			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/index.html" target="_blank">Parallel Yoga</a>, located in Abbotsford&#8217;s <a href="http://parallelmarketplace.com/" target="_blank">Parallel Marketplace</a>, is the type of business that makes our heart sing. It, like most wonderful ideas, was conceived out of frustration and need. While that doesn&#8217;t necessarily sound like a good thing, these businesses tend to be very successful as they fill a void for something that was simply unavailable before.</p>
<p>Kara Coleman discovered yoga ten years ago while pregnant with her first child. For her, it was a chance to connect with her baby as well as with other new Moms. As time went on and more children joined her family, yoga became an escape, a time to unwind and focus on herself. A couple of years ago, Kara was driving up to 30 minutes from home in order to find the type of yoga classes she wanted to participate in. With a prompt from her husband, Kara decided it was time to bring the type of inclusive yoga environment and variety of classes she enjoyed to Abbotsford. In just 9 months she found the space, dreamt and designed the studio from scratch and opened the doors to Parallel Yoga in October 2011!<span id="more-10236"></span></p>

<p>With 42 classes on the schedule each week, Parallel Yoga is a busy Abbotsford yoga studio! Almost 20 types of <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html" target="_blank">yoga classes</a> are offered, including <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=45693" target="_blank">Candlelight Restorative</a>, <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=44004" target="_blank">Fusion Yoga/Pilates</a>, <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=44440" target="_blank">Gentle Flow</a>, <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=70541" target="_blank">Power Hot</a> and <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=66249" target="_blank">Yoga for Kids</a> or <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=66250" target="_blank">Tweens</a>. And to add a little extra spice to their schedule, Parallel Yoga also offers a fun <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=60973" target="_blank">Zumba</a> class! This spacious studio fits a maximum of 24 people, so there is lots of space to practice your best <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadasana" target="_blank">Tadasana</a>. New to yoga?

<p>Gents &#8211; you are invited to all classes, of course, but Parallel Yoga has something special just for you. <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/classes.html?class_id=57218" target="_blank">&#8216;Bro&#8217;ga</a> is a men-only yoga class offering a chance for you and your fellow bros to compliment your regular exercise routine and loosen up areas that are often tight in men.</p>

<p>Kara&#8217;s &#8216;inclusive yoga environment&#8217; philosophy is apparent when you visit Parallel Yoga. It&#8217;s a bright, warm and cheerful environment where people of all shapes, sizes and skill levels are made to feel comfortable. There is a quaint, comfortable waiting area outside the studio where students gather to chat pre-class or to enjoy a quiet moment and a cup of tea afterwards.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Looking to update your workout wardrobe? You&#8217;ll find a great selection of <a href="http://www.parallelyoga.ca/retail.html" target="_blank">yoga apparel and accessories</a> here, including the popular Vancouver brands <a href="http://www.mytonic.ca/" target="_blank">Tonic Lifestyle Apparel</a> and <a href="http://www.karmawear.com/" target="_blank">Karma Athletics</a>. Yoga mats, bags, bolsters and accessories are also available.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Recently Parallel Yoga was nominated for a Fraser Valley Cultural Diversity Award through Abbotsford Community Services, on account of them being such an inclusive, welcoming environment. Kara set out to create a community of diverse local yoga lovers and, in a very short time, has succeeded in doing so.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Parallel Yoga would fit right into the middle of any big city, with its urban feel and amenities. However, the friendly Fraser Valley charm is captured here as well, making this a fabulous place for all to begin, restart or continue their yoga practice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Congratulations to our two winners! This contest is now closed.</strong></p>
<p>As a kid, the thought of having your own toy store meant freedom to play with any and every toy you could imagine, all day long.  That dream, in the mind of just about any kid, would be pure bliss.  Imagine the fun and thrill of having every toy you could ever want, within reach, at any given time.  While there may only be a few of us who turned that dream into reality, Matthew Purdy, the Owner of Toy Traders in Langley, is one of them.</p>
<p>This Yukon born man moved to BC to attend high school in Abbotsford and has been in business in Langley since 1995.  What started mainly as a toy trading business has now evolved into BC’s largest independent toy store.  As a former toy collector himself, Matthew is a great example of someone who enjoys what he does and who turned his passion for toys into a successful business.<span id="more-9854"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Toy Traders IMG_6668" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6475076269/"><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7173/6475076269_603f084ed4.jpg" alt="Toy Traders IMG_6668" /></a></p>
