Vancouver Event: 4Cats Mug of the Season Workshop

Last year I bought in the Entertainment Book and knowing that it would expire at the end of December, I explored it to see what else I could use before the land of Entertainment book coupons ended. 

That's when I discovered the 4Cats Workshops at Capitol Hill in Burnaby.  It is close to SFU and when I saw the Polar Bear Mug was the mug of the season, I invited a girlfriend who invited more girlfriends and then there were four of us going to the Polar Bear Mug workshop at 4Cats.  I was even able to find another coupon to use.  

This was a fun Friday night that flew by quickly because adults are perfectionists and it takes us longer to follow instructions and make our mugs.  That's what I think.  When we first arrived we all sat around a large table and the 4Cats teacher gave us name tags and the clay supplies.  Then she went through each step and the class followed.  I have to admit that everything was going well until it was time to add the mug handle.  It was hard, and then my clay started cracking and I had a lopsided handle that fell apart.  In the end I asked the teacher to do it for me.  Yes, I'm not afraid to ask for help.  Thankfully she did so I had enough time to paint my mug before the class was done.  

Now my Polar bear mug is curing so I'm not sure what the final results will look like.  If you are looking for an event for your girlfriends, then check out Capitol Hill and the adult workshops.  I know that kids love 4Cats but I never knew it could be fun for adults too.  

Fitness Friday: Super Sister 30 Day January Challenge

Hello Vancity Girlfriends,

It's Fitness Friday and I wanted to let you know about a 30 Day Fitness Challenge that I'll be trying out with the Super Sister Fitness.  They have YouTube daily workouts.  I first tried to do a 30 Day Fitness Challenge with Super Sisters in October for their Lean Halloween Challenge.  My friend asked me to try it out with her so I did and we motivated each other to do the daily workouts.  Truth be told, I only lasted 4 days.  I know that's pretty sad.  

So when I saw that they had a January 30 Day Fitness Challenge, I was up for the challenge.  Come on, my goal last time was 4 days so that shouldn't be too hard to beat.  Plus all of their workouts and challenges are free.  There's a calendar for the January Challenge that you can print out and follow along.  Then everyday they will email you the workout.  Of course you can join the other Super Sister Fitness participants on the Facebook group for the January Challenge.  

Yesterday was New Year's Day and they were nice to us!  All I had to do was watch a Form Video on how to do some of the exercises properly like squats and the plank.  Today is the big day where we have to do our first workout routine.  The workouts are short with doing each exercise for 1 minute and then changing to the next exercise for 1 minute and so on.  The total workout time can be completed in 20-30 minutes with running shoes and a mat at home.  

Come back again next week on Fitness Friday for an update on my 30 Day Fitness Challenge.  Thanks for reading!
