    I’ve definitely went back to journaling! It’s so relaxing. I need to pick up on another hobby during this time too. Thanks for sharing this helpful list 🙂

      Glad to hear it, Jennifer! 🙂 Journaling can be so relaxing and I do think it’ll be interesting to look back on.

    I love these recommendations! Especially when you talked about DIY projects and getting creative. I’m a fashion designer and entrepreneur just starting my business. Thinking now would be the perfect time to launch an online sewing course. Do you have any tips for launching services like this during covid-19 without feeling sleazy? And for how to choose a price that’ll both support you but also be affordable for those who may have lost their jobs at this time?

    Would love to read a blog post if you have any tips about managing a business during all of this. Thank you!! 🙂

      Hey Emily! I’ve made a note of that and I’ll work on crafting more content geared for running small businesses during this time 🙂 I think as long as you explain where you’re coming from and offer it as a way to explore a new hobby and do something you love, it won’t come off in a weird way. But as for choosing a price—that’s so tough and very subjective, as you want to be mindful of your time and how much effort it takes you to produce the content, but I understand about accommodating those who are unemployed. If you figure out the answer—I’d love to hear!

My pocket travel guide for visiting Banff in the winter! ❄️🇨🇦
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you’re looking for a destination full of magic, you need to visit Banff, Canada this winter!

Winter in Banff runs from December to March:

🗓️ December is incredibly special with tons of Christmas cheer.
🗓️ January is when winter truly sets in—don’t miss the Ice Festival in Lake Louise.
🗓️ February is peak “winter” in Banff and it’s the perfect time to ski. 
🗓️ March often has the biggest snowfall of the year so you can still enjoy all of the amazing winter activities.

Here are some of the top things to do in Banff in the winter:

❄️ Embark on an unforgettable journey on the Johnston Canyon Icewalk with @banfftours. Marvel at the frozen waterfalls and feel the hushed wonder of the snow-covered scenery while taking a few snaps 📸 

❄️ Go “mushing” or Dog Sledding in the Canadian Rockies! This was straight out of owder Hound Express” tour with @snowyowlsleddogtours.

❄️ Take in the breathtaking views from high up above on the @banffgondola. And don’t forget to dine in style at the top and treat yourself to an incredible meal (with a view) at Sky Bistro.

❄️ Stay at Canada’s “Castle in the Rockies,” the @fairmontbanff—this hotel takes Winter (and luxury) to the next level.

❄️ Get to know the local scene of charming Banff town, where tons of local restaurants and cafes whip up their own signature hot chocolate. Warm up with a cup, do some shopping, and be sure to dine out at some of the cozy restaurants around town!