<p>The store is composed of three major elements and caters to a wide range of customer, from the wide-eyed little ones who go crazy with excitement to the not-so-little ones who still delight in nostalgic toys and collectible items.  Regardless of which one you are, it’s a magical place to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Toy Traders IMG_6694" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6475102699/"><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7023/6475102699_e48e842430.jpg" alt="Toy Traders IMG_6694" /></a></p>
<p>The first element of the store is it’s Trade Centre, which accepts toys and collectibles from customers.  Your trade-ins are valuated while you wait. The staff in the Trade Centre are knowledgeable on the current toy markets as well as recalls issued and will give you a fair value based on the toy’s condition and re-sell value.  Any amounts you earn for the trade-in is provided to you in Trader Bucks, which never expire and are tax-free.  They can be used on any item in the store, new or used (used items will have a green price sticker on them).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Toy Traders IMG_6702" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6475091013/"><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7020/6475091013_ac4739bb16.jpg" alt="Toy Traders IMG_6702" /></a></p>
<p>The second element of the store is its brand new toy section, which comprises 80% of the store.  Toy Traders carries brands such as Lego and Playmobil, Melissa &amp; Doug and Calico Critters, and many, many more.  They also carry the entire line of Schleich’s hand-painted animals and Smurfs and boasts popular items such as Angry Birds and Vamplets.</p>
<p>The last element of the store is for the collectors.  Collectible items, from new to nostalgic, are widespread from GI Joe to Transformers, DC and Marvel Comics, as well as movie collectibles for Star Wars, Terminator and more.  If you’re a collector and you haven’t been to Toy Traders yet, you are missing out!  They are Canada’s largest collectible store.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Toy Traders IMG_6682" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6475094741/"><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7008/6475094741_c2ce6930aa.jpg" alt="Toy Traders IMG_6682" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Toy Traders IMG_6688" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6475084755/"><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7011/6475084755_717494bf6b.jpg" alt="Toy Traders IMG_6688" /></a></p>
<p>If the toy selection isn’t enough to intrigue you, you will be blown away by the displays in and around the store.  These dioramas (or models representing a scene with 3-D characters) are detailed, full scale and intensely creative. From life size figures to re-enacted scenes from popular cartoons and movies, you’ll need to take your time to take it all in.  And guess who’s responsible for these?  Not a movie production crew.  Matthew and his staff.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Toy Traders IMG_6692" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6475098321/"><img src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7171/6475098321_c9497ca7df.jpg" alt="Toy Traders IMG_6692" /></a></p>
<p>Toy Traders does their “leg work” in checking other flyer and sale prices, and displays comparative pricing on their shelves.  They have weekly specials and new items coming in often, which you can learn of through their newsletter.  Their well-informed staff take pride in their work, are great with kids and look forward to making your visit an enjoyable one.  Just prepare yourself.  When you walk in, someone will go bananas with delight, and it might not be your kids.</p>
<p><em><strong>Toy Traders is gifting two of our readers $50 Trader Bucks each! Please leave a note below to be entered to win. Winners will be chosen at random on December 16, 2011. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>For an extra chance to win, please post the following on Twitter: &#8220;I entered to win $50 to @toytraders from @FVPulse &#8211; you should enter, too! http://ow.ly/7W8MZ&#8221;</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like the song goes, it&#8217;s the most wonderful time of the year, and a great way to spend your time (and some money!) is at Glenda&#8217;s Christmas Cottage. Glenda&#8217;s is an amazing Christmas store that opens up every year in November and December. If you&#8217;re looking for anything Christmas related—from candles to tree ornaments to a Christmas village—you&#8217;ll probably find it at Glenda&#8217;s. Honestly, we could spend hours at the store and still not see everything she has available.</p>
<p>Owner Glenda Cox opened Glenda&#8217;s Christmas Cottage 22 years ago at her husband&#8217;s suggestion. She had so many Christmas decorations he told her she should open a store at Christmas. Glenda says she didn&#8217;t think the store would survive and spent the first year operating out of one room while spending most of her time outside. After a few years, the store was expanded. Now, the cottage takes up an entire shed in the yard and Glenda has seven workers helping her manage the store. Even her granddaughters help out.<img title="More..." src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><span id="more-9803"></span></p>
