Femme Fest: Why Shopping Local is a Rebellion Against Waste & Big Box Greed
Galentine’s Day isn’t just about celebrating friendship—it’s about making conscious choices. And this year, that choice is Femme Fest hosted by Pretty Skin Bitch & Renowned at Esty Skin Studio, happening Thursday, February 13, 2025, from 6-9 PM. This isn’t just another market. This is a stand against mindless consumption, against mass production, against the faceless machine of corporate greed that profits off our convenience while drowning the planet in waste.
Why Buying from the Maker is a Radical Act
Amazon, we see you. The warehouses full of plastic heavy, mass produced, soulless goods. The endless packaging. The carbon footprint of a product shipped across the world just to sit in a landfill when it inevitably breaks or goes out of trend. Every Prime order feeds a system that treats workers as disposable, creativity as secondary, and the planet as an afterthought.
Femme Fest is the antidote. It’s real people making real things, selling directly to you. When you buy from a maker, you’re investing in their craft, their livelihood, their story. You’re skipping the plastic, skipping the exploitative supply chains, skipping the landfill bound junk. Your purchase isn’t just a transaction, it’s a vote for something better.

Your Money Has Power—Use It Wisely
Every dollar you spend is a choice. Do you want to fuel an industry that treats human labor as disposable and profits off waste? Or do you want to put your money into the hands of someone who actually cares about what they’re making and the impact it has?
Femme Fest isn’t just a shopping event—it’s an opportunity to shift the way we consume. It’s about showing up, supporting local, and recognizing that where you spend your money shapes the world around you. This is how we fight back.
See You There
