I just googled “how to do a burpee” so I’m ready for our IG live workout with @travisadunn in 60 minutes! Join us for a HIIT workout raising funds for the North Shore Crisis Services society at noon today! Trav is a best friend from high school - so I’m sure he’s not about to go easy on me 😂 Join us! And if you are able to make a donation of any size for the North Shore Crisis Services Society, please do. They work tirelessly to support women fleeing abusive relationships and that’s something we can get behind ❤️

The Bespoke team is missing one another! So we started having zoom lunches a couple times a week. Everyone noticed that I crimped my hair this week. It's huge. But I actually did it on the lowest of 4 intensity settings, so next week I'm going to crimp on level 4. We're all looking forward to it.

Do you have any tips on working from home? How are you staying connected to your coworkers? Or are you enjoying the distance? 😉

Have you signed up for our next round of instagram

Have you signed up for our next round of instagram x isolation fun!? TOMORROW we have The Office trivia at 8pm. And if you're one of those people who sometimes start a sentence and don't even know where it's going... and you just hope you find it along the way, I hope you'll join us! 😉

Check our story highlight "let's hang" for upcoming events. Make sure you click the reminder for our "nailed it" challenge on April 22, and our live workout with @travisadunn on April 24th. Travis is a pro Vancouver fitness instructor who makes our team laugh through the entire class. This 30 minute session will be free of charge, but we do ask if you're able to leave a donation - we'll be sending all proceeds directly to the North Shore Crisis Centre to help the fight of violence against women.

Have you guys seen that trend on TikTok where you

Have you guys seen that trend on TikTok where you choose your "quarantine character"? You essentially choose your character like you would in a video game, but they are quarantine themed (fitness, cooking, workaholic, couch potato). Which is yours? I'm probably a workaholic snacker posing as someone who is doing yoga.

Play with us! We have thought up some new instagra

Play with us! We have thought up some new instagram challenges and activities for the next few weeks ✨ We had a blast hosting friends trivia a few weeks back, so we're going to be hosting one live trivia night per week! First up - The Office trivia on Sunday, April 19th at 8pm. FURTHER to that, we're going to host a different challenge or activity each Wednesday! We will announce them all in our stories tomorrow. There will be prizes! All supporting our local small businesses. Remember to put on your reminders so you don't forget to join in! In the meantime, who is your favourite office character? Jim? Correction. Dwight.

These are some weird times in our industry! We have been busy little 🐝's trying to figure it out and pivot our focus into something we can offer during this time when our day to day business has halted to a complete stop. And we are pretty pumped to announce that we have officially launched our "Let's Party.... Later" gift cards! And now through May 31st you can use the code "IWANTAHUG" for 10% off your purchase. This is a great opportunity if you were planning to book with us in the future, you can book with a discount, without the requirement of choosing your date! The bonus? You'd be helping a small business who is doing their darn hardest to keep swimming in rough waters. Many of you have reached out and offered to pay above your required deposit, or pay your full balance before the due date. You've left us speechless and feeling beyond hopeful. We thank you so, so, so much for your continued support and kindness!

Thank you all so much for the podcast/movie/activi

Thank you all so much for the podcast/movie/activity recommendations! I admit I’ve been feeling a bit bummy today, but @brenebrown is giving me some life 🙌🏼✨ have you listened to her new podcast? The first eppy touches on the feeling of being new at something and the vulnerability around it. She describes not liking the feeling of being “wobbly” at something and it totally resonated with me. We are all “new” at getting through a pandemic. So, some days are bound to feel a little bummy. I’m bustling around our apartment as a pick me up. Feeing cozy and tidy tonight will help hit the reset for tomorrow!

How are you guys doing? Did you have a productive start to the week?

Happy Easter, dear friends! Even though this year

Happy Easter, dear friends! Even though this year might look a little different (my husband and I are eating spaghetti on the couch watching... you guessed it... survivor), and we may not be seeing family and friends, or eating the same delicious food as planned. But hey, this will just make next year all the more yummy. How did you celebrate today? I haven't told Charlie yet, but I'm about to demand he hide mini eggs around the house 🐰

We played in an insta competition today with @petitepearlevents and @celsiafloral for a #coopedupeastersup challenge! Here is our cheeky little Easter tablescape. You have until tomorrow to enter with a chance to win a $100 Celsia giftcard! Whoo! Thank you guys for hosting such a fun insta activity!
