A couple of nights ago, I told my mom and sister that I’m burnt out—so burnt out that I’m crispy. And salty. I’m basically a potato chip 🤷🏻‍♀️🥔. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Which, let’s be honest, is probably how a lot of folks are feeling right now. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On the business side of things, we’re in the busiest season of the year, the holiday rush, with only a few weeks before we close for winter holidays. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you. Each purchase, each “like,” each comment, each share - none of it goes unnoticed - even when I’m feeling overwhelmed and potato-chip-esque. ⁣
⁣
And I’m not about to let our community of radiant rebels down, so I’m finding ways to preserve and enjoy the season we’re in. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A few of those ways are...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- working my way through morning chores with the animals at a slower pace (which includes stopping for lots of chicken chats and sheep snuggles), despite my brain attempting to tell me to 𝑟𝑢𝑠ℎ 𝑟𝑢𝑠ℎ 𝑟𝑢𝑠ℎ. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- having the bedtime that a granny would be proud of. 👵🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- tackling the “must-dos” and trusting that’s enough. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- practicing gratitude for the support system I have (which includes Tim, my spouse, who’s packing up your Grounded Sage orders as I type this). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- giggling over ridiculous memes, gifs, and chicken coops shaped like space ships (it’s a thing!) 🐔👽⁣⁣
⁣⁣
- lots of lemon balm in capsule form (amazing for mental stress, restlessness, and irritability). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When I take a moment to breathe, I already start to feel more centred, more relaxed, and more equipped to get through the next few weeks. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In fact, I’m looking forward to going from a crispy potato chip to a couch potato with a stack of books, hot chocolate, and lots of extra doggie snuggles as winter continues to creep up on us. ⁣⁣

It’s the start of a new week! How are you feelin

It’s the start of a new week! How are you feeling?⁣
⁣
I’m still warming up from morning chores at the animal sanctuary despite finishing them hours ago (brrr it’s cold and super windy out there again today 🇨🇦), so hot tea and cookies are in order! ⁣
⁣
As we start another week, I wanted to speak directly to those who feel insure or shame around the outward appearance of their skin. ⁣
⁣
Our skin is our largest organ and does amazing things for us - and sometimes that’s a bit messy. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes it’s a plea to support our whole selves more radically. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes it’s a reminder to slow down and take a breath or two... or ten, or twenty! ⁣
⁣
Sometimes it’s nothing more than distorted cultural conditioning about what skin “should” look like. ⁣
⁣
Whatever the root of skin shame and insecurity is for you, know that you can toss aside the notion that your skin needs to be anything other than an organ that works in sync with your whole body for your greatest good. ⁣
⁣
You don’t have to keep up with trends. ⁣
⁣
You don’t have to strive to satisfy beauty ideals. ⁣
⁣
You don’t have to validate stereotypes. ⁣
⁣
You DO get to pick what works for you and unsubscribe from the rest. ⁣
⁣
You got this. ⁣
⁣

𝐵𝑟𝑟𝑟 it’s a chilly morning here! 🇨🇦 I’m currently waiting for the temperature to warm up above freezing so I can get back to animal chores for the sanctuary 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the meantime, I’m enjoying maple syrup sweetened tea ☕️ 🍁 and am secretly excited that it’s the season for thermal knit everything 😂. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Btw, were long johns always called thermal knit or am I the only one who remembers when we called them waffle knit? 👈 Random things to ponder on a slow Saturday morning 🤓😅. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While I have you, I wanted to make sure you knew about 3 things...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1) Our 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of skincare goodies is out and selling out fast ⛄️🎄 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2) The chamomile cleanser in the picture 📸 is new to our line up and made especially for 𝐝𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 (making it the perfect cold weather face wash). ⁣
⁣
3) Our next 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 blitz starts on November 26th 🥳⁣⁣

For many of us Canadians, after Halloween has pass

For many of us Canadians, after Halloween has passed, we basically go into “it’s winter now” mode. BUT, we’ve had such a warm, sunny, dare I say perfect fall weekend here, I’m not letting go of Autumn just yet. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Besides, the winter solstice is still well over a month away, and I’m going to soak up every last bit of autumn before saying, “see you soon” to my favourite season 🍂. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
On this crisp autumn morning (with the sound of 🌽 being taken off the fields around me), I thought it was a perfect time to share this stunning pic of Nicole Oke (who just so happens to be wearing natural makeup by your truly 😉). ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This autumnal picture was captured by our good friend Echo. The makeup artist behind this soft, radiant look was Melanie Richards. Please be sure to give these local ladies some love 🍂 ⁣⁣
