How to Make Money While You’re in Between Jobs |
“This is a magical transitional period in your life, one many folks say makes all the difference in living fulfilled lives. If you’re in between jobs right now, this is the perfect time to experiment with those ideas that have been brewing in the back of your mind while you’ve been working for someone else.
Looking for a job doesn’t mean you have to sit around and wait for the perfect gig to show up to make some cash. You can start making money right now by tapping into your skills and turning them into a side hustle. Here’s how you do it:
🧰 Take an honest look at your skills: What are you amazing at? What’s that thing people are always asking you to help with? That’s your first clue. Maybe you’re great at organizing, or you’re a whiz at social media, or you’ve got a talent for photography. Whatever it is, that’s where your side hustle starts.
💡 Choose something simple: Don’t overthink this. You don’t need a massive business plan or fancy branding to get started. You just need something that solves a problem or offers value to people. For example, if you’re great at editing, start offering freelance editing services. If you’re good at tutoring, help students with their coursework. Keep it simple and get started. Here are some more side hustle ideas you can do this winter!
🌊 Test the waters: Offer your services to people in your network—friends, family, colleagues. Get a few clients in the door and see how it goes. This is your chance to experiment without putting all your eggs in one basket. See what works, adjust, and grow from there.
💸 Charge based on value: I’m going to repeat this until you get it—do not undercharge. 👏 Your time, skills, and expertise are valuable, so price them accordingly. Whatever number you are thinking of? Double it. Seriously. People will pay for value.
Here’s the beauty of side hustles—they give you the chance to earn money while figuring out your next move. You don’t have to wait around for the perfect job to land in your lap. You can start making money now on your own terms. And who knows? That side hustle could turn into your main gig someday. So don’t wait. Get creative, take action, and start making that money while you search for your next big move.”

Koolaburra by UGG Suede Platform Ultra Mini Boots, QVC, $94.99 $84.99 |
| The Budget-Friendly Ultra Mini UGGs |
“If Grade 7 Victoria could see me now, thirsting over a pair of UGG boots nearly 15 years later, she would be befumbled. ‘These are still in?’ Back then, it was all about the mid-calf length (*insert middle school fashion flashbacks*), but the Pinterest girlies today are frothing at the mouth over the Ultra Mini style (same). More specifically: these suede platform steppers from UGG’s more wallet-conscious sister brand, Koolaburra. With details like a cozy faux-fur lining, asymmetrical top, and height-boosting platform sole, these boots are perfect for throwing on to run errands, hit up your Pilates class, or walk around a Christmas market with a hot toddy in hand. First-time QVC shoppers get an extra $20 off their first $40 order with code HOLIDAY20.*” — Victoria, executive editor

Airplane Mode by Liz Plank, Substack, $5 monthly |
|
The Newsletter That Soothes the Pit in My Stomach |
“If you aren’t following journalist, activist, and all-round feminist badass Liz Plank everywhere you possibly can (@feministabulous on Instagram and @lizplank on TikTok), you are missing out. I’ve been finding it increasingly difficult to consume the constant onslaught of political news recently, and Plank’s Substack newsletter Airplane Mode has become my go-to for digesting it all. Her sharp and astute observations about the current political climate are a much-needed salve in a world that feels dead set on stripping women of their rights. A recent newsletter installment offered concrete, practical advice on how to channel your female rage into sustained action, and I couldn’t have been more grateful to see it in my inbox.” — Lara, contributor

“I’ve tried a lot of mascaras, but Cheekbone Beauty’s new black mascara has completely won me over. The clean, vegan formula glides on like a literal dream—no clumps, no smudges—and is full of nourishing ingredients like argan oil to keep lashes healthy and strong. It even has natural waxes and pumice stone for crazy volume and definition. Cheekbone Beauty is an Indigenous-owned brand dedicated to clean, sustainable products that celebrate resilience and representation. Inspired by her grandmother’s strength, founder Jenn Harper is creating a space in the beauty industry where everyone, including Indigenous people, feels represented and seen. Knowing that every swipe of my mascara supports that mission? Priceless.” — Kamela, content marketing manager
