue they left in my home. With small children and pets, I chose not to purchase candles anymore. UNTIL... I discovered GlowinOki and their candles gave me soothing scents with gorgeous vases. This has become a regular use in our home and studio. Visit them at the Fleet Shop on Shields, or if you're leaving the island, check them out online. THEY SHIP!
