Customer Reviews
L.O.V.E.
Norma and Wendi take you on such a fantastic journey discovering the WHY behind our spending habits but even more fascinating the stories behind the special makers, artists, creatives that bring us the products that we love and cherish. Diving deeper gives me such a better understanding and appreciation for the retail space and channels my passion to know the what/where/why that makes certain purchases that much more meaningful. As a previous business owner, I also appreciate the focus on trying to understand the consumer behavior. Highly recommend you grab a glass of wine and give a listen!
