For those of you who don't know....
The brands I curated for TGV are Canadian women owned.
Their products are manufactured in Canada when possible.

In 2015, when I first opened, I was focused on women owned brands with shared core values around cruelties, ethics and shifting beauty narratives. I had a few brands from UK, Australia, and the US.The majority of my brand offerings were Canadian.
In 2023 I decided that I wanted to hone my message of sustainability and supporting local. Knowing that this would lead to the tough decision of letting go of some cherished brands like Tabitha James Kraan, Sienna Byron Bay and Mount Lai.

Here we are in 2026 and I have
29 brands
9 of those from here in the Okanagan Valley.
To celebrate these incredible women and the brands they bring to us
I want to offer an opportunity for you to discover, experience and share (YES! SHARE THIS DISCOUNT CODE with your people!) the products and mission that come to you from their hearts through extraordinary efforts that push against prioritizing profit over people.
They challenge the business landscape without compromise of their values as humans. I am honored to be in partnership with all of these incredible women.

Your investment in me gives me the funds to invest in them so we can continue to have these brand options (and hopefully more like them) in the future!

Taking a few days to enjoy life. I'll be back at the shop Saturday June 27th.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE SIGNED UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER. I send them out every few weeks and closure dates, special events, classes, new brands, sale events, etc are communicated through them.
Since I have your attention, if you want to see me for products guidance, questions, skin goal planning... that Nikki thing. Please book an appointment or text to ensure Im there the day you plan to visit. I don't work 7 days a week anymore. ♥️

🧁🌱Bday Musings from Nikki 🌱🧁
Life handed me a great gift ... another year on this planet.
Another year to hone and shape myself.
More seasons for connection and (un)learning.
Opportunities to grow, heal and understand the value of my human experience is directly connected to my values as a human.

What a year it has been.

All the character building events and moments across the 50+ years of my life are shaping into this story... of me. A story that younger versions of me would never have predicted as the empty pages lay waiting.

I have so much wisdom and knowledge to share and I am so grateful that I have been able to create a real, physical space to share it. One that is separate from the internet. Over the 10 years, TGV has become less and less about the products as the push back against the digital foes that are filling our heads and hearts with confidence corroding filth and lies brought to us by gluttonous companies that clamor for our attention, data and money.
Our Beauty
is not business, it's not time sensitive and it isn't a problem to be fixed.

Stewarding our body and future
means looking at the barrage of (mis)information and images of beauty buried under filters, filler and AI to be critical and discerning. To see the manipulation, the fear mongering and consider the physical, emotional and spiritual health of all the future yous.

Who I am has a core that has held through storms.
I often return to my core values for accountability and critical assessment as unlearning and growth requires a critical lens.
The values I committed publicly 10 years ago are still proudly and publicly posted.

Honoring My Clients in Their Beauty Means Leading by Example & Staying Aligned With My Values

Community, Compassion, Wisdom and Liberation.

Putting health and autonomy first as I guide clients on their path to discover vitality, reshape their beauty narrative & heal their relationship with their evolving beauty.

My 50s have been my most confident, least f*cks given years. Aging was never the problem. Our cultures youth obsession is.
