Importance of Shopping Small + My Favorite Local Businesses
Do y’all know what Saturday is?!?! Small Business Saturday! Wahoo!
I was born and raised in a small town. I’ve seen the same people work hard all their lives and provide for their families locally. I’ve seen community matter when nothing else did. I learned at a young age to shop small when you can. Our society is so technology savvy now. It’s as simple as getting online, hitting a button, and the package arrives at your door. You never even had to get up and get dressed, BUT let me tell you what’s way more rewarding. Spending your money to a hard working, locally owned business/family and seeing it provide for their little girl’s soccer season, their son’s first truck, a family member’s medical needs, and helping them live and keep the doors open Monday-Saturday. It may take a little more effort and time, but shopping with small businesses is the best way to shop. You’re making connections and helping others.

Hey y’all, I’m Fallon!
Carolina gal who loves Jesus, my cowboy, traveling, and a good cup of coffee. Spreading encouragement and my life's journey, southern style.
Perfect. Just adding surf and paddleboards to the Detour… after all we are a river town.
Island Inspired Board Company. The only place to get exceptional paddle boards and surfboard that are always hand made right here in Horry County by a Conway native. Thanks for a great blog and the opportunity to add to it. Blessings on your opening. We will be out to shop!
