Nourish to Flourish - Body, Mind & Soul Event

This month we are shifting the focus back onto ourselves by redefining nourishment. We’ve extended our definition of nourish to encompass more than just what we eat. 

NOURISH - “to provide the body, mind, and soul with necessary food and substances for growth, health, and good condition”.

On Sunday August 30, 2020 @ 12 PM, we will uncover the importance of nourishing ourselves within, and how it directly reflects our physical being. Our live webinar includes a nutrition focused Q+A session with Personal Trainer Vanessa Golec and an education session on our month’s sponsors! With the webinar, you will receive our August Experience-In-A-Box filled with products that align with our definition and goals to nourish the body, mind and soul. In addition to previous sponsor, Dr Dennis Gross, we’ve included products from local small businesses that we know you’ll love!

Each ticket is $40 dollars  and includes access to the webinar and free shipping of our Experience Box (valued over $165!)

We can’t wait to see you!

Gentle Hatha Flow with Live Sound Bath and Tarot Reading

Break a sweat and also experience an unparalleled relaxation experience with us. Our online class begins with a vibrational live sound bath followed with a tarot card reading that will allow for an intention filled full-body yoga practice.

We are also including an educational panel to explore topics of wellness and CBD products. We know that many have questions on the subject but don’t know where to ask. That’s why we've specially invited experts in respective fields to give you honest information straight from the source. Come as you are with your questions: we'll have time for an open Q&A that is educational and free of all judgement. 

Leading the yoga practice is Rachel Lee, a certified yoga teacher based in the downtown core of Toronto. With a background in television arts and journalism, she is acutely focused on providing empowering classes through clear and concise language. What's more, her love for shooting and producing videos means she loves to communicate through body language as well. 

Charmaine is a trauma-informed sound healer & meditation teacher who has been teaching since 2016 and practicing for over a decade. Passionate about using music, sound and tarot for healing, you can find her playing her spirit drum, wind gong, chimes and crystal bowl and facilitating yin/restorative yoga, meditation classes and workshops.

Conquering stressed skin - A 21 day challenge

We will be collaborating with Dr. Dennis Gross and Gush on this 21-Day Skincare journey with you. We will also be hosting a Zoom call to do the Box unveil together so we would ask everyone to not peek at their grab bag until the day of our meeting together. 

This will give our attendees a chance to really have that customized experience where all their questions can be addressed by a Dr. Dennis Gross expert. Our goal is to give everyone a straight- from-the source experience where we will also explain why we have curated this collection for the challenge and why it suits everyone’s needs.

There is no sales pitch, this zoom experience is about bringing everyone together, explaining the challenge and products, and another way to have fun! The bonus is a grab bag FULL of goodies with a value worth over $175.

For those of you that have been DMing us about your skin concerns after our videos, this bag is for YOU. This isn’t about just the products, this is an actual workshop where you will get a chance to meet these industry professionals where you normally wouldn’t have the chance. They’re there to address skin concerns on a personal level.

Please submit your order before May 10, to ensure that you do have your grab bag for the unveil on May 16. Any purchases made after the cut off date will still be delivered but may not be able to guarantee that you will have it on May 16 due to our current situation.

 

Spaces are limited, and will be a first come first serve basis.

Ticket price includes shipping and handling on standard shipping.

Virtual self-care unboxing event

Virtual self-care unboxing event

This workshop is ALL about self-care! As we all know, Note to Self Movement is normally a live events based platform where we host monthly events based around cosmetics, skincare, and wellness to empower individuals through education, experience, and a community of like-minded individuals. We try our best to provide an influencer-like experience for everyone.

Due to recent changes in circumstances and the global pandemic, we cannot host these events live, but that’s not going to stop us from bringing the event to you, and best of all, in the comfort of your own home!

For April, we have curated a grab bag valued at $150 that is focused around self-care. Self-care is more important than ever during this self-isolation and now is the perfect time to invest on ourselves and our self-care practices.
Cost of curated box is $50 CAD which includes shipping & handling, and taxes.