<p><a title="DSC_0619" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6439192965/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7157/6439192965_d349552aa4.jpg" alt="DSC_0619" /></a></p>
<p>So how does she choose what she sells? Glenda goes to a variety of trade shows, including in Seattle and Toronto, and chooses items she thinks people will like. In her travels during the rest of the year, she looks for unique items to sell.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t sell crafts, that&#8217;s about the only thing I don&#8217;t sell,&#8221; Glenda says. &#8220;There are so many craft fairs out here that people can sell at. So I stay away from those. I also don&#8217;t sell wrapping paper. But I sell just about everything else that&#8217;s about Christmas.&#8221; That includes ornaments, gifts, decorations, gourmet foods, candles, potpourri, keepsakes, snowmen, Department 56 Dickens&#8217; Village series, Byers&#8217; Choice handcrafted carolers, jewelry, and dancing Santa hats.</p>
<p><a title="DSC_0613" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6439172949/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7163/6439172949_9b769a30f8.jpg" alt="DSC_0613" /></a></p>
<p>Speaking of ornaments, Glenda&#8217;s carries virtually every type of ornament available, from ornaments for animal lovers to sports fanatics, and from purse and shoe designs to nutcrackers.  She also carries the traditional ornamental balls in a variety of colours and designs. You can even top off your tree with one of the many different angels she carries. There&#8217;s also no shortage of reindeer or Santa decorations.</p>
<p><a title="DSC_0606" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6439166401/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7007/6439166401_2075271a63.jpg" alt="DSC_0606" /></a></p>

<p>In addition to the cottage, Glenda&#8217;s yard is decorated for Christmas, including hundreds of Christmas lights, carefully put out by Glenda&#8217;s elves. Just driving up to the cottage will put you in a cheerful, Christmas mood. The lights are turned on daily at 4:00 pm.</p>
<p>Every year, Glenda&#8217;s Christmas Cottage holds a cookie decorating day, where around 400 children come to the store and decorate Christmas cookies with Mrs. Claus and Santa. This year, approximately $400 was raised at the event and donated to the local food bank. Glenda&#8217;s also helped decorate the LIFE Recovery house.</p>
<p><a title="DSC_0612" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6439186137/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7156/6439186137_8b175b3267.jpg" alt="DSC_0612" /></a></p>
<p>Glenda&#8217;s Christmas Cottage is open from November 1 through December 23 yearly. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday 12-5.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is intensely busy.  So much so that the stuff and the “to do” list sometimes overrides the basic need to take care of ourselves.  Often, we are the last ones to get a much needed break.  And when you finally take that break, it feels so good that you wonder why you left it for so long.  For women, especially, this often rings true.  Although relaxation may equate coffee with friends for one person and an hour of exercise for another, many people can appreciate the effects of a little physical pampering.</p>
<p>An idea and desire to provide a body, mind and soul experience in the comfort of your own home is how Pamper Your Soul evolved into a business over seven years ago.  This business was started by two women: Maggie, an Aesthetician and Michelle, a Massage Practitioner who met over coffee through a mutual friend.  Since that day, they have grown their idea into a successful service that meets the pampering needs of both personal and corporate clients.<span id="more-9619"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/PYS.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="PYS" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/PYS.jpg" alt="" width="544" height="407" /></a></p>
<p>Pamper Your Soul offers in-home spa treatments that include pedicures, manicures, back facials and massages.  From weddings to birthdays to “just because” girl time, these parties offer a home experience that could not get any closer to home.  Providing you have the space, they will set up their massage table and/or manicure and pedicure stations around your house and can manage up to 8 people per booking.  Spa treatments plus the freedom to eat, drink and socialize at your leisure in your own home?  Delightful!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/val.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9709" title="val" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/val.jpg" alt="" width="576" height="432" /></a></p>
