When I grow up, I want to be just like Lorene!

I am SO happy to congratulate Glitter and Spice founder and creator, Lorene, on WINNING "Best Social Media Marketer" at the Small Business BC Awards, which took place on Thursday, February 25 at the Pan Pacific Vancouver.

If you live under a rock and are unfamiliar with Glitter and Spice, let me fill you in a bit. Shortly after Lorene's second child was born, she was in desperate search of teething accessories. Unable to find ones she liked, she began to create her own. This quickly snowballed into the creation of her business, Glitter and Spice, which officially began in March of 2015.

Not only has Glitter and Spice been featured in Vogue, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, Cupcake Magazine, and on Global News, Lorene has also been a participant in the celebrity gifting suites for the Emmy's and Oscar's. Along side Lorene at the Oscars this past February were fellow Children's shops: Emerson Apparel, Love Designs, Jady Babys, and Brok Boys.

It has been a true honour to meet and work with Lorene, and now call her a friend. In just one year, this incredible mom has successfully created and quickly expanded one of B.C.'s top small businesses. She is committed to success in the truest sense of the word, and hustles harder than anyone I know.

I am SO proud of you, Lorene. Thank you for being a mentor and inspiration to all of the other mom bosses out there, including myself.
