GSuite Leveled Up in 2020

Attention Google users! Did you happen to notice a logo change recently? Last month Google announced that GSuite was rebranded to Google Workspace. The main purpose of the rebranding seems to stem from Google’s intentions to expand and compete with Microsoft 365. With so many more people working remotely due to the pandemic, and children doing online school, Google has continued to improve their video conferencing and communication tools over the last few months. Google decided that it was also time for a new branding of its digital office environment. We can expect to see more changes coming!

The name change to Google Workspace is a reflection of the fact that the apps are more connected and integrated with each other. You will see the logos of Google Workspace apps have changed to reflect the same color scheme. New features will be coming available, too. In upcoming months, Google Workspace will be available to education and non-profit customers, as well.

For business customers, there is a new Business Plus subscription where you can pay for premium security and compliance tools along with all of the other new features Google Workspace provides. You will have more storage per user, and it will allow up to 100 participants in Meetings than it’s previous Business Standard subscription. Stay tuned for more exciting changes and updates!

‘Tis The Season To Stay Well!

We are in the beautiful autumn season with winter just around the corner. Leaves are falling, bonfires are burning, and there is a delightful chill in the air. The excitement of the holidays is building! There are so many things we can be thankful for (like the fact that 2020 is almost over, am I right?). Yet we also need to be mindful that we are still in the midst of a pandemic, and flu season is here. If you are like me, you are doing everything you can to stay healthy right now. Eating healthy, immunity-boosting foods is just one of those things I’m doing to stay well.

Minimizing my exposure to germs and viruses by avoiding the stores when I can is another way I’m staying healthy. I have been using food subscription boxes to have most of my food delivered right to my door. Not only are they convenient and limit my exposure to illness, but they are a lot of fun! It’s like getting a gift in the mail! You can do an unboxing and post it to your social media to encourage your friends to eat healthier or ask for recipes to try out new foods that you get in your subscription box.

My favorite subscription food box is from Imperfect Foods! I can customize the foods that I receive in my box before each shipment, which is a huge bonus for me as it allows me to do a bit of meal planning around the foods that I know I have scheduled for the next delivery. They offer add-on packs of meat and dairy, which is also a bonus. I really appreciate that I get a text reminder to go online and customize my box before that window is closed. I also get a text when my package is out for delivery. Here is a link that you can use to sign-up and get your own box: Imperfect Foods

Please note that this is my affiliate link, so I may get a discount when you sign up, but I wouldn’t recommend this company if I didn’t believe in it and its mission!