<p>Home spa parties are just the beginning for this company.  Pamper Your Soul has greatly expanded their business to service corporate clients who offer chair massage and reflexology treatments for their employees.  From ten, fifteen, or twenty minute chair massages for the upper back, shoulders and neck to reflexology treatments on the feet that target stress-relieving pressure points, Pamper Your Soul provides all the equipment needed to create a “Wellness in the Workplace” environment at your company.  For employees that participate, these mini sessions not only help to relieve stress, but result in rejuvenation and better performance on the job.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Pamper-Your-Soul-mobile-massage-Vancouver.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9711" title="Pamper Your Soul mobile massage Vancouver" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Pamper-Your-Soul-mobile-massage-Vancouver.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Pamper-Your-Soul-reflexology.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9712" title="Pamper Your Soul reflexology" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Pamper-Your-Soul-reflexology.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ladies at Pamper Your Soul are keen to work with companies to create a customized experience for their employees.  Whether you want weekly or monthly visits or have 12 employees or 200, they can modify their schedules and work within your budget to accommodate your specific needs.  They also have a referral program for businesses to earn rewards.</p>
<p>Most importantly, Michelle and Maggie want to build a relationship with and create a great experience for their customers, leaving them in a blissful, pampered state of mind.  We could definitely handle that.  How about you?</p>
<p><strong>Our readers are invited to enter to win a 3 hour &#8220;Wellness in the Workplace&#8221; package, with a total value of $210. Individuals can enter to win chair massages/reflexology treatments for themselves and their co-workers and PYS will work to customize the package/schedule for the group/company that wins! </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Our Pulse Spotlights aren’t always about discovering <em>hidden</em> gems in the Fraser Valley, they’re about sharing well-loved businesses too! In a world of big box movie cinemas, we were so excited when we learned that the beloved Cottonwood 4 Cinema’s in Chilliwack is, and always has been, a family run business.</p>
<p>Since they first opened the doors in 1995, Cottonwood 4 Cinemas has always been a great destination. In addition to being a huge part of many first date memories, this cinema is also known as the local spot for affordable family fun! <span id="more-9656"></span>With affordable admission prices,$6 for adults and $5 for children, you really can take the whole gang without breaking the bank!</p>
<p><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6336477484/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/6336477484_5114d81131.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" /></a></p>
<p>Mother and daughter team Cathy Rayner and Pauline Lamb purchased the theatre from the original owners 3 years ago. Since Cathy had been their bookkeeper for a number of years before the cinema was put up for sale, she jumped at the opportunity to keep it a family business. It didn’t take long before she convinced her mom Pauline to join in on the adventure, and the two now divide up the management tasks between them.</p>
<p><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6335719341/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6225/6335719341_553d0da046.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" /></a></p>
<p>Intent on keeping much of the original feel of the theatre, no drastic renovations were completed during the recent upgrades, with the exception of the new 3D screen addition! Even the smaller renovations that were done (touch of paint here, change of decorations there) were all done with the kind of love only a family business brings. Many of the decorations for movies and for holidays are designed by Cathy and Pauline, who source local supplies as much as they can. Even the velvet ropes leading up to the concession stand were re-covered by Pauline’s mother!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6336474348/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6101/6336474348_05b516c35e.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" /></a></p>
<p>The family feel here doesn’t end with those who are actually related either – it extends to their employee team as well. Many team players here are trained in several different areas to help make the customer experience better. Don’t be too surprised if you find the projectionist popping behind the concession counter to lend a helping hand! Even with this great team, Pauline still loves working the admission booth and interacting with the people coming into her theatre. With 500 seats in the building, she loves getting to get to know all the different guests coming into a see a movie, if only for a few minutes!</p>
<p>Weekly specials at this Chilliwack movie theatre make movie nights even more affordable. On Tuesdays, all admissions are only $3.50 ($6.50 if 3D) and visiting on a Wednesday night will get you free popcorn for every regular priced admission! Worried about not getting to see the new releases? Just be patient. Cottonwood 4 Cinemas does get all the same movies as the bigger theatre chains, it might just take a few extra weeks. And in this economy, we think this is a small price to pay for affordability!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6336478174/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6046/6336478174_6e5c28e48b.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6335718323/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6107/6335718323_66a8d395bc.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" /></a></p>
