Mortise & Tenon Refill Station

Holly — Sat, 02 May 2020 15:38:00 +0000

I have been wanting to switch to more zero waste products for so long and I have finally done it with the help of Mortise & Tenon. Shockingly enough, I did it all while social distancing! Mortise & Tenon is making it so easy to keep getting the goodies you’ve fallen in love with (my routine deodorant) AND is even getting newbies, like myself, set up with their refill bar! Because EVERYTHING is a little extra confusing these days, I’ve asked them to share some information around how they are handling things during this uncertain time!

Bulk soap/refills:
⁃ Yes! The refill station is available even through the Covid 19 outbreak by delivering new mason jars
at no cost for the jar. Jars can be returned once business gets back to usual.
⁃ Premium bulk products are made by a family run company in B.C. Read more about the products here.
⁃ Starter kits are available! This is what I got! You get a jar to keep, a pump at a discounted price and the
premium product of your choice. This is a great deal as it’s much cheaper than purchasing everything individually!
⁃ Laundry strips are available in 3 varieties pre packed for 32 loads and 2 scents in bulk. How awesome will these be once we are free to travel again?! I got the refill laundry soap in the lavender scent and it is sooo lovely.
⁃ Already have your own mason jars? That’s great! They have lots of mason jar accessories to convert your old jars! Oil pour, sprayers, lids, etc.
⁃ The Routine Deodorant that I love is still available in the regular format and they are still doing the refills. They are
using new jars at no cost that you can return when this is done. I already have my own jar that I have refilled several times so I got a refill in the mason jar and will return it once things return to normal.

Crave Kombucha (REGINA ONLY)
⁃ Free delivery for growlers or six packs or you can toss a bottle or 2 in with another order!
⁃ Flavours: Ginger Lemon, Pink Lemonade, Raspberry Mint, Cranberry Mango- this one is my favourite I would suggest a growler of this flavour! Read more / shop the booch here!

Lodge Cast Iron…

because even those who claim they can’t cook are cooking during the Big Q and I am here for it!!
⁃ This is the Cadillac of cast iron cookware and I am SO excited to show you all how to use this!
⁃ Pre seasoned and ready to cook with which is so convenient!
⁃ Free Canada wide delivery over $100 pre tax

Other helpful information:

⁃ Free in Regina contactless delivery to your doorstep or condo/apartment vestibule with
purchases $20 and more pre tax- this is amazing!

-use the code HOLLY15 for 15% off your purchase! This code will work on anything in their online store! Whether you want to get a starter kit for the refill bar, some (re)zip bags, the Stojo collapsable cup, metal straws, deodorant, or some new bees wax wrap, they’ve got you covered!

Thrift Thruday Featuring Hanger and Rack

Holly — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 19:05:45 +0000

Ahh! I am SO exciting about this new segment, THRIFT THURSDAY! If you’ve been around here for a bit now, you’re likely familiar with Try On Tuesdays. Don’t worry, those aren’t going away. I love supporting local businesses and I will contiue to do so with that series. BUT, it’s obvious there is an enviromental crisis and there is no denying the clothing industy is a major contributing factor. Through this new series, I hope to encourage and inspire you all to think about thrifting as naturally as you would about buying brand new. When we “need” a new dress, I put need in quotations because do we really NEED a new dress… likely not. But when we “need” something like a new dress or clothes for work very few of us (me included) think of going to a second hand store. We either head down to our local boutique or go online to see what we can find. Now, let’s be real, I am JUST as guilty as anyone with this. In fact, I am likely worse, as my job is to help you guys find those things that you “need”. But, we all have to start somewhere and I hope to start doing a lot more thrifting and consigning. It’s good for the environment, it’s much more affordable AND let’s be honest is there anthing cooler than being able to say “it’s vintage” when someone asks where you jacket is from? Ya, didn’t think so.
I’m not confident every Thursday will be Thrift Thursday just yet but I will try to do it as often as I can! Each time will be different. Some weeks I will feature a thrift store that I have found, others will be me doing a try on session featuring some of the pieces I will be dropping off at Hanger and Rack and others might feature a new Thrift IG account I am following and loving. As you can tell, this is new and I am still working out the details so if you have any ideas please share!

