Tj Maxx

This store sells Ahava Dead Sea beauty products. Ahava makes its products in an illegal settlement in the Occupied West Bank of Palestine using resources that don't rightfully belong to the company.

These stores are enormously popular in New Jersey, and I'm thankful to have one right here in my own backyard.
