Hello friend,

Full disclosure: We are not avid skiers. That doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the alpine lifestyle. The fashion, the beautiful scenery, the physical challenge, the après ski, we’re here for all of it and had the best time pulling together the first ever mountain issue of Genuinely Stellar! 

In this week’s issue, we feature a women-owned skiwear brand with retro vibes and style for days; a unique après drink from a Canadian-born Swiss chef and cookbook author with coffee that won’t give you the jitters; a skin care brand from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which relies on the heartiest local plants to revitalize your skin; a perfumery in BC that hand makes perfume with ingredients from local tourist destinations; and a girls getaway in the mountains that is the perfect entrée into life on the slopes. 

Be sure to click the link for our sponsor this week. KwaKwa is the app that helps you turn your expertise into a revenue stream. 

Enjoy! 

 Who better to create a stylish skiwear brand than a woman whose life is inextricably linked to the mountains.

Coffee, without the jitters? Yes please! We made this traditional Swiss après ski drink from a Canadian Chef living in Switzerland using a Canadian coffee brand you need to know.

If these flowers can grow in harsh conditions at high altitudes in Jackson Hole Wyoming, imagine how the lifeforce within them can hydrate your skin.

If you’re a skier and you’ve been to Whistler, you may find the mountains calling your name this time of year. If you can’t make the trip, here’s a way to transport yourself.

Planning your next “Girls Weekend” to Blue Mountain? Book a time to “throw the wheel” at Hello Pottery Co. in Collingwood. A cute community-driven shop/workspace that allows you to get in touch with your inner artiste!

In keeping with the mountain theme we are mentioning Tonia’s dog Rudy! He is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog or “Swissie” one of the world’s oldest breeds of working dogs. He came from Big Country Kennels , run by a family of amazing women who are inspirational for their love and care of these beautiful animals.

Do you do an active warm-up before you hit the slopes? Jenny Wiegand of Ski Magazine demonstrates some dynamic moves to help you avoid injury.

Nothing says après-ski quite like French Onion Soup. We looked to the iconic Julia Child for the recipe. Watch this video to see her prepare it, she is everything!
