Spring Equinox Celebration Box - contents revealed! Set intentions for renewed health and a new season as you connect with Mother Earth by planting and harvesting your own microgreens. Stay tuned for more!... Every season is a new beginning, and the spring equinox is a time for a fresh start. Let us guide you in celebrating the season. We have collected a bounty of items from local artisans to cleanse, release, and replenish the soul. We have included Earth, Fire, Air & Water rituals. It’s more than just gift box, it's a celebration in a container. Available to order through the link in my bio until Sat Feb 27. Every box purchased includes an invitation to the virtual Spring Equinox SOUL-stice Celebration on Saturday March 20, 2021 at 7:00pm EST, with exclusive additional content included! #springequinox #soulsticebox #giftbox #celebratetheseason #TheSOULsticeBox #celebratespring #allthingspreserved #growyourowngreens #microgreens

Do you speak to your plants like they're family? Do you talk to the flock of pigeons that perch nearby? Do you cuddle in bed and read, ignoring the rest of the world? Whatever your definition of family may be, and however you enjoy it, may you appreciate it and may it treat you well, today and always. #familyday2021 #familyfirst #familybusiness #allthingspreserved #chosenfamily #family #buildyourownfamily

Always. That is a core belief, personally and professionally, that will never change. Why? We can work side by side to help each other succeed.... We can decrease our energy consumption by choosing local options over ones that are trucked or shipped long distances to get here. Local services and products are easy to access and share. (to name just a few) What are your reasons for supporting local? #allthingspreserved #supportlocalbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocal #buylocal #sharelocal

My original plan was a post about waste-free options for Valentine's celebrations. But I didn't feel like judging or taking away anyone's enjoyment of a special day. Instead I will focus on continuing to bring you zero waste lifestyle ideas and products that make your everyday life more environmentally friendly. I hope this day is as special as each of you is (are?)... #valentines #earthlove #earthdayeveryday #earthfriendly #love #nojudgement #wasteaware #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #zerowastelifestyle #doyourbest #doyourpart #saveourfuture #saveouroceans #saveourplanet

I am so grateful, not just for this review, but for the chance to share a functional, practical and reusable product with someone. Here's to making a sustainable switch! You can order yours here: http://bit.ly/refillableteabags

I took a much needed break this weekend to hang with my favourite men . #ilovekevinbacon

There's Instagram reality and real life reality. Swipe for the latter . I live minimally (okay, except for fabric!) and I live - and work - in an apartment. Do I love it? Yes. And no. Often, no . I have owned three houses in my adult life and I've loved each one of them for different reasons. (Suffolk Street, anyone? Vanier peeps? My Kitchener kitchen...sigh.) Since moving into an apartment, lots of downsizing and prioritizing has happened, which is psychologically awesome. B...ut I daydream about more space (illustrated by the 2nd photo) and being grounded, literally - I am a Taurus after all. Tenth floor living has its ups and downs . . . #reality #instareality #reallife #iamreal #allthingspreserved #workathome #homebusiness #familybusiness #bossmom #declutter #downsize #homestudio #homeoffice See more

One month from now we'll be celebrating the Winter Solstice: the shortest day of the year and a time for renewal. Join us as the sun begins her long journey north to warm us The Soul-stice Box began when three heart-centred entrepreneurs wanted a way to support local artisans and share some of their soulful spiritual items. The idea evolved as we realized that the best way to celebrate the Winter Solstice is with a special ceremony. With the purchase of The Soul-stice Box y...ou will not only receive many magical items but you will also receive a Zoom link to partake in a virtual Soul-stice celebration with other spiritual souls. We will all connect at 7:00pm on Monday December 21st and showcase all the items included in The Soul-stice Box as well as walk you through how to create rituals to cleanse, release, and replenish your SOUL. It’s much more than just gift box, it’s a gift for the soul and cause for celebration. Whether you’re a seasoned pro with the solstice, or curious to learn, it’s a a great way connect virtually during Covid and celebrate the Winter Solstice together. Buy your box today: https://www.allthingspreserved.ca/product/thesoulsticebox/ A collaboration with The Wizard of Vase and Embrace Network

Any simple object attached to a string can act as a pendulum, but we wanted to share something much more magical with you as part of The SOUL-stice Box. This wire wrapped druzy crystal reminds us of the northern lights, full of the mysteries of the universe. Allow this pendulum to connect you to your higher self, gain a little more clarity, and help you with decision making.

Coming together for an in-person workshop was phenomenal! We connected over our shared passion for taking care of the earth. We enjoyed brainstorming, learning and listening. And we got to play! We upcycled t-shirts into bags, jewelry and yarn. Most importantly, we all left with more enthusiasm and drive to embrace waste awareness than we had before. That is a win! . If you want to be part of the conversation and the play, join us for next week's beeswax food wrap making work...shop. It's going to feel - and smell! - phenomenal.

This is for you, earth-loving Cambridge folks. We deliver to your lovely city every Tuesday. Online orders must be received by Sunday night. We're always trying to be energy efficient, so our deliveries are combined with as many other errands as possible. These usually include a stop at @molloyssoap , either to drop off an order or to pick up some fabulous zero waste soap or, these days, hand sanitizer. #allthingspreserved #cambridgeon #shopcambridge #delivery #shoplocal #shoponline

This is me, hanging out wearing one of my favourite headbands. Swipe left to see just exactly how well loved it is. Should I dispose of it? I mean, some things can't be preserved, right? Repurpose it? If so, into what? Upcycle it? But how? #staytuned #allthingspreserved #upcycle #keeptextilesoutoflandfill #repurpose #usewhatyouhave #makedo #iamamaker

So, I broke a bracelet. Yes, I could fix it. Or, I can play around and reinvent the beads into something else. Enter: lava bead mask charms. Just one drop of your favourite essential oil can change your mood, your outlook, and dare I say it? - your day. Of course it isn't just for a mask. Attach the clip wherever you like, on a necklace, on a shoulder strap, on a hair band, you get the idea . This aromatherapy tool is available online, while quantities last... or until I br...eak another bracelet . . . #essentialoils #aromatherapy #lavabeads #inhale #inhalegoodness #breathe #breathein #charm #maskcharm #shoponline #shoplocal #ecopreneur #facemasks #repurpose #choosetoreuse #upcycle #reuse #reusableisdoable #kitchenerwaterloo #kwawesome #madeinkitchener See more

This is how my day started: a nature walk, glorious sunshine and an inspiring book, You Actually Can Do This. Andrea of @balanceblissblog wrote this for me. Seriously, it's like she's sitting across from me, chatting. Her words are real and her real life examples are, yup, real. The introduction only brought me to tears once. And those were tears of relief, followed by an enormous sigh as a weight lifted from my shoulders. Just the first few pages made me realize I'm not alon...e and it's okay that I don't have all the answers, because Andrea's here to help . I can't wait to read - and do! - more. I'd love to chat with anyone else who dives into this book (when it launches tomorrow!). Community support combined with Andrea's message would be through-the-roof powerful.
