BOMBAY SAPPHIRE – Sapphire Sangaree drink recipe

Killers (Ashton Kutcher & Katherine Heigl) – in theaters June 4, 2010
Don’t be fooled by the violent title – with stars like Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, the feel of the movie reminded me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith crossed with the suburban feel of Desperate Housewives.

Young Women in Business (YWiB) – Exploring Purple (May 14, 2010)
.
Exploring Purple is a fresh and fiery take on an old debate – what are the different roles between men and women in the workplace. Are the stereotypes, obstacles and conventions that attribute to gaps in wages, promotions and job security still relevant in our modern work environment? Has equality in the workplace arrived or is it just a myth? Where do we go from here? Young Women in Business, a group of emerging female leaders in Vancouver, want to find out. On May 14 they will be hosting a panel discussing women in business.
.
“Women make less because they’ll work for less,” said Ghost Ceo founder Chris Flett at the provocative All-Male Panel discussion at YWiB’s Beyond Pink conference in November. He will join some of Vancouver’s savviest and successful men and women including:
.
· Bob Elton, BC Hydro
· Ken Sim, Nurse Next Door
· Tamara Vrooman, Vancity
· Cybele Negris, Webnames.ca
· Anne Giardini, Weyerhaeuser
.
The teams of men and women will go head to head in this exclusive panel talk, moderated by Blo Blow Dry Bar Founder, Judy Brooks. This is Exploring Purple, where pink meets blue. The first of its kind, Exploring Purple creates a space to have an honest and collective dialogue involving generations of Vancouver’s business community. This honest and raw panel conversation hopes to empower young women and men to celebrate equality in business. This once in a lifetime experience promises to be provocative, energizing and compelling.

Starbucks – Half Price Frappuccinos (May 7 to 16)
I remember back in the day, before I started drinking “real” coffee, a Starbucks Frappuccino blended beverage was my way of drinking a grown up’s coffee drink, but disguised as a milkshake. Now, Frappuccinos have become a Starbucks staple, with a huge variety of new flavours – from strawberry to green tea. Furthermore, with their newest beverage promotion, Starbucks is encouraging its customers to personalize their drinks and customize their Frappuccino. Choose from any of their syrup shots (vanilla? hazelnut? caramel?) and get it blended with cream. Get it light or get it with a double shot of espresso. The possibilities are only limited to your tastes and imagination! Join Starbucks for happy hour between 3pm and 5pm and enjoy a half priced Frappuccino blended beverage from now until May 16, 2010.
