Morning beauts! Hope it isn't too stormy where you are. 🌩️⁠ ⁠ If you've been following me for a while then you'll know I'm all about supporting small businesses here at Inka. You'll also know that I live in the super creative town Southsea right at the bottom of Portsmouth. It's literally brimming with independent, quirky, thoughtful businesses & their owners. 🧡🧡⁠ ⁠ Here I am pictured at my favourite indie biz @littlecoffeesouthsea where I might as well start paying rent. 🥰⁠ ⁠ Anyway, I'm buzzing to let you know that I've written a blog about the 8 BEST independent businesses in Southsea (in my opinion anyway) there's a bit of a mix in there, pretty heavy on the food & drink. 🐷⁠ ⁠ Go check it out and let me know what you think.⁠ LINK.IN.BIO⁠ 📸 @leahmariephotography_ ⁠ ⁠ #supportsmallsouthsea #southseabusinessowners⁠ #supportwomenentrepreneurs #womenownedbiz #reduceyourwaste⁠ #consciousconsumerism #handmadegoodies #onlinestoreuk #buyonlineshop #supportsustainablebusinesses #hampshirebusiness #ukbusinesswomen #southsea⁠

I've written all of you lovely people a new blog post! This week I get excited about skincare routines which I regularly bore my friends with... please tell me there is someone out there who loves skincare as much as I do? 😍⁠ ⁠ I've recommended some really great high quality products, mainly from the wonderful @fivedotbotanics as I'm a huge advocate of their brand. 💚⁠ ⁠ It's really important to remember that skincare is very personal and what works for me might not work for you. ⁠ ⁠ I've kept things as simple as possible but please pop me a question if you aren't sure about anything.⁠ ⁠ Enjoy! 🧡⁠ ⁠ #veganbeautyproducts #veganskincare #simpleskincare #reduceyourwaste⁠ #ethicalskincarebrands #ecofriendlyskincare⁠ #ethicalbusinesses⁠ #femaleled⁠ #womeninbusinessuk⁠ #smallbusinessukowner⁠

However big, however small. Think about where you can make changes and make them a habit.⁠ ⁠ If we all do something together we will make a difference. 🌍 🍃 ♻️⁠ ⁠ #madeinuk #sustainablebrands #ethicallymade #femaleled #smallbusinessuk #creativemakers #slowliving #theinkaaffinity #consciousconsumer #femaleled #makersuk #southsea
