Make & Mingle

A Night of Connection, Creativity, and Holiday Cheer

When Jamie from Bougie Rougie reached out to chat about hosting a holiday event together, we knew right away it was going to be something special. Her boutique is vibrant, full of personality, and bursting with colour and sparkle—basically the perfect setting for a holiday gathering. We were thrilled to team up and bring Make & Mingle to life.

Held on November 24, this event was all about slowing down during the busy season to connect, create, and celebrate in community. It wasn’t just another networking event. It was a cozy evening filled with hands-on ornament-making, meaningful conversation, laughter, and of course—decadent desserts from The Art of Cake and Bliss Baked Goods to sweeten the experience.

Whether guests came solo or with a friend, everyone left with something memorable:

✨ Handmade holiday ornaments

✨ New connections and genuine conversations

✨ A warm reminder of how supportive this community truly is

We loved seeing a mix of longtime members and new faces alike, all creating and sharing in a relaxed, playful space. It reminded us that networking doesn’t have to feel formal; it can look like laughing over glitter, swapping stories over cupcakes, and walking away with both new contacts and a creative spark.

A heartfelt thank you to Jamie for opening her doors and sharing her creative energy with us. If you haven’t visited her boutique yet, put it at the top of your list. It’s packed with sparkle, unique finds, and thoughtful details. And definitely keep an eye out for her workshops. You won’t regret signing up for one!

To everyone who joined us: thank you for making Make & Mingle such a joyful evening. We can't wait to do it again!

Bali at Last - Event Recap

Our first mixer of 2024!

What an amazing event, read on to hear more about a fantastic evening!

A glimpse into a vibrant room full of women in business networking & enjoying the BEST mocktails and cocktails from Tipsy Tays Bartending.

I will not be forgetting those coconut drinks anytime soon 🧉 and those delicious passed appetizers from Java Chef YEG 🤤

The decor of the event really pulled the theme together and I really don’t think The Banyan Collection could have done a better job, the fresh flowers were so refreshing to enjoy in the midst of this cold snap 🌺

Last Modern Events are there any words for what they were able to accomplish?? They are truly elevating Edmonton and I am so grateful to have them in the city and I can’t wait see what they do this year 🥹

✨A big highlight of the night for me was keynote speaker K.E.A Consulting asking us to simplify our life and consider the The ONE Book approach. She challenged us to find our word for the year and mine has to be glitter ✨

I want to spend 2024 serving this amazing community full of women in business by providing affordable tools you need to grow &scale your business by partnering with some of the most amazing women I have ever met 👏

Let’s make sure 2024 is filled with glitter and magic because I truly believe that TOGETHER there is nothing we can’t do 💪

In the YBB community you can expect one mixer every quarter and smaller networking event every month🌟

A big thank you again to our sponsors, and our amazing photo recap from Ana Carmela below.

Thank you, YBB Team

Women With Vision 2020 - Vision Board Creation Event Recap

2020 is our year of “GROWTH & LEADERSHIP”

What are your words? What are your goals? What are your aspirations?

We are so lucky to have connected with over 45 women to create vision boards of our own to start 2020 off just right! Did you know that this is the second year that WWV has SOLD OUT!? One of the many membership perks is getting first dibs and discounts on events and workshops like this!

The room was buzzing at Work Nicer in downtown Edmonton with goal planning and sharing as the hot topic.

We want to thank everyone including our amazing team for helping bring this event to life!

Jocelyn Davison our rock star event coordinator KILLED IT once again! We could not be more thankful for such a hardworking, kind & confident member on our team!

We kicked it off with a phenomenal grounding session from Kelsey Dalziel where she guided our attendees through a beautiful meditation to engage optimal mind sets before we created our 2020 Vision Boards!

“That session really helped me create a clear vision for myself. I came in not really knowing what to put on my board but after that grounding session I was able to think more clearly and come up with some awesome ideas for my board!” - Workshop Attendee

Nicole Constante is the women behind the vision of this workshop and we are so proud to have her back hosting for a second year! If you are lucky enough to know this women you will understand why she is the perfect person for this workshop! Always shining and such a joy to be around.

“Keep wondering what would it feels like. Keep imagining. Keep daydreaming. Think it into existence. Speak it into existence. Ask for it. Expect it. Believe it with every fiber of your whole entire being and give it no other choice but to come to pass.”

-Nicole

We want to thank the rest of our amazing supporters, sponsors, partners & volunteers for allowing us to bring these events to our community!
