Our thoughts and prayers go out to the communities in Nepal that have been so devastated by the floods.

Nepal has a special place in my heart. When I was 18, I bought a Lonely Planet Nepal book on a whim. A few months later I'd saved enough money to shoestring travel there in the late 90's, alone (and naive) to trek and backpack.

I'll never forget that ife changing trip, not just because of the incredible mountains but primarily because they are truly some of the nicest people on this planet of ours. Of all the places I'd gone in Asia at that time, Nepal stood out to me in my heart for the kindness and the genuine happiness I felt in their hearts, living with so little.

You can donate through Oxfam and the Red Cross Flood Relief.

Pssst!

We have a carefully chosen selection of

▶️Plus Size/Curvy clothing. ◀️

We choose high quality brands with proven fit expertise.

Please tell your friends! Most of it ends up on the sale rack because the word doesn't get around.

Don't be afraid to ask any of us when you come in- not fat shaming here! All bodies are welcome and loved and we do our very best to even carry extra small for petite women too. We'd be happy to show you our Plus size.

If they keep ending up on the same rack, it's going to be challenging to keep carrying it so come out and try on our inclusive sizing.

People know this brand- Blume are all over social media and we hear often-" oh I always order my Blume online". Yes, you can get it on Amazon, direct from them, and from Costco now.

We stand behind the brand and love their products. We've been carrying it for over 5 YEARS. It's a small Vancouver wellness company. When they first opened, you'd only see it in little boutique shops like ours in BC until they got bigger and hired an amazing marketing team.

But we still carry it, 5 years later and that matters. Please consider if you'd rather line the pockets of Jeff Bezos and contribute to the US economy, when it's made right here in BC, or if you want to support little shops like ours and many others across BC that have carried Blume Superfoods since day one. Every dollar you spend in your local community goes back to the community in a much bigger way.

We understand when they have big sales that are literally our profit margin, it doesn't make sense to buy from small businesses. Another way to undermine small shops.

Im sharing this today because I recently had a conversation about this with a customer who told me they had never considered that buying local meant more money in the community, BC, Canada and ultimately our tax base. I assumed everyone already knew this. So I suppose sharing and education is important as a retailer. How and WHERE you choose to spend your money has power.
