ActivitiesGiveawaysNews November 27, 2012 30
Be whisked mountaintop on the Super Skyride where you can enjoy the winter wonderland of The Peak of Christmas. There’s so much to see and do. Visit Santa in his workshop and have your photo taken, huddle together as you tour our mountain trails on a sleigh ride, visit the SOS Children’s Gingerbread Village and vote for your favourite creation, twirl on our 8,000 square foot mountaintop skate pond, decorate antlers and get a reindeer tattoo, take in the Holly the Jolly Reindeer Show or a Reindeer Ranger Talk (on most Peak of Christmas dates), or cozy up in the Chalet to enjoy Christmas classics in the Theatre in the Sky cinema.

- Weekend vibes ✨. I’m such a jeans girl (anyone else? ♀️) and am not someone who feels comfortable going out in sweatpants... so these faux leather joggers seem like a happy medium and are going to be worn on repeat this Fall. #rlsstyle #reallifestyledca . . . . . #vancouverfashion #vancouver #sweaterweather #cardigans #zaraaddiction #zarastreetstyle #vancouverstreetstyle #whatimwearing #fallfashion #weekendstyle #casualchic #outfitpost #dailyoutfits #southgranville #vancouver_ig #longweekendvibes #fauxleatherjoggers #joggers #stylefile
- One Girl CAN... As a lead-up to International Day Of The Girl on October 11th, I’m helping the @onegirlcansociety to spread the word about their amazing initiative. In partnership with @aghair and @brunettethelabel , @onegirlcansociety is encouraging us to pledge our support of girls’ rights and the elimination of gender inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa. Pledging to this cause supports girls as they take charge of their futures by demanding equitable treatment. The first 50 people who commit to the cause will receive a thank-you gift consisting of products from AG Hair's award-winning Natural line.

- Random fact: I used to workout at @30minutehit religiously when they first opened their North Van location (about 15 years ago)! Life happened in between and then life brought me back full circle to working out again at @30minutehit and I am LOVING it! Here are some reasons why: 1) It’s the fastest (30 minutes ), most intense way of getting a workout in with all our *full* lives We can ALL squeeze in 30 minutes to show our bodies some love! 2) I use muscles I didn’t know I had. 3)
- If I told you this was my real mane, I’d be lion. I got to check out @iloveqali today and have my Qali clip-in extensions blended (I heard all of you who weren’t into mermaids on my Stories poll).

SWIPE to see more of these gorgeous locks!!! #iloveqali #gifted 2nd and 3rd photos: @emheartshair . . . . . #hairtrends #extensions #clipinextensions #momjokes #cameheretoplay #qali #mermaidhair #musthave #fall2019 #fallfeels #blondie #outfitoftheday #lookoftheday #whatiwore #currentlywearing #mirrorselfie #blazer #jeans #fallfashion #streetfashion #casualclassy #effortlessstyle #minimalstyle #reallifestyledca #rlsstyle #stylepost #vancouverfashion
