The Moment That Changed Everything

There are moments that don’t feel real when they happen.

The kind that make you reread an email over and over, just to be sure your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you.

Being named a 2026 Canadian Choice Award Winner was one of those moments.

I didn't cry.

I just sat there… quiet, overwhelmed… thinking about how far this brand has come… and how close I was, so many times, to walking away.

 

This Was Never “Just a Business”

Kiss & Tell wasn’t built during a perfect season of my life. It was built during a season where nothing felt certain.

There were days I questioned myself. Nights I wondered if any of this would matter. Moments where I felt invisible, exhausted, and unsure… but kept going anyway.

This award doesn’t celebrate perfection. It celebrates showing up, even when it would’ve been easier not to.

 

From Something Small… to Something Seen

Kiss & Tell started quietly.

Handmade. Personal. Intimate.

Every product was made with intention. Every launch carried hope. Every order felt like someone saying, ”I see you.”

To now see this brand recognized on a national level is something I never allowed myself to fully dream about… because dreaming felt risky when you’re building something from scratch.

And yet… here we are.

This Isn’t My Win, It’s Ours

If you’ve ever placed an order, shared a post, sent a kind message, hyped me up, or believed in this brand before it had proof… this award belongs to you too.

You turned late nights into momentum.

You turned doubt into motivation.

You helped carry this brand when I needed it most.

That kind of support changes people.

It changed me.

 

What This Award Will Always Mean to Me

This award will never just be a title or a badge.

It will always represent:

  • Taking chances when fear was louder than confidence
  • Building something honest instead of something easy
  • Choosing belief, even when the outcome wasn’t guaranteed

It’s proof that something created with heart can find it’s way… even when the path isn’t clear.

From the Bottom of My Heart

Thank you for choosing Kiss & Tell.

Thank you for trusting something small.

Thank you for being part of a story that means more to me than words can explain.

This moment will stay with me forever.

 

With so much love and gratitude,

Jayden

Founder, Kiss & Tell
