Risk Taking: Should You Dare?
We’re ringing in the new year at CRAVE with a question for all you women business owners out there… Do you dare? Is 2011 going to be a year of taking risks with your business, holding back, or a combination of both? To help you strategize, we are dedicating the month of January to the pros and cons of risk-taking across the board. Our business chat and blog entries will be brimming with juicy stories of risks gone right or wrong as well as advice from our CRAVE experts on when to know to take a leap of faith or to simply sit back and let life fall into place.
We knew this would be a hot topic when Melody wanted to know what her Facebook followers ask themselves before taking a risk and got SO many amazing responses. Check them out and prepare yourself for an exciting month of risks and rewards!
What do you ask yourself before you take a risk?
Just curious? before you take a risk? a leap to something new? start a new project? WHAT DO YOU ASK YOURSELF? do you write down the pros and cons? do you just do it and ask why later? how long do you ponder? do you end up jumping? or do nothing? tell me!!! what is your risk taking style?
 |
Suzette Sommer Oh… wow. What is a “risk?” That is one four-letter word that I have seemingly never known. |
 |
Sydney Chavez I ask myself what I would lose if I didn’t take the leap. |
 |
Nicole Francois before i take a risk i ask myself: why i am interested in taking the risk, what i hope to gain from it, what the result will be and who’s going to be with me? then, i outline my plan and jump! |
 |
Maria Ross Before I take a risk I ask myself if I will regret it more if I don’t take it than if I do. I weigh pros and cons, seek advice from those I trust….and then go with my gut! At a certain point, if it feels right, all the data in the world doesn’t matter. |
 |
Sonja Silver The first thing I ask is “what is the worst thing that can happen”? If I can live with the answer, I go for it. The biggest risk is to not take one! |
 |
Elise Kloter same here, Sonia…puts the scary stuff in perspective |
 |
Melody Biringer lovin all you risk takers….keep it coming! as i get older i seem to take risks slower and more cautious. i want to be naive again! |
 |
Lauren Bacon These days, more and more I check in with my gut. I highly recommend a little book called “Make Light Work” by Kate Sutherland that has helped me enormously with listening to my intuition. (It’s cool and non-flaky, I promise.) |
 |
Michelle Michael what’s the reward…? is it personal or financial? maybe a little of both. go for it, and surround yourself with those that support your dream! |
 |
Lyndi Thompson My first thought: Risks can often be re-labeled as adventures. I tend to dismiss risks that I don’t feel I have good access to supportive people around me. However, most of the time I can find at least two people. I try imagine best and worst case scenario, while always keeping in mind I know I make pretty good decisions and in the end things always end up OK. |
 |
Mary Boisselle I usually don’t ask any questions…I trust my intuition then I take a huge leap and bungie jump off the bridge or I don’t. There is a reason why opportunities come, so I can find the gem inside, whether it’s a pearl or a piece of glass. |
 |
Larisa Goldin I try to check in with my guidance. i believe that risks are just opportunities in disguise, the only question is whether they are part of the intended path or are a test (a distraction). So based on what I get back from my inner guidance (does it feel right?) I take the risk or not. |
 |
Rupa Wickrama Feelings of Anxiety = don’t take it. Feelings of Anticipation or Excitement = this warrants further exploration! |
|
Sydney Chavez I CRAVE Risk Taking. : ) |
 |
Traci Barnum Jump and figure everything else out later. Unless of course, you have a really smart husband who demands that you make a plan before you jump and break into your retirement fund for that risk. It’s a great balance. : ) |
 |
Carrie McIlveen Middlemiss It’s typically a gut feeling. I usually think it through and if it still feels right I go for it. Especially if it is something I’ll enjoy and it makes money. |
 |
Jennifer Saphier Whitman I have to step away from the decision for a few days. It always pops back into my head while I am doing other things during the day. If every time the idea pops up I get a sick feeling, I know it isn’t the right choice. If I get excited every time I think about it, it is a definite go! |
We hope these comments get you thinking about your own risk-tasking strategies for the year and that you’ll stay tuned to our blog over the next month and share your own daring deeds in the comments! And of course, have a Happy New Year from CRAVE!
Take Control of Your BlackBerry: Swirl Solutions
Today, the word “BlackBerry” doesn’t just conjure up images of mouth-watering pies and stained teeth, it also (and dominantly) makes people think of none other than the sleek, black smartphone. As one of the best smartphones out there, it’s no surprise that a BlackBerry can make your life a lot easier! Having said this, we have all encountered the moment after the initial awe of actually owning a BlackBerry wears off, and the confusion, and what I like to call the “What am I supposed to do now” syndrome sets in. Have no fear ladies! Darci Larocque, the founder and owner of Swirl Solutions, knows exactly what we and many other professionals are going through.
