Happy New Year, I mean September! But seriously, September feels like a new year, a fresh start and I am ready for it. I’m holding onto the last days of Summer but I’m all in my Fall Feels: brisk mornings, shorter days. cozy sweaters. taking chances. evening walks… and this may be controversial but pumpkin spice is NOT on my Fall agenda in any form.
So here we are… above is my SEPTEMBER MOOD(board).
If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working on it - I have literally been stuck on an idea for this entire year and I am finally doing something about it. Keep reading to find out what I am talking about… and this is me encouraging you to keep working towards your dreams. You can do it (and I am always here to listen and support!)
… and now here are a few specific things I am really into right now:
I’m wearing …
Charm Necklaces
Is anyone else on the Charm Necklace trend? They’ve been popping up everywhere all summer so when my 14 year old niece was visiting from out-of-town I thought it would be a perfect activity for us to make our own. I used to do this in high school and hadn’t walked into these bead stores since, but here we were on Queen Street (check out Hi Beads or Arton if I’ve inspired you)... and how cute did it turn out?! Also, please take a moment and check out this tamagotchi charm by Kimberly Doyle, or as they call them: gemagotchi (which sell out in seconds each launch!) How cute!!
What I’m reading …
One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid
In this month’s Book Club I want to recommend: One True Loves. Also a movie, which I am just remembering now that I need to watch! Anyone seen it?
Another book to note: The Perfect Couple (that I am currently almost done reading). I wanted to read this book because the Netflix Show just came out and I always love reading the book BEFORE watching. Not sure how I feel about it yet… so will report back. Also, are you team read the book first or watch the movie?
I’m crushing on…
Scrunchie Watch Strap
I was SO hesitate to wear a watch. I wear very minimal jewelery and could not stand the thought of having a watch band… but I wanted to count those steps! (FYI: it’s VERY hard to find a cool pedometer) but thanks to a friend who let me try her Apple watch, I am not hooked. I think it’s thanks to this scrunchie watch band I use. It feels like I am wearing a scrunchie (which I basically wear daily anyways)! It comes in a 3-pack and there are some pattern variations.
ICYMI -
SO what have I been STUCK on? (pun intended here).
Well, exciting things are happening in the sticker world (and this is just the beginning!!) Stickering has been a fun and nostalgic but also mindful and creative activity I have been doing this past year. I have been posting some of the sticker collages I’ve been designing and I’m excited to share that I am now offering Sticker Collage Events with the goal to create experiences centred around stickers.
Stickering is a mess-free, creative, and mindful activity. Sticker art is a non-intimidating form of self-expression that’s guaranteed fun! The possibilities are endless from birthday parties to social and corporate events: think stickering with your besties, think wine and stickers, how about a team building activity with your office, a Holiday Party activity, or a personalized PR launch event.
There are so many ways to customize a sticker event to make it a truly unique one-of-a-kind event! I can't wait to bring people together through stickers and I can’t wait to sticker with you!
