Friendly reminder: Saturday is Election Day! Your vote shapes the city we all share, and that includes the local spots you love. We’d ask you to keep small businesses in mind when you vote.⁠
⁠
Over the last five years, we’ve watched too many of our neighbours in the small business community struggle, and some have had to close their doors for good. They’re the heart and soul of our city, and their future is on the ballot this weekend.⁠
⁠
Think about the places that make our city feel like home:⁠
⁠
• Your local cafe who knows your quirky order⁠
• That magical bookstore recommending your next read⁠
• Your go-to restaurants with that one dish they make better than anywhere⁠
• The curated secondhand shop where you find that unique piece you’ve dreamed of ⁠
• The barbershop or hair salon who know just how to cut your hair so that it falls perfectly⁠
• The family mechanic you trust⁠
• The bike shop keeping you tuned up⁠
• Your independent grocer with the local goods and the pet store that knows your furry friend likes a sweet potato treat⁠
⁠
To survive, these spaces need a mayor and council who actively look after them. When you’re weighing your choices, look for candidates who support ideas like:⁠
⁠
• Commercial rent caps to help your favourite independent businesses from being priced out⁠
• Affordable or free parking options for our customers to keep main streets accessible⁠
• Penalties for landlords who leave spaces empty instead of renting at affordable rates⁠
• Safety measures like security grants and vandalism rebates, to protect your retail neighbourhoods against crime⁠
⁠
Local elections directly impact the survival of your favourite spots. Not sure where candidates stand? Check their platforms, look at candidate surveys and all-candidates forums or ask them directly about small business support. Whoever you choose, please vote this Saturday. Let’s make sure the next four years include helping our local shops thrive, not watching more of them close.⁠

Golden hour with the best team ✨

Fall is a season of transition — a time of change. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Davita Miles began a season of healing and found herself returning to the earth, gathering clay from the bottom of the lake on her family’s property. As she shaped the clay, a woman emerged and that first sculpture changed everything. A nurse and mother of twins, she is also the artist behind Terra Vita, creating sculptures from wild-harvest clay that are inspired by the female form. Her work explores resilience, transformation and the stories our bodies carry. Learn more about her story at artofterravita.com

A little look inside one of our favourite parts of every Sweat & Social event: the swag bag. For our Sunny August morning @victoriaciderco we packed each bag with a mix of wellness, beauty, self-care + a few things to discover along the way.

Inside this one:

@east29th full-sized versed lotion mist
@canprev full-sized magnesium
@agcare1989 leave-in conditioner
@hatchcrafted mini coffee cans
@nezzanaturals coconut body wash
@helloeverist exfoliating body wash
@suniienergygum on the go energy gum
@eastcoastglow natural infused soaps
@tanit.botanics tanitabs toothpaste tablets
@getvitaminlab hydration powder
@bebriteforlife discount cards
@alamodeconsignment discount cards
@spincovi free class card

We’re always so intentional about what goes into our bags, and we love being able to introduce our community to brands. Especially Canadian + local ones that we genuinely think they’ll enjoy.

Thanks as always to every single one of these brands that make our swag bags so epic!

What do clothes and breast cancer have in common? After my double mastectomy I was searching for clothes that fit my newly flat body. I started this account to share styles that worked. It became about much more. Body positivity, coping with treatment/survival, mental health, and community. I found an incredible one through social media and in real life! Thank you all for that!.

I’m grateful for the friends I have made, the support I continue to have, the community that has stood behind me. Incidentally the dress I have on was purchased during a community fundraiser held for a different organization. Many organizations, including multiple cancer based ones, could not continue their work without the support of the community. Support what you can, when you can and how you can. In this case the bonus was I picked up a cute linen dress and contributed.

Find the sisters who share it all…

The eye cream that makes them glow and look ten years younger. The HRT regimen keeping them sane. The exciting risks they’re considering—and the details of what is hurting their hearts the most.

The women you trust with every part of your life. Who protect your name in every room, gather quickly when they know you need them and stand back when they know you need a little space to get the doing done.

Friendship without judgement, but never without honesty. The women who hold up a mirror with love so you can see yourself clearly. Who notice when you’re tiptoeing towards a dark path and gently pull you back home to yourself.

These are the women you don’t let go of. The women you thank God for every day. The women who help carry you through life’s hardest challenges and celebrate every beautiful win right beside you.

… who you know will show up at midnight, shovels in hand, without being asked 😉

Thank you for being one of these jewels in my life❣️

What a morning! ☀️🍎

Huge thank you to @victoriaciderco for hosting us in your gorgeous outdoor space and for being the kind of local business that makes events like this feel effortless. We’re so grateful for the partnership.

To @kellykapow, thank you for leading such a strong (and spicy 🔥) Mat Pilates class. You had everyone shaking, sweating, and smiling all at once.

And to every single person who showed up, sipped, stretched, and stayed a while: thank you. This community is what makes Sweat & Social what it is, and we don’t take that for granted. What started as a passion project has grown into something we’re so proud of, and it’s because of all of you.

Last but certainly not least, our swag bag sponsors! Let’s be honest, the swag is a big reason why people love our events, so thank you for your generosity and for supporting this passion of ours!

Summer isn’t over yet, we’ve got more to come. Stay tuned 👀

The new school year is fast approaching… and this number feels more meaningful than ever. 🍎✨

Together, we’ve helped provide 14,408 meals to children across Canada through Breakfast Club of Canada.

Every time you choose Six N Stone, you’re doing more than choosing a piece of jewelry you love — you’re helping a child start their day with a full belly and the fuel they need to learn, grow and thrive.

As kids across the country get ready to head back to the classroom, I’m feeling especially grateful for every single person who has shopped, shared, supported and cheered on this little business. 🤍

14,408 meals — and counting.

Thank you for helping me turn beautiful jewelry into something even more beautiful. ✨
