It’s been tough out there. Real tough for a lot of folks, myself included. For the times I’ve needed some peace, been trying to create a little space in my home that whenever I see it, gives me straight joy through more than one of the senses. So I treated myself to some new things that keep me on my shit. Support black & brown artists and businesses and shop small and local 🖤🔥🦄 @harlemcandlecompany Easily a new fave in the luxury candle department. Cannot get over how luxe these are and am bummed I hadn’t heard of this local NY brand before I started my candle research 🕯 @theopolisvineyards Wines from CA bc duh, gimme that delicious juice🍷 @benitoelsalvador Handmade I ❤️ Horror Movies doll, scooped up at @occupycityhall 🛸 @dorothybco BLM candle bunch and SUPER impressed with the quality and throw, totally affordable and will def repurchase 🎨 @bronxwitch Mini spell candles for some healing and reflection 🔮 @naturalannieessentials Nag Champa candle is so good. Official request for a HUGE candle version of this please🤞🏻 . . . And some good ol’ shouts for other things on display @snrn56 Made us this beautiful Day of the Dead theme shelf set that I love so so so much @gotham_taxidermy Skull & Bird taxidermy set . . . #motd #art #candles #wine #doll #theopolisvineyards #goth #handmade #shoplocal #harlemcandlecompany #candlelovers #taxidermy #dorothybco #astoria #nyc #natural #selfcare #davidbowie #blackownedbusiness #dark #vegan #halloween #homedecor #horror #grunge #spooky #wellness #candlesofinstagram #mua #dollsofinstagram (at Astoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCJtsuHBPi2/?igshid=1vb8kjcevoto9

NYC Pride 6/28/20 Occupy City Hall > Foley Sq > Stonewall > Washington Sq Park Art over at @occupycityhall. NYers if you can get there, they need bodies. Please show up. Community tag art at Washington Sq Park via #rayhands @occupycityhall @queermarch @justiceforgeorgenyc Pride was a riot in 1969, and it continues to be in 2020. Yesterday was beautiful and became horrifying once the NYPD decided to infiltrate for no real reason. They continue to hide their badges, beat, pepper spray and arrest protestors and for nothing more than a power trip. I thought for a moment folks around me, including myself, might get run over bc it got wild so quickly. Still processing today. Processing that I even had those thoughts and feel very lucky we’re ok and safe Thank you to everyone posting and trying to spread the word. Lucky to have been a part of yesterday’s amazing shower of love, surrounded by some incredible humans. And a shout out to the @queermarch organizers for trying their best to keep us safe and making yesterday so special. . . Stay safe out there fam. Look after one another. Wear a mask, wash your hands. Rest and repeat. And get to City Hall if you can! . . . . #nyc #motd #blm #pride #pridewasariot #lgbtq #art #blacktranslivesmatter #goth #loveislove #covid19 #queerliberationmarch #qlm4blm #stonewall #defundthepolice #occupycityhall #cityhallautonomouszone #chaz (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCB3oEyhCJa/?igshid=1hhdwsqvixi4v

Y'all know I'm such a sucker for candles! 🔥🕯🧯 I haven't seen many IG lists of black-owned candle brands and chandlers so thought I'd take some time to educate myself. I know some of y’all also love that fine wax burn as much as I do so enjoy!! This list includes companies that run the gamut from luxury to affordable, family-owned, vegan, small businesses vs large, etc...all of which are black-owned. I have about 40 on my list but can only tag 20 so I might make a part 2 later this week. Already made some purchases, can’t wait to try from the rest! This is just a small list of the amazing talent in the space. I tried to break it out by state so hope it's all correct! Thanks to those who shared recommendations, keep bringing them in (put em in the comments). Seems there are a few lists now making the rounds but they’re stunted from the algo 😡 Thanks to everyone who helped me! Please feel free to share and give these brands some love and traction 💸 NY @harlemcandlecompany @litbklyn @paigescandleco @bronxwitch @rebournenyc @amenaturals CA @poshcandleco @scentandfire @black_orchid_apothecary @dorothybco CT @naturalannieessentials DC @freresbranchiaux FL @sensualcandleco IL @airincandles @lillygrantlife NC @glowcandlebar @prettyhonestshop @brightblackcandle VA @unlaxcandles Misc @blkandgrn . . . . #motd #ootd #candles #makeup #candlesofinstagram #blackowned #vegan #crueltyfree #beauty #nyc #candlelover #homedecor #love #style #soywax #goth #cleanburn #handmade #art #blackownedbusinesses #wellness #womanownedbusiness #natural #shoplocal #brooklyn #queens #bronx #veganmua #soycandles #luxury (at Astoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTRxrOhfuJ/?igshid=w15aywufwkri

Queens Protest 5/30/20 Speak the fuck up. Show up, don’t be silent. White people, take cues from organizers and your black sisters and brothers at protests. You are there to support, not to lead! Be an ally, be an accomplice, be the fucking help. Use your privilege for change, equality, be present. And wear a mask, we are still in a pandemic. But don’t be neutral! #blacklivesmatter #queensprotest #protestforgeorgefloyd #queens #nyc #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforbreonnataylor #justicefortonymcdade #justiceforahmaudarbery #wasyourhands #coronavirus (at Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5TKUIhho6/?igshid=1wvrx12n9aimz

Made some bomb soup babies! 🍵 Sweet potato and sausage soup with spinach, shitakes, and quinoa pilaf. This is prob one of the best soups I’ve ever made. It is ridiculously flavorful and filling! Healthy, vegan, gluten free, and soy free. FYI, used the @beyondmeat spicy breakfast sausages and damn, these are versatile.