<p>Another advantage of supporting local community theatres means more variety in weekly movie showings. On now is Cottonwood 4’s <a href="http://www.cottonwood4cinemas.ca/artsfilms.htm" target="_blank">Art Film Series</a>, which showcases a new independent art film every week until mid-December (2011). Art Film showings will take place every Sunday and Monday, and everyone is welcome.</p>
<p><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" style="text-align: left;" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6336478488/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6105/6336478488_cd665c6616.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight: Cottonwood 4 Cinemas" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thankful for their community, Cathy and Pauline are always looking for ways to give back. Each holiday season they offer concession discounts to guests that bring in a canned good for their food drive, and donation cups can always be found near the admission booths.</p>
<p><em><strong>Cathy and Pauline would love to welcome one of our readers and three of their friends to Cottonwood 4 Cinemas! Please leave a note below to be entered to win a 4 pack of admission tickets. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Winner will be chosen at random on November 25, 2011.</strong></em></p>
<p>Update: Congratulations to our winner, Taylor. Have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know this week&#8217;s Pulse Spotlight may not instantly appeal to the masses, but to those who live with Celiac disease or have family members with gluten intolerance, we know you will be thrilled to learn of the brand new Zena&#8217;s Gluten Free Bakery in Maple Ridge! For those who just love delicious treats, read on. Zena&#8217;s baking is seriously delicious and we promise you will love their bakery treats even if you don&#8217;t require a gluten free diet.</p>
<p>Erin and Rebecca, the Zena&#8217;s, have daughters who are school friends. When the girls were entering Kindergarten, each were deciding what they were going to do career-wise moving forward. Rebecca&#8217;s family is gluten free and Erin loves to create healthful baked goods. Rebecca asked Erin to join forces with her and the business was up and running in less than a year! They opened their doors on October 15, 2011!<span id="more-9565"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6115/6306022427_79e580b4a8.jpg" alt="DSC_0009" /></p>
<p>Zena&#8217;s Gluten Free Bakery is truly gluten free. No oats, barley, rye or wheat are used here. They are also a <strong>nut and sesame seed free bakery</strong>. As well, Erin and Rebecca are always looking for the healthiest way to create their treats, using natural sweeteners and colouring agents. Blueberries and other natural sources are used to create food colouring for specialty cake frostings.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/gluten-free-garden.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9596" title="gluten free garden" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/gluten-free-garden.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve tried some of the more popular gluten free baked good brands, you will recall the common rice flour taste that overpowers the cookies, muffins or breads. Rice flour is a great alternative for those who can&#8217;t tolerate gluten, though it doesn&#8217;t always offer a smooth consistency to allow for nicely-textured baked goods. It put us off of trying gluten free products for years! Rice flour isn&#8217;t used at Zena&#8217;s. Instead, they use a delicious quinoa and sorghum mix that is smooth and delicious. You can purchase their specialty quinoa mix at the bakery, too, to use in your own baking.</p>
<p>Zena&#8217;s gluten free sandwich bread will impress, too. Available in regular sandwich bread, super psyllium bread or multigrain seeded bread, each homemade loaf is packed with healthy psyllium.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0007" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6306545366/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6227/6306545366_7bbf700cb5.jpg" alt="DSC_0007" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Zenas-gluten-free-Raisin-Bread1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9600" title="Zena's gluten free Raisin Bread" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Zenas-gluten-free-Raisin-Bread1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="352" /></a></p>
<p>We indulged in some quinoa cranberry and quinoa chocolate chip cookies at Zena&#8217;s and they were absolutely yummy! Guaranteed you wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell the difference between Zena&#8217;s cookies and a &#8216;regular&#8217; cookie made with wheat flour. They are the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside &#8211; moist, rich, flavourful, delicious. Some of their other specialties include double chocolate blondes, blueberry white chocolate scones and pumpkin chai muffins.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0004" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6306544678/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6042/6306544678_d774f94778.jpg" alt="DSC_0004" /></a></p>
<div style="width: 10px; height: 3px; display: block; overflow: hidden;"><a style="text-indent: 20px; display: block;" href="http://www.splashmedia.com">Social Media Marketing</a></div>
