Time for a Fresh Start!

Hello friend,

We love this time of the year! September is around the corner and it has all the feels of a new beginning. Summer vacation is behind us and it’s time to get down to business at work. Cooler temperatures are enticing us to do a wardrobe refresh and our tastebuds are starting to shift towards the fall foods we love. 

In this issue of the newsletter, we highlight 5 fall trends and show you how some of our favourite women-owned brands bring them to life; we list the best in-season produce to pick up at the market and a recipe that will have you swooning for fall; we bring you fall nail colour ideas from a women-owned brand in Montreal that leads with kindness; we tell the story of the modern day weight loss guru everyone is talking about; and we share some inspiring words from poet Rupi Kaur for a fall reset. 

Over the coming weeks, we will add some new features to the newsletter, including some everyday tips and tricks and #thefastfive: five quick things to make your life a little richer. These additions were inspired by subscriber feedback. If you have thoughts on what would make Genuinely Stellar better, we would love to hear from you! You can simply reply to this email or reach us at [email protected]. 

Enjoy!
