I was super impressed with Adiva! My favorite product is the Lavender & Brown Sugar Polish. It didn’t smell like your average lavender… much sexier!
I LOVE Oyin Handmade Marketing! I love the landing page of their site, and the models they use for their products!! Megan and Eric were nice enough to give me samples!!
Unitees had great tees. I spoke to Aaron and he says they do screen printing for all, so just submit your bids through the website. My favorite shirt of course is the girl with the afro .