<p>On Wednesdays, Zena&#8217;s Gluten Free bakery offers a great selection of vegan delights. Muffins, cookies, cupcakes, scones &#8211; all wheat, dairy, honey and egg free!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0008" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6306545752/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6091/6306545752_05c93be585.jpg" alt="DSC_0008" /></a></p>
<p>It seems gluten allergies and intolerances are on the rise and it&#8217;s nice to know of this local specialty bakery. No more frozen rice bread for gluten free folks! How lovely to be able to visit a bakery where fresh loaves of homemade bread await you. Check out the pretty features board to see what&#8217;s on the baking rack each day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0002" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6306544334/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6102/6306544334_758d9788bc.jpg" alt="DSC_0002" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know what&#8217;s adorable? Finding entrepreneurs who love what they do. Like, LOVE it. We recently caught up with Melissa and Terrah of Aldergrove&#8217;s Jax &amp; Jena and the joy radiating from these two was off the charts!</p>
<p>Sisters and great friends, Melissa and Terrah were excited to be raising their young families together. They each have a daughter, whose middle names are Jax and Jena, born just weeks apart. When their one year maternity leave was up after these daughters, they simply weren&#8217;t ready to return to their jobs. Babies and motherhood and loving everything about having children was their life. So, they collectively decided that since they love finding quality, unique products for their little ones and both ladies enjoy people, they would create a business together that married these two things! The idea of Jax &amp; Jena was what they decided on and the company was born in 2010.<span id="more-9511"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Jax-Jena1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9531" title="Jax &amp; Jena" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Jax-Jena1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>Jax &amp; Jena is a mobile trunk show service that bring upscale baby and maternity wear to your home, offering modern, busy parents a fun way to shop for quality baby products. The ladies arrive fully stocked with sizes, up to size 4, offering instant gratification to the trunk show participants. Up to size 8 is available for most items by special order, though these do have to be ordered and take a couple of weeks.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="WestCoastBaby_Product2" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WestCoastBaby_Product2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="357" /></p>
<p><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-Shot-2011-10-28-at-10.57.05-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter" title="Screen Shot 2011-10-28 at 10.57.05 AM" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-Shot-2011-10-28-at-10.57.05-AM.png" alt="" width="543" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>Their product line includes <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Westcoastbaby.html" target="_blank">Westcoast Baby</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Mylittleseat.html" target="_blank">My Little Seat</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Hatley.html" target="_blank">Hatley</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Lillybee.html" target="_blank">Lillibee</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Strider.html" target="_blank">Strider</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/AdenAnais.html" target="_blank">aden + anais</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Binklink.html" target="_blank">Bink Link</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Babybellies.html" target="_blank">babybellies</a>, <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Trumpette.html" target="_blank">Trumpette</a> and other fantastic brands. There are also some lines which are exclusive to Jax &amp; Jena, including <a href="http://www.jaxjena.com/Huluwuwu.html" target="_blank">Hulu Wuwu</a>, created by a Mom in Hawaii. Melissa and Terrah&#8217;s focus is on carrying high quality items that they themselves have tested and would recommend to a friend.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Trumpette_Product6" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Trumpette_Product6.jpg" alt="" width="544" height="260" /></p>

<p>So who throws a Jax &amp; Jena party? Mothers with young children, friends hosting a baby shower, or anyone else with wee ones in their lives. One of Melissa &amp; Terrah&#8217;s favourite kinds of parties are Grandma parties. Grandmas and Grandmas-to-be gather together for a fun social time to talk all things grandbabies (as we all know Grandmas love to do!) and shop Jax &amp; Jena for their favourite little ones.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Pippalily_Product7" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Pippalily_Product7.jpg" alt="" width="504" height="280" /></p>
<p><a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Strider_Product-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Strider_Product 2" src="http://fraservalleypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Strider_Product-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></a>Jax &amp; Jena trunk shows travel all over the Lower Mainland and Melissa and Terrah say their favourite part of the job, besides testing out all of the amazing products, is the flexibility it allows them as mothers and the absolutely fantastic people they meet along the way. Those who are expecting or those who have little ones at home are excited to shop for high quality, beautiful baby items and that&#8217;s a great energy to be around.</p>