Having discovered that many BlackBerry users actually do not know how to maximize the use of their BlackBerrys, Darci went on to find Swirl Solutions, offering BlackBerry training workshops and providing clients with solutions they desperately want and need. We finally got the chance to chat with the fabulous owner herself and here’s the advice she has to give us BlackBerry users, or soon-to-be users out there!
What are some of the biggest misconceptions about a BlackBerry?
- That you can’t multitask on your BlackBerry. You can! You don’t have to hang up on people to go check your calendar.
- Lots of folks don’t realize that you can play music, watch videos and keep documents on your BlackBerry.
- That doing certain things are free. Nothing is FREE and Smartphone’s can be expensive, especially when you travel.
- BlackBerry doesn’t have applications. It sure does, in a recent article from BerryReview there are over 10,000 BlackBerry apps. From games to apps specific to your business. Check it out here.
- You can only have one email account. So not true! You can forward up to 10 other accounts to your device.
Top 5 Tips to using a BlackBerry more efficiently:
- How to automatically turn your BlackBerry Off and back on at a specific time.
- How to stop the black screen from coming on every 15 seconds.
- Make your BlackBerry inbox look like your Outlook inbox. You don’t have to see Phone call logs, Sent (checked) items and folders. Once hidden, there are fast ways to see them. Find out how here.
- Troubleshooting: Top 5 things to do when you have BlackBerry issues.
- How to delete multiple messages
What are the most common questions asked about the BlackBerry?
- Which BlackBerry model do I buy?
- My experience from years of asking questions at our workshops and conferences is that the preferable devices are the ones with a full keyboard, WiFi ability (to save you money) and the trackpad for more consistent and easier movement.
2. iPhone or BlackBerry?
- In my opinion, BlackBerry is a better email device as it encrypts and compresses the data. Data compression doesn’t mean much to people until they travel and the latest stats are that the iPhone uses 5 x more data. That can really add up when travelling internationally.
- iPhone has so many cool games and apps and I believe it is adopted more by the under 35 age group. Touch screen email typing isn’t the same as texting where you can use the short acronyms like c u l8r. You wouldn’t use that in a business email. I find many BlackBerry users switching because of the hype to iPhone and then switching back to their BlackBerrys.
One piece of advice you would give to brand new BlackBerry users:
- Call your Carriers before you travel to make sure you are on the right plan for where you are going and ask if your current plan is good for your the way you are using your device. Plans change ALL the time and what you signed up for 2 years ago may not be the best plan for you now.
Darci is also a regular on Get Connected TV! Watch an interview below:
Eco-Shic: Nicole Bridger
When it comes to clothes, she does it right. When it comes to the environment, she also does it right! Nicole Bridger is known in the fashion world as the pioneer of eco-friendly clothing. Using only organic materials, she creates a natural yet chic and beautiful line of clothing for women. The line started in the spring of 2007 with the philosophy of doing “what is good, what is right, for the earth, its people and spirit.” Nicole also promotes positivity by labeling every garment with “I am LOVE.” Ever since its creation, Nicole Bridger has been taking care of the fashionistas, as well as the earth and I can’t help but admit…I’m in LOVE! Represented by the fabulous Vanguard PR boutique firm, we had an opportunity to connect with Nicole!
What inspired you to create your own collection?
I don’t have my own boutique, but I knew I wanted to create my own line when I was 16. I had always sewn my own clothing but thought I was supposed to go into sciences like my parents. when I was 16, the father of my first love was a shoe designer. It was then that I realized that I could do what I love and make a career out of it. It took me the following 9 years to learn what I needed to make it happen and to piece together the vision of the company.
What are your best selling pieces?
Our knit dresses do very well for us. They are easy to wear, its just one piece add a few accessories and you’re done. They are very comfy but look feminine and are easy to wash. They can be worn at work, at the market or out for a casual dinner.
What makes your collection unique?
I would say the moral fibres of the company. We create eco clothing to help lessen our footprint and to take better care of the earth. We also promote positive energy by putting “I am Love” labels in every piece. We also ensure that everything is produced in an ethical manner. We are about creating a positive impact in this world.

All about the Brows: Bombay Brow Bar
It’s not just another beauty bar… it’s a BROW bar. Never heard of a brow before? It’s because Bombay Brow Bar is the first and the only in Vancouver. At Bombay Brow Bar, it is all about the brows and nothing else. We treat ourselves to mani’s and pedi’s but too often, we seem to forget about our brows…until they get too grown out and are in serious need of plucking and shaping – let’s face it, who has time to pluck them all the time? Thank goodness for Bombay Brow Bar who understands our laziness. Walk in and relax and in less than 20 minutes, you will walk out with the most perfect pair of eyebrows. So what’s the story behind this ingeniousness? Let’s find out!
