The Sip and Stroll Experience!

Saturday evening Be the Gift set up outside of one of our favorite retailers, Not Too Shabby in downtown Vancouver for the annual Sip and Stroll event. We really had a great time, but for us what stood out was the sense of community between all of the businesses in this area. The amazing support for each other was absolutely inspiring. From help with our setup and open armed welcomes, to the friendships that were made and made stronger, there was a special sense of belonging. We want to say thank you to those of you who spent the evening with us learning more about what we offer and allowing us to learn more about you!

Self care is an important aspect that is often overlooked because of busy lifestyles. Recognizing the gift in taking care of one's self is the critical foundation of being available to care for others. Giving need not be at your expense.

Self care can also be really fun! This must-go girlfriend event will include health tips, massage and free beauty treatments along with survivor stories and the unique and powerful blessing board. Also, be the first to get your limited edition Girls Night Out T-shirts from Be the Gift that will be available at Nico Bella Salon.

The theme for this second year is: Now Is The New Later! and reminds women not to put our health off any longer. Today is the day to go for that check-up. Today is the day to start that yoga class. And today is the day to listen to your body. Come out to learn more about how to take care of your body and to celebrate the start of healthier lifestyle.
