Shopping online is something we've all become much more comfortable with, but we're also increasingly aware of problems with multinational companies, and how important it is for our money to support local businesses. So how can you easily browse online, and know that you're shopping and spending locally?

No New Year resolutions (because they are easily broken by dint of being made mainly from duty) but how about a simple challenge for 2017? One that champions independent makers and retailers? And lasts all year?...  Each Friday through 2017 I’ll be sharing a picture on social media shouting about something I have worn, used or consumed that week, which has been made by an indie designer maker, or bought from an indie retailer. This idea was sparked by a fab lady called Sharon. Her personal #frockonfriday challenge has seen Sharon showcase a fabulous series of dresses, often photographed in entertaining ways, and I pondered how I might similarly challenge myself in a fun way. Tidying up my array of earrings, I realised how much jewellery I own is from wonderful independent designers, and decided to broaden my options to include some of the great food, drink and artists I love. I'll make sure each week I wear, use, buy, eat, drink in a way that supports at least one independent - then share the best on Friday! Join in #loveindiefriday2017Interested? You can join in too! Either join me on a weekly Friday update challenge, or just do one Friday a month, or just big up an independent you've supported on whichever Friday you fancy. Use #loveindiefriday2017 on Twitter and Instagram, and hopefully you'll find some new indie loves from what I post. See you on Friday!
