Yesterday was a GREAT day!

Hey Lover,

(part one)

I had such an AWESOME day yesterday. 

Last week I got an email from the Downtown Halifax Business Commission asking me to be a part of their Wish List Campaign.  It's a campaign they do during the holidays to encourage consumers to buy local. 

Consumers get to choose something from a local store downtown and add that to their "wish list" and they stand a chance to win money towards buying that item. 

So I went for my photoshoot yesterday shot at J & R Grimsmo (AMAZING store!) with photographer 

Chris Geworsky.  The concept was me sitting on Santa's lap and digging into my inner overly excited  4 yr old kid. (uhhmm that kid wasn't far away AT ALL) 

Check out this behind the scenes video of the photoshoot that I had my friend Shariena take.

and a few pics

A couple of days ago I got an invite from Emma with The Black Business Initiative to a networking lunch event.  I had to dash to this event after my photoshoot.

What I thought to be a laid back networking event during lunch was actually lunch with 100+ business professionals from major organizations in Halifax who gathered to network and hear keynote speaker Sean Wise whose business mind is IMPECCABLE. 

It was amazing to hear him speak and a big thank you to Emma from the BBI for inviting me to be a part of the event. 

sidenote: the lunch was yummy, you know I had to pull out my blogger card and snap some pics of the food..LOL.
