I think feeling your emotions is an important part of the human experience. But in certain contexts it’s great if you get yourself out of the mood you are in.
Sharing a few hacks on how to change your mood – quick!
Today’s post is a quickly, but I wanted to just share that today was a great day. I was very intentional and it manifested in productivity, professionalism and amazing time with friends.
This is exactly how I am meant to feel and be 🧿

I’ve noticed recently this cute party with friends idea which is a take on the classic potluck!
Instead of having your friends bring a slow cooked or oven baked meal, have them bring a board.
Some board ideas include:
Sharing a beginner charcuterie board that I made for a get together recently. Super easy to put together and the best part of finding a creatively aesthetic of putting it all together 🎀

Toronto is a great city and there are no end to the fun, festive and free things to do around the city during the holiday season! Be sure to bundle up and be sure to check out the list below on some ideas on how to enjoy the season (on a budget)!
*NOTE* images are not mine and have been referenced below.
Distillery District
The last time I went to the Winter Village was 2019, and the photographer in me wants to re-create this magic through my lens! This place is full of beautiful sights (every corner is perfect for a selfie) and tastes (thank you coffee and chocolate)! Entrance is free on weeknights before Dec 27th + children under 9 are free of charge!
Holiday Yorkville Village
Yorkville is beautiful any time of year, but having it all lit up makes it amazing. The best photo op would be in the light tunnel! And the christmas tree totally gives Rockefeller Center vibes!
Skating at Nathan Phillips Square
This rink is ALWAYS jam packed so keep the little ones close to you and on the edge of the rink. The best part about skating here (other than – it’s FREE as long as you bring your own skates and snacks) is the MUSIC. Whether it’s 90s christmas pop or top 40, you’ll have a great time whipping across :)
Hudson’s Bay & Fairmount Royal York Hotel Windows
Miniature displays and twinkling lights? Sign me up! I’ve yet to check our the Royal York windows but I’ve heard that they are enchanting. Grab your mocha or hot chocolate and enjoy the stroll past these beautiful displays!

I love reading productivity and lifestyle hacks! But when they are written in the form of lists – they make it easier to follow! It’s almost like a mental checklist that I can create in my head and tick off the things that I am already doing and then plan for the things I want to try.
Sharing a list of 50 ways to LEVEL UP. From accessorizing your outfits to planning your week, this list includes tons of ways to do and be better. And even though it’s not in your face obvious, all of these activities help to nourish your mind and soul so you can show up and be your best self!
Would love to hear if you try any of these out! Or maybe what you’d add to the list?

Happy December 1st! Long time no talk ;)
I’m one of those (analogue) people who looooooooves scrolling through the archives of a blog. I love seeing the beginning of people’s stories. I find it inspiring.
When it comes to my own blog, I NEVER look through the archives. I find it so cringe that I end up making my older blog posts private!
But at least I have them there, I have the stories and the ideas from the beginning. And really it’s all about keeping up with the practice that I admire in others and even myself.
So I’ve decided to start a BLOGMAS!
What is Blogmas?
For the Tiktok kids in the back, “Blogmas” is a series of posts on a blog leading up to Christmas (Dec 25th). It can be done on any online medium (or even offline). But my first memory of it was watching vlogmas done by YouTubers in 2012.
Why am I doing Blogmas?
I’m doing it for both logical and emotional reasons. Logical because I want to be writing, creating and posting more often – discipline is the name of that game! From an emotional perspective because I want have memories 🙂 Also because I’ve officially reopened my Etsy shop, I want to ensure that I’m aligning all of my online presences and themes: Inspiration, Consistency, Happiness & Productivity.
Lastly, the hope is that I’ll learn something from participating in Blogmas that I can either share here on the blog or implement on my Etsy store.
How can YOU participate?
In any way really! It can be something online or unplugged. You can paint for 25 day. Share a new pic IG for 25 days. Create a youtube channel and start Vlogmas. You can volunteer at a soup kitchen for 25 days or learn a new skill for the next 25 days.
It’s all about staying consistent, creating, learning something & having fun!
And of course, be sure to check back over the next 24 days and follow along with my Blogmas!
