You will feel like you’re visiting an aunty! It’s so authentic and she’s not just giving you the customer service version of herself. You will be like visiting her home. I’m assuming it’s all her family members helping out and her little son was the cutest. If you’re in a dilemma about who to choose then you should def support her family business! Also!
