Congrats. The haunted vending machine got your money again. 👻 If your paid ad strategy is "throw $50 at whatever post Karen in accounting thought was cute" - we need to talk. Real results from Meta Ads & Google Ads come from:
✅ Clear goals (not just vibes)
✅ Targeted audiences (not "18–65 interested in business")
✅ Landing pages that actually convert
✅ Tracking pixels & conversion data
✅ Testing, retargeting, and optimizing
Boosting posts isn't inherently bad. Running them with zero strategy IS. 🎯

Disability benefits in BC can feel confusing fast.

DTC. RDSP. Canada Disability Benefit. New BC disability funding. Changing programs. Applications. Denials. So many acronyms, so many questions.

This new BoostBC Spotlight blog breaks things down in a simple way and shares details about an upcoming free AutismBC webinar happening on June 16, 2026.

The webinar is designed to help autistic adults, families, caregivers, self-advocates, and professionals better understand disability benefits, funding changes, and financial supports available in BC.

One important note: the webinar will not be recorded, so attending live is the best way to get the information and ask questions.

Knowledge can make a big difference when you’re trying to access the right support.

Update: the mysterious ticking noise has officially been defeated.

The new extruder is installed, the Creality K1C is back in action, and somehow we made it through our first 3D printer repair with only mild panic, several YouTube videos, and a lot of “I guess we’re doing this now” energy.

This is small business life in real time: things break, you learn fast, you fix what you can, and then you celebrate when the printer starts printing again.

Confidence level: upgraded.
Printer status: working.
Entrepreneurship lesson: unlocked.

Dog ownership is beautiful. Until your dog p**ps 4 minutes into the walk and suddenly you’re on a 30-minute journey holding a bag you absolutely did not ask to bond with. So I made this.

It’s a hands-free dog p**p bag holder that clips right onto your leash. Tie the bag, hook it on, and keep walking like someone who still has dignity.

No more carrying the bag.
No more awkward dangling.
No more switching hands every 30 seconds like that makes it better.

It comes in multiple colours, plus a glow-in-the-dark option for night walks, early mornings, and dogs who believe bathrooms should happen in total darkness.

3D printed, lightweight, reusable, and honestly one of those things you don’t realize you need until you use it once.

Available now on Etsy:
https://bluntbtchapparel.etsy.com/listing/4519275581

Because your dog made the problem… but I made the solution.

I designed something every dog owner secretly needs! 🐾

Meet my hands-free dog p**p bag holder, because carrying a tied p**p bag around on a walk is officially cancelled.

Just clip it to your leash, tie the bag, hook it on, and keep walking until you find a garbage can. No more awkward hand-carrying. No more swinging p**p bags. No more “where do I put this?” moments.

It’s 3D printed, lightweight, reusable, and available in a glow-in-the-dark version for night walks, early mornings, and extra visibility.

Perfect for dog moms, dog dads, dog walkers, pet sitters, and anyone who walks their pup and wants life to be just a little less gross.

Designed by me and now available on Etsy:

Your future dog walks just got way better.

Meet Liam Straume. He'll weld your equipment back together in the middle of a Saskatchewan oil field, a BC winery, a gold mine in Nunavut, or your farm down the road.
Wherever the job is. He shows up.
Straume Equipment Repair isn't your average shop - because there is no shop. Liam comes to YOU. Bucket rebuilds, crack repairs, stainless patches, thumb installs, complex welding fixes - big or small, straightforward or seriously weird, he figures it out.
And "weird" is kind of his specialty. 🔩
Because equipment doesn't break the same way twice. Liam brings the kind of real-world, hard-won experience that lets him come up with solutions that go well beyond "the textbook definition of fixed."
He's worked on farms and wineries right here in the Okanagan. He's also spent years in oil fields, coal mines, diamond mines, and gold mines across Canada - from BC to Ontario to Nunavut.
The guy has seen some things. Fixed most of them.
And the story behind the name? Even better. Liam was inspired to start his own business by watching his grandfather, Peter Straume, build one with his own hands. The name is a tribute to him - and to the idea that your own hard work, done right, really does pay off.
Now Liam is building something closer to home, focused on supporting local Okanagan businesses and the people who keep them running.
If your equipment is broken, bent, cracked, or cursed - give Liam a call.
