HELLO MARCH!

  Welcome March! March is a good month.  Lot’s going on personally.  Weather (should be) getting milder if you’re in North America and with that, people in general will be smiling more. Don’t come for me, it’s true.  It is also women’s month! I’m saying women’s month yes but International Women’s Day 2024 is March…

LOVE YOURSELF AND TELL YOURSELF SO!

  To quote the one and only Ru Paul: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love anyone else?” We should love and be loved every single day of the year.  Know your person and love them the way they can receive it best or the way they know…

FEBRUARY:  Make it the month of you!

February is about love they say so why not make it about loving you? I recently saw the funniest post that read: “January was a long year!”  While it gave me a good laugh it does seem like it’s always the longest month.  I think it’s because January is THAT month for many.  You know,…

HOME IS THE PEOPLE: Cape Town is beautiful but my people were the highlight.

  My family and I have just returned from a month-long visit to Cape Town.  It was a long, stressful haul back.  Missed our flight (first time for everything), the new flight was delayed and once at the airport, delayed some more.  Furthermore, we were the people running to make our connecting flight because of…

IN VS OUT FOR 2024: A TREND I CAN GET BEHIND!

  One week-ish in and how is 2024 going for you so far? I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions, and nothing is more cringe (to me) than “new year, new me”.  No judgement, just not my thing and it’s never been.  Goals? Yes.  Aspirations?  Yes.  Start-stop-continue?  Yes-yes-yes. And no, those things are not the…

ANOTHER TRIP AROUND THE SUN: GLOWING WITH STRENGTH & GRATITUDE

  A short one to ring in my next 365 days.  Wow, what a year it has been.  One filled with many successes and many lessons.  It didn’t come without a few heartaches and tears but all of that said, I’ve grown beyond measure both inside and out.  The gratitude is priceless.  I feel strong…

SLOWING DOWN IS PART OF THE RECIPE: MY POPULAR OPINION

  It has been a while since I’ve had the brain juices flow to write anything. That’s ok, I needed to slow down. I knew my brain and body needed a break after being in high social media gear since early November pushing Black Friday, Christmas and then trying to close off all orders before…

BLACK FRIDAY SAVINGS ARE LIVE @ STRONG IS MY BEAUTIFUL™

  Here we ARE!  Black Friday savings are everywhere. I can’t believe that it’s mid-November people.  Firstly, because the temperatures have been mild for the most part here in Toronto and secondly, the year is almost over and there is still so much to do!  I was in Costco on November 1st at around 10am. …
