#ad | YALL I GET TO LOVE BOMB MY VILLAGE TODAY!! 🥹🥹

Nothing makes me happier than being able to give back to the people who pour in to me, and I’m beyond grateful to @hamptonbyhilton for letting me give such an amazing gift!

If you’re looking to treat someone who means the world to you, consider the gift of a summer road trip with a stop at @hilton hotels. Because when you’re exploring America this summer, it matters where you stay.

Deadwood here we come 🤠

Amazon links have become so common that we don’t Amazon links have become so common that we don’t even think twice about using them, but should we? 

I used to shop from Amazon WEEKLY. Picking up little things here and there to follow trends or utilizing the ease of fast delivery to my door. 

But I never felt great about it knowing that there were small businesses out there that needed my money more. I just never knew where to find them. 

That’s why I wanted to create this platform! To make shopping small and secondhand feel easy and sexy again. 

If you’re not convinced yet, here are my top 3 reasons to stop shopping Amazon:
1. Sustainability- In 2019, Amazon’s carbon emissions (ONE company) surpassed that of the entire country of Norway. And it’s only grown since (like by A LOT).
2. Unfair Pay for Workers- Though they’re a multi-billion dollar corporation, most employees aren’t making enough to support their families.
3. THERE ARE NO ETHICAL BILLIONAIRES- I don’t want Jeff Bezos getting a penny from me 🥰

I also feel strongly that delivery services are the greatest contributor to the loneliness epidemic we’re experiencing today. We belong in public spaces, interacting with other humans at thrift stores and brick and mortar shops. 

If any of this resonates with you, give @romanticizingrach a follow so together we can find the best small business alternatives and hold each other accountable to shopping secondhand 🫶🏻

I only kind of mean it as a joke 😅😅

There’s nothing wrong with loving a trend and wanting to recreate it in your home! I get inspired by other creators and their homes on the daily.

But I do think that Amazon and LTK have made it a little too easy to copy and paste what you see in someone else’s home!

We’ve lost a little bit of the ability to be INSPIRED. I mean in a way that drives you to find your own personal expression.

I offer this as a challenge, that next time you see a photo of an interior that you truly love…instead of buying all the same things, take a deeper look.

WHAT about the photo do you love? Is it a color scheme? A certain layout or maybe a style of lighting?

Could you find something similar at a secondhand store that’s a better reflection of you and your home? I bet ya could! 

And if it really is a certain item that just ticks every box for you, then go ahead and find that link and get yourself that piece 🙂‍↕️

Social media and content is designed to get you whipping out that credit card every time you open the app. The coolest form of resistance is being slow and thoughtful about your spending 😎

Plus, your home will automatically become a better of reflection of YOU and not your fav influencer 😍

A home that smelled like ground herbs and browned A home that smelled like ground herbs and browned butter.

A home that filled the cup of anyone who entered.

A home that sang the happiness of its inhabitants.

A home more than the house.
