Local Love List #2: A Biker Gang, Hollywood Comes to Edmonton and a Fab New Place to Shop!

April 7, 2017 By Kari 2 Comments

Local Love List Two-1

  • Congratulations to the Poppy Barley team and Edmonton designer Malorie Urbanovitch for being nominated for Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards! The show is taking place tonight (April 7)  in Toronto. Follow along live from the red carpet tomorrow night – here.
  • Speaking of Poppy Barley, they recently hosted a meaningful event celebrating International Women’s Day. I joined 30 other local women to talk about our city and our future. We met at Lifestyle Meditation and discussed “values” with the crew from lululemon Edmonton. It was an honour to be included. (Those are my black Poppy Barley boots in the photo below!) This is my absolute favourite photo from the event.

Local Love List Two-2

  • Congrats to the team at Central Social Hall on their new renovation! The re-opening goes tomorrow (April 8) with a private event from 7-9, before Central opens to the public at 9:00 p.m. The new menu looks great! 
  • A movie is being filmed in Edmonton right now called Puppy Love, starring Hopper Penn (Sean Penn’s son). They’ve filmed all over the city, including Uncle Albert’s on 124th street a few weeks ago, and most recently in the Bonnie Doon and Strathern neighbourhoods. Sean Penn has reportedly been spotted in Edmonton while his son films, so keep your eyes peeled!

Local Love List Two-4

  • Saks Off Fifth opened a new location in north Edmonton’s Skyview Power Centre (13554 137 Ave). To celebrate, they’re giving away $50 gift certificates every thirty minutes all weekend. See what I picked up from Saks – here!
  • The Orchid Fair is on April 7-9 at The Enjoy Centre. What a way to welcome spring, surrounded by stunning flowers!
  • I love this piece on shopping local from one my my favourite local blogs withjustine.com
  • Well-loved Edmonton photographer Blakes Loates is starting a biker gang! The plan is to go on bicycle adventures every Sunday “from May until the snow flies.” Sounds like the ride will end at a pub or coffee shop. What a fabulous way to get to know your city. More – here.

What do you do when other kids are mean to your ki What do you do when other kids are mean to your kid? How do you handle it? No matter what season you're in with parenting or how old your kids are, I would love to hear your tactics! Please share below in the comments and we can all learn from each other👇👇. #pinkshirtday

Even when Wyatt was littler and would sometimes get rejected at the park when he asked to play, it would shatter my heart. 😫

I was bullied in high school pretty bad. My aunt stepped in one time and regulated some mean girls. Shared the (now) hilarious story on my Stories.❤❤

Wyatt's cute tee is from @deuxpardeuxkids, I'm wearing my @smashtess sweetheart roper and that heart print out is @justinema's free printable Kindness Challenge! (Looks like I have some catching up to do)! 🤣
See that cute little face photo bombing in the bac See that cute little face photo bombing in the back? 😊 He helps with my mental health on a daily basis. I know what each person needs varies, but for me, getting alone time to walk the dogs has been key in managing my anxiety and stress (especially this past year).

I believe investing in mental health initiatives is more important than ever. I’m so happy to be partnering with @atbfinancial for a really meaningful campaign called #ATBUp.

Each weekday from March 1-12, one more simple, FUN social challenge will be presented. When you complete and share on social using #ATBUp, @atbfinancial will donate $1 to @mentalhealthab!

I’ll be heading up two challenges—and including Moses 🐶 and Monroe 🐶. I hope you’ll join me! 😊💛

Visit up.atb.com to enter to win prizes, and get more info about the challenges and Alberta’s Mental Health Foundation.
I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with you. I miss traveling. The end. Happy Valentine's Day!
