It’s Never Too Late
Christmas Gift Ideas For Him, Her & Them
It’s currently December 10th as I’m writing this, biting my nails and thinking about the right Christmas gift ideas to not ruin it for the people I love the most. Visa card on one side, bank statement on the other; I didn’t know that this extensive research would turn into this useful piece of information I’m about to provide but hey I got a job to do.

For all the late shoppers out there, there’s still hope. By scattering the web for Christmas gift ideas, I came up with a solution for any kind of gifts you can think of. Something you can experiment, something you can wear and some tools or gadget to make life a little easier.
Here are 5 Christmas gift ideas that’ll make you wrap up your boxes with an evil laugh (and add up to your cool points at the same time).
#1 Something You Can Wear

Browns has HUGE holiday deals on sneakers right now. I was able to buy some Puma Thunder Deserts, the Puma Creepers, some Adidas Samba Ogs and some I won’t mention because there are only a few pairs left. All my purchases were online for up to 70% off. You have a ton of choices, colors, designers for a more than a fair price.
Best believe, when you’re late for your Christmas gifts shopping the first thing you have to think about is OPTIONS; in this case find the shoe that fits!
Price: 60$ to 300$+
#2 Something To Take Care Of Yourself
Cc: Wise
Men’s grooming products are always a good choice for Christmas gifts ideas to put under the tree especially if they have a hint of luxury to it. Wise brings together eco-friendly products, made in Montreal, and with a focus on incredible scents and natural ingredients.
Actually, they’ve just released their skin care products and they also have product kits that includes a comb, pomades and everything a man’s need for his next man-bun.
Price: 95$ to 165$
#3 Something To Make You Think
Cc: ,Mark Manson
Still a bestseller and a life-changer , The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F**ck is a masterpiece for everybody who needs a good dose of self-improvement in their life. Mark Manson’s approach is self-explanatory by the book title but yet it teaches you how to prioritize what you should actually care about.
Funny, clever and some real in depth life stories to inspire you in the process. I’ve bought the book’s paperback version, read it through and through and bought the audiobook for whenever I was on the go.
It gives you a broader perspective about life and its the best way to let someone you love start the new year right.
Price: 9,99$ on Kindle, 24,15$ Hardcover
#4 Something To Make Your Life Easier
Cc: Google
Whenever I get stuck wandering about Christmas gifts ideas, I get back to the only thing reliable, of value and timeless : gadgets. When you buy a gadget for someone you have to think strategically or fear to miss the target.
Does it solve a problem? Can it survive the clumsiness of the person you try to give it to? If you said yes to everything earlier I would like to remind you why Google actually has an answer for everything in this world.
Indeed, they’re entire range of gadgets can fill a void in someone’s life. From the Pixel 3 Xl which is an incredible phone in terms of camera that competes with even professional devices. Then again you can go with the Pixel Slate.
A tablet that can easily replace your laptop and let your creativity free when you add the keyboard and pen. This can be a ”Go-To” for everything. Portable, affordable, multi-task and literally your entertainment or work station on the go.
***Side Note: the Google Home Max and Mini will make ”staying at home and planing things out” a MUCH better experience.
Price: 80,24$ to 1300$
#5 Something To Experiment
Cc: Centre Helight
Relaxation and self care are a must and while people might think about going to the spa or on a shopping therapy there are different ways to disconnect. Centre Helight offers an unconventional way to relax which is a new kind of experience in itself: light therapy.
a 15 to 30 minutes process where you let your body exposed to their therapeutic light which relaxes your muscles and unlocks your energy sort of like a mini workout. You leave the room rested, relax and most of all ready to tackle your day to day tasks.
Price: starting at 15$ for the first 15 minutes
Location: 445 President Kennedy Avenue, Montreal

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view
Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.
