It is already the last month of 2020, a year that has presented many unique challenges for all of us. In reflection, I have found myself to be rather unproductive and unmotivated during this year. With the year coming to a close, I look back and wish that I had accomplished more than I have. [...]

Luckily, Alauna Whelan creates both local & sustainable jewelry options and they are beyond beautiful. She gifted me with this stunning necklace and I haven’t taken it off since. Alauna finds her inspiration in nature and has [...]

I have been a long-time admirer of SheNative and founder, Devon Fiddler. I became aware of this local company several years ago when I got the opportunity to model for them and to interview Devon for a Saskatoon fashion article.