What inspired you to open Bombay Brow Bar?
A over-zealous brow obsession, hatred for bad eyebrows and evil eyebrow doers, a desire to make people feel good about themselves, and my passion for everything and anything beauty and business
Since you are located in Yaletown, you work with other women owned businesses. How does collaborating with one another benefit your business?  What advice do you have for other business owners regarding collaboration?
I totally believe that collaboration is the key to success! By supporting and promoting one another, we`ve been able to share and grow our businesses. Not only do our clients find it super cool that we work together, but it’s great to be able to work with a neighbourhood team that supports you! Collaborating also allows us to share marketing ideas and promotions, as well as lessons learned.  Thank goodness for that!
Advice for other business owners would be look for strategic collaborations instead of being a lone wolf. Not only does it helps to build your reputation, and your customer base, but it also helps to develop your business/personal network. I heart our Yaletown beauty team!
What do you love most about opening your own business?
Everything! I love being a boss, a BBB team member, a brow promoter, and a brow-builder. I love making our browtemptresses (aka clients) look and feel beautiful. We`re building a super-obsessed brow community!! It’s also great to be working with my sister Amy Minhas, co-founder of BBB and sister-in-law Reena Mehroke, General Brow Manager.
How does social media impacted your business?
Social media has been awesome for our business! It lets us connect directly with our brow temptresses to show them how much we care about them and their brows! For example, we love hearing from our clients, chatting with them, giving them brow advice, and sharing quirky things with them.
Feature with Candeo Weddings!
Latin for “shine, gleam, glow, sparkle” Candeo (can-DAY-oh)  is manifested by the minds of Ashley Burnstad and Dawn Barrett. The ladies of Candeo Weddings help couples to craft their romantic visions into reality. And whether you have been planning your wedding since you were seven, or you’re completely and utterly overwhelmed by the idea of planning such a momentous event, Candeo is sincerely in-tune with your needs. What makes Candeo Weddings unique is the pairs’ ability to create a CUSTOM wedding tailored specifically to you. Ashley and Dawn’s intentions are precisely outlined in their mission statement – “let us work on the details, while you work on creating the memories.” We caught up with these multi-tasking mavens to learn how and why they do what they do! Â
What was the inspiration or motivation behind starting your business?Â
We have both been intrigued by and committed to wedding planning because it piqued our interest as something that is based equally on design and creativity as it is on organization and attention to detail. As we began to collaborate with one-another as business partners, we quickly realized that we had the same ambitions and goals. We began by brainstorming our idea of a perfect wedding planning company, and Candeo was born! We wanted it to be centred on what we would look for as brides: fresh ideas, stunning execution and highly-personalized service.
What do you love most about your job and why?
Honestly, the romance of it all. The ability to bring to life everything that a couple envisions for the wedding day is more rewarding than we ever imagined. Our job is to share the most special moments of someone’s life – we think that’s pretty amazing.
What do you CRAVE?
To be the number one boutique wedding planning company in Vancouver, based solely on personal experiences by our clients and word of mouth. To make every wedding that we are a part of perfectly memorable and fabulous. And chocolate.

Classy and Fabulous: Meet piastyle
Besides being a high level personal stylist, Pia Jacobsen can now add author to her list of accomplishments. Pia’s style is classic and chic, and she helps her clients create a coordinated wardrobe that reflects their personal tastes with a refined touch. Her new book “pia…me” is Pia’s answer to some of the “questionable choices” made by women she has seen, and is aimed at helping women to develop their own personal style. At CRAVE we respect any woman who isn’t afraid to call it like shes sees it. Read our interview with Pia for an inside fashion scoop. Click here to find Pia’s book!
What are your wardrobe staples?
I’m pretty classic, personally. I have a uniform that is primarily black in the winter, white in the summer. It’s calming to me.
What do you think is the worst fashion trend right now?
I don’t know if it is so much a trend as a mistake. Bra straps, particularly the industrial strength ones are not meant to be seen. Check the rear view, choose the right kind of bra, or have lingerie straps sewn into your clothes. This trend is like a recurring nightmare.
Trends are best when they become ….
Not trendy. When a trend lasts more than a season or two, and becomes part of the fashion vernacular, it means it works, or at least appeals to a lot of women. I don’t believe in investing a lot of money in a trendy item. However, when it has proven itself after a season or two, and it works for you, buy the best quality you can afford.
What is an easy piece of style advice you wish more women would follow?
After you are completely dressed and accessorized, look in the mirror and take one thing off. A little goes a long way.
What was the hardest part about writing your book?
Letting it go.
What do you want your readers to get out of reading “pia….me”?
