Accepting Free Shit from IG Brands

I’ll give you the tl;dr version up front: “free shit” isn’t always free, especially when you’re an influencer or blogger. No brand gifts you anything out of the goodness of their own heart but rather in hopes that you’ll promote…

Q&A: Katy from Attire Media

Have you ever met someone and vibed with them right from the get-go? That was what happened when I met Katy last year. We met at a beach-cleanup/mediation event hosted by ethical swimwear brand, OCIN, so it’s not surprising that…

10 Ethical & Sustainable Activewear Brands

I have more leggings than I do regular pants I think… Is it because I live in Vancouver or is it because of the fact that I’ve turned into one of those weirdos who loves to break a sweat? Known…

SUGGESTED SIZING; Levi’s

HAHAHAHAHA – remember when I did one of these in 2018 and said I would update it regularly and then didn’t post about it again? Well part of the reason why is because I shifted the way I shop for…

I feel like I have to put a big disclaimer note on this as well, obviously I’m grateful to be gifted a lot of really cool items, but that doesn’t mean that every single thing I get is wanted or useful and I love to pass things along to friends and family or donate where appropriate. 

Maybe I do a part two where I share actual merch I found useful and still use.
Do you know what fair trade means? Fair wages, s Do you know what fair trade means? 

Fair wages, safer working conditions, and putting people before profits because a good deal shouldn’t come at someone else’s expense. 

As we approach the holiday season, supporting ethical, sustainable and Canadian businesses is more important than ever. And while there’s no such thing as perfect consumption, we can be more intentional about where our money goes.

⚠️ content warning: sexual assault 57 men in the ⚠️ content warning: sexual assault

57 men in the group chat, and we’re all only finding out two years later because Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit.

I think when stories like this make national headlines, it can create the illusion that they’re shocking because they’re rare. That this is something that happens at some fraternity, at some university, in some city you’ve never been to.

But shit like this happens all the time in our own cities. 

I’m sharing one of many stories I could tell that should make your blood boil. And trust and believe, most women have their own version of these stories too.

A few things I also forgot to mention: the brand offers sizes 2XS to 3XL, it’s based right here in Vancouver, like their undies the Softwear is available with bundle and save options.

Listen, I always have these grand plans to vlog bu Listen, I always have these grand plans to vlog but after a few hours, I either forget or my phone dies or both. So it was meant to be a weekend vlog is now a Saturday morning vlog.

Sooooo, *annoying influencer voice* come with me…
1️⃣ spent my morning with @holtrenfrew at their k-beauty pop-up where I learned that @rebekah.ho can’t count to seven
2️⃣ tried the pecan pie latte at @slocoffee_ , my first fall season drink of the year. I liked it, flavour was subtle and not to sweet
3️⃣ went to @nettlestaleshop to try on @ratboi , a new brand for the shop! Loved this polka dot set but it wasn’t quite my size so I ended up passing on it.
4️⃣ lunch at @nubatown , still one of my all time faves 
5️⃣ went for an upper body focused massaged with Andi at @solamassagestudio — so I never get massages because I have a hard time relaxing and I’m very ticklish. Andi has created such a relaxing environment. I even fell asleep. This massage was heaven and while I was sore the day after, the day after that I felt great.

Taking bets now on whether or not I ever do this again.
