Art & Greetings

Those who know me may remember my unique Greeting Cards and Palmy Paint ‘N See Events. As I overhaul the business to incorporate more artistry and craftsmanship services and retail, you can still purchase art prints and greeting cards from Palmy Studios: Gifted by Gab.

Affiliate Shopping

We all love a good shopping experience, whether you are searching the web for the latest Black-Owned pieces for your budding art collection or are simply looking hoping to upgrade your self-care routine with treats and storage solutions to last through the week, dive into this list of must-haves for the growing* and sexy. Please note, I do not profit from Amazon affiliate links at this time.

Reading

Browse through the shopping lists shared on the posts: 30 Things for my Thirties and the reading list inspired by my post “Grandma’s BookShelf“. If you are interested in my full book reviews, follow my GoodReads page below.

Cash Back

Now that couponing is not so extreme but necessary, there are a variety of programs to earn cash while you’re shopping (without opening a new credit card). I have used Rakuten to get cashback on airfare, swimwear, and all of my necessities for vacation and daily life. I love Rakuten because I can add the plugin to my browser so I can find the best discounts, or if I’m shopping on my phone, I use my app to compare the best coupon and cash-back combinations.

Investing

Now I know investing in the stock market seems very intimidating, but I have an awesome account that allows me to accrue investments based on purchases, I made and recommendations by their advisors. Beyond that, there are monthly stock parties where I get the chance to invest in bigger companies by simply logging in. There are a variety of ways to get your feet wet in the stock market with this app, whether you automate transfers, or make a one-time investment. And if even that dip feels like too deep of a dive into the unstable market, take the opportunity to build your secret stash with the linked bank account.

“Clothes aren’t going to change the world. The women who wear them are.”

-Anne Klein

I am a writer, artist and researcher who loves the Black Diaspora. Welcome to my little corner of the world where I share a little bit about what I’m wearing (where) and what I’m watching (or reading) with a few recommendations in between. You can also find some of my writing and art when you connect with me on social media.
