Our very own Natalie Kayla Flores was interviewed yesterday about the TX HB 300 that was passed and will now be sent to Senate! Thank you to Lexi Vennetti for the interview🩸

Texas House Bill to remove sales tax from baby, female hygiene products advances to Senate HB 300 would add “tax exempt status to products that you might buy on a daily basis or feel is necessary for your own personal hygiene,” Mark Owens, UT Tyler Associate Professor of Political Science said.

So exciting! One step closer!!🩸

REPOST : “We are celebrating Texas House Bill 300 sponsor, Representative Donna Howard, as well as Senator Huffman, and other legislative staff and local organizations for their support!

Apricot Lane Boutique thank you for having us this afternoon and your donations! Also thank you to the familiar faces that have come by to see and support us!

This Saturday! See y’all there ♥️

We’ll be back 🎈

We had fun at our first packing party on Saturday! Thank you to those who came out and helped 💞

All period packs will be donated to Chapel Hill ISD and Kissam Intermediate🩸

Here are some examples of what we have previously used to pack our products into. The drawers (Period Boxes) are usually donated to schools, shelters, and organizations while individual bags (Period Packs) are typically distributed to individuals with enough supplies for one Menstrual cycle 💓

DM us if you have any questions!

Change starts with us! 🙌🏼🩸
