I went to the Pinecrest Chapters last night to take advantage of a “mom’s night out” event. There’s another one tonight too (November 10). Everything was 15% off and 25% for iRewards members. (Let’s just say I became a member on the spot.)
After I was done I treated myself to a decaf-skinny-halfsweet-peppermint-mocha; the most hyphenated beverage I have ever consumed. I ogled Starbucks array of mugs. I am their target market. I love their stuff. (Look at this cute mug. I will buy two next time I am out.)
In terms of books I may or may not have bought the girls:
I have been graciously given tickets to attend the first annual Flaunt event on Wednesday, November 17 at Lago Bar & Grill. Flaunt is showcasing products and services of a variety of women in business from the Ottawa area. It’s about shopping, mingling-slash-networking, and (let’s be frank) getting an opportunity to ditch our sensible shoes.
Flaunt is organized by the Ottawa Chapter of Entrepreneurial Moms.
Tickets are only $15 per person and can be purchased at the door.
Lago is a really nice venue for a night out. You want to go. Really. But wear a coat because it’s a tiny hike from the parking lot across the street. (Damn those shoes.)
I have two tickets to give away to Flaunt and I’d like to give them to two different individuals. Please leave a comment if you’d like to go. Winners: I’ll have to meet you at the door to give you your ticket. I’ll do a random draw for two names at noon EST on Friday November 12.
So who wants to go?
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
