Curb appeal is an interesting thing. On the one hand, you can’t see or appreciate it when you’re living inside your house.

So what are the factors that contribute to it, and how can you increase your home’s curb appeal?

Despite things slowly beginning to reopen, gyms are going to be one of the last places people are going to want to return to… and the fact that you can’t find fitness equipment anywhere – except obnoxious attempts at price-gouging like this idiot, for example – means more and more people are looking for workouts they can do at home with no equipment whatsoever. If you’re looking for a series of no-equipment fitness workouts you can easily do at home, here are a few videos to get you started.

Thinking about the lessons I’ve learned since I first started writing back in February of 2017, a few lessons really stood out to me.

Like many of you, I was deeply saddened by the news of George Floyd’s murder on US Memorial Day. It wasn’t until I heard some of my black coworkers and friends speak up about what they were feeling, and why, however, that I began to understand just how differently people can experience the world based on the colour of their skin.

If you’ve never read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, you’re missing out.

Earlier this week, Toronto Mayor John Tory announced a new program, titled “ShopHERE,” that aims to help local small businesses develop virtual storefronts during the COVID quarantine. It’s a great step to help support the local ma and pa shops that make up a crucial part of our economy. The thing is, it shouldn’t have taken a pandemic to make us want to support small businesses.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting really tired of all the doom-and-gloom news about the coronavirus these days. Staying inside is super-important for the sake of protecting others, but that doesn’t mean you have to subject yourself to nothing but negative news day-in, day-out.
