Well, it seems Alanis Morissette is right. Life does have a funny way of sneaking up on you. And at times, when it does so, it implores you to act…..to do something. ANYTHING. When Natalie and I started this business about which we are so passionate, we made it our mission right from the get-go to try to effect change in some way, to the best of our abilities. How exactly to accomplish this was, is and probably always will be a constant work in progress. It’s a conversation that we have daily, usually several times per day. In this digital, incredibly fast-paced world in which we live and work, our business is growing and changing and we are growing...
There have been many famous Oscars throughout entertainment history: Oscar Peterson. Oscar (Odd Couple) Madison. Oscar de la Renta. Oscar Wilde. And of course, (lest we forget?) Oscar the Grouch. But only one Oscar, truly only ONE, is known simply by his first name: He, with the perfect posture and sculpted abs. He, with that flawlessly golden glow. He, who is able to bring together en masse a who’s who of Hollywood royalty for one glorious evening. He, who is sometimes controversial yet still always desirable.

At the risk of sounding cliche, we want to make the world a better place. Not boisterous Donald Trump style “Make America Great Again” better……just better. We want to know that when we wake up tomorrow, our world as we know it will be slightly better than it is today. Positive change is made little by little, day by day. It takes effort, patience and commitment. We all know Rome wasn’t built in a day, but as they say “small efforts sustained over time can produce significant results.” So, in keeping with this motto, we decided to do a little pop-up shop at Moksha Yoga NDG in support of its efforts to raise money for Junglekeepers, a nonprofit committed to...
Last month, we took part in a very special day of yoga and wellness to help raise money for Lymphoma Canada. “Take it to the Mat” is an event which incorporates the benefits of yoga, meditation and living a happy and healthy lifestyle. We were so honored to be amongst a wonderful community of people all working towards the common goal of empowering lymphoma patients through education, support and research.
Making a difference in the lives of others is a huge part of our mission and we hope to participate in many more inspiring events such as this in the future. As Mother Teresa once said: “The greatest good is what we do for one another.”
