Jukari Fit!

So you might notice that on occasions I hit serious work out highs, I easily get distracted and am always looking to find the next best workout to get my body where I believe I want it to be... still hasn't gotten there, but here's hoping!

I was invited to the Jukari Fit to Fly event from their creators Cirque du Soleil and Reebok! I had seen this workout on TV before, by all means I am a celebrity junkie and never miss a story. But when I was invited to this I couldn't turn it down for how fun the opportunity to get to do the same workout I have seen Brooke Burke and Brooklyn Decker do! Please I will give anything to have either body, and well... Brooke Burke let's me to believe Momma can fly too!

Here in Toronto, the first location to house this great fitness experience was the King West Fitness, what a great space for this fitness routine. I was unfortunately in high heels at this event and didn't get a chance to try it out but my girl friend did and has already booked sessions to do it. Fun is the number one key!

In Canada you can only go to classes in Toronto and gyms in Quebec, they have locations in the UK, Hong Kong and nationwide in the US. So there is no excuse, time to fly baby! Best thing I can say is it really brings out that fun girl in you!

Cheers!~

A little bit of Sublime, to pass the time!

Last Friday I got to go to a beauty launch party! And when I realised it was a beauty event I knew the smartest thing to do was to invite my little cousin to come a long... no one loves make up like she does, so this was totally up her alley.

When we arrived at the L'Oreal Creative Labs her face lit up and I knew we were up for a good little launch! It's like they knew I was coming everything was my favorite shade of hot pink, we even ate strawberry mousse cups, but the guest of honour that night was Hair!

L'Oreal was launching for the first time in Canada their new Sublime Mousse hair dye, I think I have dyed my hair a million times since the age of 16, this was totally up my alley, especially since my roots are growing in and getting bored of this colour already! They had models with freshly dyed hair walking around and sharing their great new colour, and even the fabulous Eric Del Monaco (who you'll hear more about this week to come) showing us how great the product was to use and apply.

Now I couldn't go to such a great event and just come on here to brag, so the great people of L'Oreal put together a great little swag bag for a lucky reader of Mommydoings; this contest is unfortunately only for those who live in Canada.


So easy, just :

1- comment and let me know what sublime means to you and

2- follow the blog or like the facebook page, let me know which one you chose to do, and what your contact name is on it.

*contest runs til April 24th... don't miss out!*

Cheers!~

A few of my favorite things!

Last year was so much of a ride for me... I started off the year ending my event contract, working on the best event I have set my eyes on, to running for city council to well just celebrating my girls turning 3 and 2 respectively.

I said it yesterday that but I'll say it again, this year was a journey for myself, I turned 30 and I didn't want to get there unsatisfied or feeling like I missed out in any way. My plan was to be healthier, to appreciate myself and well just to have as much fun as I can get away with being a mom!!! I did that and well, I just want to share again some of my favorite posts about some of my most favorite things that happened this year!

ENJOY!!~~

• I started last year with a new recipe and well something that has now become a staple in my household the famous Angie Roast Pork--- while everyone was reserved and unsure about if they were interested or not, this was famously received, and it's almost expected now!
  
  


• Something that was hugely monumental for me and not so much for my readers... but as a mommy the Social Calendar; I can never begin to tell you the importance of getting out being social and meeting good friends or even meeting new friends.... it really was a huge part of my happiness project! I need the social and this is really what the Dr. ordered for me!
  
  


• To my favorite blog post I wrote all year... because the sheer reality of it, well makes me laugh every time I read it!
  
  


• My most visually pleasing post, and well just my favorite colour... my ode to the colour PINK!
  
  


• A post I might need to re-read to myself over and over again until I get this organised thing down--- but a good one, with a lot of people with good advice commenting!
  
  


• My most favorite thing I found on Youtube EVER!!! This little girl is simple perfection!
  
  


• The post that made me feel like sometimes our words can impact someone, I got the best email from this post that made me almost cry my eyes out! We all need a personal GPS!


• Realising there are role models for us all, even those who chose being a mommy over a career in their earlier years of life.... best role model ever Carolina Herrera-- but this is a post I want to revisit again this year.
  
  
• And last but not least, my most favorite event I attended all year, or at least one that I enjoyed that I didn't work on! The British Invaded!

I had a great year, and had fun sharing a lot of it with my very dedicated readers... if there is a post you read that was you favorite please do share it with me. I am looking forward to the fun stuff I have in store for the blog this year!

Cheers!~

Sex pistols was not the theme! LOL!

But it sure was worthy of it's name.... I got to attend the ultimate exclusive 'God Save The Queen' event at the Room in the Bay. This was not your little spot of tea event... but there sure was some champers!

No detail was spared on this theme

I had never been to the, well that's a lie maybe over 13 years ago, when it was a dark whole bunch of stuffy... but wow--- the difference, the bright whiteness of this place glows, every piece shines in this room that has a fluidity that makes you want to roam and roam again through the same sections because it really is a fun space.

The Charlotte Olympia shoe is serious SEXY

But what a great feel for their much fun event that was bringing a bunch of London's best to Toronto. There was some of the usual London Fashion names to expect Mark Fast (who really has been doing the heavy promoting in Toronto for the last year), Erdem and Charlotte Olympia (can I say SOLID FANTASTIC shoes) but I was drawn to the show for someone whose designs left me speechless when I saw them walk down the runway online and followed up by a fantastic twitter conversation with the lovely Mary Katrantzou--- this woman deserves a post on it's own!

The intricately beautiful Mario Schwab

Where do I begin with the pieces that were on display, but to tell you the British are back and with bling in tow. Everyone wants some glitz and glam in their life... and these pieces don't disappoint when wanting to add a little sparkle in your everyday. From the slightly metallic strong colours on the beautiful brocade Erdem dresses, to full on rhinestone embellished Mario Schwab frocks that would make most ladies slightly jealous, to the intrinsically knitted into the dress jewels that Mark Fast added to his already show stopping skin baring pieces.

The Lula Pop-up shop

Ohhh and did anyone go by the next couple days after the event and see the Lula pop-up store? The very gamine looking Leith was ultimately pleasurable and those adorable Rodarte t-shirts are too cute, (OH husband are you reading this???)

The beautiful details in the Erdem pieces

It really was a fun night, from the gaggle of boys waiting outside with a London theme filled moment from the valet to the boys serving us cocktails all night, little bites of scrumptious and gift bags that were union jack appropriate. I had an extra fun night with my lovely gal on the town Melissa, it surely was one of the better events I've been to in a while!
