5 years of Heartbreak, 5 Things I've learned

Posted by Pamela Wheaton on

Incredibly, it has been 5 years to the day that I open the doors to Heartbreak Boutique. We say it all the time, in a dozen different cliches, but time is one slippery fish! You think you have a firm hold on it and then swish! down the stream it goes.  But I'll spare you my philosophizing on the elusiveness of time. I thought today I would impart a little wisdom, what little wisdom I have, on you by sharing 5 things I've learned in the 5 years I've been in business.  In not particular order... 1.

Code Red

Posted by Pamela Wheaton on

Some of you may have seen this video where homeless women are asked about having their period on the street. And if you were like me, it hit a cord, because admittedly, I hadn't considered this before. And as a women that made me pretty ashamed.  Remember being in school and having your period start? It was embarrassing, it was uncomfortable and it was an emergency! So consider having to deal with that monthly, only you can't run to your locker or to the school nurse. Humiliating, demoralizing, panic-inducing are a few words that come to my mind.  Stay with me, I'll...

Uncorked Tours is such a little gem in our city! It has something to offer tourists, certainly, but also such a fun way for locals to get familiarized with their beautiful province - by touring wineries!

#LocalBizLove Scheherazade Books & Music

Posted by Pamela Wheaton on

Ever since moving back to Saint John in 2009 Sheherazade Books & Music was one of those little uptown gems that I loved to visit on the regular. It's warm and inviting and Teresa has such a fantastic selection of books that sometimes I get a little overwhelmed (in the best possible way!)  I was so pleased that Teresa agreed to be part of these blog series because I knew she would a) look fantastic in some of our dresses and b) would be a great interviewee, and you know what? I was right! 1. Tell me a little about...

#LocalBizLove Featuring Dioné Cosmetics

Posted by Pamela Wheaton on

Alisha Anderson is a powerhouse. No question. A Powerhouse with pink hair, and it doesn't get any more awesome then that! I don't know anyone who has the kind of hustle she has. Starting up your own business is a challenge - launching your own make up company (in the Maritimes no less!) makes that seems like a breeze, but she owns her brand, she has put love, sweat, and her booty into it and has grown Dioné into a thriving. wonderful business!  We started our businesses around the same time, but I definitely look to her for motivation and...
