During this pandemic we’ve been talking a lot about getting creative and enjoying different activities like painting, paper crafts, chalk art, all those things we loved doing as kids.

But what about the other kid who is inside of us?  The one with a little bit of rebellion in her, the one who likes to lock herself in her room every once in a while just to be with her own thoughts.  Yes, I’m talking about the teenage girl – she needs some attention too!

This weekend it suddenly occurred to me that I was feeling pretty low about (more…)

What was I doing last year at this time?  The year before that and the year before that?

I was getting ready for a super-glam night in London, Ontario!  An evening called Bubbles and Baubles where I, along with several other Canadian jewelry designers gathered to sell our creations and give back 25% of our sales to The London Children’s Hospital Foundation.

It has been my experience that over the last 10 months we have had two very different realities.

In the beginning we had to – (more…)

This time last year I was on my way to a three day retreat in Cuba with other female entrepreneurs.  It was a fabulous trip and really gave me the rest I needed and inspiration to come back and get excited for the year ahead.

How many of you are feeling like a change of scenery could really help with a fresh start to the new year?  I feel your pain.

We are in lock down and it’s difficult to get that fresh start feeling (more…)

Happy New Year and happy Monday to you!

I’d love for you to join me today in taking a deep breath and just sit still for a few moments.

Think about what your headspace was like one year ago at this time.

For me, I woke up to the sound of my alarm at 6:30am to be ready for the first Monday back to reality.  I woke up out of my holiday bliss feeling pressured before my feet even hit the ground.

Pressured to plan my year, pressured to get back to the gym, pressured to lose (more…)

Last week I hosted my first Zoom Party!  A party to celebrate 20 years in business.

To all of the ladies who attended, I am sooooo grateful that you were there.  For those who could not make it, I felt you in spirit.  That’s the great thing about glamgirls, I always (more…)

Here I go . . .

Yesterday I kicked off my 20 year celebration for glamjulz!

I chose the day because, as of yesterday, we only have 20 days left in 2020 and also, December 12th was my Dad’s birthday. Gosh, he would have been 85.  He and he had such a tremendous influence on my character, always encouraging me to work hard and give it my all!

So with all of those good vibes for a start date, I know that (more…)

Today I looked back at a BLOG I wrote in March, shortly after the pandemic began.  The blog was in celebration of glamjulz turning 20 this year.

I had some big plans to celebrate back then. I was under the assumption that (more…)

Here’s what this weekend looks like at my house and a few other people’s houses.

What a weekend! 20 degrees in November, are you kidding me?

This beautiful weather has been a gift, another opportunity to gather outside and spend time with the people we love.

Wayne and I headed north on (more…)
