In this Black Friday 2025 live, I’m breaking down how I’m prepping for the chaos (because yes… it can get very Hunger Games, especially with certain brands). I talk through what I’m expecting this year with all the tariff/shipping/supply chain mess, why longer shipping times might be a thing, and how I’m hoping discounts don’t take a hit. I also share my biggest shopping tips: make a must-have list (products AND brands), browse ahead for surprise Black Friday drops, and sign up for newsletters/text alerts because the best discounts are often VIP-only. I also get into specific brand sale patterns I’ve seen over the years—like Sarenzo Beauty’s month-long Friday sales (and the VIP bump), Nature’s Little Secret’s typical 35–40% range with occasional email-only perks, and why I’m cautious-but-optimistic about what Sultanicals will do (usually around that ~50% off zone, but it sells out fast). On the product side, I share what I personally love and keep reaching for—especially Sarenzo Beauty clay washes, moisture mists, creamy oils, and even their natural deodorants—plus a few Sultanicals favorites (and my honest feelings on shipping and recent orders).
