Hello! And thanks Christin! I'm Jeanine Kitchel and I write about Mexico, the Maya and the Yucatán--from expat stories to travel, culture, history, art, news.
For this month next week I'll post a chapter of my serialization of my memoir on buying land, building a house and opening a bookstore in a southern Mexico village, Puerto Morelos, and the challenges. Then a post of an article I wrote about the Amazon River Basin, and traveling by 90-foot riverboat on the Rio Negro and the Amazon. Lastly I'll publish another chapter of my memoir, now on Chap 25, about setting up the bookstore in MX after the horror of clearing customs w/ 15,000 books and missing paperwork. And lastly, write on The Caste War of Yucatan--something that very few of my readers were aware of, but wanted more of. It's a fascinating piece of Yucatán history, little documented: Title for Amazon story: Up the Rio Negro and Down to the Amazon.

Hello all! I am a seasonal living aficionado. My first post of the month is always a guide to the month. I believe getting things on the calendar and having things to look forward to is the key to happiness. The other Tuesdays are seasonalish posts or essays, and on Fridays, I recap my seasonal life and make fluffy recommendations for the weekend. It's a place to relax and find joy.
Yes I think it is so important to make space for joy an happiness in everyday living. It's a bit like the Relaxation Response.. It has to be induced. xx
I love these seasonal shares … and I agree with your key to happiness. There’s just something about intentionally planning how you want to spend your time that changes the game. 🫶
Happy December! It is such an exciting, merry month! I write health and wellness content at Grow Healthier + Happier. I just wrote my November Glow Up issue. I write weekly, but started a 'monthly' issue in October where I recap a few things and just chat about things I learned/did in that month. I try to make it a glowy mash-up of helpful and interesting info. It also gives me a change to share things I wrote in November. I also added a mini-gift guide with self-care gifts at affordable prices. You can read here:
I don't know how I found the Content Brief? Probably looking for guidance for my jumbled brain on Substack. Anyway, I hopped over to Grow Healthier and I love your newsletter. I despise Gift Guides and yours was so authentic and exactly what I was looking for. I actually am buying 3 things on yours for a friend's birthday. She's a buy flight attendant and I think some of the self-care items are perfection. Thank you!
I am so happy you like the gift guide. Honestly, I usually don't find much in gift guides OR everything is too expensive to even think about buying. That is why I created this one - glad you found some things! And so perfect for a flight attendant! Cheers to a fabulous December!
So fun! I like writing the monthly roundups … gives you a place to put things you want to share that aren’t full posts too. And always love a gift guide! ⚡️
Hi all, I'm Jana, and I write the publication Coffee Break Nextsletter—a weekly invitation to pause, ponder, and see things a little differently because sometimes the right book can shift your entire perspective. I also feature interviews with fellow Substack writers about their creative and planning process and the books they’d recommend.
Love this.. Hey everyone, my name is liz, I love to write about all things well-being and the importance of being you at Time -Out Wellbeing. I am very excited for December as I am going to be sharing one of my favourite Aromatherapy Blends.. It's called Aromatic Christmas Mist. (I don't sell it, I just like to share it) Anyways if you could bottle the smell of Christmas then this is it! It is quite magical in that as well as smelling divine it also has lots of stress care properties from the oils themselves. I like to think of it as a Christmas Calm spray and that is why amongst all the chaos, it is so lovely to use it as and when required. The post will come with recipe and safety info. My most recent post is about finding a little bit of chill in a Mindful Menopause Wordsearch, which is a free download. https://mindfulcolouringcreations.substack.com/p/mindful-menopause-word-search
Hello! And thanks for this great question. Im Magdalena Ponurska (https://www.magdalenaponurska.com/) and I write about courage to create , write and grow newsletters. This month I’m bringing into my community the framework of strength based writing. There are 24 strengths that we all possess and I figured it’s perfect month to tap into our strengths and focus on what’s strong (rather than what’s wrong) to get through the holiday season with joy and excitement.
Hi everyone! Over at https://nutrition4performance.substack.com/, I'm using notes to post a winter wellness advent calendar. A wellness tip a day for 24 days. I got knocked off schedule during November with family issues, so I feel like I'm playing catch up right now.
Hi everyone! I'm Sarah, Belgian pastry chef in the UK. I write about Belgian baking and traditions. My latest post is this one https://sarahfrison.substack.com/p/its-almost-st-nicholas-day where I talk a bit about St Nicholas day, share an excerpt from my book, a shopping list for making your own hollow chocolate figures and a recipe too. I'm doing a few more book promo things in the next few weeks so that's still coming up 🙂.

I plan to publish two more interviews and a wound-up post at the end of the year. And then to fully enjoy Christmas 😊
Yes, love that end-of-year "break" feeling! Then the fresh start of the new year. ⚡️

What a great idea! Excited to follow along with it, Julie! ⚡️
Good idea to have a wellness calendar -- a reminder, especially during the holidays-- to pay attention to our bodies.
