Shopping

Health & Wellness
You all know that I love a good fitness studio or juice bar! These are some of my favorites I’ve discovered so far, some of them will be re-opening soon if they haven’t already and if it’s something you’re comfortable with, might be worth checking out. Another option is purchasing a class you could use later down the line when things get a little easier! Juice Bars are always in season and so great for keeping your immune system strong during these times. Juice Bar and The Gem are some of my favorites.
Event Vendors
Although we’re not having a ton of get-togethers anymore, these vendors had to be mentioned! I know from personal experience working with these guys is a dream and they’re so beyond good at what they do! Whether you’re in need of some florals to spice up your space, or are planning an event in the future, I highly recommend the below.
