Thriving, seeking normalcy, and finding rest.

Hello friends - I’m catching my breath, rediscovering the fun of treating videos as a hobby, and living the truly busy yet fulfilling life of a small business owner. Some of you have probably caught on, but @christinescookie is becoming a full-time gig for me, and I’m loving it! Surrounding myself with other small businesses, artists, and creatives has been a true joy of mine through this entrepreneurial journey, and I’m constantly inspired by the work happening around me.

Videos are in the pipeline (one should be coming out by Earth Day, I promise) but I wanted to invite you to join me for some Earth Month related activities if you’re based in the Bay Area, or happen to be around. This is the first year that I’m piloting volunteering events co-hosted by @christinescookie and other nonprofits in the area, and I’ll also be doing an in-person zero waste workshop later this month after not having done a public one in quite a while!

So if you’re down to volunteer with me, join a workshop, or find me at a cookie pop up, I’d love to see you. Getting out into community has been one of my goals to further my hopes for a healthier, more sustainable planet, and I encourage you to join me and some of my bakers at an upcoming event. We will provide cookies. (:

Link below for more info, and feel free to comment with any questions or thoughts. Excited to finally post here after a long long time and miss you all.

Hello friends - Christine here, long time no see (:

While I’ve been keeping busy this holiday season baking cookies with my lovely team over at @christinescookie , I’ve also been working behind the scenes with @allbirds to create a special sustainable holiday gifting event. Join me in San Francisco this Sunday, 12/18 from 12 - 4 PM at Allbirds Hayes Valley for some sustainable holiday shopping, gift wrapping, garland making, and mini cookies (made by yours truly). Come early if you can, and I hope to meet some of you this upcoming Sunday!

Can’t make it to the event but intrigued by delicious, all-organic cookies? This is the last week we’ll be shipping our cookies nationwide for the holiday season. Our cookies are baked fresh and shipped the same day, all in plastic-free packaging. We hope some of you will be able to experience the joy and cheer of our delicious cookies, and I genuinely appreciate so many of you coming out to support me at many pop ups throughout the Bay Area!

Otherwise, no videos coming out for the rest of the year. Trying my best to practice what I preach, which is focusing on slowing things down and focusing on one thing at a time. May that be a reminder for you as well this busy season (:

"Even if projects take a long time to complete, there’s something to be said about letting your creative ideas simmer. Time has a way of showing us what we actually need."

Five months in our new home - lots of creative ideas brewing in the midst of ongoing projects. A new video is finally up on YouTube revealing my design aspirations, and a project I've been anticipating the completion of. 🙂

Hello friends - hope you've been well! Finally back after an extended break with a simple video on how I organize my groceries every week to reduce waste, linked here: https://youtu.be/qPaNhB8OzZg

I've been a bit more active on Instagram since it's been more approachable with my schedule, but I wanted to gather questions for a q&a here to update you on how life's been (if you're interested, that is). A lot of changes have happened in the last two months, so glad to be back with some mental clarity (:

7 days, 7 looks - inspired by the many vogue videos I see on my feed that showcase people's styles as they navigate from outfit to outfit throughout the week. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/zekmSiBudl0

Grab a cup of tea, sit down, and eat with me - a what I eat in a day video is now up on YouTube, featuring the things I’ve been munching on and craving from sun up to sun down. https://youtu.be/94sRdk0ZuUo

From myself, Peter, Cooper and friends/dogs, hope you had a lovely break and start to your new year! I am easing back into work after a relaxing few weeks off, and am looking forward to seeing where content creation goes this season (:

The first video of the year on my channel will be a q&a, an ask me anything of sorts to get us to know each other better. I'll be compiling questions from Instagram, YouTube, as well as here, so feel free to ask whatever's on your mind! Drop the questions, video suggestions, and anything of the sort below.

Running a small business has changed me.

Christine's Cookie Co. officially turned one year old last November, and as I took time to reflect during this very busy holiday season, I realized how many changes I've gone through as a person. I wouldn't say the changes are bad, and I do feel that my foundational principles of simple living and sustainability will be the same, but my life has become all the more complicated as I learn the ins and outs of running a bakery business.

While 2015 - 2020 was a time of restructuring and recovery with my mental health, I feel as though this business is giving me a new, somewhat crazy, fun-filled life ahead. This most likely means that my content will evolve as my lifestyle does as well, as change is inevitable with every individual as we go through seasons of life. I share some of the latest cookie happenings and reflections on today's vlog, which is the last video of the year as I look forward to taking a break, and you can find the link below.

So, I'm logging off for now over here on simply by christine. Thank you all for a lovely year, and I wish you all the best as we head into the break and a new chapter. Appreciate you all coming along with me on this wild ride, and hope you still find some enjoyment in watching me bake up a cookie storm (:
