The Gift of safety for loved ones or yourself
In the times of COVID-19, it has become so important to wash our hands, socially distance, and protect ourselves...but nobody said we couldn't do it ✨cutely✨. Why can’t our hand soaps be artisanal and our masks be rainbow? Here are some products from small WOC owned to help keep you safe and aesthetically pleasing.
I can’t believe we to touch stuff with our hands
F*ck Germs Rainbow Keychain by Desert Moon
I have been obsessed with these door opener/button pusher keychains. I honestly cannot believe I used to touch door handles with my own hands. 🤢
Desert Moon is a Latina-owned jewelry and accessories brand. Their chrome rainbow keychain is the perfect gift for a loved one or yourself. The added obscenities just make it the pièce de résistance. You can find them here.
Can never have enough hand soap!
Peacefull Hand Soap by Organic Bath Co
We all need as much hand soap as we can get, but it doesn't hurt to have it come with lovely packaging. I mean, organic, oil-free, and moisturizing is a bonus, but you know I am all about the aesthetic.
Organic Bath Co is a Black-owned all-natural bath and body brand. Their hand soaps come in a variety of scents and are great for sensitive skin. You can shop them here.
Perfect for a rave or pandemic
Gaudy and Gilded Mask by Shukuru Corture
Back in the day (pre-COVID days), face masks were a standard accessory in the festival scene. One of the positives of this pandemic is that now I can use sparkly face masks all time instead of just once or twice a year. 😅
Shukuru Couture is a Black-owned fashion brand. Owned by a mother-daughter duo, Shukuru creates stylish modest pieces with unique designs. You can shop their masks here.
Hand sanitizer FTW
Natural Hand Sanitizer Gel by Magpie Alchemy
Hand sanitizer has become my lifeblood during this time. I feel like a prospector during the gold rush whenever I find some while shopping. I probably just played Oregon Trail too much as a kid.
Magpie Alchemy is a Filipina-owned botanical skin and self-care company. Their hand sanitizer is vegan, non-toxic, and sustainably sourced. You can shop them here.
What did I say about hand soap
Whiskey Lovers' Soap Bar Set by Soap Distillery
You really cannot go wrong with soap this year as a gift or just for your essential shopping. Artisanal soap is so beautiful and actually useful, literally the best thing to give ANYONE right now.
Soap Distillery is a Black-owned sustainable soap line. All their soaps are themed around beverages from whiskey to hot cocoa. You can find them here.
Rainbow is a neutral color
Rainbow Tie Dye Mask by Hot Sundae
Many people don't think that Rainbow is neutral but hear me out, Rainbow goes with everything because it is everything. A rainbow mask goes with any outfit, any hair color; it is really the best option.
Hot Sundae is a Latina owned accessory brand. They are most known for their head wraps, but they started making super cute masks during the pandemic. You can find them here.