So, let’t get this party started, shall we?! I am over the moon excited to be partnering with Hanger and Rack for my first ever Thrift Thursday. If you watch my IG stories consistantly, you’ll likely have heard of Hanger and Rack. I discovered this BEAUTY of a consignment store last year. The second I walked in, it felt different. It is easily the most beautiful consignment store I’ve ever been in. Every detail from the stunning floral feature wall to the gold fixtures makes you feel as if you’re shopping at a designer store… and well, I guess you technically are! They have tonnes of amazing designer brands that range in sizes from 2XS to 3XL.

I try to make it a habit to stop in as often as I can. I beleive that is the key to finding gems, like this leather fringe jacket that I’m FULLY obssessed with. I pulled it off the hanger and instantly fell in love with it. From the second I saw the fringe I imagined all the country concerts and festivals I would wear it to. Because I have a crazy amount of clothes, I decided I didn’t need it and left it. Well, that night I dreamt about it. I woke up and continued to think about, so I got in my Jeep and crossed my fingers it was still there. It was… BEST DAY EVER! $60 for a genuine vintage leather jacket, um YES!

This jacket is one of MANY amazing pieces they have in store and this comes down to the standards they hold for their consigners. They have high standards and it shows. They carefully examine each item as they are looking for quality pieces that are on trend, in good condition, and are also in season. If you’re looking to consign with Hanger & Rack, check out the details below! *Since this graphic has been made they now ask that you call ahead and make an appointment!

Speaking of consigning, I just dropped off two rubbermaid containers full of goodies and I plan to continue to do this about once a month. I am lucky enough to have a closet FULL of beautiful clothes. I love them all, but I truly do not need that many clothes. My clothes will be exclusive to Hanger and Rack and I plan to share each time I drop off clothing, that way if something has caught your eye you will have a good chance of grabbing it at a discounted price!

I hope you’re as excited as I am about this new series! If you happen to stop by Hanger and Rack, please tag us Instagram @teachme_style @hangerandrackconsignment so we can see what you found!!

My Current Obsessions (that would make great gifts)

Holly — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 20:45:50 +0000

I try to share my favourites on IG stories as often as I can but they only last for 24 hours and if you’re anything like me, you won’t remember. So here is a current list of my favourites. They ALL happen to be local, Canadian brands and would make beautiful gifts!

Sunny’s Paw Print Necklace- Tiny Zen Memory CODE: HOLLY15 This would make the most perfect gift for the pet lover in your life! All I did was take a photo of Sunny’s paw and send it in with my order. SO easy and SO thoughtful!

Pet Portrait – a lovely follower of mine pained Sunny and it is still one of my favourite gifts! Here is her Instagram handle @alex_macpherson_

Hillcroft Robe, Pillowcase & Scrunchie – this bamboo robe is legit my favourite thing to get ready in. It’s light and breathable yet cozy at the same time! They also just sent me a silk pillowcase and scrunchie. If you haven’t slept on a silk pillowcase you haven’t lived!! My friend chia told me about them about a year ago I legit can’t sleep without mine!

Wysh Jewelry– this is where my new vintage rose gold ring is from. She has the BEST selection of vintage (and new) jewelry!

Blingo Jewelry Case- You guys are equally as obsessed with this little travel case as I am. It is GENIUS. You can literally toss your dainty necklaces and bracelets in the case, shake it up, and they STILL will be exactly how you put them in there. No tangles! I unfortunately don’t have a discount code but I believe you can use the code HOLLY15 to get 15% off!

Stojo Collapsible Go Cup- If you follow me on IG you will see me using this constantly. It is so handy, cute, and I love how small gets. Keep it in your purse so you never forget it! I got mine at Mortise & Tenon!

Less than two weeks until Christmas eve! What are you most excited for?!!
