visual branding, graphic, and web design for wellness entrepreneurs and heart-led changemakers
You’ve probably heard of WordPress at one point or another. It started as a blogging platform and has evolved a great deal since and not just for blogging. For those who need a website, whether for business, a portfolio, or just a personal blog, there comes a point when you need to decide what platform to build your website on. Creating a website is easier now than ever. You no
As much as I love warm weather, there’s something about the crisp chill of the autumn air that’s so invigorating. Maybe it’s through all the years of conditioning through the education system that September/Fall is a time for a new chapter, resets, and fresh starts. It’s crazy that it’s been a year since I’ve started immersing myself in the world of self-employment and freelancing. It’s crazy how much has changed. And
Whether for social media images, sales pages, or your website, you’re probably going to need some photos at some point. But, you can’t just Google Image Search something and slap it on your website…that’s a big no-no and can result in some legal action (we don’t want that!). So what do you need to look for? Images for commercial use (if you’re using this for your business), and a nice
I went for a walk in the forest the other day. Feeling overwhelmed with too many thoughts of shoulds, coulds, and needs…this cycle can be so paralyzing. But being in nature always tends to calm me down. And then I got this message of permission. To be gentle with myself. To give myself permission for all the things that “shouldn’t” be, but also permission for what “could”. To give myself
If you’ve never had a website before, there’s going to be a couple of things to think about. These are the two big things you’ll need. It’s often not included in web design/development packages (but this depends, so check!): 1) a domain, and 2) web hosting. Domain Registration You need a domain name first. This will be the URL for your website. If you already have a business name, it’s
One of my most favourite things about being an online entrepreneur is getting to collaborate and connect with others around the world. I’ve recently been featured over at Anna Lundberg/One Step Outside for her Fearless Fridays blog. There, I share a bit more of my journey (the Coles Notes version), of how I got from working in a cubicle to working at home, or a cafe, or wherever I have
It has been just over two years since I’ve learned the art of surrendering like never before, and some days are more challenging than others, yet letting go, believing, and leading with your heart ultimately leads you to places you never thought possible. ♡ So honoured to be a part of Creating Light Studio‘s #100PortraitsofConnection series, and amongst these beautiful and inspirational women forging their paths and truths, and bringing
Are you ready for a virtual assistant (VA)? Here are some questions to ask yourself, or find answers to before you start looking and interviewing them. Save yourself and them time by getting clear on these first. I’ve ordered the questions into a logical progression. The answer to one should help with the next question. Know the answers to the following… 1. What are your pain spots/challenge(s)? What is the
So, today, I’m going to talk about underwear. Yep, you read that right! I just ordered another pair of THINX underwear, and before you think it’s a little TMI (maybe, it is), I’m sharing this because I think they’re AWESOME – from the product, to the mission and values, and design, and I share a discount code at the end. Warning that this post might not be for you if the
In 2015, it was clarity. A few years ago, I moved away from new year resolutions and opted for setting an intention. Partly inspired by the practice in yoga classes, and partly inspired by being more feelings-driven via Danielle Laporte’s Desire Map*, I’ve set an intention for each year. It gives me a focus. It gives me a guide for decision-making. Would saying “yes” to this result in more __________?
