What to do in Vancouver this week of January 2017<\/h2>\n

Is it just me or does it seem like the new year really starts in the second week of January? Last week wasn’t bad, it’s not like I ate a dozen donuts in one seating, I actually had some great gal pal time \u00a0and even planned my pre-wedding week away. I did try a new restaurant, and explored new cocktails and food, and even went for\u00a0a couple runs. I just don’t feel I buckled down like I need to for 2017 business-wise I suppose. So, since my business is telling you what to do (or something like that), let’s get this week going with a few great events I’m giving the thumbs up to in and around Vancouver. Wishing you motivation and success this week! Please do the same for me?\"wine<\/p>\n
