Hello! My name is Jasmin Valcourt and I'm a graphic designer turned blogger.
I have heaps of experience in both marketing and marketing design as I've spent several years working for well-known brands. I've done everything from illustration, to video editing, to gifs, to print/digital ads, and much more. It was only after I took a quieter position with smaller company, that I finally realized I had time and experience to do what I've always wanted: start a successful blog.
On my blog, Zest and Glee, I write about how to create a life worth living for millennial women. By focusing on your personal growth and figuring out who you are as a person, you could essentially design your life. I'm hoping Zest and Glee will eventually become a brand that ages with me and remains relevant to this demographic of women.
Right now, as my blog is still relatively new, I'm looking for some guest posting opportunities or influencer collaborations. If a brand would like to work with me, that would be awesome, but it would have to be in line with my blogs mission.
As I mentioned above, I have a wide range of skills! You can view my portfolio on my personal site here: www.jasminvalcourt.com.
Be sure to finish your current roll of plastic wrap and zip lock bags before buying new. Finish any product you’re currently using before purchasing a reusable option. Although these are usually made of plastic, making sure you’re getting a couple of uses out of them, is always the more sustainable and intentional option! If not, consider: As people pursuing growth, taking the time to think about what items we bring into our home and brands we support is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and the world around us.
Through emotionally manipulative advertising, entertainment, social media, television, the news, magazines, technology and much more, we are encouraged to buy despite never needing. This mass consumption and greed has led to stripping the Earth of necessary resources, astronomical pollution, massive wealth inequality, the exploitation of workers both domestically and in other countries, the reduction of public services, and so on. As consumerist culture is so engraved in our every day lives, an intentional life can not exist without understanding how it manifests in both life and society. You know when someone brings in donuts when you’re trying to cut down on sugar and after resisting for most of the day, you eventually cave and basically inhale one of those delectable little devils?
Positive journaling is a method that allows you to focus on the moments of your life and dreams that bring you joy, you are proud of, or that you accomplished. In many ways, positive journaling is similar to manifestation journaling, bullet journaling, or even a dream journal. By writing down every little positive moment in your life and what you want your life to be, you soon will find that there are more possibilities than you previously thought. It won’t be long until you’re able to be that person again and your positive journal is physical proof of that.
When planning you’re next trip, be sure to include at least one free day on either side of your actual vacation time. This way, you can make sure to complete your pre-vacation and post-vacation task list in a reasonable amount of time. Instead of focusing on enjoying yourself, you focus on the highlight reel of Instagram and the responsibilities you’re taking a break from. When you finally do have a few days to enjoy a proper holiday, you can’t help but feel strange.
