June 30th Go Lightly will be closing our doors…
[Jun 23, 12 by
But we hope the spirit of sustainable, cruelty-free lifestyles will live on.
It has been quite a journey, one that many of you have been on with me since the beginning in 2008 when I opened Go Lightly and carried eco-merchandise and gifts. My idea was to offer sustainable products for every need. Then the economic crash in 2009 came and an ironic thing happened: People started discovering they needed less.
