Online Shopping: 9 Local Businesses to Support During Quarantine

If you’re like me and being good at staying at home, you may have also had the chance to declutter your room and your house. In turn, this makes more room for new pieces from fashion and jewellery – and during these tough times it’s important to support local businesses. Having worked for two years supporting such businesses, I’m sharing the love on the blog and hope you’ll join me!
