Hidden fashion gem indeed...in Ottawa

I was recently introduced to a great designer here in Ottawa...Demu label is a hidden fashion gem in Ottawa.

Apparently "Demu stems from the word "Demutig", a German term that denotes Humble; the human characteristic we deemed one of the most admirable. Regardless of where this venture may take us, Demu will remind us to never take anything for granted and always give back to the world that provided us with the opportunity to write our own story and give us control of our own destiny."

Very cool website - check out their gallery!

Explore, Savour and Enjoy Ottawa

I was invited by to join C'est Bon Cooking on one of their Food Tours of the Byward Market. It just happened to be a beautiful day and perfect walking around the Market weather! And the company was fantastic...


I must admit that like many Ottawa natives, I thought I knew what the Byward Market had to offer: bars, restaurants, and an outdoor market of fresh produce. But when I attended this Food Tour, it really opened my mind and I learned alot about the wonderful businesses and unique offerings they each have. Not only did we visit several locations, but we tasted many different flavours, learned alot about the history of the Market, and were given an appreciation for cooking with different ingredients...exlored everything from truffle salt, fresh cheese, to beef tartar, and fresh herbal tea.




One thing that really stood out was the Savour Ottawa program - "Savour Ottawa works to develop and promote Ottawa and area as a premier, year-round culinary destination, with robust offerings of local foods and experiences for both locals and visitors to the area." What a wonderful program and I highly recommend everyone support them and the local farmers!

As an Event Planner, I'm always looking for unique ideas for events. C'est Bon Cooking Food Tours is a wonderful idea for anyone looking to organize an event such as a bridal shower, birthday party, anniversary, or even a bachelorette to which the traditional at-home parties or bar hopping are not as exciting or appealing. Not only do you get fresh air and exercise but great recipes and recommendations of what to try on your own.

I would highly recommend that everyone join one of these Food Tours...it's a wonderful experience and the ladies of C'est Bon Cooking are a pleasure to be around and really know alot about food and Ottawa!

Start off the season with Networking with Wedding and Event Pros

If you're looking for a warm, inviting space for a private event or wedding you must check out Stella Osteria on Clarence Street. It was our next location for the Networking for Ottawa Wedding and Event Professionals on April 26th.

We had a great turnout considering the wet and windy weather - at one point there was lightening and thunder. Many new faces amongst the many familiar faces - glad to see the mixing and mingling that took place!

Our featured sponsors for this event included photos taken by the folks of Eventbots, floral designs by Sage Designs, entertainment by the AMAZING Elliott Smith - Magician, stationary by Inky Designs, mini speed networking event by Fuchsia Factory, and destination wedding advice from Authentic Foodie Travels, TPI.
