Day Five Giveaway: Soothing Scandinave Spa

The holiday season is full of hustle and bustle.  From shopping for last-minute gifts, to rushing from party to party - it's easy to forget to take a moment for yourself and enjoy the season.

The Belles absolutely loved their day in Whistler at the Scandinave Spa.  The hydrotherapy worked a treat for us!  More recently, Sarah took her husband after writing a stressful exam and was amazed to watch the waters literally wash his stress away.

Sound incredible?  It is!  The Scandinave Spa is a perfect hideaway tucked in the Whistler & Blackcomb mountains.  There are hot baths, cold plunges, a eucalyptus steam room, a Finnish sauna and relaxation rooms galore!  We can't stress enough how beautiful and calming this unique spa is.  And now you can go!

Today's giveaway from Scandinave Spa is a bath pass for two people (valid Monday to Friday)!  You can head up to the mountains for a day trip with your significant other or best friend and watch your worries melt away.



It's a $116 value and here's how you can win:

Day Four Giveaway: FAB.U.LOUS at DuJour Boutique

It happens to all of us:  you get an invite for a fabulous party or wedding and RSVP 'yes' without hesitation.  Then panic strikes:  WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?

We don't know about you, but us Belles both have a closet full of dresses that we've only worn once.  We spent the money, telling ourselves we'd wear it again - but have we?

What if there was a place that you could get a designer dress at the fraction of the cost and it would be totally fine that you only wore it once because you rented it?  Well there is!

DuJour Boutique is a Vancouver boutique that offers rental, yes rentals of FABULOUS gowns at a fraction of the price of buying a dress.  Ranging from $80 and up, you can pick out a dress, wear it to an event (you have it for three days - so you could have three events!) and return it.  Dujour's takes care of the cleaning bill so it's a truly hassle-free way to be fabulous and fashionable.

Sarah and Aubrey are wearing DuJour gowns

No more guilty glances at the closet and nightmares of credit card bills.

Today's giveaway?  A FREE dress rental!!!!  Absolutely perfect for a night on the town, a weekend wedding, or a fancy holiday dress party.

Day Three Giveaway: Bella Bella Bella Gelateria!

If you know the Belles, you know they love bella Italia!  From Sarah's Tuscan wedding, to eating bowls of bolognese, to the sweetest Italian treat of them all:  GELATO!

Enter Bella Gelateria - Vancouver's answer to the best gelato this side of the Atlantic.  Situated at Burrard & Cordova, it happens to be right next door to the Shaw Tower where Sarah and Aubrey work.  It's very hard to resist a daily visit to the gelateria where all the flavors are made  daily using fresh ingredients from the Lower Mainland and a couple imports from the Amalfi Coast!




As you can see in this segment, it's easy to have a gelato-gasm!  And now, it's your chance to indulge in a sweet treat born out of Italy but bred in Vancouver.

Today's giveaway:  A custom gelato cake (think ice-cream cake but BETTER) perfect for your holiday parties, a bridal shower, or a night in with the girls!  On top of that, Bella Gelateria will give you a $25 gift certificate so you can eat 5 ice cream cones or take home gelato for your whole family or a great date night!
