An Evening with Barb Stegemann @The7Virtues
It is always exciting when home grown (Canadian) talent makes it big! Barb wrote a book called the 7 Virtues on a healing journey after tragedy struck her best friend and the perfume is the product that came to fruition from this journey. The essential oils are sourced from plants from countries like Haiti and Afghanistan that are rebuilding after natural disasters or after war. Some of the ingredients include Vetiver from Haiti, Lime and Basil from Iran, Orange Blossom and Rose from Afghanistan.
@Scottish_Kate and I at the NYC Canada Consulate Last night, fragrance entrepreneur Barb Stegemann hosted a bevy of talented Canadians at 550 Park Ave to introduce her line the 7 Virtues.
Fragrances made with essential oils that rebuild communities
Barb Stegemann, CBC Dragons’ Den Winner, was introduced to me by a mutual friend and her zest for life and passion for her business is admirable! Within 2 years, the 7 Virtues have made it to TOP 5 on the Chatelaine Beauty 100 Award and is carried in Lord & Taylor and the Bay. These fragrances are Paraben free – Phthalate free. The perfumes are $70 and up.

Music eh! Birthday Boys
They are known as Ontario’s best kept secret and they will be taking their “enraging and visceral” live performance on the road (alongside Detroit’s Electric Six) this March. The Birthday Boys are also releasing the Tin Head EP, which is said to be a feast for the ears. The EP features some of the band’s most lively recordings to date, with songs like “Daughters Man” which you just can’t help but sing along too.
The band will also be filming a 10 webisode rockumentary for TruthExplosion.com during their Western Canadian tour; filming one webisode a day. The last time the Birthday Boys were on tour, they recorded 30 songs in 30 days! This year the rockumentary will be based on the band’s various adventures while they’re on the road, and just so you can see what the guys are up to; the webisodes will be available for your viewing pleasure on TruthExplosion.com
