July is here and we’re officially halfway done with the rest of the year. A huge majority of our lives have been drastically changed due to Covid-19 as well as the tiresome amounts of overt racism and police brutality that we have been witnessing over the last few months.

As materialistic as it sounds, the retail industry and how we shop has tremendously changed since Covid-19. In order to cope, I tried partaking in retail therapy at a few brick and mortar locations. I love online shopping, but was craving an in-person shopping experience that would allow all of my 5 senses to be indulged. My experience came up disappointingly short. Many of the retailers such as Nordstrom’s and Neiman Marcus were still carrying last season’s products with the expectation that they were going to be supplied with very little shipment of current season’s items. Many of the racks at various other retailers were bare and, rightfully so, sales associates were a bit hesitant to provide their usual up-close-and-personal customer service. As much as I love Sephora and shopping for makeup, currently, you aren’t allowed to touch any of the beauty products when shopping. A brick & mortar shopping experience might vary depending on what region you’re in, but where I’m located, currently in Houston, Texas, the shopping experience was nothing more that bland. Needless to say, online shopping will be where most of us will have to do our retail shopping for remainder of 2020.

I’ve put together a list of must-have fashion, beauty, and lifestyle items for the month of July… all from Black-Owned brands.
