Inspiration: August 23 >> Life In Limbo

I just think this new campaign from WealthSimple is the literal definition of being on brand. So smart and quirky and practical and funny. And would make me feel better about being a customer of theirs.

The Good Yolk’s weekly newsletter is always fun and fresh. I particularly liked last week’s email.

My mind was blown by this podcast episode about the concept of “secondary gains”. It’s only been a couple days and it’s already filtered into my vocabulary and mindset in a big way.

Super clever hacks for sharing links on Instagram if you don’t have the blessed Swipe Up feature!

I read my sister’s copy of Genius Recipes last weekend and was very inspired. It made me want to cook elaborate things again, like I did in university (hey cinnamon buns, hey chocolate ice cream, hey that crazy cake). Their website is also a great resource.

Make Lemonade finally spilled a bit more juice about the something juicy campaign! I have been so into how they’re handling the marketing for this and so happy to be a part of it.

This week’s blog posts: Summer’s Not Over, Intentional Self-Care, and Inspiration is Optional.

And over on my business blog, I’m giving you a tour of my all-time favourite product, The Appothecary, and how it helps you find better business systems. (It’s also on IGTV, if you’re into that kind of thing)


I’m soaking up the last of summer! I finally feel like I have a bit of bandwidth back, and I’m using it to get outside every day, do my work in new fun places, and go out for ice cream. It’s been nice to get back to my routines, eat more greens, and start to feel more grounded again. This weekend I’m prepping for and then helping to host a bridal shower for my friend Laura! In between all that, I’ll be hanging out with the dog, reading a book, and soaking up the sunshine. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too! xo.
