New products! We're so darn excited!
Read more →This photo is supposed to show my excitement over our new products! It looks slightly (okay a lot) like a mug shot. But the happiest, most inspirational mug shot ever. Anyway!It's almost Christmas! Holy smokes! That snuck up on us quickly. Kinda like the wrinkles under my eyes. Unexpected, but to be expected. And oh so awesome. Two things that make my eyes wrinkle up in pure delight? 1) our new large inspirational decals! Yay! They're big and bad. Actually, they're quite good. Check them out here. 2) our Winter 2016 Collection! She's a beaut. (Kinda like what...

Sisterhood: A Look Back
Read more →Wow. I am blown away. We held our very first event - called Sisterhood - last Saturday, November 12th. It was months in the making and we were curious and excited and nervous about it. When I just sat and meditated before the event, the message I received was: 'Serve others. Focus on that. It will keep you out of your head.' (see photo below...it's a reminder that sits on my computer screen) Oh, Sisterhood. What an experience. In the days since, I have felt the urge to hurry up and post an update. Pictures, a 'hooray,' something. Nope....

Our next step. We are so. darn. excited.
Read more →This has been a long time coming. An evolution of sorts, you might say. When we started making our Grounded Goodness decals, I thought: 'Yes, this is it! These decals are awesome and this is it!' Silly Amanda. Little did I know. The universe was patting me on the shoulder while saying: 'It's okay dear. You'll see.' After awhile, I realized something was missing. 'How can we spread more goodness? How can we connect more people? How can I create a space for connection?' You see, I crave connection. Honest conversations from the center of my gooey heart. No...

Ugly crying, and remembering to breathe...
Read more →(this photo was at kilometer ~4. Little did I know, I did not 'have this.') I wasn't nervous. Before my 10km race yesterday, for the Melfort Multi-K. I wasn't nervous at all. 'I've done this so many times, this distance. I've got this. It's no biggie,' I thought. I should have known. Around the 7km mark, I lost it. I felt so heavy and drained - physically, emotionally, mentally. I felt as though there were 50 pound weights on my legs, that I could not shake off. I wanted to cry. But I couldn't cry. Because you...

A New Collaboration - Post 4 of 4
Read more →I was once told by a psychic medium that my struggle in this lifetime would be 'confidence.' "Aw, perfect! Who doesn't want to struggle with that? Sign me up! Can I get two lifetimes worth of that please?" (I didn't go back to that medium.) So when I was hit with the idea for our brand new decal collection, I was determined to call it the Confidence Collection. ("I will get that confidence no matter what, darn it.") But it didn't quite fit. Because I realized that there was no solid foundation beneath that confidence. Where was it coming...

A New Collaboration - Post 3 of 4
Read more →Have you felt it before? You walk into a store and you know it’s good. Sometimes you don’t even feel like leaving (often to the slight discomfort of the salesperson). This is what happens at Brickhouse Clothing. You can feel the fun and welcoming atmosphere. (And Lana would be okay with your staying for awhile. I know this from experience.) Why? Because that’s what Lana intends: “I want my customers to feel happy. And just have fun. And be comfortable.” Success, Lana. Success. As you walk in, you are greeted by rich colors, great fabrics and space to explore. ...
