I’m excited to introduce a new monthly blog series where I’ll be introducing you to some Canadian small businesses that I’m loving lately! I regularly encounter so many incredible Canadian-owned and operated brands and wanted a way to round them up for you. My plan is to share one each week on Instagram stories and then share a roundup here at the end of each month. They’ll be a mix of Canadian home brands, Canadian lifestyle brands, and Canadian wellness brands! An incredible variety of Canadian small businesses that I know you’ll love too.
Here are my favourite Canadian small businesses this month!
Wyrth Home
This brand reached out to me last month to introduce themselves and I was excited when they wanted to send along a few pieces from their shop. Wyrth is a small Canadian shop that sells beautiful home decor pieces! I’ve spent some time browsing their website and they have a lot of really high quality products. Definitely a brand to watch in the home decor space!
They also sent along a discount code for you guys – “GINGERDEBHOUSE10” will get you 10% off most things on their site (excludes books and art).
Bedside Business Plan
I’m especially excited to share this small business with you because it’s owned by my brilliant and beautiful friend, Jana Boyko and her brother, Brad Boyko!
Jana is a business coach at All of Her Business and specializes in supporting women who are transitioning from the corporate world into entrepreneurship. I worked with her to support me in beginning Fleurish Counselling and she was the most incredibly supportive person to dream, plan, and learn more about business with.
The Bedside Business Plan is Jana’s beautiful heart and wisdom bundled into a guided journal that is meant to support you in conceptualizing and writing a business plan from start to finish. The thing I love the most about it, is that the prompts really inspire you to enter into entrepreneurship mindfully. Deeply considering how you want to feel as a business owner and how your personal values will be present within your future business. This would be an incredible gift for someone in your life who dreams of starting a business or a gift to yourself if you have a dream of starting one.
An added bonus is that the journal itself is this beautiful linen material and looks great on your nightstand. And they just started carrying the Bedside Business Plan at Indigo! I’m so excited for Jana and Brad and couldn’t wait to put this planner on this month’s roundup!

Salty Face
The last few years, I’ve really upped my skincare game and one of the top priorities has been sun-damage prevention. I’m never without sunscreen, even on rainy days and the days I don’t leave the house. I also wear hats whenever I’ll be spending much time outside. But as someone who loves a healthy glow, I began searching for natural-looking self-tanners.
Enter Salty Face! The beautifully-packaged, incredibly high quality self-tanner created by Vancouver-based Bethany Menzel. So far, I’ve only tried the Tanning Water face mist, but I can confirm that it’s so good. I purchased the Tanning Brush and I think it’s an innovative way to apply the mist. It’s easy to apply, has no smell, and gives me a healthy and natural looking glow! I want to try the Tanning Foam body lotion next.
withinUs
I have been wanting to try withinUs literally for years. So when I saw their electrolyte packets for sale at Costco last week, I had to pick some up. And I’m happy to report that I really like them! I’m always looking to up my hydration, but especially in the summertime when the days are hot and sweaty.
I really enjoy the flavour of these and the fact that they come as individual packets make it easy to toss in your bag. We’re going on a trip for a few days next month and I’m already planning to bring these along, as we’ll be outside and I think these will be great to have on hand.
This brand has a number of products that I’d still love to try, in particular I’d love to try their Coconut Creamers and Cacao Misto.
