My Adventures Archives - Sparkly Shoes and Sweat Drops

I recently connected with Nadya Pecherskaya through Ariana Fotinakis who I also featured on a Fearless Female Friday. I love how connected the local wellness community is and how I get to meet such interesting people. Nadya is coordinating the Health Crawl Vancouver which is happening on April 22. The Health Crawl is a one-day event that connects exceptional local health products and wellness businesses with those who are passionate about living a healthy lifestyle.

Once upon a time I was invited to be a Bluntmom which was exciting for me because I got to hang out more with one of my favourite writers, Brooke Takhar of Miss Teen USSR. She’s ventured into the big world of standup comedy and she has an upcoming show on April 21 called The Mother of All Comedy Shows at Lafflines which I am totally going to to cheer her on. I also have a chance for you to win tickets to see it for yourself. But first things first: here’s a video of her most recent comedy set and the answers to all the nosy questions I had.

I have recently been struck by how lucky I am. I am truly blessed to have work that supports our family and leaves enough for indulgences after the bills are paid. I was wishing that there was some way I could use that little extra and make those dollars go further. I started looking into companies that give back when I make purchases. These are some companies that support buying that gives back:

Recently, I was invited to attend Cavalia’s presentation of Odysseo in Vancouver. I didn’t know quite what to expect, but I was completely blown away by the experience. My boyfriend and I had the opportunity to take in the VIP experience, with an open bar and a luxurious buffet. The food was amazing and the atmosphere of the tent was warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and there was lots of comfortable seating. The whole space was engineered to either be able to dine separately with your party or to mix and mingle with other guests. My boyfriend joked his food was so fancy it had its own boutonniere.
