My mornings in Unika Swim

What is divine feminine power? What does it feel like, and when I find it how do I use it? A couple questions I have been asking myself lately. I can see and feel the masculine energy within me. I see him when I’m working, when I’m networking, and pushing within my business. The masculine energy within me is external, active and forceful energy. All the things we are taught to be within the workforce or to get what you want in life. You must be fearless and take chances. Energies I know are necessary, but are they all the time? Lately life has been teaching me otherwise. There needs be a balance. I am learning to activate my divine feminine. Feminine energy is a quiet power. It is purposeful, a healing power that is in the present moment. It’s a deep knowing and moves us into a state of love and compassion, and creates space for other energies. Feminine energy is the source to healing. It is where we meet our whole self. The ego wants to distract us with desires, demands and worries. Sitting with our feminine energy is sitting with ourself at the purest form. Here we know the answers, or are able to move through difficult times with grace. It is presence and power combined in one. Sounds beautiful doesn’t it? I’ve been sitting with myself and this a lot lately, and the present moment has started to become a constant, and life is feeling just a little bit sweater. Operating through life is both feminine and masculine, it’s mastering the balance of the two that brings pure joy. Anyways, here are a couple photos of lately. I’m really really loving this Florida lifestyle. What a special place to be. Truly thankful for this opportunity. x C

It’s been a while since I’ve been alone for a long period of time. The last time I was in this position I just moved to New York. I’m finally feeling at home here. I am really enjoying the solitude and space to move freely, open to every opportunity that comes my way. It’s remarkable the things you can learn about yourself when you sit still and allow yourself to just be with yourself. So much came to the surface for me that surprised me. Instead of pushing the feelings aside, I sat with them… and talked to myself a lot lol. But I figured it out, on my own. And the process has been really nice. I’ve sat at dinner alone a lot. Finding low key beach bars and listening to music with the smell of the ocean.
I joined Anatomy gym in Miami, and invested in a personal trainer. I always wanted to learn how to properly weight train and I am really loving it. The new projects are going well and I met some really great new people! I’m feeling hopeful for whats to come. What is to come is completely different than I ever could have imagined, but that’s how it goes right. K, got to go, chat soon. x C

Hello from Florida :) I’ve relocated for a bit to take care of some projects happening here. Planta West Palm Beach has opened! I love the way the new wallpaper turned out! I worked very closely with iCrave and Steven with this print. We wanted to evolve past the banana leaves into something that was sexy, fun, light and fresh. The space really does look beautiful. Kayla is here! We have some fun projects we are working on, excited to get those moving. Anyways, just wanted to stop by and say hi! xx C

I took this photo while in Quebec shooting our third one of one rug drop. I remember feeling tired. I remember feeling excited and hopeful for my future. I also remember feeling anxious and scared. I love to set my own timelines for when I believe or want things to happen. I forget that the timeline is not mine to make. The universe doesn’t know what the month of March means, or the word Wednesday. It moves at its own divine timing setting things up behind the scenes, only asking for patience in return. Trusting that and keeping the faith is hard. And frustrating. And annoying. While learning how to sit in this uncomfortable space life will gift tiny breakthroughs. I used to think of the word “breakthrough” as this huge shift and grand moment of doors opening bringing in all the wishes you had in front of you. Breakthrough is what we are patient for what we have been waiting for, right? Although I do believe that exists, I now also believe in tiny breakthroughs. I’ve started to sit with myself and ask myself the advice I am seeking before seeking the advice externally. As my business grows the decisions I make have a little more weight to them and it’s scary sometimes. I had to go through something recently and I decided to do it alone - for the first time I did not get reassurance, advice or an opinion. I decided and acted on what I intuitively knew was right. And you know what it was easy and actually extremely liberating. In that moment I felt a shift, a change of perspective, a tiny breakthrough. We are the only ones in our way. Sometimes it’s important to do it alone and prove to that side of you that says “you can’t” that you can, and are so capable. x C

It felt so nice to be on-site for a client meeting. I can’t wait to put CKD up on the walls! We might be doing Apples from Open Air in her kitchen. It’s how I envisioned Apples in a home.
We were asked to do a bespoke colour way from our one of one rug concept. We sourced this beautiful rug from Pakistan and customized the flowers to match the pink. Really love how it turned out!

It’s been 7 day work weeks lately. The work life balance really doesn’t exist with covid. CKD has some fun projects coming up that I’m excited to finally launch and see open! It’s March, and what feels like the final count down until we can open up again and get life back. Greystones in Orangeville is finally open. I worked with Solid Interiors with this project. This bar is magic. CKD has a new rug drop coming soon! I am going to shoot the rugs this week. I’m currently curled up on the couch with my duvet as my throw blanket. Excited to sit here have a glass of wine and answer some emails. Hope you had a wonderful Sunday.
