Fall is almost upon us, and whether you’re a working girl or stay-at-home mom, here…

Back to School is quickly approaching… can you believe it?! It is literally around the corner (sniff sniff), and if you’re on the fence about what to buy and where to buy what your kids need- you’re not alone.

As you know, I am an Brand Ambassador for RetailMeNot.com, the largest coupon site in the US with exclusive discounts and cut-out coupons DAILY. What makes RMN the most incredible shopping resource, is the amazing brands they offer and their huge discounts. Literally, all your favorite American and Canadian brands are there, such as Target, Victoria’s Secret, Land’s End, Old Navy, Dominos Pizza, Macy’s, Forever 21, Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, Nordstrom, Best Buy and MANY MORE. Plus they just launched their new FREE app, so you can now save on the spot, in store.

If you recall, last month I announced that I am a proud Brand Ambassador for RetailMeNot.com – the largest coupon site in the U.S. If you know me well, you know that I love great quality things, but only at the right price. Who doesn’t love a great discount? So when I got the opportunity to partner up, I was thrilled. If you are new to RetailMeNot.com, it is an AMAZING site that has exclusive discounts and cut-out coupons DAILY for your favorite brands in the US and Canada- brands such as Target, Victoria’s Secret, Land’s End, Old Navy, Dominos Pizza, Macy’s, Forever 21, Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, Nordstrom, Best Buy and MANY MORE.

So it gives me great pleasure to announce that TODAY, RetailMeNot.com has launched their NEW and FREE app! Watch this now!

If you are a regular reader, you know that Microsoft Office is definitely one of my favorite things! Perhaps you have been using Microsoft Office like me for many years, or perhaps you’re just getting started. If you have never heard of Office, maybe you’ve heard of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. Yup, as a businesswoman and mom, these are some powerful and useful programs I simply cannot live without. I’m thrilled to be the Spokesperson for Microsoft Office 2010.

Online shopping has never been more fun, or more affordable at RetailMeNot.com. I encourage you to go daily, and check out their deals and discounts. Need something at Home Depot? There are coupons for that. Wanna buy something on Amazon.com? There’s a deal for that too! There are even coupons to Cirque De Soleil shows in Canada. And the grocery coupons are incredible. It’s truly an unbelievable resource for everyone.

We’re back with another one of my favorite things! If you like the Women On The Fence brand, then you will love these inspirational tees, called So Lucky To B Me. I have been wearing them the past few months and I LOVE them! I have them in black and white, they fit incredibly well, and they have a beautiful message too.

I have been waiting to share some great news with you. And it’s great because, it involves YOU, my fabulous readers!

You know that working with Brands is a big part of what I do. And when I align myself with one, it has to be the perfect fit. I have to share the vision. I have to believe in the vision. Otherwise, I won’t put my name behind it.

But today, I am proud to announce my alliance with Dove® on their “Nourish Your Mind, Body and Soul Campaign” and I am inviting you to come along with me to Canyon Ranch!!!! Yes you heard right! Canyon Ranch ladies. End of May. Arizona.

Why I jumped at the chance to work with Dove, is their message to women. Dove® is committed to helping all women realize their personal beauty potential. Dove® believes that beauty should be for everyone, and that every woman deserves to look and feel her very best. When I first saw their self-esteem campaign, I knew I wanted to work with them. Watch this.

I have been keeping this under wraps for some time until I was given the green light last Friday. Yes, I actually became a Spokesperson for one of my FAVORITE THINGS of the past 13 years… a definitely cool thing. So, since I haven’t gone one single day without using Microsoft Office since I started my first business in 1999, it was only fitting it belonged here, as one of my favorite things.

Perhaps you have been using Microsoft Office like me for many years, or perhaps you’re just getting started. If you have never heard of Office, maybe you’ve heard of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. Yup, as a businesswoman and mom, these are some powerful and useful programs I simply cannot live without.

It’s almost that time of year– the holiday season! This is by far my favorite time of year. Right around this time, I love to grab a nice hot peppermint latte at Starbucks, Nat King Cole’s “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” is playing softly in the background, and everyone is festive. Holiday time in Montreal is so beautiful. We have the snow which adds such a vivid dimension to holiday time. It’s cozy. In fact, I walked by Ogilvy’s with the boys last weekend (a department store in downtown Montreal), and they already have their Christmas window up!

When I got the opportunity to marry two amazing things that I love, Kleenex and Oprah, I was thrilled. In honor of Kleenex‘s softest and newest tissues yet Kleenex Cool Touch, Kleenex kicked off their Softness Worth Sharing Movement at The Oprah Winfrey, O You! Conference in Atlanta, last month. As an inspirational Top 10 Brand, the strategic move to launch Kleenex’s softest tissue ever, Kleenex Cool Touch, at an inspirational conference, using me, an inspirational blogger as the ambassador, proved to be fantastic.
