Bouncing Back: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!

The Rundown Life isn't easy. We all go through trials and tribulations. Some more than others, but unfortunately it's inevitable for bad things to happen - that's just how life is. I try to be optimistic about things and count it all joy - but sometimes it's hard... I've decided to share a few of my stories and how I've bounced back from them in hopes of encouraging someone (even if it's just one person I'll be glad!) I'm a huge advocate for mental health by the way, so I'll be sharing mostly from that point of view, just a heads up!...

How to Handle a Creative Block: 10 Fun Solutions!

Overview Have you ever felt stuck in a creative rut? Me too! And, it's the absolute worst feeling! Creative blocks can be the bane of an artist’s existence. Imagine staring at a blank screen/paper/canvas with an equally blank mind and an overwhelming desire to be artsy fartsy. It's like you want to create something but you just can't summon up energy or motivation to get started......

10 Reasons Why I Love Windsor!

Overview In case you didn't already know, I live in Windsor, Ontario Canada. The City of Roses, Ford City or "South Detroit" - I absolutely love it here, if I didn't I probably wouldn't be writing a blog post about it. On that note - I've never understood why one would want to leave their city (especially when they say there's nothing to do...) This baffles me....

The Lady Behind the Booth!

Hi! I'm Whimsy - I mean, Brooke. Nah!! I'm Natalie. Brooke is my middle name. Haha!! It's a running joke - I just had to. I'll answer to both names though! I’m a 35 year old woman living in Windsor, Ontario Canada. I live in a historical side of town and I absolutely love it. I moved here about 3 years ago now, and it's been lovely seeing my growth and such......

Hey everyone! 👋🏻✨ I’ve been a bit MIA because I’ve been working on some new and exciting things!

But, first…

Eep!!! 😵‍💫✨ Today was such a day. I decided to purchase my new domain (and set it up all in one day) which meant merging my two domains - aka a whole lot of techy stuff!! When my mind is set on something, I get it done. Haha!

I can normally do all this with clear instructions but this was beyond me and my capabilities. Unfortunately my hosting site has AI customer service which I absolutely loathe so I asked for an actual agent and finally I could breathe again… they helped me do what I had to do and now it’s finally up!

The link can be found in my bio! You can still access it from the URL on my business card as I’ve set it up to redirect to the new one! Thankfully!

The shop isn’t live yet - but that’ll be coming soon! 🥳✨

I’ve had my blog since 2010 and boy, what a throwback! If you’ve been following along since then you deserve a whole ton of cookies! I’m so excited to see what’s next.
