Your Fall Reset

Hello friend,

I just love this time of year, don’t you? September is my new year, where I reset my intentions, reboot my fashion choices and refine my diet. This issue is full of fresh takes to help you embrace the season, get inspired and even celebrate!

Get down to business with an urban office look from the Toronto designer who wants you to be part of the fashion conversation whether you are a size 2 or 4x; Celebrate the season (or any other everyday win) with a Clink; Learn how a PHD scientist approached formulating her skincare line; Meet the Naturopathic Doctor who pours a beneficial cup of tea; And enjoy the landscapes of a photographer and mixed media artist whose work reminds me of Fall.

If you ordered a Fall Discovery Box, it ships this week! If you didn’t order but wish you did, we have a giveaway coming soon. Be sure to follow @genuinelystellar on Instagram and watch for details.

Enjoy!

 Is this what September feels like for you? Phone ringing, time ticking, and there’s not enough coffee in the world to help you get through it? Get to know the Toronto-based designer whose contemporary workwear makes you feel stylish, powerful, and in control, no matter what your size.

What are you celebrating this Fall? A promotion? An anniversary? The Fall bounty? No matter how big or small the occasion, the founders of this canned champagne cocktail (which also comes as a mocktail) want you to clink to it.

If the change in the weather is changing your skin, this line of gentle skincare developed by a PHD scientist may be the thing you need. Yes, it’s science-backed, but the founder says how it feels on your skin is just as important.

I have always been a tea lover and my kettle boils year round, though there’s something about the ritual of brewing a calming tea in the Fall that fills my cup. My Naturopathic Doctor pictured above, blends organic loose leaf herbs for her patients. It’s without a doubt the best tea I’ve ever had.

If you missed the story about artist Christine Flynn in a previous issue, I thought it was a good time to revisit it. Her compelling landscapes with a modern twist remind me of the season.

Your Fall Discovery Box is being assembled and packaged up as we speak! I cannot wait for you to discover the incredible brands within it and the products I’ve selected together with the Founders. This box features brands from coast to coast. It makes me proud to be Canadian with such high quality products from such an impressive group of women.
