Be you, always!

2024 Last Lap!  Last Push! 

  Last quarter, last lap, last push!  However you see it, we have less than three months to 2025.  It’s mind blowing how time flies and if I look back to the start of the year, I will say that it has been fruitful, productive and challenging all at the same time. Many will agree…

It’s May and first up it’s Mother’s Day!

Who else in the North is crossing their fingers saying “spring is finally here” and hoping it sticks!  Mother nature must have been waiting for May to start because the nice weather seems to be sticking around!

HELLO MARCH!

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?

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. …
