Women and our money

Women are the pivotal transforming agents in our society. Women have to have a voice; otherwise the cycle of poverty just keeps growing.
I always find myself saying " I am a creative person and dont have the patience to deal with money". I realised this thinking must change, for in order to become who we are meant to be, we must take charge of our financial lives.
Take this journey with me and if you have a few tips, please share...

Canadian Fashion Business- Myth or Reality


In the dog eat dog world of fashion, Is Canada really a factor??? Is Canada being left behind? You decide.

For the first time, Canadian apparel suppliers and retailers will have access to a cost efficient means to secure information/feedback directly from consumers. The information is a result of a new interviewing service to be launched by the Apparel Development Centre and Trendex North America on January 3, 2008.

The service, to be called Canadian Consumer Apparel Insights will be based on online interviews conducted twice a year by Trendex North America with a nationally representative sample of 2,000 Canadian adults.


Randy Harris, President of Trendex North America noted, “just looking at the last few months, with the increase in cross-border shopping, it is essential that both retailers and suppliers understand Canadian consumer shopping patterns.”

“For too long, Canadian apparel suppliers and retailers have wanted to talk with consumers about their brand perceptions and shopping patters for their products, but were unable to do so for cost reasons,” said Elliot Lifson, President of Canadian Apparel Federation. “This new service couldn’t have come along at a better time. It offers companies a highly affordable, effective and timely mechanism for obtaining this valuable information.”
