Aurum Skincare, is a brand created in my very own home town, Dawson City. For a long time I’d followed them on Instagram and I’d been meaning to purchase a bottle of their Calming Birch Serum for ages. It was delightful when the lovely Joanne reached out and asked if I’d like to try it out. The serum arrived a few days later and I started using it right away. That was three weeks ago and I finally feel ready to talk you through my thoughts on it.

When I was living in Vancouver around 2010 (eons ago now), I painted my nails once or twice or a week. It always made me feel just that little bit more put together. Since returning home to Yukon polishing my nails is one of the many grooming rituals, along with threading my brows and waxing various body parts, that’s fallen to the wayside. I’ll blame it on the pandemic…. even though I’ve been home for nearly seven years now.

I’ve been using Poshmark for over a year now with a fair bit of success. I’m a Poshmark Ambassador, I have 16.9k followers, and I’ve earned over $1000. Not bad! I’ve picked up a few Poshmark selling tips and tricks along the way and today I’m going to share them with you!

First things first, if you’re new to Poshmark, be sure to use my invite code “poutineandprada” when you sign up to earn a $15 credit towards your first purchase. I get a $15 credit as well, which is always very much appreciated!

I’d love to start off this year with a blog post highlighting everything I learned in 2020 and my motivational goals/plans/tips for a fantastic 2021, but the truth is that I am feeling apathetic about 2021 at best. At this time of year we are bombarded with fresh start motivational images, quotes, and tips. I’ve never really been into it and I’m not likely to morph into a new person overnight just because it’s a new year. This year it seems particularly trite and tiresome.
