December 1, 2011 Dear Readers:
It’s December 1st and you still haven’t even started cracking on your holiday shopping. DON'T PANIC!!! Big Business shopping isn’t the only way to go this holiday season. In fact there are a plethora of small businesses to shop from, right here in our curvy community. Here you’ll find a list of some of my favorite places to shop small business for the holidays. Happy Shopping!! Love, N.
