Gifts for Her: Your Best Friend, Mom, or Sister

Gifts for Her: Your Best Friend, Mom, or Sister

It feels weird for it to already be heading into the holiday season – but here we are. I suppose it’s so strange feeling because of how strange this entire year has been. COVID-19 has really made it feel like we’ve just permanently been in March – rather than being in the middle of November.  Nonetheless, this is a very magical, beautiful, and festive time of year and I plan on celebrating it to the fullest – whether that means we’ll be able to spend it without families or we’ll have to conference call to our loved one has yet to be determined.   

Gifts for Her: Your Best Friend, Mom, or Sister

Bath Products

So often women put themselves on the back-burner when it comes to self-care and taking time for themselves. That’s why bath products are such a thoughtful gift. It’s a total luxury and it gives them some time to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet. 
 
 

Comfy WFH Loungewear

Now that many of us are working from home the whole “daily dress up” thing has been thrown out the window. I don’t know about you guys, but I pretty much live in comfy clothing now. In fact, while I write this I am in my Smash and Tess Friday romper (my personal favorite during the winter). Here are a few more cute loungewear pieces you could give to your bff, mom, or sis. 
 
 

Pyjama Sets

I love a good set of cozy + super comfy pjs.  I’ve always loved pjs but since COVID, I’d say I’ve gotten even more pj-obsessed. Pajamas are a great gift because they give a little comfort and relaxation to whoever you’re giving them to.

Happy International Women’s Day! Thank you to al Happy International Women’s Day! Thank you to all the incredible women who have used their voice to speak up, even when it’s unpopular to do so.

Thank you to the women who lend their voices to thoughtful discussion. You’re opening space for conversation and growth for people today and for future generations. You all inspire me. 💛 #happyinternationalwomensday

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
