Rouge Beauty Lounge, Penticton’s latest and greatest full-service spa and salon, is heating up the Okanagan with its new approach to old Hollywood glam.  Partners in polishing, Yolanda Abraham and Tania Chartrand are making waves in this lakeside town while establishing themselves as the place for pedicures and pampering. 

As luck would have it, I have been given the extreme pleasure of helping these Esthetic geniuses with informing their clients of upcoming events, product reviews and other Rouge-related hype.  Stay tuned for their blog… it’s bound to be addicting!

February has already proved to be just as wonderfully hectic as January (could this be what they refer to as ‘momentum’?); another artistic project from RAGE and several from Gonzo, a local print and web magazine focussed on music, film and culture.

Currently in the works:  An article on exuding confidence (which is witty and brilliantly executed… then again, I am a smidge-bit biased), film reviews (I can’t wait for Alice in Wonderland – I suspect Johnny Depp will rock his role as the Mad Hatter) and a feature-interview on Canadian country music artist, Victoria Banks. 

Should anyone need to locate me, I can be found on Cloud 9… tickled a delicious shade of bubblegum pink!

2010 is already shaping up to be a seriously creative (and productive) year.  I have written more this last month than I have in most years, inspiration-level is through the roof!  Besides starting on my own book, there are a ton of exciting new projects in the works…

On the go:

RAGE – An up-and-coming magazine (web currently, print eventually) focused on fashion, art and culture has launched in Kelowna.  My first RAGE article (see link below) was published on the site January 28, with more to follow soon. 

On the horizon:

Nickle and Thyme – My dear friend, Kristal Burgess (cook and photographer-extraordinaire) is self-publishing her first cookbook (due out later this year) and I have happily signed on as editor!  With an entire chapter dedicated to bacon, this is going to be a must-have book.
