Loukia
Instagram: @mrsloulou
I started Loulou’s Views in 2007 so friends and family could keep up with the day-to-day happenings of my life as a mom. I’ve always loved writing and sharing my views on everything from parenting to beauty and travel, so blogging was a natural fit for me.
My lifestyle blog is for people who love travel, beauty, shopping, style, fashion, and entertainment. I’m a product junkie and a shopaholic, and I am fortunate to be able to do what I love–working with great brands and companies to share my views and reviews with my readers and followers.
A little bit about me: I graduated from Carleton University with a degree in Communications and received my Broadcast Journalism degree from Loyalist College. I spent several years working in television and radio, completed an internship at CBS TV in Washington, D.C. and Entertainment Tonight in Hollywood, California, and have been working in Communications for over 12 years. My biggest accomplishment, though, is being a mom to my two children, who are now 14 and 12 years old.

Nude Beverages was founded in B.C., Canada, with one big goal: make the best alcoholic beverages in the world.
We were done with the sugary, hangover-inducing products available in the market, even the ones that were supposed to be “better for you”.
Instead of waiting for a better option to come along, we created it. Introducing Nude Beverages.
Working alongside an industry-leading and award-winning beverage developer, the result is what we believe to be the new standard in the alcoholic beverage industry.

Back in high school, I was a storyteller. I was the “yearbook girl” or “camera girl” (for real, some teachers and staff knew me by this name even though I never interacted with them). Taking yearbook as a class (in our school it wasn’t a class, it was a course for credits woot!) definitely impacted my life in a huge way. It was my intent to fill the pages not only with photos but with photos that told a story, set a mood and reflected that time period (looking back now, to be honest, I’m not sure I achieved this at all but y’all I tried). After leaving high school I still felt that same drive for creating stories and pouring my heart and soul into a creative project.
I’m invested in what I do. Each year I strive to learn more. I am thankful to have attended We Three Workshops and Alpine North West. I had the opportunity to learn with the best of the best.
I’m also a student affairs nerd, currently pursuing a Certificate in Adult Learning Specializing in Career and Academic Advising with the University of Calgary.
I incorporate my value of education into my work with clients. Creating expectations about the experience, sharing tip sheets and providing planning tools is a part of my process

You know when you have thoughts in your mind that come and go? Then, somehow, they collide to form an idea; one you feel so compelled to manifest? That idea is Neo Juicery. It’s an idea that stemmed from a passion for health, a belief that nutrition is our best tool to fight disease, a deep concern about the state of our food system, and a daring curiosity to explore the deep dark waters of the unprecedented territory.
Neo, coined from the Greek word neos (meaning new) of the Neolithic Era in our history, is a fitting name for a concept that will push the boundaries of industry norms. Simply put, we want to bring you something new, healthy and transformative because we believe wholeheartedly that a healthy beverage made right can transform your life for the better.
We are committed to using organically-grown ingredients, providing you our juices and medicinal elixirs in recyclable glass bottles, delivered to your door, with 100% of our generated pulp reused to make a variety of edible delights.

Instagram: Freshprep.ca
Fresh Prep was started in the Winter of 2014 by childhood friends Becky Switzer, Dhruv Sood and Husein Rahemtulla who were all in search of an easier answer to the question “what’s for dinner?” For busy people they found there were too many obstacles to cooking a wholesome meal at home and that made it all too appealing to just grab fast food instead. They figured there had to be a better option and that’s why they started Fresh Prep.
With Fresh Prep you just click and cook. It’s gone from dream to reality and we’re on a mission to share this great solution with all of Vancouver, and to do it in an honest and sustainable way.
Mission
We believe that the quality of your life starts with the food you eat. By eating the right food, your mind and body can flourish and function at the best of its ability. The problem is: you’re too busy, and you don’t have time to eat well, often resorting to take-out or fast food. It takes too much time to plan, shop, cut and clean up.
That’s why at Fresh Prep, we find the absolute easiest way for you to access the highest quality food, every day. We are committed to making your life in the kitchen, and outside the kitchen, as easy and as stress-free as possible.
Instagram @risekombucha
Sure, everyone’s mom is special, but RISE’s mother is the mother of all kombuchas for a reason. Although she’s happily settled in Montreal where she grew up, she was actually born in the South Pacific. When world travelers Mathieu Gallant and David Côté crossed paths randomly, thousands of miles from home, on the sandy beaches of Hawaii, the former acquaintances bonded over their interest in the islands’ raw food and drink scene. An idea germinated, and the two backpackers soon said “aloha” to Hawaii and “allo” to their native Canadian province of Quebec with a business plan in mind… along with an actual piece of a Hawaiian kombucha SCOBY in their carry-on. As RISE’s mother-to-be adjusted to life in the North East, Gallant and Côté met Simon Bertrand, the former president of RISE. The three friends, all intent on creating a locally produced, organic, fair-trade and vegan kombucha, put together a super-star team of businessmen, brewers, and scientists to form what’s now the over 60-member team that makes up RISE. The maple tree-lined streets of Montreal might be a far cry from the palm tree-dotted beaches of Hawaii where it all began, but that’s what makes our mother’s story so special. We’re happy to share her ecologically-sound and socially-conscious kombucha with you. Think of every bottle of RISE as a Hawaiian lei made of Quebecois fleurs-de-lis — totally unique.
