New Year's Resolutions
Let’s kick off the year with a quick guide for keeping New Year’s resolutions, shall we? The first thing to remember is that it’s not necessarily about what we want to change, but about why we want to change those things. Not understanding this basic first step is why some people end up in an endless cycle of making the same resolutions year after year, adding a layer of “This year I will really do it” as the calendars turn around.

Holiday Gift Guide 2020

Luckily, there are some ways to make the decision process easier. In this gift guide, we'll go over basic components of a nice gift and some shops you could check out for gift ideas.

A Gift Guide Featuring Five Indigenous Businesses
As a Black woman living in Canada, I am aware of the fact that there is no Black liberation without Indigenous sovereignty. I am mindful of this in everything I do, and so I walk the walk. Or is it walk the talk? Either way, in my quest to achieve this and also support local businesses, I have curated a short list of Indigenous businesses in Canada. Many of these share similar values, and in their entrepreneurial ventures, they either give back to their communities or use their brands to create awareness. For those reasons, I support and share these companies as I know that their impact is far-reaching, and they are focused on achieving a triple bottom line. At the end of this article, I will include a link to a website with an even longer list that includes Indigenous businesses in the USA. However, the five I've listed below are my top picks in Canada.

The Celestial Gift Guide. Top Story - December 2020.
Gift-buying can often be a challenging task, especially when it comes to the individuals who have been in your life for quite some time. Eventually, you run out of gift ideas and end up giving a gift you've already given. Luckily, I can buy my niece a different LEGO set each year, and the excitement never wanes, but I can't say that is the case for everyone else in my life. So, why not try a unique gift-buying method by using the stars as a guide? This may seem cheesy if you aren't a fan of Astrology, but what do you have to lose from gaining a fresh and fun perspective when shopping for gifts? Many of us turn to our horoscopes for guidance, so there is no harm in utilising this concept in other aspects of our lives. Below is my unique celestial guide for gift selection based on zodiac signs. If you try it, let me know what the gift recipient thinks of their gift!

Gifting & Donating
I wrote a post recently about how I wish Christmas was ... or, more specifically, how I wish I was stronger in telling my family not to get me presents. I'd rather they donate $100 to charity than spend it on me, buying me STUFF I don't need. (And by "stuff", I mean you don't wanna know how many boxes of chocolates I received this year ... or how quickly I ate them.)
