We've been told cryptocurrency is the new wave of finance and it seems like its only going up and up in value and popularity, especially when tech modules like Elon Musk continue to talk and endorse it.

Every year there seems to be a new trend in interior home design. I personally can never keep up, and this year seems no different! With more and more people working from home, you might be feeling like changing up your work space! A coat of paint and some new furniture can go a long way. Whether you want the Rustic Farm Style with barn doors, Grey and Earth tones, which ooze elegance and sophistication, or dive into Benjamin Moores 2021, color of the year, Aegean Teal! A light and airy ocean tone that I absolutely love, especially since Nanaimo is the Harbor City! Below are some of the 2021 interior design predictions, what are your thoughts on #6!? Personally I think it’s a little extreme for my taste, but no two people are the same! https://www.homesandgardens.com//interior-design-trends-20

I have gotten a lot of new followers lately, so I figured I should start this year off with a hello and a little info about me! I graduated from Vancouver Island University (VIU) in 2017 with a degree in Marketing, Management, and Anthropology. While there, I worked part time for my parents at M&M Food Market, where I quickly learned what it means to be part of a small locally owned business. When I’m not helping clients with their real estate needs, you can find me dreaming of travelling again, weight training at gym, surfing, hiking and exploring this beautiful island with my dog, or my long-standing mission to find the best taco and burrito on Vancouver Island! Hint: one of the best burritos is in Tofino!

With Halloween coming up, you're probably wondering what you're going to do for the little ones during a pandemic. Can you still go trick or treating? Will it be safe to do so? The CDC has provided some tips on how you can still go trick or treating and be safe! 1. Respect homes by staying away if the lights are out. 2. Keep to your local neighborhood this year.... -Avoid trick-or-treating in busy areas or indoors (in places like malls) since there may not be enough space to distance. Indoor spaces may require a non-medical mask or face covering. 3. Trick-or-treat in a small social group, stick to six people. -Leave space between you and other groups to reduce crowding on stairs and sidewalks. 4. Wash your hands before you go out, when you get home, and before eating treats. -Keep hand sanitizer with you if eating treats on the go. -You don’t need to clean every treat. You should instead wash your hands after handling treats and not touch your face. Click the link for the full list of tips
