Spooky Bananas...?!

Hi everyone, just a quick note to say Happy Halloween! It's a jam packed day of catch up, clean up and tricks and treats! I want to tell you all about my Stiletto Camp that I had the last two day, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Let's just say it was amazing! Thanks so much Kim Duke and all of the ladies I met and made connections with!
So, I will post some pics of our costumes tomorrow...I thought I had figured out what we were going to be, but not sure yet. Talk about last minute! Have to dive into the Tickle Trunk! Yeah! I love Halloween! Dressing up, having fun, carving pumpkins, and Candy!! This year our niece is here, so we get to go Trick or Treating with her. It's going to be so much fun!
I was looking for a funny picture to post here from past Halloween's but I have to search for them. Tomorrow I will try to dig them up and post some past Costume pics, plus tonights!
Have a Fun and Wacky and Safe Halloween!
Stay away from Spooky Bananas....

So Much to Talk About

Oi!
I am back and still trying to process this past weeks events!

Starting last Thursday I attended a two day Conference/Seminar/Trade Show put on by the E Women's Network. http://www.ewomennetwork.com/ This was a fabulous group of women that have made connections across North America through the membership. There were several different speakers that all had cool and interesting perspectives on everything from Sales to Publicity to being a Recovering Control Freak to Stress Relief Through Comedy! I learned so much, was able to have a table to show off the Best of Belo Sol and to make real connections with several women in business. An off shoot from that conference is a "Stiletto Camp" put on by Kim Duke, The Sales Diva! Kim had great advice for me and I wanted to learn more, so I am off to another conference next week for two days! Whew...lots going on, I can't wait to be able to put to use all of the pheonomenal advice, information and suggestions that I have gotten. Stay tuned for several changes to all aspects of Belo Sol, it's time to step things up and take over the world, one bikini at a time!!!


After this conference I had one day off, to go the Stampeders football game against Winnipeg. Speaking of football as you all know, I love it and my good friend and beadmaker Carrie Hamilton of the Beadtree, sent me this wonderful picture of Cairo tearing apart our rivals football. Cairo told the future that night, as the Stamps did tear apart the Eskies! Sorry Carrie, I had to do it! Thanks for the pic though!

So after the game on Saturday, it was back to work on Sunday for me as it was the Women in Business Fair. This year was much more professional and I made really great contacts. I would like to thank the women of Airdrie Women in Small Business for putting together such a successful show.

Monday started off Small Business Week in Airdrie with a Chamber Luncheon, great Networking advice was given. Tuesday was lunch with Grandma and Grandpa and then off to a seminar about being an entreprenuer...learned a few things even though I have already started my own business. On Wednesday was a marketing talk with the Editor of Airdrie Life magazine, which was very informative. I hope to write an article in Airdrie Life for their Spring issue...stay tuned!

Whew, it has been a crazy week, Thursday and Friday have been my marketing days, trying to get a few things underway to really step up my business! Tell everyone you know that I am out here!!

Okay, enough is enough....will chat again on weekend, with some more fun stuff and fabulous new deals that will be coming out soon.


Tchau for now! Tricia

Crazy Week

Oi! Well I have not been here in awhile as life has been pretty hectic. Vistors, fall, election (I worked as a poll clerk), Vegas, various meetings and just life in general has been pretty crazy. So I have just stopped in to let you know what the next couple of days is looking like for Belo Sol. Tomorrow, I am off to the EWomen Network Seminar and Conference that is happening in Calgary Thursday and Friday. This is a chance for me to hear some fabulous women speak about their businesses as well as exhibit my business and products. I hope it is a awesome time and I hope to build a great network of ladies to keep in touch with. Saturday will be a break day which I intend to go the Football Game with Mike and watch the Stamps beat the Blue Bombers. And then Sunday is the Airdrie Women in Small Business Fair, Come on out ladies and guys...should be a great time! It's at the Town and Country Centre in Airdrie, hope to see you there.
I will be back next week with more exciting things, some pics, some stories etc. Just been too busy to blog!
Next week is crazy too as it is Small Business Week in Airdrie!

Tchau, Tricia
