Black Friday Deals Week continues at WomenOnTheFence.com!

My beloved readers know that I became an ambassador for Microsoft Office a few years ago. It was thrilling, because I haven’t lived A DAY without Microsoft Office for the past 15 years. I have travelled to Microsoft headquarters, given away Microsoft products, held contests and more over the past few years. It has been a partnership I value tremendously.

Perhaps you have been using Microsoft Office like me for many years, or perhaps you’re just getting started. Yup, as a businesswoman and mom, these are some powerful and useful programs I simply cannot live without. Yes, I run Office on my Mac now, iPhone and iPad now, so Mac or PC, you’re covered!

Hello and Happy Monday! We are trying something new this year. We will be kicking off a WomenOnTheFence.com Black Friday WEEK with deals for you starting TODAY!

There’s no better place to stock up on the greatest office party, holiday season and New Year’s party attire AND gifts than the store on every main street and in every mall across Canada, and online at LeChateau.com.

LE CHÂTEAU is launching a new partnership with Dress for Success to help economically disadvantaged women experience a transformation in their self-esteem and confidence by providing them with professional, high-quality interview attire.

“We believe in the mission of Dress for Success – which emphasizes Dignity, Community, Employment. We want to give back by helping women take charge of their lives,” said Franco Rocchi, Senior Vice President, LE CHÂTEAU.

This Fall, LE CHÂTEAU is welcoming Dress for Success clients into their stores in six cities across Canada. They will be offered exclusive vouchers, allowing them free-of-charge access to LE CHÂTEAU’s latest career wear and will also receive personalized assistance from LE CHÂTEAU’s in-store stylists.

You might recall we had an exciting giveaway back in the summer. You, my lovely readers, know that I have been a loyal member of the Aeroplan program, accumulating Aeroplan Miles as I have spent dollars (which I have redeemed for airfare, hotel, car rental, merchandise, and more), for almost 20 years! Well, Aeroplan turned 30 this summer and we honored that anniversary by giving away 30,000 MILES to a lucky random WomenOnTheFence reader. It was cool!

As many of you know, I am the proud Brand Ambassador of Le Château, Canada’s leading specialty retailer and manufacturer of contemporary fashion apparel, accessories, and footwear at value pricing for style-conscious women and men of all ages. I can usually be seen on TV, at red carpet events, speaking, working, or even at carpool in Le Château. So, I’m excited to announce today that Le Château has teamed up with celebrated actress Lauren Holly to present Lauren’s Closet: an exclusive, on-trend collection launching this fall.

Lauren’s Closet is a sophisticated collection designed by Le Château and brought together by actress Lauren Holly. The collection ranges from chic daywear, to trendy casual wear and evening wear that encompass Lauren Holly’s lifestyle.

A few weeks ago, I had the great privilege of vacationing in Mont Tremblant, a beautiful vacation resort about 90 minutes north of Montreal in the Laurentian Mountains. My family has been skiing at Tremblant for years, and while we are used to going during the wintertime, this was our first vacation there during the summer.

It’s not every day Mattel makes a Barbie® to your likeness. To honor my role as Chief Inspiration Officer of Entrepreneur Barbie® with a mission to inspire entrepreneurship in girls across Canada, Erica Diamond Barbie® took 5 months to make. I am beyond proud and humbled, and if I am to be honest, it’s probably one of the most momentous milestones of my career.

As an entrepreneur since the age of 24 (now starting my fourth entrepreneurial venture), having written a book on female entrepreneurship, as a keynote speaker on entrepreneurship, a life and business coach for female entrepreneurs, and having made it my life’s mission to inspire others to take the dive into passion, this feels kind of like the pinnacle of your career.

Back to school is almost upon us, and who doesn’t love a good selection (and a good deal?) In case you’re new to this blog, the Aeroplan eStore features over 100 retailers such as Apple Store Canada, Indigo.ca, Dell.ca, and Sears.ca from 10 different product categories including accessories, apparel, gift cards and more. So from the comforts of your own home, you can shop online and earn at least 1 Aeroplan Mile for every $1 that you spend and then double that if you pay with one of the Aeroplan affiliated financial cards. Visit: www.aeroplan.com/eStore for more details.

If you love seeing your pictures come to life in an array of different, fun ways, may I show you something awesome. I recently discovered Black’s, who at first glance, I thought was just an online photo developing centre.

They are not. They are so much more.
