Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Home is meant to be a sacred space. So when you finally find that space, it’s essential to adorn it (not fill it to the brim for all you hoarders out there) with things, details that aid in that feeling. Furniture is great, but it’s nice to come home to items that support you in feeling at peace, feeling your best. Warming teas, self-affirming items, zen-inspiring candles, cozy bath towels to offer that spa feeling, you name it. They can make a major difference in the vibes in your crib.

What will also make you feel good is knowing you can get those very items from Black creatives, all found on our marketplace WeLoveUs.Shop. There are must-haves in a wealth of price ranges, and with plenty of flavor (literally, there’s a coffee you need in your cart ASAP!). Check out 11 items that will take your space into haven status, all from Black-owned brands.

01 Body by Love Extra Large Bath Towel Set

It’s your crib, so feel free to sport an extra small towel if you see fit. But if you want to feel more comfy, cozy in your bath towels rather than cold and exposed by those towels you still have from college, upgrade.
