Meet the Blog Artist: Elissa
I am the Communications Specialist and resident foodie at our Store Support Centre in Vancouver, BC.
I am an eternal optimist who lives up to my middle name.
I am best in the world at making lemon raspberry scones for the ones I love.
I am passionate about encouraging people to discover their culinary je ne sais quoi. Look for my first cookbook by 2011.
I am a closet Scrabble lover.
Non-food related hobbies include: sweating it out at early morning Bikrams classes, walking in wonder through the city streets, and seeking the beauty in this crazy world
In May of 2006, God was ridiculously good to me, and the rest is history. Steve is his name.
If you’re ever in Vancouver, you’re welcome to swing by our apartment. I’ll make us some tea and scones and hone my Scrabble skills on you. You better bring it.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. In my case, the fall didn’t stunt my growth. She may be six inches shorter than me, but she’s no shrinking violet. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my mother, Marilee Joy.
Elissa with her mother, who is 55, fit and fabulous!
Please join me in celebrating [...]

Sleep. Read. Sweat. Shower. Work. Meet. Write. Shop. Clean. Fix. Organize. Here. There. Everywhere.
I am a recovering list-a-holic. Seriously, if I could itemize the minute details of my life purely for the satisfaction of crossing tasks off my list, I would. I do.
The to-do list is hardly fresh. Children return to school and receive agendas [...]
Is it just me, or is autumn the best? I love shifting seasons. Everything slows down in my world in the fall: the tempo of the music I reach for, the way I cook my dinners, and the workouts that appeal to me. Give me a peaceful stretch in a warm room, bathed in dim [...]

I never applied to work for lululemon. In fact, I was actually going to a job interview at a local restaurant, dressed to impress, when I stopped into my neighborhood store and my world turned on its axis. I had just achieved a big life goal: “I leave the security of suburbia and move into [...]

One of the best parts about our jobs here at lululemon is the up close and personal attention that we get to give our products. For our online community team, product testing is actually a part of our work day! We need to know the ins and outs of the products that we make in [...]
Why do I love September? It’s the “Not-So-Summer” time of year in Vancouver, not too hot and not to cold. For me, it’s perfection. (If you haven’t done an outdoor yoga class before, DO IT NOW!)
So why do I love the Not So Deep V Bra? The neckline is neither too low nor too high. [...]

I love food. There – I said it. Welcome to my world, where everything can be whipped into a mélange of food metaphors. And thus begins my debut blog entry about another topic that I am equally passionate about: balance.
Life hands us lots of choices. As a young girl, my hungry imagination cooked up an [...]
