Coasting With Flair...

That's right everyone, its New Years Eve and you're probably wondering what we're cooking up our sleeves right? Wondering how we will be spending our night? Well then, let me disclose how we will be bringing the luxuries of the heart to life...

I shared with you a couple reflective thoughts that were running through my mind yesterday about the New Year and so on… As you know I tend to get “poetic" and philosophical when I speak of exciting things such as life! Discussing business ventures and sharing my general outlook on life to empower others is so holistic to me! It's a portion that I get across into each of my endeavours that way you get a better sense of my approach and most importantly the kind of person I am! [I think it's important]... but anyhow, not to go astray from today’s blogging edition lol ;)

As I was saying, you guys are probably wondering what WEP is cooking up for New Year's Eve??? Fortunately for us, we're coasting with flair... meaning, tonight we're going to relax and mingle in style! Starfish Creative Events + Inspiration have generously invited us to attend and grace the Red Carpet in good old Hollywood fashion...

This team is such a big inspiration when it comes down to event management and design here in Ottawa and I have no shame in saying so openly! I admire their work!! I know some of you are probably frowning like, isn't this your competition?? I say no, why look at others as a "threat" if they can 1) inspire you 2) help you get better??? Seriously, talking and exchanging thoughts with other experts in this industry is not only a great exercise but always stimulating and encouraging!

To sum it up, I am totally looking forward to ring in the New Year with splash! The event will be taking place inside the Crowne Plaza Hotel [downtown Ottawa if you're unfamiliar] in two stunning penthouse rooms! So many goodies and surprises await but why spoil the beans if you can just read about it yourselves? If you're still wondering what to do tonight I suggest you get to your keyboard and get your tickets fast…

Till then, the countdown begins may you all be extraordinary and beyond verbal measures!!!Happy New Years everyone!

Totally Reflecting on...

How good it's been? How fun this year has been? How challenging it's been....?
And what did that make you....Better? More reflective? More positive? More grateful? Less doubtful? Maybe fearful…

I can truly say 2009 has left me more PASSIONATE and more DETERMINED! 2010 is not "MY YEAR" it's just another moment, another given opportunity for you and I to breakthrough!!!! This said, may you all go where your hearts aspire! Walk by faith and with the conviction you will rise above NO MATTER the obstacles...

Prepare yourselves and align yourselves towards your goals [there is no better formula]; don't just talk about them but position yourselves in order to experience them!

"What you sow to, will speak to you" - Empower yourself...!!!!

Daily Convoitise: Embellishment...

If you're in need of some “holiday” inspiration for either a celebration with your close entourage or an ideal "dinner date" with the entire family; Here's another one of Preston Bailey's creations we can savour and contemplate and of course try our best to reproduce! It's all in the details...

"On the set" Lights, Camera... Chic!

This weekend I took it easy considering everything is pretty much in motion business wise. Saturday I was on the set of "Classic, Chic & Soulful" which is the personal shoot I had with the very talented, Tina Picard.

Tina is a beautiful local photographer in the Ottawa, Hull region. It was truly a pleasure to shoot with her; she was very welcoming and down to earth! I love working with people who are free-spirited, passionate and vivid about what they do![Her work totally speaks for itself]...

I've had wonderful fashion shoots in the past and always felt the need to diversify, which is why this time around I wanted something a bit more different. Still fashion but a bit more subtle and corporate, considering these are mainly promo shots I plan on using for a campaign WEP is set to launch some time in the New Year!

I have to admit though, I wish someone had taken the time to remind me how long the whole hair and makeup process is... 2 ½ hrs hmmm... nothing right? What can you really say, when all you have to do is sit there and enjoy? Yeah, I love being pampered! Lol... It's so unusual for me to sit still for more than 5 minutes therefore when given the opportunity to take pleasure in somebody else’s art, I have no complaints :) - Besides my MUA Tricia Minga did a good job and had me looking pretty hence a little glimpse of the pic you see :) [Did I mention we were working away the details of her launch?? She’s a talented singer, model & make-up artist! Look out for this talented gem! Believe me]...

I really can't wait to see the entirety of the shoot! I would love to give you a sneak peak but I myself wasn’t given any…

Spicy + Savvy Holiday Party

Last Thursday I was invited to a festive holiday party that was hosted by Bronwyn Hammell, from Cinammon Toast New Media Inc and her wonderful partner Carrie Irvine from Blackbird Communications. Add these two fabulous ladies to your mix and together they’ve joined forces to create “Spicy & Savvy”… (If you recall, Cinammon Toast New Media Inc are the ones responsible for the layout of my beautiful website and all my branding related needs)

This was a fabulous cocktail, I have no complaints! It was cold outside but the atmosphere definitely warmed up my spirit! The “spice” was in full effect! It was a great place to network, sip, shop and mingle with fellow “savvy” mates in business! The signature drink, the punch, the wine and the appetizers were top of the line [If you know me, you know I like “a good drink” with “a good kick” if you know what I mean :)]! Let us not forget, the live entertainment… yes there was a live band [Ahh, let’s not get me started the singer was so refreshing]! The cocktail was held at the HUSH clothing store, the ladies there were so welcoming and graceful

All in all, everything was well organized not to mention a kind gesture to honour each of their clients and let them know how much they appreciated them and their business.

I felt honoured to be invited and totally felt like a valued client!

Thank you :)

Gearing Up...

Whew, that's really all I can say!
So many exciting things have come to pass in the previous weeks, makes me feel like I owe you guys a TELL ALL book lol! But seriously, I hope all of you are doing well! We're approaching "the close" of the year and I am pretty sure you guys understand me when I say "trying to stay up to speed" :)! I'm personally taking every second of these last few days to pause and reflect on how "climatic" this year has been! I feel blessed, favoured and privileged to still be standing and to still be able to press forward. I gave birth to new ventures this year and I plan on giving birth to more in the New Year... It's a lot of work, a lot of challenges but when you LOVE WHAT YOU DO you see NO LIMITS! It's all part of my purpose; I'm persuaded come what may...

With this said, I hope you guys are also feeling the same or at least working your way up towards something you feel strongly and passionately about...
