A spec email campaign for Yoga Bar
Super Muesli, written and designed
end to end — story, copy and visual system.
THE CONCEPT
The story follows a hostel student
who keeps skipping breakfast — told
through a friend who notices, and
a mother's voice she'd forgotten.
Every visual in this campaign is
written directly onto a yoga mat —
not as decoration, but as the metaphor
holding the whole idea together.
A yoga mat is something you unroll
every time you choose to show up
for yourself. That's exactly what
skipping breakfast is the opposite of.
So instead of a typical food photography
backdrop, the mat became the page the
story is written on — making the brand's
core value, "showing up for yourself,"
literal before a single word of copy
even appears.
THE WORK
Full narrative-driven email — subject
line, story arc, product integration
and CTA — built to make breakfast feel
less like a nutrition reminder and more
like a moment of self-respect.
Format: Email Campaign
Brand: Yoga Bar
Type: Spec Work — Independent
Beautiful.

Miles Away, Problem Solved.
It was a Tuesday morning in Lagos. I had just settled into my workspace with my laptop open and a cup of tea, ready to start the day.
My client, a busy entrepreneur based in Austin, Texas, sent a voice note at 7am her time which was already 1pm in Nigeria.
"Hey Deborah, I completely forgot I'm travelling to New York next week for a conference and I have no one to watch Rooney. Can you find me a good dog daycare somewhere close to downtown Austin? He's a Golden Retriever, a bit anxious around strangers, so I need somewhere that actually pays attention to the dogs, not just dumps them in a room. Budget is around $40 a day. Thanks!"
I opened a new tab using the zip code sent to me, and got to work.
I searched for licensed dog daycares in downtown Austin, cross-referencing Google reviews, Yelp ratings, and a pet care platform called Rover. I filtered by price, proximity, and specialization looking specifically for facilities that mentioned anxiety-friendly environments or small group setting then narrowed it down to three options, checked their websites, confirmed their daily rates, noted their drop-off and pick-up times, and even looked up whether they required vaccination records because I knew my client would ask.
Within 45 minutes, I sent a neatly organized summary:
"Hi! Here are 3 dog daycare options near downtown Austin for Rooney. I've included the daily rate, hours, what past reviewers said about anxious dogs, and the vaccination documents they'll need. Option 2 stood out small groups, vet-supervised, and several reviewers specifically mentioned it's great for nervous dogs. Happy to call ahead and make the booking if you'd like!"
My client replied two minutes later.
"This is exactly what I needed. Book Option 2 please."
I booked it, sent the confirmation details, and added a reminder to my client's calendar for drop-off day.
By the time Austin was having lunch, the problem was completely solved.
The moral of the story?
A great Virtual Assistant doesn't need to be in the same country or even the same time zone to get things done. All they need is resourcefulness, attention to detail, and the drive to treat every task like it matters.
Because it does