I want my readers to understand that while it is important to care about how you look, and to put your best foot forward, it is just a means to becoming all you can be. It is infinitely more important to learn to like yourself, to live with confidence, to establish boundaries, to live your dreams and to become self sufficient. As I say in my lectures, “walk the goddess walk”.
As a fashion stylist, how do you separate your personal taste when you are dressing a client?
That is relatively easy, actually. I know my personal taste, and am very confident about it, so I am not swayed easily by trends or other influences. But because I love fashion, I can appreciate a wide variety of looks even though they may not work for me personally. I pay close attention to what my client loves in her existing wardrobe, and what her needs are in terms of travel, events, and lifestyle. Fashion, like art, should conjure up an emotional response. Her clothing should make her feel fabulous, and serve to enhance her experiences. That’s my job.
If you weren’t working in the fashion world you would be_______?
A floral designer. Hopefully, a very avant-garde floral designer living in Paris, or possibly a landscape designer on Capri.
What do you CRAVE?
Nothing material at this point in my life. I CRAVE love, friendship, honesty, Fran’s sea salt caramels, and my body at age 19.

Snag the Perfect Travel Snacks
Summer is finally here which means many people are planning their summer getaway. So after packing the bathing suit and sunscreen, what’s next to go into your bag? That’s right, must have travel foods! Read on for some insight from our wellness guru Jamie Dougherty.
Of course, fantastic food awaits you upon arrival. However, it is not always fun to trust the culinary “delights” along the way. Airplane and airport food? No, thanks! To make sure you don’t get hungry before reaching your final destination, it is important to pack a reusable grocery bag full of edibles that will keep well for at least 24 hours without refrigeration.
Here are the best travel friendly foods that will withstand up to 30 hours of travel. They are all delicious, nutritious, and easy to pack.
1. Dried fruit and nuts- Favorites are peaches, apricots, cherries, dates, prunes, walnuts, almonds, and pecans. Just make sure they are organic and sulfur-free.
2. Fresh fruit with hard cheese- Apples and oranges work best.
3. Roasted garbanzo beans- Rinse and drain 2 cans of garbanzos. Mix with olive oil and salt and roast at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes. They are yummy and a great protein source.
4. Tamari sunflower and pumpkin seeds- A perfect snack when you want something fatty and salty. Click here for a yummy, crunchy recipe.
5. Honey tea cookies- Make a whole batch of these and grab one every time you need something sweet. Click here to find out how to make yummy cookies.
6. Cut veggies- Celery, radishes, carrots, and sugar snap peas work well. They also help keep you hydrated on the dry plane.
7. Your favorite chocolate bar- What can I say? Never travel without chocolate. My favorite is the Alter-Eco BlackOut bar. YUM!
8. Crackers- These will keep you way from the baggies of pretzels. The best brands are Ryvita, Dr. Kracker, and Mary’s Gone Crackers.
So this summer, whether you are traveling long distances or just doing a few day trips, be sure to pack these snacks for the journey. I promise they will keep you energized, full, and away from all the junk along the way.

What do you love most about your job and why?
We LOVE the flexibility of managing our own hours and being our own boss.  We also love working with a group of girls that we hand picked.  It’s been great…everyone has fun and laughs and works hard at the same time!
Getting women red carper ready is also a great feeling.  Watching a woman’s confidence go up in a matter of minutes with a simple blo out is the best thing that we have experienced so far.
We also love what we do because we come from completely different, and serious, professional backgrounds (healthcare and federal government) so getting involved with Blo has been such a fun, exciting and completely opposite of what we are used to doing professionally. We keep thinking that we are supposed to be stressed out and worried like new business owners should be but so far we have been fortunate.  We have had such strong and endless support from Blo Corporate Office and our friends and family. It’s made us LOVE our job even more!
Do you have any recommendations for business reads for women in business?
We are always on the look out for inspiring ideas and lessons on managing our team and business. We are new to owning a business so basically anything we can get our hands on we will read and learn from.
What do you CRAVE?
We definitely CRAVE chocolate everyday! Thank god we are on our feet everyday because we can work those calories off! The sun, sand and beach are obvious favorites too…hopefully we can get away sometime this year and get our Vitamin D dose!
Any advice for future entreprenesses?
Starting a business can be scary and you may not know what direction to go in. Step One: ask a million questions! Look in your network of friends and family who have been successful (professionally and personally) and talk to them about your goals and how you plan to get there.  Get their feedback and really listen to what they have to offer.  They’re firsthand knowledge and lessons learned are invaluable. Last but not least is to follow your gut.  We strongly believe women have that special instincts, so if you have a really strong feeling something is going to be successful, go for it, work hard and things will fall into place!
xo, Jenny & Karen
