Giving back with the Fall 2021 Jilly Box I am so excited to share something very special with you that we are working on over here at Team Jilly Box. As you know, we donate a portion of our proceeds from The Jilly Box sales to a charitable organization each quarter.

Recognizing that traditionally marginalized and underrepresented students face unique barriers and challenges, we have partnered with Okanagan College to create an awards fund specifically for these students. The Jilly Box is making an initial donation of $15,000 CAD towards the creation of this award AND we will match donations up to a maximum of $10,000 CAD. It is our goal that this fund will help open doors to a more equitable and inclusive tomorrow.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much to everyone who donated to this fund.

I look forward to making a difference with you. For more information, please visit our website www.jillybox.com

THE MAKERS

BLUME

Karen Danudjaja Based in Vancouver, BC, Karen Danudjaja was on a mission to create fine powder superfood blends with ingredients she could trust and benefits she could believe in. With anxiety and stress at an all time high, she went out to find proven ingredients that would help you unwind and reset without compromising on taste! Blume is a Canadian, female and minority owned company. Not to mention their products are vegan, cruelty free and made in Canada!

What is your favourite item/ product you make/sell?

This changes all the time! Of course, I love our Pumpkin Spice Blend, I am so proud for it to be included in the Jilly Box. For me it demonstrates our mission so well. Actual pumpkin, all organic ingredients, refined sugar free and caffeine optional. Traditional Pumpkin Spice Lattes have over 12G of sugar and no actual pumpkin. I love that we are providing a healthy alternative to a classic drink people already know and love.

However, I think the blend I reach for the most these days is our new Rose London Fog. It’s just so familiar and soothing, I love that it’s decaf and has a subtle floral taste while being 100% sugar free. Roses have been used for centuries for skin clarity, immune system support and PMS symptom management. This blend feels like a modernized rose elixir, and is such a great introduction to our superfood blends.

Who inspires you?

I am constantly inspired by other women entrepreneurs. I have been lucky enough to meet many women who are leading growth companies while still managing social, family and other commitments. I think there is a new era of female business leaders who are growing and learning together. I have been so lucky to find women who are not leading with competition but rather are on a mission to elevate all women in business. Seeing that peer mentorship and support is extremely motivating.

and flow. Your physical health is so connected to your mental health. Don’t punish yourself over not being perfect all the time, instead chase the good feelings that come with eating well and making time for yourself. I think this is a way more sustainable and accessible approach to wellness.

What is one business lesson you learned along the way?

A no isn’t always a no, it can be the beginning of a conversation. There are customers that we have today that we first approached years ago, it took time to convince them of our mission. I think resilience, belief in yourself are paramount.

You are always going to have naysayers, maybe you need to refine your pitch, maybe you are ahead of your time, maybe your pricing is off. But believe in yourself, be ready to adapt and have patience and persistence. Things don’t happen overnight.

6

What do you hope people will get out of your items/products OR how do you want your items/products to make people feel?

I want customers to be able to take a moment for themselves. A moment for self care. Many of our blends are caffeine free and are meant to encourage a ritual of taking a quiet moment all to yourself. We want wellness to be fun, not stressful.

With all our messaging and products we go as simple as possible. We want to be your best friend, trusted partner in wellness. Take the guesswork and confusion out of the health food aisle and provide solutions instead.

Being healthy is about feeling good, not being perfect.

What is one thing on your fall bucket list that you can’t wait to cross off?

Seeing my family! I grew up in Ontario and haven’t been able to see my parents in over a year like so many. My parents haven’t even had a chance to meet my fiancé in person! I would love to see them and am hopeful to be able to go back to Ontario this fall to see them, maybe even enjoy a PSL together ;)

ways to make the most out of a new season

As we transition into this new

season, it can start to feel a little overwhelming as our “to do” list starts to grow. Personally, I find it valuable to time block some downtime into my calendar when my work-life balance starts to feel off. By scheduling self care into your calendar you are holding yourself accountable and ensuring you get that much needed rest and relaxation because taking care of yourself is key when getting back into the Fall routine especially after those lazy Summer days. I’m sharing 7 ways to make the most out of transitioning into a new season.

J I L LY B OX .C O M | 21

1 . P L AY L I K E A K I D Do you remember being a kid? What was your favourite thing to do? Relive those childhood moments and do something that will light up that inner child of yours. Whether that’s raking up all of the leaves in your yard and then jumping right into that big pile. Or, dig up those awesome smelling Mr. Sketch markers (one of my favourite throwbacks!) and spend some time doodling! Taking time to tap into those nostalgic memories can be great for the soul.

2. TRY SOMETHING NEW Do something you’ve always wanted to do! Life is so exciting, but sometimes we stay within our comfort zones. What is it that you have always wanted to do, but keep putting off? Do you want to be a tourist in your own town for a day? Try guitar or pick that tennis racket up?

There are so many ways to learn new things nowadays, even if it's learning to draw or knit through a Youtube tutorial! Go outside your comfort zone and get living the way you want.

3. JOURNAL Journalling is such a great way to release all of those thoughts we hold on to day in and day out. Not to mention, it's a great tool to help you stay on track and achieve new goals. Be specific about your intentions and goals and check back on them daily to help you stay accountable. This will serve as a great reminder of what you need to do to accomplish them!

22 | FA L L 2 0 2 1

4. LAUGH! Laughter truly is the best medicine. Turn on your favourite move or current binge worthy Netflix series, plan a girls night (wine included!) or check out the autocorrect fails online!!

Whatever it is that makes you laugh out loud, do it often to boost those feel good endorphins!

5 . T R E AT Y O U R S E L F T O H O M E S PA Treat yourself to an at home spa day. Set some time aside to pull out your favourite self care items and indulge! Diffuse a calming essential oil blend, light the candles and run a nice warm bubble bath. Apply your favourite face mask, cut those cucumbers and close your eyes while your favorite playlist, podcast or audiobook plays in the background.

6 . G E T I N T O N AT U R E Take some time to enjoy the natural world around you. Go for a hike, walk to the beach or the perfect view point. Sit down on the ground to really connect to the earth, close your eyes and just let your senses do the work. Listen, breathe and feel all that nature has to offer. Enjoy!

7 . T R Y A N E W R E C I P E ( L I K E O N PA G E 6 ) It’s easy to get into a slump in the kitchen. What better way to spice up your regular routine than to try a new recipe! Be sure to check out the recipes on page 6 for our Pumpkin Spice Steamer to add a little extra pizazz to your morning coffee routine!
