As a small business owner, I enjoy supporting other small businesses.
Since my hubby started his own company back in 2016, We've met so many other amazing small business owners in and around Sudbury, On.
It's fantastic to see how many local businesses there really are in this city! More than I could have imagined to be honest with you. From health and beauty to the most unique items you could think of, there's a small business out there!
After interacting and purchasing from many small local business owners, I decided to create this blog. It's not my usual blog.. but this blog is to promote other small business owners in an easy, effective way.
Each business is subcategorized under the type of business they are considered, have my own personal review/recommendation, a little bit about them and a link to shop their items! All businesses are located in Sudbury, Ontario or surroundings.
Hope you enjoy and happy local shopping!
HEALTH AND BEAUTY
Laura Gervais Nails
Custom Press-on Nails
$$-$$$
Personal Review/Recommendation: I first purchased from Laura Gervais Nails back in the summer of 2021. My hubby and I had a wedding to attend and as a mom, I just didn't have the time to go to a salon to have them done. I wanted something fun and different.. something I couldn't "just paint myself". I went over to Laura's Instagram page for inspiration, I sent her a message and she was very prompt to reply and was super easy to work with! Her turn around time was super quick, which I was very thankful for as I waited till last minute to order.
The nails were PERFECT, I can't express enough how real they actually looked! They were extremely simple to apply, were mess FREE and lasted 4 weeks before I had to remove them myself due to growth!! Not ONE fell off! Have you ever had press-on nails not fall off after a few hours? Want those salon nails, without going to the salon, or paying salon prices?

BABY/KID SHOPS
CG Neutrals
Mama owned, Baby & Children Clothing
$-$$
Personal Review/Recommendation: As a boy mom, shopping for my son for the past almost three years have been a nightmare. Every shirt has a picture or quote, every pair of pants is either jogging pants, dress pants or jeans. Trying to find neutral clothing has been what feels like impossible... until a few months ago, when Lisa opened her own neutrals shop for babies and kids! The collections she curates together for pre-order are absolutely stunning and the quality of the clothing is fantastic. She has styles and sets that are neutral to both girls and boys! She also has seasonal collections which are the absolute CUTEST. I highly recommend checking out her newest collection the "simple collection" dropping February 8, 2022.

About CG Neutrals: "I am a mama to a 4 month old boy and an adorable rescue dog. Happily married to my high school sweetheart. I started my business to bring modern neutral clothing and accessories specializing in boy and gender neutral items to all other parents. It has always been a passion of mine and I am so honored to have the opportunity to personally curate unique collections for others to enjoy." - Lisa, Owner of CG Neutrals.

About Grace Thrifts: "My name is Cerina Grace Furlani, hence the name “Grace” Thrifts. I started this business shortly after COVID-19 caused a full lockdown in March of 2020. I found myself always looking for something to do as suddenly almost all my hobbies and socializing were gone. One day stumbled upon a few thrift pages and thought, I could do this too. Home interior design, DIY and thrifting are all passions of mine so I’ve put the three together to create Grace Thrifts. On my page you will find home inspiration photos, thrifted items, flipped pieces or homemade items such as my hand poured candles. I truly love what I do and hope to continue growing so that flips and interior design can be my full time career." - Cerina, Owner of Grace Thrifts.
APPARELS
Embroidery by Lexx
Mama owned, Custom Apparel.
Personal Review/Recommendation: When starting your own company, one of the most important things to invest in is advertisement. What better way to advertise then apparel? Embroidery by Lexx helped make our vision for our apparel come to life for No Limit. We sent her the logo, how big and where we wanted each logo and name (for the personalized ones) and she beyond delivered! Her turn around time was faster than we expected and each hoodie had outstanding quality! Not only did she go above and beyond but she was also a delight to work with! Super understanding, detailed and made sure we got exactly what we had asked for! Check out Lex's Instagram page, link posted above!
About Embroidery by Lexx: "Mom of 2 boys, who has opened an embroidery business to be at home with my kids. I can create almost anything on apparel. I also own an online thrift store!" - Lex, Owner of Embroidery by Lexx.
