Cultivating Joy

Crafting Wellness

Creative tools and experiences to spark

reflection, resilience, and connection.

Welcome Lovely People!

Are you feeling like you just don't have enough time every day to make room for self care? I've been there.

So, let's change our idea of what "wellness practices" actually look like by using research-based clinical concepts and adding some playful twists!

You won't find any magic wands or empty promises here - just honest experiences, a bit of (occasionally dark) humour, and some realistic ways to thrive and find your own creative side.

Take care,

Maegs

"This place is a cozy corner of the internet. The combination of real science and creative expression helped me manage my stress when work felt overwhelming. Highly recommend!"

"The daily prompts are like a deep breath in a busy schedule. Finally, a resource that understands the professional grind while still keeping things playful and pretty on my desk."

What we're hearing:

"I purchased the bath bombs in a variety of scents and colours and two of the scrubs. Both my daughter and I love the smell of the bath bombs and how great our skin feels after the bath. I can say the same for the scrubs. After finishing one jar in as little over a week, I looked forward to the aroma and silky soft skin after showering with the scrubs. We live in central Alberta and every winter we are always fighting a battle with dry skin and thanks to This Place I Love it's no longer a losing battle."

"The bath bombs and scrubs are awesome ! I used the peppermint and eucalyptus bath bomb and it was so relaxing! I also used the unicorn sugar scrub which smells so good, and makes your skin so soft! I used it on my face and my face is nice and refreshed ! Can’t wait to try the Himalayan salt scrub !!!"

"My kids love the unicorn bath bombs!! I personally love the "Chocolate Mousse," my skin feels SO smooth and moisturized afterwards!! I can't wait to try my new "My Happy Place" shower scrub!! Love these products"

Since the use of profanity is a personal preference, anything containing swear words can be easily identified by this "Swear Jar" icon:

The Niagara region of Ontario, Canada is situated on treaty land. This land is steeped in the rich history of the First Nations such as the Hatiwendaronk, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Today, this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement’s three principles: to take only what you need, leave enough for others, and always keep the dish clean.

Acknowledging the peoples whose territory we are on, and the agreements that guide their stewardship of the land, reminds us to reflect on and respect their unique relationship to this land. It also is an invitation for all of us to identify and engage in actions that respect and reinforce our commitments to Truth & Reconciliation and Indigenous Rights.

However, they are not a substitute for professional support. Think of them as a boost for your personal self care activities - not to take the place of expert advice.
