Vincent Perry+FollowWhy Shea Butter Might Get Pricier SoonHeads up, beauty lovers and foodies: your favorite shea butter might get harder to find (and pricier). Climate change and deforestation are making it tough for Ghana’s shea trees to survive, so farmers are struggling to keep up with global demand. Most of the nuts are shipped out raw, which means local workers—especially women—are missing out on jobs and profits. Next time you shop for shea products, look for Fair Trade or locally sourced options to support the people behind your moisturizer! #SheaButter #EcoBeauty #SupportLocal #ClimateImpact #MoneyHacks #Business00Share

seanhood+FollowWhy We All Underestimate Local ShopsEver feel like your favorite coffee spot is just a tiny blip in the business world? Turns out, most of us seriously underestimate how many small businesses are out there—only 1 in 5 Americans guessed right! Even though we love our local shops and would be crushed if they closed, we forget how much they matter. Next time you grab a latte or a loaf of bread, remember: you’re not just shopping, you’re keeping your neighborhood buzzing! #ShopLocal #SmallBusiness #SupportLocal #MoneyLifehacks #Shopping80Share
Michael Austin+FollowWhy Your Favorite Pasta Spot VanishedEver show up to your go-to Italian place only to find the lights out? Bertucci’s, a longtime pizza and pasta staple, just closed more locations after its third bankruptcy since 2018. Rising food costs and fewer people eating out have hit even the big names. It’s not just Bertucci’s—local gems and chains like TGI Fridays are also shutting doors. So, if you love a spot, maybe treat yourself (and them) to dinner out before it’s too late! #RestaurantClosures #MoneyLifehacks #SupportLocal #Inflation #DiningOut #Business90Share
