If you know me, you know I love sustainable and purpose-led businesses. I am a minimalist (but I think you have to be these days). So what I do own is usually the things that make me truly happy! That is why I love to partner with brands that share my values and intentions.

At Essential Shift integrity is a foundation of everything we do.

So, when we promote something, it’s because we truly believe in the company and people behind it. If I’m an affiliate of a brand, it’s because I know, trust, use, and - most importantly - love it.

The brands I’m an affiliate of align with my culture of wellness, sustainability, yet sophisticated, style and the lifestyle that fuels my business.

Usually I share a lot of insights and knowledge in my blogs, but I thought it was time for me to share a light-hearted post about my favorite things so you can support those businesses! This is also a chance for you to support businesses during this challenging time!

Let’s look at a few things that I’m using and loving right now. You can even enjoy a discount code.

BUSINESS AFFILIATES

Canva

The design of Essential Shift has been a powerful way for me to share guides and content. Canva is my favourite platform for getting creative! Within Canva I have my logos, fonts and colours saved so it is SO easy to create beautiful designs. I love carving out time in my week to create the posts to go with the Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook captions! Of course, it is super easy to share with my team too!

Kartra

Kartra is the platform I host all of my digital products on! It contains my membership and all my other amazing programs. It allows me to also do my email marketing and build funnels (very easily too). Super easy to use and allows me to know who is interested in working with me!

Final thoughts

It feels like we are all business owners so it is important to support one another in those times. The power of community is not only extremely important now, but always! Support small business and share the businesses you love, it helps others find businesses they love too (while helping out the business owner).
