CHIKA CHAKA CHATTER: HOLIDAY EDITION NEWSLETTER - Vol. 1, Issue 3
Weekly
Update 12/14/24 – 12/20/24
Looking
Back, Moving Forward – from Mel
Hope you’ve caught this week’s vlog or podcast. If not, be
sure to check it out. We had a blast talking about inspiring holiday ideas and
memories. This magical time of year was so important to my family as I was
growing up. Not only was it a time to take stock in what was special to us
(relationships, health, spiritual wellness....), but a time to express gratitude
and acknowledgement of the reason for the season. Respecting other faiths is
paramount, but Christmas is about Christianity, and I find no offense in wishing
someone “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays”. The sentiment is the
same – may you enjoy celebrating your faith, family, and friends in the way
that best serves you. From our house to yours, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah
and Kwanzaa (December 26).
Enjoy this special holiday edition including a little about
what we’ve been up to this week and more fun holiday ideas.

Project Updates
We continue having a wonderful time making vlogs and podcasts. 🎧We’re still getting into our rhythm so while they’re not the polished level we’d like to have, we’re getting there. New blog posts about toys, kids, nostalgia and other funky stuff premier on Mondays. Vlogs are released on YouTube on Tuesdays; and Podcasts are released on Wednesdays on your favorite podcast platform such as Spotify or Apple. M&M Funky Five Jive is a 15 min.-or-less podcast bringing you fun and nostalgia as we discuss our take on toys, kids and other funky stuff. We would love for your support and helpful feedback. 😀
We’re new fans of Capcut! 🥳
This platform is awesome for making your social media dreams come true! Mike
and I have been using it for some of our latest video posts. Not a lot of feedback
data to determine if this is something we want to invest in long-term yet.
We’ll keep using it and see what happens in the coming weeks. Let us know if you have any fun Capcut tips and tricks!
Our week continued with the ❄
Chika Chaka Chums winter wonderland holiday photo session. ❄
☃ The countdown to Christmas has pushed us to get
creative with these little dolls.
Our passion for getting people moving and
our own love of mindfulness, yoga, and healthy habits inspired the
resurgence of LēLa, our lifestyle brand that has been sitting on the
shelf for almost ten years. Our mission is to help you achieve higher energy without
disrupting your daily routine. Balance and well-being are within reach. Timing
is everything so watch for more relaxation, meditation, and positive
affirmation videos from us as we build it into the M&M Funky Stuff family.
If you have an affinity for all things “namaste,” please give us a try. ☮

“Accepting
others, even if their beliefs differ from yours, brings inner peace and
harmony, replacing anger and resentment. Keep in mind, someone might be working
to accept you as YOU are, so don’t rush to see them as the problem."
