Extremely recommend a summer holiday in Scandinavia with your bestie in a house with a rowboat on a fjord.

HOLTZMANN POMBAL COWAN
2016-2026

Holtzboltz, Tiny Baby, Idiot Puppy, Stinky Stinkpot, America’s Lady, Potato Bean, most of all, my bb.

English by birth, French by heritage, American by adoption, Scottish by luck.

She loved eating anything she could fit in her mouth, picnics on the Meadows, chasing bubbles and “Ralphies”, snuggling her parents, destroying toys and visits to the pub.

Terrified of balloons (but always really brave about it), unable to resist a nap on a pile of dirty laundry, incapable of doing anything quietly, she loved a shower so much she’d hang out in there on hot summer days.

You could always find her sitting on a guest’s foot, staring at something only she could see, or napping in a sunbeam. She starred in ads for 3 different brands!

Judson taught her all her best tricks, and I gave her all her best snuggles.

She was our first pet who wasn’t a colleague, the one who completed our family, the one who got us through so many terrible things in the last decade. The whole of my 30s was spent with her! I don’t know what I did to deserve such a sweet and tiny friend. I’ll miss her always. 🖤 by @blairsatellite

It has taken me a decade and a half to acquire this scale collection of skulls (my own Dooleys) and I accidentally acquired them from largest to smallest, which means I’m going to have to keep going as the size approaches zero.

Favourite is 2nd largest, which has a HINGED JAW and is also the only antique one. by @blairsatellite

2025 was the year I stopped couching my career in doubts and started saying “I’m a freelance social media strategist, copywriter and problem solver.”

7 clients
5 cities
41-ish shoots
One million train rides
A career I love. ❤️ by @blairsatellite

That ornament has been my mom’s favourite since she was a kid; I’m 100% sure its hook is made of lead and 90% sure Santa is made of celluloid but he’s here now and we stan.

Also I always forget to take a pic of my trees! by @blairsatellite

Freelance girlies know.

Real ones live & die by the planner, so you gotta customise. This year I added:
• my custom bookplate
• a biz card holder
• metal (!!) organising tabs so they don’t get shredded like my 2024 ones did
• pen clip
• page-sized back pocket for tickets, receipts, etc.
• a BUNCH of stickers (duh)
