From the very beginning of Wild Roots, I’ve felt this pull to support other small businesses in any way I can.
•If I walk into a shop and have a great experience, I share it.
•If a friend owns a business, I support it and share it.
•If I see a small business post something that genuinely touches me, I share that too.
And y’all KNOW I LOVE nice people!! 🥹 If someone is kind and genuine, that’s even more reason I post about them or tag them in a story or sometimes even a full post.
I just love seeing people lift each other up.
Sadly, not everyone operates that way, some are more “what’s in it for me?” or treat others as competition, which honestly blows my mind! 🤯
Supporting small businesses for me has always been about encouragement and love.
I share, cheer, and lift others up simply because I care.
To me, support isn’t about a price tag, it’s about community, kindness, and showing up for each other.
I choose small businesses every chance I get because I know firsthand how much work and heart goes into them.
Lately, seeing shops close their doors, especially during these winter months, has been heartbreaking.
Sometimes all a business needs is a little extra visibility or encouragement, and it really does make a difference.
So here’s a little reminder 🤍
The next time you love a small business:
• Share their post
• Share your experience
• Leave a quick review
It literally takes a few seconds, but it can mean the world.
When you share, that small business sees you, and they are so, so grateful. I know this because I live it every day.
Let’s make this about supporting each other!
Tag some of your favorite small businesses below, ones you always have a great experience with.
Let’s lift them up together! 💛
And hey… where will I pop up next? In the spring I usually do more of this, because with this cold weather I feel like a hermit lol 😅
But I’ll be hitting local spots again soon and sharing the love ❤️
I’ll always be the biggest cheerleader for others, because supporting people and their dreams genuinely fills my heart ❤️
Friends support friends. Always!!
