#BlackLivesMatter

– though media attention has slowed down and protests are no longer on the forefront of conversation, the fight for justice lives on. It’s no longer enough to not be racist, we must be actively anti-racist. Thank you to local photographer, @dreamingdriftwood forkatie@whatsonchilliwack.ca this powerful photography.

This has been a trying time, and I am proud to see how our community has come together. I am proud to be a citizen of Chilliwack. Since moving here years ago, I immediately felt home, and that there was a sense of community that couldn’t be found many other places. During this pandemic, it’s being seen everywhere. Though it’s unfortunate that many events have had to cancel for this issue, it’s great to see which ones have been able to switch to an online format! Please keep checking in on the Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages for more up to date information as it comes in. We want to be the place to go to find events within the community.

Tips

to get through a

Pandemic COVID-19 has required a lot of us to check our daily spending. Just because things are going back to “normal” now does not mean you have to go back to the exact spending habits as pre-COVID. Did you reduce some non-essential spending during the last 3 months? Did you notice a diﬀerence in your qualit of life without that spending? My #1 quality tip- consider those subscription services you’re paying for. We are living in a subscription heavy world right now and we often forget how they really pile up- but are they necessary?

Do not login and check your investment account balances every day! Getting non-stop updates is not necessary if your intention is to invest for the long term, and it creates panic to see those daily ﬂuctuations. We very rarely make wise decisions when we are in a state of panic. Give yourself a break, and limit yourself to weekly or even monthly check-ins. This is often the hardest one for people to adjust to. We live in a society where we often do the opposite- we spend and then we save what is leftover. This often puts us in a position that when we get close to retirement- or have an emergency such as a pandemic- we are often unprepared and feel less secure. After ne necessary expenses such as shelter and food, saving should be the next item you budget fornot those non-essential subscriptions. Work with a professional to ﬁgure out how much and in what way you should be saving.

Ah, you’re talking about brand voice, my friend! Here’s where it gets really interesting! To briefly skip back a little bit, where I’ve spoken about branding and consistency in your content in previous articles, when it comes to brand voice, this one premise should be underlying every piece of content you put out in relation to your business. Your brand voice encompasses everything about your business - your values and beliefs, how you speak to your clients and potential clients. It’s the way you might sell your product or service, but it’s always the way you’d deal with a complaint or problem. It’s the words you use on your website and your social media. The words you use in your emails and newsletters. Even the words you use in those professional documents like a contract or privacy policy. And having that sound consistently like you will do so much to keep your brand voice in keeping with everything else in your business.

WHAT’S ON!

A GOOD READ The Shining – Stephen King Even if you have seen and loved Stanley Kubrick’s film, maybe even especially if you’ve seen and loved it, you should read the book. The book is not the film. The book is a deeper (and scarier) experience altogether. Stephen King is a master storyteller, and in The Shining he created a classic novel of possession and isolation. The Torrances are a damaged family. Jack is an ex-teacher and sometime writer with a drink problem, who takes the only job he can find – the winter caretaker at a hotel called The Overlook. He takes along his wife, and young son Danny. They are welcomed by the chef, Dick Hallorann, who has psychic abilities which he calls ‘the shine’, and Dick quickly realises that Danny shines too. He has to leave but forms a powerful connection with Danny promising that wherever he is if Danny calls to him, he will hear and come – a promise he later honours. Ostensibly Danny is the main character

and the book is about his father’s descent into madness, but it is the hotel which dominates the story. King paints an incredibly detailed picture with undertones of American Indian burial grounds, multiple homicides, hauntings and sightings. Jack appears to become possessed by forces at work there. The tension and claustrophobia build a threatening atmosphere. Prepare to be transported into the long, dark corridors at The Overlook Hotel and know that something dreadful awaits you there. There’s a plot twist or another dimension on every page, as you explore King’s carefully crafted nightmare landscape, populated with the spectres of dead children and their maniac father. As the plot develops, we question whether Jack is really possessed or simply an alcoholic losing his mind, and whether Danny is psychic or whether what he sees is because he’s been so damaged by his dysfunctional family. King’s skill is to weave together the demons, both real and imagined

without drawing any distinct boundaries between the two. As the story builds to its terrifying conclusion you will be on the edge of your seat. The Shining is a book that doesn’t only deserve a place on the bookshelves of horror fans, but of anyone who enjoys a well-crafted, fast-paced story with plenty of depth. Read it and you won’t be disappointed.

By the Light of the Halloween Moon – Caroline Stutson & Kevin Hawkes By the Light of the Halloween Moon – Caroline Stutson and Kevin Hawkes I rarely recommend a book you may have to find second hand, but there are plenty available from various sources and it is well worth the effort in time for Halloween. Caroline Stutson’s infectious graphic story, full of rhythmic repetition and alliteration, simply bounces along. It all begins on the night of a full Halloween moon, when we see a wiggling toe being stalked by a black cat. The cat never reaches the toe, because it is stopped by a witch, and so the scene is set for a succession of scary creatures,

By ????? ???????

including a bungling, bouncy, breezy bat and a grumpy grungy hobgoblin sprite, who are all thwarted in their various attempts to reach the toe. The repetition of key lines makes it a terrific book for reading aloud and encourages younger children to join in, while Kevin Hawkes’ scary-comic illustrations make By the Light of the Halloween Moon an appealing book for children and adults alike. The ending, where we finally meet the owner of the wiggling toe, is delightful and sure to leave everyone smiling.

Fall SkinCare Prep for Radiant Looking Skin HERE ARE NON-INVASIVE SKINCARE TIPS WHEN YOU NEED CLINICAL RESULTS AT HOME

T he summer months can take a toll on your body in many ways, but the sun and sand especially can cause dry, dull, damaged and (dare I say) aged skin. With every new season, it’s a good idea to evaluate your skincare routine and make changes based on the needs of your skin. That’s why come fall, I recommend treatments to replenish your skins natural moisture and help you capture a youthful appearance. •••

3) Then, there’s always-important peace of mind and contentment. Who doesn’t want less mental stress or anxiety? Following a great facial skincare routine at home outlined speciﬁcally for YOUR skins needs by a trained professional takes the stress out of facial care and ads back the relaxation.

5) Dark spots and sun-damaged areas are targeted, and dull skin is transformed, leaving a glowing result. Any advanced signs of aging are set back to a more youthful state with a range of Clinical Serum options. Keep in mind, medical-grade cosmeceuticals are your best option for skincare treatments which can be done right in the comfort of your own home.
