small business saturday picks
a short ‘n’ sweet outline of alllll my fav small business sales happening this black friday weekend. happy shopping!
clean beauty & nontoxic products:
primally pure: my fav nontoxic skincare
My coupon has never been this big! Save 25% with the code KATE25 this weekend only. The perfect chance to stock up on your fav clean skincare or buy some gifts! (To make the most of your discount, I recommend taking advantage of the bundles, the skincare quiz and adding the coupon onto your already-discounted set OR the starter kit!)
finally! natural products for your man
Ummmm, probably the thing I’m most excited about buying this small business Saturday. FINALLY found a clean, nontoxic line just for guys— from hair pomade, to shampoo, to skincare! Adam will be so pumped. Everything is 25% off— but you can add an extra 10% with the code KATE10 for a total of 35% off.
ilia clean makeup
My faaaaaav clean makeup brand and 20% off this weekend with the code “UNWRAP20.” I love each + every item I’ve tried (the bronzers, the multi-sticks, the cream blush, the highlight!), but there are two products that absolutely stand out. 1) The Super Serum Skin Tint: I mean, WOW. Hands. Down. My favorite item in my makeup bag. Truly. It’s a foundation + serum + SPF 40 all in one. Annnnd 2) THIS. MASCARA: Guys, a clean mascara that actually works. Do yourself a favor and get it.
osea malibu:
This is a recent clean beauty obsession. I have been loving this family-owned, all-natural skincare for face masks, body products (their sea scrub exfoliant is amazing), and their probiotic scrub! (Coupon KATE10)
health & food:
hilma herbs & remedies:
Hilma: one of my fav integrative health must-haves. Clinically proven (!!!!) herbs in a pill-form that are designed by doctors and herbalists to add to your at-home pharmacy. They are doing holiday bundles with discounted rates and you can throw the THEFOUNDATION20 coupon on top of it for an extra sale!
branch basics:
Don’t know where to start in terms of switching to nontoxic cleaning products? Hands down I recommend starting with Branch Basics. You buy one allllll-natural set that covers EVERYTHING (laundry, bathroom, kitchen, hand soap…literally everything!). It lasts FOREVER, and I feel soooo much better for my health (and the planet!) using these plant-based cleaners. My coupon is normally 10%, but for this weekend only it’s 20% with the code “kate.eskuri”
my faaav (clean!) protein powder:
Nuzest is the protein powder you are waiting for—and it’s all 30% off this weekend. Allllll-natural, vegan, 19g of protein, and blends like a dang dream. And now you can try them on sale!
four sigmatic:
Okay, MAGIC. I feel like the term “superfood” gets wayyyy overused but mushrooms are worthy of the title. Whether you want to boost immune function, stay calm and limit anxiety, get focused and in the zone, or just want to help your overall wellness, I hiiiiighly recommend Four Sigmatic mushroom drinks. Annnnd their sale right now is insane AND you can throw “KE15” on top!
edens garden essential oils:
Mmmm, quality essential oils at a great price. Grab a few for yourself or some for stocking stuffer gifts for your friends!
paragon vitamins:
I. Love. This. Brand. You send a little hair sample into their lab, they analyze alllll your nutrients, and then customize a vitamin profile based off of your needs. save 10% with KATE10.
clothing:
vetta capsule:
I mean…you KNOW I love this brand, but they definitely are investment pieces. I know switching to slow fashion can take some penny pinching to make the plunge… but! Everything is 20% off right now. :) They very rarely have sales—so take advantage! EVERYTHING20
girlfriend athletic gear:
Mmmmm, my fav ethical & eco-friendly workout brand. (If you haven’t tried their Paloma sports bra yet…it’ll change your life.) They are having sales on sales on sales this weekend. Enjoy!
my favorite linen clothing shops:
Last year, I started purchasing more linen clothing as linen is one of the most earth-friendly, sustainable fabrics…annnnd a few Etsy stores have become my faaaav places to shop. A lot of them are having sales right now! I’ll tag a few of my favorites here: Love + Confuse, LineID studio, and Linenfox. With linen, I bought a few pieces…and then a few more…and have been blown away with each piece. Linen is sooo fun to wear because you can easily dress it up (I wear these pieces to work all the time) or make them super casual. I wear these pieces CONSTANTLY and love how they mix ‘n’ match. This is also a great chance to support some Etsy small businesses!
shameless plug (😂):
The Text Message Club:
Guys! I launched my first product this weekend! It’s a text message subscription where I text you a unique positive affirmation at a spontaneous time each day— giving you a moment to pause for a mental shift to gratitude, empowerment, and reflection. Oh, and also, it’s pay-what-you-can. :) Check it out here!
small businesses i love on etsy:
gorgeous, modern & sleek pieces for the home:
Loooove the pour over set and the wood log holder. Okay, okay, annnnnd everything else.
for the green thumb:
Little kits to plant herbs and microgreens! So cute (and such a good gift idea, in my opinion).
pottery pieces from small businesses:
Etsy is where I get most of my unique pottery pieces & mugs! I don’t have any set “favorite” shops as I always like to “hunt” and search for exactly what I’m looking for. So i typically type in a general vibe. For example, “homemade white speckled ceramic” and it’s ultimately where I get most of my pottery! I like to searrrrch until I find just the right one!
unique artwork & prints:
Gosh, I loooove this store. I think i have every single item “favorited.” Such fun, quirky, unique prints! I cannot wait to put some of these in our future kiddos’ nursery. :)
hanging ceramic planters:
I have gotten a few pieces from here and LOVE them! Full disclosure— the shipping did take foreverrrrrr, but the pieces were amazing!
unique paper products & cards:
Honestly, don’t laugh at me, but pretty much the only thing I’ve bought this Black Friday is a washer/dryer…and greeting cards! #adulthood. I LOVE investing in unique, fun, quality cards & papers to send to my loved ones.
linen pieces for the home (bedding, towels, etc.)
Okay, I haven’t bought anything from here yet…but I am sooo close. With over 8,700 sales and an average of 5-star review— I’d say it’s a great option!
personalized address return stamp!
We made one of these right when we got married—and I LOVE it. I think this would be so fun for a gift (for someone else…or yourself. I ain’t judgin. *wink*)
That’s a wrap! I wrote this post to be short, sweet, and to the point! I hope you love these small businesses (and get to take advantage of these amazing sales!). Happy shopping friend!
