Just in time for Valentine's! Let your man know about this!

Valentine's Day is here on Monday and we know that some men need a little nudge in the right direction! 

We heard about the Disegno's Men's Night, named Beer and Baubles! Yep, you heard that right, a night for guys to go along to Disegno Fine Jewellery on Murray Street and be helped with finding you the perfect Valentines gift... I guess you could call Disegno staff cupids for the night!

Are you thinking, how do I get him there? Well, there will be free beer, chips and pretzels, a hockey puck and free wrapping! And we all know how scary wrapping can be to our men! 

Pass on this blog to your men and remind them that they have to RSVP to pamela@disegnojewellery.ca. Remember this is men only, you just need to drop a huge hint!

So, Christmas was just a few months ago (I know it feels like it was so long ago), New Years was time to celebrate and Valentine's Day is just around the corner... maybe one of these special days ended up (or will may be end up) with you smiling down at a diamond on your finger!

 

If this is you, or if you just fancy some wedding fever, then check out the Engage event at Lago Bar and grill on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 4 p.m. - 9 p.m.

Now, we have been told that this is not just a wedding show, in fact don't even think of it as a wedding show! It is a boutique bridal event. Basically, there will be the very best businesses that Ottawa has to offer from the wedding world, but there will also be lots of nibbles, drinks and entertainment - really it's a girls night out!

The great this about this event is that profits will be donated to The Canadian Breast Cancer Network!

We're going to check it out!

Bye for now,

Sarah

Back to the blog!

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With the holiday season and getting you issue 6 of BHBB I'm afraid the blog has not been updated. But, we are back and ready to go!

Look out for the Jan. 19 issue of BHBB! We are talking about the Orleans Wellness Expo, make-up, fashion, boosting you immune system and some fabulous shopping! Also, you can win a pass to the Therien 60 Day Challenge worth $99!

We are working ahead and getting excited about the Feb. 2 issue! It's our Valentine's special! There will be lots of gifts ideas, suggestions for date outfits and a fabulous contest!

On another note: have you been on the canal yet? Yes, it is open, so grab your skates and head off for an icy day out. It is a great leg and cardio workout!

Alternatively, how about winter running? I run during the warmer months but decided it was time to brave the cold and run in the winter. Being from England and still getting used to this climate, I never thought I would say the following... Winter running feels amazing! With the right gear, it's a great workout!

Stay warm and stay safe during these cold months!

Bye for now,
