AHKE

The first thing we are going to do before this is even a thing is to help a lady that provides food at street level to homeless, addicted and those in need with food. The problem is, when winter comes she will have no coverage to stand under - we get a lot of rain here. I am looking to find her a decent sized tent or awning that can be set up easily and she can take with her. She needs this to continue through the winter or she may have to stop what she does leaving those who already depend on her to do without. If you can help or have one to donate, please let me know. Thank you.

Back in February I had paid 23 dollars for 3 roses and they turned out to have zero smell and color changed to an odd grey color, it ended up ruining my Valentines soap and products I wanted to make.
This is fresh English Rose petals and fresh Lavender right from my front yard ! These have beautiful color and the scent of each is a-mazing ! Lavender is ready to use but I am just setting out the petals to dry. Im thinking body oils and perfumes.

I invite everyone to take a look at these works of art. These are hand crafted by Austin Southworth here in BC. His work is absolutely stunning. His pieces start roughly around $200 and worth every dollar. I have seen a few pieces he has made and absolutely love them. I honestly cant say I love one more than the other cuz the next one becomes the favorite.

AHKE is officially a listed business in Victoria, BC !
Not sure what y'all are up to this weekend but I will be knee deep in oils and stocking my shelf with products.
Have a great weekend :D

AHKE is going to be showcased in yet another book of entrepreneurs in the Vancouver area. Very exciting !

Business licence will be in my hot little hands in the next couple days. Its go time !!

I had the opportunity to share my story and my business start up story for my entrepreneur peer group Thursday night. This is always a great time to discuss our futures, navigate issues we may be having when it comes to starting a business and growing pains and just to unite and have some time with like minded people. Its always fun ! Thanks again Employ to Empower for the opportunity.

PHOTO : My favorite photo, first store placement back in 2021 and the s**tty stickers I bought downtown St. Thomas and the beautiful ones I buy now. These are things we discuss at peer meetings ;)

Being invited as a guest presenter was a meaningful opportunity to share my journey with a new group of future entrepreneurs. I spoke honestly about my experiences—the challenges, the lessons learned, and the moments that shaped my path. My goal was to show that entrepreneurship isn’t just about success, but about resilience, adaptability, and staying true to your vision. Connecting with such a motivated group and hopefully inspiring them to take confident steps toward their own goals was incredibly rewarding.
Employ to Empower Thank you 😘👊💫
