Empowerment + Community through DIY Delight

Sign up for delightful activities to enjoy on your own and with others!

What We Do

Relocal empowers busy people to enjoy simple and delightful moments in daily life. We do this by providing do-it-yourself activity prompts and engaging group experiences that encourage skills development and personal growth. We especially love to partner with local enthusiasts to create opportunities for participants to connect with each other and with their communities.

As the world gets more complex and uncertain, it is more important than ever to slow down and appreciate the joy that simplicity has to offer, so we can keep moving forward with energy and hope. We believe a single special moment can make a person’s day, which in turn makes the world a better place.

After a 3 week break, I'm back! 👋 Not posting h After a 3 week break, I'm back! 👋 Not posting here for a while made me think about whether something counts as "having happened" if you didn't take a picture or post about it. 

Here are a few things that have been going on in my world. What are some incredible things happening in your life?

Happy Valentine's Day / Family Day! 💘 This week Happy Valentine's Day / Family Day! 💘 This weekend feels extra festive with Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, and Family Day (in Canada) all happening at once. 

Whether you want to celebrate with your pals, gals, or sweetie pie, appreciate the special bond you have with your blood or chosen family, or love yourself a little extra this weekend, it's a time to celebrate the meaningful connections in your life. 

For me, I'm happy to spend special time with my sweetheart @danielbrard who constantly reminds me to slow down and appreciate small things. Nearly 9 years in, I'm still enjoying how we support each other's growth!

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐂 Wishing you and your lo Happy Lunar New Year! 🐂 Wishing you and your loved ones much health, happiness, and good fortune in the year of the Ox!

I'm Chinese Canadian and when I was growing up, my family followed many traditions for the new year. We deep cleaned and cut our hair before the start of the year, decorated the house with fresh flowers and lucky greetings, and of course cooked vast amounts of food (specific items for specific days). I loved the energy of last minute shopping in #chinatownyvr. I have fond memories of staying up to wish my parents good health at midnight and snacking on treats the whole time. I remember lots of Chinese language TV specials.

I feel very grateful to have been connected to my roots while growing up. These experiences are partly why I ended up minoring in Asian Studies during undergrad, having an interest in the impact of culture on health during my Public Health Master's degree, helping people of diverse backgrounds work through transitions as a life coach, and support newcomer women in my current non-profit day job as a career coach.

Lunar New Year has a special place in my heart. And I hope you will enjoy delightful moments over the next 15 days of celebration.

Let the Ox inspire you! Do you want to draw from its strength? Do you want to practice its determination or discipline? You don't need to follow any horoscope. Be inspired in a way that fits you!

It's okay if you don't know how to do something. 👌 None of us start out as experts. Nor do you need to become one! The most important thing is that when you're faced with something new, you give it a try. You can always learn as you go!

Yesterday I was invited to participate in an Instagram follow chain. You know, kind of like chain mail circa the days of You've Got Mail with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I use Instagram but don't really know too much about its algorithms and inner workings. I wanted to support some cool businesses I know so I gave the follow chain a try. Some people I reached out to politely declined. Others also wanting to support fellow small business owners offered to participate. And the truly brave ones gave me honest feedback about how these things don't work and might hurt me. 

I ended up having wonderfully authentic conversations with my community of IG friends and it was so nice to see how we are all just trying our best as we continued with our passion projects amidst a global pandemic. 

I decided to showcase some of these cool women-led businesses in my IG stories instead. Check them out!
