Just Greet Greeting Cards are My Favourite Way to Say Hello!

April 11, 2016 by Nick Joly 3 Comments

inspired by nick just greet greeting cards

Hey Friends!

Long time no blog! How goes it?! It’s been quite a busy time for me (as many of you know) as I gear up for my big day, which is sooooooon approaching! Coupled with that, my office recently relocated to an amazing top two floors of a funky-cool building in Toronto’s Financial District! I can’t wait to share some pics with you of the wicked cool space!

Recently I received some of the BEST greeting cards I’ve ever seen in my life, from Just Greet! They’re an awesome Vancouver-based greeting card company who specialize in making people smile! Well, that’s how I see it anyway. When I received the card above with a personalized message, it reminded me of the “good old days” (yes, I went there) where we used to write each other thoughtful messages and send them via post! Crazy concept nowadays, huh?!

I do have to say, that receiving the card from Just Greet was definitely the peach of my day that day!

And I thought, why not send more cards?! Especially if you’ve got a close friend or loved one that you haven’t chatted with in a while. What better way than to reconnect by sending a handwritten note?! It shows that you put ACTUAL EFFORT into reconnecting with them rather than just shooting over a text or email!

I couldn’t help myself. The cards were TOO CUTE not to photograph! Right?! So I snapped a few pics, threw them up on the blog, and off I went to write five beautiful messages to the people I loved most! And that aqua colored card with the text that reads “gratitude” might have been my favorite because I received it at a time when I was learning about Shawn Achor’s Happiness Challenge (if you haven’t read up on it yet, I highly recommend).

Shawn shares that one of his secrets to happiness is writing down one thing that you are grateful for, each and every day… and I couldn’t agree more. Writing it down on paper is the literal version of getting something out of your system, and when you see it, you visualize it and you retain it. Moments later, this psychological reaction goes off in your brain that you aren’t even aware of, and low and behold, you feel happy!

Crazy to think how much receiving a greeting card can affect your mood!

What are some of the things you’re grateful for? I know that for the first few days of the challenge, I jotted things down like “being surrounded by people who care about me” and “being able to call my mom from time to time to chat about things” to even “having a great workplace environment”.

I’m also grateful for all of YOU! The people who pop into Inspired by Nick while you browse the web for inspiration! You guys make up my community of readers, and what’s more, my cyber friends!

Be sure to check out Just Greet on Facebook and Instagram for all of their cute and quirky greeting card designs! Take a pic of your card and they just might #Regram it 🙂

Happy Monday everyone!

    Hi Nick! We carry JustGreet greeting cards in our small bookstore. I’ve been trying to get in touch with them but website & emails don’t go through. Do you happen to know if they changed their name or how to get in touch with them? We just love their cards. Thanks!

      Hi Becky,

      Great question – I just checked their instagram account and saw that “user could not be found”. I’m not sure what happened to them unfortunately! Wish I could be more help!

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.
—
I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
