I’ve been trying & trying to shop small as well as American made + luckily it hasn’t been as hard as I imagined. I have come across 2 very unique shops – both Arizona based that have become my new obsessions!

ZaainaSkincare

ZaainaSkincare discovered us  just in time for Mother’s Day! I don’t know about your momma – but if there’s ever free time when mine can be pampered, her favorite thing is a mask. What makes ZaainaSkincare stand out is the soul fact that these are dry masks {knowing we love everything DIY – you mix the powder with your choice of liquid} & this part I love! The first time I used the dry mask, I chose the Clear Skin Face Mask + mixed with milk for additional benefits. You can also mix with other liquids – but ZaainaSkincare helps you out with all that when you receive your order! You simply mix 1 part mask, 1 part liquid (tbs or so of each) & voilá! Purvi, the owner of ZaainaSkincare also supplies you with dry skin + oily skin tips, as well as other helpful facts when it comes to mixing your first dry mask!

You can also read about Purvi & her passion for what she does (much admired)!

OH! And – all the ingredients: natural & organic. Yup, that means no parabens, no preservatives, no chemicals, no animal testing & no artificial ingredients!

NaZari Jewelry

The next company, NaZari Jewelry – we discovered while working to promote the amazing IndieGiftBox! NaZari has become my absolute favorite online  jewelry boutique & is my style to a tee! With the MidWest being one of my favorite places to visit – I love being able to continue to browse the chic Mid Western jewels from my East Coast home. NaZari is all hand & homemade in AZ + a portion of all proceeds go to those in need {they are truly an amazing company}. I can’t even narrow down my favorites from their shop – honestly I haven’t seen a piece from them I don’t admire.

Every piece is my definition of chic…
