What a great chance to support small businesses and stock up on some of our favorite products!! Today is the last day of Amazon's Small Business Promotion that's acting as a 'lead up' to Amazon Prime Day. If you're not familiar with Prime Day, it's a once-a-year event (this year it's Monday and Tuesday June 21/22) where Amazon offers some of the best prices you'll see for the next several months.

MY TOP FIVE - AMAZON SMALL BUSINESS PROMO
The below items are all part of the Amazon Small Business Promo. But that's not why they're on my list - they're there because I think they're fantastic products!! I'm all for supporting small businesses and when we have a merge of entrepreneurship and great products, count me in!! I'll let you in on a secret - I chose these products as my favorites BEFORE discovered that they're all women originated and led businesses. If that isn't the icing on the cake!!!
Who doesn't love to support women in business? I am always excited when I find women empowering each other! That is why I was so excited when I discovered the brand Bolden. Created by Ndidi and Chinelo: two women who saw an unmet need in the skincare industry leaving their corporate jobs to create a high quality line of products designed to meet the needs of women of color. Believing that true beauty comes from feeling good in your own skin, they named their brand Bolden, from the word embolden. This affordable skincare line that is made in California and features a full range of products for darker skin tones. On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3lFXJrW
Before my discovery of 'maskne', it had been quite some time since I'd experienced a breakout. Well not anymore!! These little acne slayers are making this list for the second time because they are just THAT good. I love that they are multi-functional...great to have for the kids AND the parents. Visit the Mighty Patch store on Amazon where you will find several different types of patches for acne and also for the dark spots left after a pimple is gone https://amzn.to/3vGX7Hd
Most of you have probably heard me rave about this product for the last couple of months.
Originally recommended to me by my good friend Lizzie who is a fitness instructor, LUME quickly became one of my favorite products of 2021. Developed by Dr. Shannon Klingman, this product actually prevents external body odor from happening in the first place by stopping the odor-causing reaction from happening on our skin. "THIS MAKES LUME MORE OF A “PRE-ODORANT” THAN A “DE-ODORANT.” On Amazon: https://amzn.to/311eBl3
Launched in 2014 from a small town in Mississippi by some very ambitious sisters, LilyAna Naturals mantra is Natural & Organic clean beauty through and through! Offering everything from Retinol creams and Vit. C serums to eye creams this line has effective skincare for all. What is even cooler than this company's ingredient decks is the fact that they offer minis of all of their products. Great for testing products before you make a bigger purchase, or having extras for your purse or to toss in your travel bag. On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3lD21QX
I'm so excited to share about this absolutely adorable company I recently discovered. Looking for the perfect hand crafted gift? Sweet Water Decor is a motivational & inspirational brand that started in the basement of its creator, Melissa.
Melissa's designs continue to be hand lettered so you are always receiving something truly unique. From coffee mugs, tumblers & hand poured candles you are sure to find that perfect gift or piece of home decor. I will certainly be placing an order and supporting this home grown company! On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3db9uoL
There are so many other awesome small businesses on Amazon. I hope you take advantage of the "shop small" program and support a small business and get rewarded with a $10 credit!