<p>Online shopping is coming to the Jax &amp; Jena website in the next while &#8211; stay tuned!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there anything better than a delectable drink that&#8217;s also environmentally friendly? We don&#8217;t think so, which is why we can&#8217;t get enough of Lotusland and their delicious, organic, local wines. That&#8217;s right; Lotusland is an organic vineyard based right here in Abbotsford. In fact, owners Liz and David Avery proudly say it&#8217;s the only 100 percent Fraser Valley Winery.</p>
<p>That means all the wines are made from Fraser Valley fruit, and they&#8217;re not just talking about grapes. Devil&#8217;s Spit, a red wine, is made from blackberries. But of course they have wines made from grapes, too. One of their best sellers is the Girlsrmeaner, a white wine in both dry and off dry, and the Ortega, with fresh citrus aromas. Or, if you feel like a red, they have a selection that includes Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Enigma.<span id="more-9401"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0490" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6267414900/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6053/6267414900_e5159e85f7.jpg" alt="DSC_0490" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0488" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6266861373/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6226/6266861373_f3fa4f7c09.jpg" alt="DSC_0488" /></a></p>
<p>But at Lotusland, it&#8217;s not just about the wines; it&#8217;s about caring for the environment. None of the fruit is exposed to chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Liz and David say that was important to them because they knew their children would be working with the grapes, and they didn&#8217;t want their children exposed to harmful chemicals. The priority, Liz says, is being good stewards of the land.</p>
<p>&#8220;The people of the Haida Gwaii have a saying that we borrow this earth from our grandchildren,&#8221; David says. &#8220;That&#8217;s a philosophy that goes in every bottle we produce.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0492" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6266868473/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6266868473_eac2854faa.jpg" alt="DSC_0492" /></a></p>
<p>Because the wines are so delicious, you might assume Liz and David have an extensive history involving wines, but they don&#8217;t. Before starting Lotusland in 1997 (the retail store opened in 2002), Liz was a stay-at-home mom who did contract house cleaning once her children were in school. David was involved in regional sales for an office products company. They were amateur wine makers, who decided they wanted to spend their days in the outdoors. So they bought the property in Abbotsford where Lotusland now sits.</p>
<p>The acreage Lotusland is on is actually a reclaimed gravel quarry, so one of the first priorities was spending long hours in the yard, picking up all rocks larger than three inches—by hand. &#8220;There is not one square foot of this land that we haven&#8217;t altered,&#8221; Liz says.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0482" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6266849953/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6222/6266849953_965ef75155.jpg" alt="DSC_0482" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0478" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6266841809/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6109/6266841809_921566773d.jpg" alt="DSC_0478" /></a></p>
<p>Liz says the move to planting seeds was actually a progression. The land was seeded with hay, but Liz didn&#8217;t feel what they were doing was farming. So, David suggested growing grapes. They obtained cuttings from the Okanagan, cut them into the appropriate sizes and then, after a few years and a lot of hard work—during which David was still involved in his sales job—Lotusland wines were available for sale.</p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted a coastal flavour for our wines,&#8221; David says. &#8220;We&#8217;d like the Lotusland N.V. [pronounced like envy] to become the wine that coastal B.C. is known for, similar to what the Sauvignon Blanc is to New Zealand. We want to find something unique to this region, so people come for that wine.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="DSC_0479" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6266843707/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6106/6266843707_e94a501502.jpg" alt="DSC_0479" /></a></p>
<p>In addition to the Lotusland retail store, which offers wine tastings, Lotusland wines can be found in a variety of restaurants and retail outlets. A bottle of Lotusland wine makes a fantastic gift because it is local and organic, and so many people enjoy it. Lotusland organic wines range in price from $16 to $35. But even though the wines might just make a perfect gift, you can always pick up a bottle to enjoy yourself. Because the perfect bottle of wine, paired with a delicious meal, is a little taste of paradise. We especially love the Girlsrmeaner in off dry.</p>
