Does this newsletter not give you Super Soul Sunday vibes w/ a little bit of memefoolery?! 

Anyway, my friends love to hate me for my undeniable influence and lowkey shopping addiction. Whenever we get together, I have a link or promo code to share with them. 

I tried doing the influencer thing a few years back but after two #Godivapartner posts on my Instagram, I decided I would rather buy my own chocolate than hashtag ad. 

But — much like Oprah — I do love sharing my favorite things with people. Just ask the 10 happy sleepers I convinced to buy a Pillow Cube last year. 

Below you'll find some of my favorite picks for business, productivity, and self-care. There are some affiliate links FYI but I would never promote something I haven't used and love. 

Enjoy!

SOFTWARE

What I'm using in 2023:

• Milanote - for project and content planning, personal to-dos, and document/link organization

• Bonsai - for proposals, contracts, invoicing, and bookkeeping (referral link)

• Flodesk - for email marketing and checkout forms (referral link)

• Calendly - for scheduling meetings

BUSINESS

Invest in your business:

• Type C Creative - As of this week, I am booked for January. If you'd like to work with Type C Creative in the new year, I have two spots open in February. Reply to this email to learn more! 

• Tell Me a Story - If you'd like to invest in your brand and storytelling in 2023, I could not recommend working with Hillary enough. I completed her solo retreat last Fall and it has been one of the best investments I've made in my business.

SELF-CARE

Don't forget to take care of yourself:

• Bushyl - a former Type C client but I swear I'm not biased! Steph's handmade soaps and candles are heaven on E. I am partial to the Palo Santo candle, but you can't go wrong with anything on the site.

• Color Theory Tea Co. - a local-to-me tea company whose branding makes me SMILE. 

• easyplant - I'M TIRED OF KILLING PLANTS BUT I WANT PLANTS!! Easyplants are self-watering, easy-care plants that will brighten up your space for a lot longer than if you were to try to remember to water them. 

• Movement Genius - a digital wellness platform that provides live and on-demand classes to help you improve your mental, emotional and physical well-being. I've been using the platform for about a month now and I love how simple, inclusive, and thoughtful the sessions are.

PLANNING

My favorite planners:

• The Self-Care Planner - I love this planner. Perfect for someone who wants a daily, undated planner without making a year-long commitment (it's only 13 weeks!). A great one to start the year with.

• The Balance Notebook - This has been my go-to this year. I've already gone through three of them. Great for those who need some flexibility, clear personal and professional divides, and lots of room for note taking. 

• Vertical Weekly Planner - I CAVED! I've been seeing this on Instagram for months and finally gave in. I've already been adding January deadlines and events and I'm obsessed. Perfect for people who want to see monthly, weekly, and notes sections all on one page.
