Buying from women-owned and -operated businesses is a phenomenal way to celebrate International Women’s Day. Beyond the fun bonus of treating yourself to something new and shiny, spending money at these companies can have a major impact on the future of females in business. It helps to keep these brands going, elevates women in positions of power and gives the necessary voice and attention to people who are all too often pushed aside. To help the cause even further, many brands (both women-run and otherwise) are offering sales and promising donations to organizations dedicated to lifting women up. Here’s what well’ll be shopping today...
