Love Apples at Bodacious

Here at Bodacious we have love on our minds and we want to let you know how much you mean to us by introducing a special Valentine's gift pack from Barefoot Venus.

We have the newest scent from Barefoot Venus right here and it's called LOVE APPLES!

With red apples, exotic spices and hot cinnamon, it's Love at first smell!

We've put together seductive body oil, lotion, and moisturizing wash, added some candy hearts and cinnamon hearts and topped it off with a real vintage paper Valentine card just like you got from your sweetheart in elementary school.

Come on in and get a LOVE APPLES gift set or you can buy bottles separately.

Why not pick up a sexy frock while you're at it?

Your Valentine will be sure to thank you.

Join us on Facebook!

Well...we've finally brought Bodacious into the Facebook world. Please check out our page and become a fan. We'd love to hear your stories, feedback, inspiration. We'll keep you up to date with pix, events and a little inspiration of our own.
...celebrating your curves...

A New Baby Has Arrived!

We want to send out a big congratulations to...

our Alix and her husband, Mark on their new bundle of joy. Introducing Nigella Simone Purkis born on Tuesday, January 13th at 16:16. We wish them all the best and can't wait to meet the new little beauty!

Thoughts...

We've had some fantastic media hits lately including this weeks' CBC Living Vancouver spot. (click on the box that says - LV 09.01.12 and go to the 9 1/2 minute mark. Not super easy but we think it's worth a watch) We also just learned that we are to be on the March COVER of the new Today's Vancouver Woman (formerly known as Shared Vision). How exciting and how scary! That's pretty much an 8 1/2 by 11 shot...of us...on the COVER! Eyebrows? Check. Hair? Check. Makeup? Apparently they have 'people' for that.
As always, when we're interviewed, our biggest concern is that they 'get' us. We feel we're so much more than a retail store selling clothes. We are about celebrating women, in the moment! We are about empowering women and discouraging the negative self-talk. We are about providing clothing options for women so they can have a style of their very own. We are about promoting a full and happy lifestyle that includes comfy and stylish clothes, accessories, scents that make you smile and walk a little taller down the street.
We hope you're having a great week and have some plans to "celebrate your curves" this weekend!

Alternative Wedding Bells are ringing!

Whether you are planning a wedding or know someone who is, this just may be the event of the year. I happen to be planning an I Do this summer and the thought of all that expensive, crazy wedding stuff scares me to death. I do want an alternative to a big expensive wedding, I do want to do things a little different than most and I do need to set a date. I will set a date before January 17th and I can't wait to see what's in store for me at Vancouver's First Alternative Wedding Show!
Check out their website here and maybe we'll see you at The Heritage Hall on Saturday January 17th from 11-6?
I Do think you will enjoy it!!

CRAVE Vancouver - The Urban Girl's Manifesto

Last week we attended the launch party of the new Crave Vancouver Book at The Cross in Yaletown. (If you've never been to The Cross, I highly recommend checking it out! It's definitely one of the most beautiful stores in Vancouver)

We have been chosen again as one of the featured stores - yay! It's a beautifully put together book with lots of photos and information on each featured shop. It features and celebrates all women owned, independent businesses in Vancouver. A great gift idea for any girlfriends coming from out of town. It's also great for us locals who tend to stick close to home and could use some new shopping inspiration!

They also do a Seattle version which I took along this past weekend on my annual Seattle trek. Both books now available at Bodacious!

Just in time for the Weekend!

Kairos handbags of the faux suede persuasion! Delicious colours!
Check out their website for colours, sizes, etc...

Thanks to all of you who came out and supported our Bodacious Roks event last week!
It really did rock - thanks to the fantastic live band - The Lucky Devils - playing in our window. We also raised over $400 for the "Welcome to My Life" YWCA program!!! Congratulations to all who won the beautiful IceRok jewelry pieces and to the lucky grand prize winner of the pink sapphire angel wing necklace ($1000 retail value!). We'll try to get a pic for you all...