We know staying home alone can be scary especially for those that are so used to being on the go, or busy taking care of everyone else. And now that we have this time to look inward, we don’t know what to do with it.

That’s why in the grab bag, you will find some items that will help with your self-care routine while keeping it fun and at the same time you get to learn how to indulge yourself with products you never knew existed before! Participating brands are: Burberry, Gush, Josie Maran and Living Proof.

We will also host two live unboxing sessions on Zoom so there are more opportunities to attend either one on your schedule. During this Zoom call, you will have a chance to speak to leading industry experts about some of your skincare concerns, and learn about each product you are receiving and how to use it.

Plus, it’s always fun meeting new people and interacting, especially right now! Being on the zoom call is optional, but we just want to give everyone a chance to ask about the products they got and how to take full advantage of them

*Please note that tickets purchased before April 19 will have their box delivered before our Zoom meetup for unveil. Any tickets purchased after April19 will still receive the grab bag but can’t guarantee that it will arrive before our Zoom Meetup due to the current situation. Thank you for your understanding :)

Looking forward to hearing from you (and hopefully seeing you on Zoom),

FIND YOUR CENTER

This yoga/ meditation workshop takes us on a deep dive into who we are at the core and helps us to connect with our inner-selves.

Finding your center is an essential component for healthy self-development. Your relationship with your centre is an important foundation for spiritual maturity/identity.

True power stems from an innate strength which is not created by any one external reference point, but rather an internal solidification of an established center. In this event through a blend of yoga and meditation, we will look inward to our self and explore our centre.

Cultivating a healthy relationship with our center will echo outwardly enhancing one's quality of life.

Let's sit together and begin this journey within to find one's center!

S.O.S A Cure for your winter skin

We wanted to end 2019 with a bang! Our final event of the year was fully skincare driven, with an emphasis on one-on-one consultations. Each attendee had the opportunity to sit down with industry professionals in an unbiased setting to discuss their skincare goals for the new year.

Topping off this influencer-like experience was a goody bag full of some incredible new skincare to take home and test out! The products were curated with a focus on pampering skin during the harsh, dry winter months.

Our aim was to provide our attendees with an opportunity to truly learn about skincare products beyond a sales pitch or pressure to buy. It was the perfect end to the year!

Box N' Mask

This event was a fun and memorable experience! The first portion of the workshop included a boxing class, followed by group meditation in facial sheet masks... with a twist. The facial sheet mask didn't have a cut-out for your mouth! This made it difficult to speak and really amplified the effects of the guided meditation session.

Everyone had an opportunity to sit down one-on-one with skincare experts in attendance to discuss specific questions or concerns. We aim to include consultations like these in each of our events because of how skincare varies between individuals.

Of course these workshops wouldn't be complete without the full bag of products given out! Having the freedom to explore and thoroughly test-out certain products empowers people to make well informed decisions on what is best for them.

Bumble x Note To Self Movement

Our very first event was in partnership with Bumble; and we went in with the intention to empower every attendee. Our panel of industry experts, comprised of founders and education executives from top brands, spoke about many skin concerns that have confusing or conflicting remedies and provided clear guidance. More importantly, guests had an opportunity to sit down and discuss their individual skin concerns with any of the experts one-on-one. 

In addition to new knowledge, all attendees took home a bag full of products to test out thoroughly. Some of the products hadn't launched and weren't available in stores!

Each month we host a workshop with a different theme centered around our main goal; empowering as many people as possible.

Introduction to meditation

While mindfulness is something we all naturally possess, it’s not something we naturally recognize within ourselves. It becomes accessible once we tap into it by practicing on a daily basis.

People often think it’s extremely challenging to shut your mind down. However, the reality of meditation is simply shifting your focus consciously. We will have industry experts to guide us through this wellness journey. If you’re interested in starting your 2020 with mindfulness, then this workshop is for you!
