Hello, Iām Annie,Ā fiction author, pop culture buff, intuitive healer, and the founder of this Canadian conscious lifestyle site.
Terumah.ca was created for smart women looking for fun insights on style, beauty, travel, art, and creative living. I’ve recently added more posts on self-care and spirituality due to positive reader feedback.
Terumah means ācontributionā or āgiftā in Hebrew, and itās also the name of my Torah portion (Iām a longtimeĀ Kabbalah student). I have a million different interests, and this is the place where I get to share them all with you.
Style: Iām a supporter of slow fashionāquality over quantity. Iād rather invest in chic, timeless pieces that withstand seasonal trends. Fashion labels that are ethically made (no sweat shops) and sustainable (environmentally friendly) are the ones Iād recommend above all others.Ā Lately, I’ve been really into vintage and secondhand fashion. Begin your sustainable style journey with these master lists of ethical brands.
Beauty: Iāve been trading in my makeup and beauty products for non-toxic versions. Going green doesnāt mean sacrificing in performance and luxury. I also write about increasing inner beauty and self-confidence.
Travel: Iāve lived in Asia, North America, and Europe. Iām a curious traveler, so youāll find plenty of useful travel tips and guides in this section. I’m doing my best to travel in more sustainable and eco-friendly ways.
Art & Entertainment: Film, literature, music, architecture, illustrations, design, etc. etc. etc.āif it catches my eye, youāll hear about it. Join myĀ Goodreads book clubĀ for fiction recommendations.
Lifestyle: Sustainable living, home decor, gift ideas, DIY, health, wellnessāanything that I think will improve your life will be found here. For resources on spirituality and healing, see my posts here.
TheĀ ShopĀ section features my picks for ethical fashion, green beauty, home decor items, and nonfiction books. Also visit my Society6 shopĀ for prints of my best travel photos.
