Fresh, Fun and Fabulous

Hello friend,

Happy long weekend! Whether you’re celebrating Easter, Passover or warmer Spring days, I hope you find some quality me-time amongst the festivities.

The stories in this week’s newsletter definitely have a springtime, upbeat vibe. Add a dash of colour to your wardrobe with wearable art; try a sparkling water bursting with flavour; add a little zing to your sex life; get a fresh start for your problem skin; and get the reclaimed wood kitchen accessories with Gwenyth Paltrow’s stamp of approval.

This week’s newsletter is sponsored by Sara Stalker, Intuitive Life Coach and all-around fabulous woman. Thank you so much for your support in helping me share the stories of these inspiring women entrepreneurs!

Enjoy!

 How chic is this? The accessory you didn’t know you needed is a wearable work of art. Meet the Montreal-based artist who is ushering in the return of the silk scarf with mesmerizing, colourful designs. BTW, she will be at Toronto’s One of a Kind show this week. Visit her at booth G29.

You know that feeling when your favourite song comes on and everybody gets up to dance? That celebratory glee is what the founder behind this fruit flavoured sparkling water wants you to feel when you take a sip.

So you’re a woman in midlife. You’re in the throws of menopause. Your body is changing, your mood is the pits, and you haven’t slept through the night in months. If this sounds familiar, there’s a good chance your sexual wellness isn’t what it used to be. Here’s one way to spice things up.

Did you know that 20-30% of adult women suffer from hormonal acne? If you’re one of them, and you’ve tried every topical product on the market, it may be time to look inward. The Founder of this product did, and it changed her life.

I could have talked to the founder who makes these beautiful wooden spoons from reclaimed wood for hours. She’s a plain-talking aesthetician turned woodworker and a fabulous storyteller who happens to have Gwenyth Paltrow’s number in her contacts.

Watch this space for five quick things to make your life a little richer.

If you’re looking to put a little springtime on your plate, you will love this collection of recipes I found making the most of the fresh ingredients of the season.

Libido on the low side? A new documentary backed by the Founder of Knix explores why it was so hard to launch a pill for female sexual dysfunction, when we all know about the little blue pill men have been taking for years.

Ever look around your city or town and ponder the pervasiveness of bland architecture as new developments take hold and municipalities expand, in the most uninspiring ways? This writer calls it “the uglification of Canada” and shares a path to building with beauty.

To beef tallow, or not to beef tallow? That is a question being asked by women everywhere, searching for a miracle skincare solution. Does it work? Maybe, for some people.

Here’s some makeup magic that had me mystified! See how a little blush can actually change the shape of your face. Will you try it this weekend?