<p><em><strong>Would you like to visit this Fraser Valley winery? We are excited to send one lucky reader for a tour, for up to 12 people, of the winery, including a tasting from the tank and barrel and samples in their tasting room. </strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever we find a store that is a little more hidden than the rest, we are that much more excited to share it with our readers! Tucked into Gasoline Alley, off of Glover Road in the heart of Fort Langley, is where you will find one of the more unique boutiques we’ve featured yet – Cranberries&#8230;Naturally!</p>
<p>This quaint little store offers all types of cranberry products from cranberry sauces to cranberry vinegars, cranberry candy, cranberry BBQ sauce and lots more. Imagine an entire store filled with cranberry goodness &#8211; that&#8217;s what you will find in Fort Langley.<span id="more-9238"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247244805/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6037/6247244805_3e078dde0e.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" /></a></p>
<p>Owner Jasmine Marjanovic didn’t know just what she was getting herself into when she attended the <a href="http://www.cranberryfest.ca" target="_blank">Fort Langley Cranberry Festival</a> about 16 years ago. After attending the festival she was so excited to have discovered all the great things you could do with cranberries and how healthy they were for you! Jasmine jumped into the world of cranberries and researched as much as she could about the health benefits of these power packed ruby berries and became determined to share this information with her community.</p>
<p>After 4 years of planning, designing and renovating, Jasmine opened the doors to Cranberries&#8230;Naturally in 1999. Originally an old garage, the building that Cranberries&#8230;Naturally calls home required a bit of TLC before the store could open. Wanting to capture a bit of the history that her store shares with the building and community, Jasmine aimed to create a space that reflected the spirit and essence of Fort Langley. We believe she succeeded! Using a mixture of vintage armoires, eclectic artwork, wicker baskets and whimsical touches, Jasmine has created an inviting environment that makes you feel all warm and cozy as soon as you step inside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247233535/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6227/6247233535_d75bf80b0f.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247237505/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6152/6247237505_3ea9e06f14.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" /></a></p>
<p>Even those who aren’t familiar with cranberries will love this shop. Jasmine and her staff are happy to educate those customers who traditionally limit their cranberry intake to turkey dinners! They love sharing best uses of all the yummy cranberry products on their shelves as well as their multiple health benefits. We learned all kinds of great tips on our recent visit: not only are these little berries high in vitamin C, they are also natural whiteners and act as a natural antiseptic. They are also, when eaten frozen, great for soothing aching gums after a trip to the dentist.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247757488/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6152/6247757488_4466cb3eea.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247239207/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6222/6247239207_ddc10ba1d0.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" /></a></p>
<p>Originally a supplier of cranberry products from all over Canada, Cranberries&#8230;Naturally now develops and distributes their own unique products. As Jasmine’s own creations started replacing the products she used to bring in, she discovered how much she loved creating and selling natural products. Cranberries&#8230;Naturally prides themselves on the preservative free and sulphate free processes used to create their products. Using ingredients such vinegar as a natural preservative or honey as a natural sweetener, Jasmine and her team are able to label their jars with ingredients that we can all read and pronounce.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247246433/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6240/6247246433_66da9887db.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
We highly suggest a visit to this store if you love cranberries or if you&#8217;re looking to try a new, unique Fraser Valley product. You will find jams, jellies, sauces, vinegars, candies and all kinds of cranberry products that we bet you&#8217;ve never seen before. If you get a little overwhelmed, try out their Cranberry Zinger Salad Dressing &#8211; it’s Jasmine’s favorite so you can be sure it won’t disappoint!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="flickr-image aligncenter" title="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraservalleypulse/6247771934/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6176/6247771934_aedd1739dd.jpg" alt="Fraser Valley Pulse Spotlight - Cranberries.Naturally" /></a></p>
<p>Cranberries&#8230;Naturally products can also be found at select Capers and Whole Foods stores, as well as select markets and boutiques throughout the Fraser Valley, including <a href="http://fraservalleypulse.com/pulse-spotlight/spotlight-november-1-2010-inspired-arts-gifts/" target="_blank">Inspired Arts and Gifts</a>.</p>
