The Cosmic Issue

Sponsored by

Hello friend,

In the constellation of women-owned brands in the universe, this week we sought ones that had cosmic connections and Canadian roots. Whether tied to the stars, or the moon, it was a blast seeking out brands and creators that shine bright with possibility.  

We feature a Vancouver-based jewellery brand with the sweetest zodiac charms you ever did see; a baking mix brand (that happens to share a brand name with us) that is trying to change the conversation around healthy eating; a skincare line that starts with ingredients grown according to the phases of the moon; a hair loss product that is out of this world; and an artist from Victoria, BC, who feels a connection to the moon and portrays it through their art. 

This week’s issue of the newsletter is sponsored by Mave & Chez, our favourite luxury slipper brand. They want you to nominate female founders and their moms for a Mother’s Day campaign. Be sure to check out the link below to nominate a mother-daughter duo that inspires you. 

Enjoy!
