Best Of 2022

Jan 05, 2023Britt Buntain

I made a brief list to reflect on some highlights of the past year. A first for me, honestly, as I usually focus on what to leave behind rather than highlight and celebrate. I really enjoyed this process!

So - without making a tik tok about it, here's a list of random bests, both personal and professional, that were my highlights of 2022. 

 

Best tech – Apple Watch 7

Best App - WikiSleep

Best podcast - Pivot, with Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher

Best album - Midnights, Taylor Swift

Best Fiction book – Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (I just found out AppleTV+ is turning this into a series produced by Brie Larson!!)

Best non-fiction- How To Do The Work, by Dr Nicole LePera

Best everyday natural skin products – Salty Face tanning water, Picot facial serum, Elate brow balm, Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation, Nezza Naturals Cinnamon Plump lip balm

Best cleansing practice – sold 70% of my well-loved furniture and re-invested in new that suits me now

Best morning routine - daily journalling with coffee while watching the sunrise

Best evening routine - Monday night book club with 5 friends

Best membership – Costco

Best recipe – my cake

Best New TV Series – Yellowjackets

Best re-run- One Tree Hill

Best Documentary – It’s a tie: The Alpinist and The Rescue

Best surprise- my neighbour became one of my dearest friends

Best personal challenge – embracing daily exercise in all different forms for the enjoyment of it rather than the results of it. Honourable mentions: boxing, commuting by bike, walking, paddle boarding, and yoga.

Best professional challenge – plans for pivoting operations in 2023

Best collaboration - Hosting the Made Here Market with ecologyst

Best investment- therapy

Best thing I did for my mental health – took breaks from work every day to take a walk (anywhere from 10 mins to 1 hr). I don't need to rush to get everything done, and allowing myself and a problem to breathe a little bit is the best thing I can do. 

Best realization - progress over perfection

Best new activity - stand up paddle boarding

Best personal achievement – 2 years alcohol-free

Best professional achievement – released the Honey Tobacco eau de parfum, which grew to be our top seller and was featured in Chatelaine Magazine

Best acceptance of the year – being at peace with the possibility of not having children

Best kitchen investment – The Aarke Carbonator

Best bedroom investment – weighted blanket from Baloo Living

Best outfit – Agolde jeans (90's pinch waist), Sol Sana Heels, white tee-shirt, gold jewelry OR the green reformation dress I wore to 2 weddings

Best adventure – San Jose, Baja Mexico with 9 fabulous women

Best coffee -  Bright Jenny

Best tea – Calm

Best mocktail – 1 tsp lemon juice, pinch of salt, bubbly water

Best detox – I stopped reading the news, self-help books/insta-therapists

Best indulgence - these cookies, and these cookies

Best creative hobby – baking, obvs. 

Best weekend hobby – Saturday Globe and Mail crossword

Best party – Grilled Cheese Night

Best bakery treat – passion fruit lemon meringue from Crust

Best thing I didn’t know I needed – tough love
