Lovelies this is your reminder to take yourself on dates. Stop waiting for people to do the things you want you experience.

When you start nurturing the relationship with yourself - you will stop settling for the bare minimum when it comes to friendships or romantic relationships… because if they can’t treat you better than you treat yourself or at the very least how you treat yourself - they are not your people!

Your amazing life starts with YOU!!
Practicing self care on the daily and loving yourself !

Lovelies this time of the year has many of us looking at our life and wondering what next ? …

Whether you find yourself single (still/again); or feeling uncertain about where you are at in life, know the answer is YOU!!!
Make this the chapter that begins with you taking better care of yourself! Loving yourself more! Step by step (tiny or huge leap steps) creating the life you want!

When we nurture our inner ISTA our world begins to change - we feel better ourselves! We take better care of ourselves! And we begin to attract situations and people who actually align with our life goals.

When you emerge as the amazing RESILIENTISTA you are, the bare minimum begins to loose appeal; you stop settling for less - because you learned settling blocks real happiness from entering; you fill your own love cup so full that anything less has no appeal.

I’m not going to sugar coat it and tell you the journey is simple - because it’s not! … you will need to face things head on; be honest with yourself; and when you stumble (because yes, you will) don’t allow the stumble to paralyze you and keep you down. Dust yourself off and keep moving forward.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the release of Resilientista books coming soon.

Whether you are looking for a gift for a friend, family member, colleague or for yourself remember every woman deserves a little luxury in her life.

China Mug: coffee, tea, hot chocolate somehow tastes better when sipped from a china mug. And Versace offers a wonderful selection of fun, elegant and bold mugs for every personality.

Bubble Bath: Yes, self care is more than bubble baths - but this bubble bath by Laura Mercier is not an ordinary bubble bath. The fragrance is exudes tranquillity, calming the mind, body , and soul. If you have not experienced a LM bubble bath - our Resilientista founder would say you haven’t really had a bubble bath.

Luxurious Candle: A candle is a great way to set the mood for relaxing. Diptyque is not only one of the best made candles they offer an array of scents - and the boutique in Yorkville Toronto is the reason it’s become one of our founder’s favourites, the service is next level!!!

Silk Pajamas: Silk is naturally temperature regulating it will keep you cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. Lilysilk offers a set that includes pajamas, eye mask, scrunchies and a silk pillow case, the perfect combo for relaxing and sleeping.

Facial Cleanser: Wiping away the day’s free radicals shouldn’t be bare minimum. Level up your cleansing routine with this amazing facial cleanser from La Mer. With a gentle cleansing foam (you just literally need a tiny dab) that lathers to whisk away impurities and excess oil, leaving skin energized and feeling soft.

Hand Crafted Umbrella: Pasotti has been hand crafting since 1956, and was founded by a woman named Ernesta Pasotti. These truly are not just functional works of art - they are master pieces. Our Original Resilientista has 3 of these and says “how can a rainy day be gloomy when you have a Pasotti to keep you dry”.

Yes, these items are not everyday needs - but shouldn’t a gift be something special , something perhaps the receiver of the gift would not buy for herself ( though she really should - she deserves only the best!).

What items would you add to this list of Luxurious Gift Ideas - please share in the comments below.
Remember treating yourself is great

As an entrepreneur- there is always something that needs to be done, looked at, or planned. It’s important to take one day out of the week and start the day without thinking of the lengthy “to do” list, that you have going.

For me , Sunday mornings are that time. Breakfast, reading a few pages from the book I’m currently making my way through.

It’s amazing how this little self care ritual has become part of my week I look forward to.

Ways this ritual helps me practice self care and love:💗
Making a meal for me ✔️
Me time✔️
Reading exercises the mind ✔️

I’m on chapter 8 of this book and if you have not yet read Finding Me - I highly recommend it. Things Viola found the strength to overcome come and let them not hold her down are truly inspirational.
Tell us what’s one the ways you carve out YOU time in your week.
