If you asked me a year ago if I ever wanted to be 100% remote, I would’ve given you a “hell no”. The idea of working from home, although sounds glamorous and convenient to some, to me, in a tiny Toronto bachelor apartment it did not. I’ve turned down jobs prior to COVID that were […]

Nothing really in your life prepares you for losing your job. Back in 2018, I was completely shocked when my employer at the time laid me off (along with hundreds of others). Not only had they just confirmed our jobs were safe a day before, but I never really had a plan, or thought about […]

2020 has been a ride. This was definitely not the year I was expecting when the clock struck midnight, and I rang in the new year on the other side of the world in Uganda. Who knew how much life would change this year? And how much history would be made. As a social media […]

Instagram is such a powerful branding tool for bloggers. In 2018, people are visual people. They don’t want to read a novel about you, but they do like pretty pictures and videos, so Instagram lends itself perfectly to how we consume content. One of the biggest questions I get working in social media is: “How […]

Two months ago I was laid off from my job due to changes Facebook made to their algorithm, and my job heavily being impacted by those changes. Two months ago I stopped having a regular 9-5, stability, and a job that I loved going to every day. It’s seriously hard to believe that it’s already […]

Pinterest can be an incredibly underrated social media platform in my opinion. It can be a super valuable tool for you and your business, especially if your business is visually appealing (weddings, food, travel, etc.). and if your primary target market is women under the age of 34. I mean, there are lots of brands […]

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to write this for a few weeks now. A way that I could put down on paper what’s been running through my head. Do you ever feel like you have so much to say but yet you just can’t say it? That’s basically how I’ve felt about […]

Working with brands can be one of the most exciting things as a blogger and/or influencer.
