“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” At least it should be. Unfortunately, all the stress surrounding gifts, dinner parties, decorating, and perfecting Grandma’s pie recipe takes some of the fun out of the Holidays. I’m sure you want to spend your time with your family and friends instead of worrying about how you can balance your time between finding that perfect gift for your niece and decorating your table. But I also know that you want the holidays to be picture perfect! Thank goodness Orangefish is running an awesome event in November called “The Holiday Hunt”. Expert presenters will give you handy tips on how to pull off a memorable holiday without all the stress. And of course, they’ll be tips on how to do all this on a budget!

Here’s a Summary of our fabulous presenters:

Getting my Beach on with Orangefish.ca

On Wednesday July 21^st , Orangefish held a fabulous event “The Heat is On: From the Boardroom to the Beach” at Verity, a chic women’s club in Toronto. We had amazing speakers from puh-Nash, Perceptions Eyewear, Fit, Firm ‘n Fab and Indigo Books who gave us some great tips about making the most out of the summer.

A few things I learned:

  * Bikinis aren’t appropriate for the office. Okay, so maybe I already knew that, but Nashly from puh-Nash showed us that you can take your style from the boardroom to the beach (and still look like the savvy professional you are).  It’s all about the accessories! You can take a cute dress and wear it to the beach, work, and out on a hot date using statement jewelry, a blazer, and killer heels. Talk about multitasking!

  * Glasses can tell a lot about a person if they’re chosen right. They are not just functional but are also an accessory. This calls for a shopping trip for some new shades!
 

  * The last time you ate that ooey gooey piece of cheese pizza did you say “its okay I’ll just walk home extra fast”. Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way guys. Eating healthy real, unprocessed foods is the key to looking hot in your favorite bikini. Check out this crazy video on guest speaker Funk Roberts' fitness blog.

  * We all love those late summer nights out but they could actually be keeping you from trimming down your waistline. People who get less than 8 hours of sleep find it more difficult to lose weight. And with summer’s shortened hemlines what girl wants that? Sounds like it’s time for a nap for me! Bring on the chamomile tea and pjs!

     * I now have a reading list of at least 20 books to get through while I soak up some rays on the beach. I better put down Cosmo and get going! On my list:
              

       Eat, Pray, Love
  The Girl With the Dragon tattoo (included in the event gift bag)
  The Elegance of the Hedgehog
  Still Alice
  The Passage

And what’s an event without prizes. There was no shortage in this area at the event! They included:

From puh-Nash:

A full style consultation

A pair of super cute sparkly gold flip flops

From Orangefish.ca

a Mimobot “Bossy Bear” USB stick

a handy and stylish Bra bag

An interchangable Marble ring

From Perceptions Eyewear:

a book from about building confidence and leaving a lasting impression

                                             

From Fit, Firm, ‘n Fab:

an e-book about keeping fit

Congrats to the lucky winners! But everyone was a winner for attending and taking time to do something for themselves. And I can’t leave out the amazing giftbags! They included some awesome swag like the popular book “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”, 2 tote bags, soap, and 3 gift certificates. Participants left feeling rejuvenated, motivated and inspired… and they also felt like shopping!

The Heat is On!

Summer’s here and the bikinis, flip flops, and sunscreen are coming out of the back of the closet. Its time to take a break from your busy schedule to just enjoy some you-time. Whether that’s lying on a beach soaking up some rays, or hitting the gym to get that bikini bod orangefish.ca wants to help you move from the boardroom to the beach.
