Top 5 Ways to Enjoy Valentine's Day in Edmonton

Want to try something romantical?


Check out what these places have going on:

D'lish Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar has A D'lishous Lovespell Menu featuring five tantalizing courses for only $65/pp and includes a bottle of Spanish Cristalino Cava. Add three wine pairings for $20/pp.



The Melting Pot has a week-long celebration of the most gooiest holiday of the year so what BETTER way to indulge than with fondue? Check out the various packages they have here.



The Vow. OK so it would take a special kinda guy to go see this chick flick but maybe, just MAYBE, you go with your girls and get your Channing Tatum ON! Dayum, think of the hot fantasies you'll have when you go home to him. Single? Perfect excuse to get out of the house and enjoy the luscious playground that is Channing's body. Now playing at a theatre near you.

Laser Quest: Get a group of friends, couples, girls/whatever and go out and have some fun! VD doesn't have to be seriously mushy; it can  be celebrated with the people you love. Go. Shoot them then head for drinks and food later.

A night in. Edmonton's best chocolate can be found at Kerstin's Chocolate just off of Jasper Ave. Indulge in some of the most decadent chocolate you will find, pair it with some great wine, throw on the Titanic and lose yourself in the moment. Might I personally recommend the Hot Chocolate. De. Frickin'. LISIOUS! 

What are you doing for Valentine's Day?


Tweetstock 007...Are you going?


I'm not usually a big fan of blogging conferences or social media conferences but THIS! Tweetstock 007... THIS I am excited about!

April 12 at the Galaxy Cinemas in Brantford, ON.

It features some of Twitters most recognizable and engaging experts (except me, shocking I know) and will be one you should not miss!

Chris Eh Young, Kathy Buckworth, Duri Al Ajrami, Julie Cole and MORE!

They will be sharing their expertise and dragging you outside of your wordpress templates! All for the cheapass price an affordable $79.95.

I'm planning on going. Are you?

Realize Success with AWE


If you haven't been to The Alberta Women Entrepreneurs annual conference but you need to kickstart your business into high gear, consider attending this event May 2-4, 2012 in Edmonton, AB.

Although they don't have any speakers announced yet I have no doubt they will put together something stellar. I went in 2009 when they had Ben Barry, Eveline Charles and Debby Travis, and it was highly motivational (plus I got to meet Ben who I love and adore).

This year the format seems more engaging, productive and somewhat geared towards building your own businesses.

Check it out and take advantage of the early bird pricing to be eligible to win a one night stay at the host Matrix hotel.
