I’m excited to announce that my new book, “Elevate Your Money Mindset” is now available in Kindle format on Amazon. As usual, the paperback will be a few days behind the eBook.

As an accountant, I had a lot of fun putting this title together. Yes, the topic of personal finances can be fun if you approach it with the right mindset. This book is full of strategies and ideas to elevate the experience of managing your money. It is light on number crunching and focuses on the “soft side” of personal finance. There is something in here for everyone, no matter your stage in life.

As we enter a new season (fall or spring depending on where you live), it’s a great time to start a new project and adopt a fresh perspective. It’s the perfect time to elevate your money mindset! 💰🧮🌅

I’m continuing along my sneak peek into the pages of my newest book, “Paris in my Panties: Live Your Best (French Inspired) Life”.

Chapter 19: Embrace Les Arts

The city of Paris is one giant gallery! You don’t have to buy a ticket to a museum or art gallery to be immersed in beauty, history, creativity, and art. There are works of art at every turn—from awe-inspiring historical monuments to enticing store windows, impromptu street art, and masterpieces on my plate.

When was the last time your visited one of your local galleries, or bought a ticket to a live performance? Now that restrictions have lifted, it’s a great time to get out and soak up some art in your local area. You can also choose to live as the French do and add your own artistic flair to everything you do, from getting dressed to plating your food. Have fun expressing yourself!

Bonjour mes amies!⁣

I'm so excited to announce the release of my new book, 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨. (Yes, you heard that right...my panties! ) If you are a lover of all things French as I am, then this is the book for you. It's currently available in Kindle format on Amazon, and the paperback will be out shortly.⁣
⁣
Although this book was inspired by my recent trip to Paris, it draws on my experiences travelling in France over the last couple of decades. It represents a compilation of my musings on how to live your best life, with a French twist (bien sûr). Writing it was my attempt to capture the essence of Paris and bring it home in my suitcase. I wanted to find a way to live a French inspired life, even though my roots are firmly planted in Canadian soil!⁣
⁣
Do you share in my desire to Frenchify all aspects of your life? If so, jet off to Paris with me! Learn how to invite a sense of joie de vivre into your everyday by embracing beauty, wonder, mystique, lightheartedness, style, simplicity, romance, history, culture, art, connection, fabulous food, and a joyful attitude.⁣
⁣
𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 will spark a sense of enthusiasm in you and inspire you to carry a piece of Paris in your heart (and panties!) wherever you go!⁣
⁣
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

I’m excited to announce the release of my new book, 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘗𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵: 50 𝘞𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦. It’s currently available on Amazon in Kindle format. The paperback won’t be ready for another couple of weeks.⁣
⁣
This one is a short and petite “pocket book”. It is meant to serve as a quick dose of inspiration whenever you crave a bit of beachy goodness (and who doesn’t!) It's the type of book you can snuggle up with on the couch (or beach blanket) and read in one sitting, or pick just one chapter over a cup of tea.⁣
⁣
Here’s a taste of what it’s all about: ⁣
⁣
The beach is a mysterious, transformative, peaceful and intriguing environment that holds a special place in the hearts of many. Whether you live near the ocean, visit it occasionally, or have never stepped foot on its sandy shores, living a beach inspired life elevates the experience of the everyday. This book will inspire you to slow down and tune in to the wise words of wisdom the beach has to offer. ⁣
⁣
Infusing your life with the essence of the beach is really about seeking more of what we instinctively crave and thrive on—simplicity, peace, tranquility, freedom, connection, self-care, adventure, nature and fresh air. ⁣
⁣
𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘗𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵 will help you hunt down the hidden seashells life has to offer and sprinkle each day with a dash of beach magic! ⁣

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! 🐚☀👙🌊🕶⁣

I'm so excited to announce the release of my new book, Preloved Chic: Stylish Secrets to Elevate Your Wardrobe With Second-Hand Fashion. It is currently available in Kindle format on Amazon and the paperback will be out shortly!⁣
⁣
Spring is in the air here in Nova Scotia. (If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and autumn is on your doorstep…enjoy! It’s my favorite time of year!) Many of us get an itch to update and refresh our wardrobes as the seasons transition. Instead of hitting repeat on your regular shopping habits, why not rethink your approach this year? Preloved Chic is here to help you build a wardrobe that is stylish, unique, budget-friendly and sustainable. It almost sounds too good to be true!⁣
⁣
The preloved fashion scene is taking the world by storm, and for good reason. Today’s conscious and savvy consumers are seeking out ways to both stretch their dollars, and consume more sustainably. Second-hand shopping ticks both these boxes.⁣
⁣
Are you curious about getting in on the action, but feel intimidated and overwhelmed? Maybe you’ve dabbled in preloved shopping, but are looking to expand your skills and hone your hunting techniques. Building a fantastic wardrobe with second-hand fashion is accessible to everyone, no matter your level of experience with fashion resale. I wrote this book from the perspective of an everyday woman (me). Although I don’t consider myself a fashionista, over the years I’ve developed a set of tools and strategies that have helped me achieve success on the second-hand market. I’m excited to share my stylish secrets with you

Chapter 4 of my new book is titled "Set Yourself Up for Success". In it I discuss small ways to create a work-from-home space that encourages productivity and inspiration. ⁣
⁣
Whether I'm writing or doing accounting, I like to add touches of beauty to my home office space. Creating a pleasant atmosphere makes unpleasant tasks more enjoyable. Being surrounded by beauty improves my creativity when I'm working on a writing project. ⁣
⁣
It's no coincidence that this bouquet of wild roses in a mason jar ended up on the cover of my new book. This is what sat on my desk while I typed up the words to 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦. Its image seeped into my psyche when I was brainstorming ideas for the cover.⁣

What's your favorite way to elevate your home office workspace?
