I’m officially a facial girlie 🧖‍♀️😍 @absorbclt offers customized facials that give YOUR skin exactly what it needs and now I completely get the hype!

I had a facial from a chain location once and it wasn’t really my thing so I thought facials just weren’t for me. Then I saw what Janiese and Fran were doing at Absorb and I had to go for myself!

This was hands down the most relaxing and satisfying spa experience I’ve ever had. Catch me booking my next appointment right now 👀🙈

Book with @absorbclt and tell them Katie sent you 😉

Behind every small business is a person with a story.

When you choose to shop local instead of a big box store, you’re supporting the mom packing your order after bedtime, the family chasing a dream together, the maker who pours their heart into every product, and the entrepreneur who reinvests in our community.

These are the faces behind the booths. The people who celebrate every sale, remember your name, and truly appreciate your support.

Thank you for choosing local. Every purchase makes a bigger impact than you know. ❤️
