Polar Vortex to Bring Extreme Cold to Ottawa Tonight! 🥶
Get ready, Ottawa! A polar vortex is set to grip the region starting tonight, bringing dangerously cold temperatures and brutal wind chills. Residents should prepare for an extended period of frigid conditions that will last through the week.
What to Expect:
🌡️ Temperatures will plunge to lows around -20°C to -25°C, but the real concern is the wind chill.
💨 Wind chills could make it feel as cold as -37C - increasing the risk of frostbite in just minutes.
🧊 Coldest Days: The peak of the cold snap is expected over the next few days, with daytime highs struggling to reach above -15°C and overnight lows dipping even further.
What is a Polar Vortex?
A polar vortex is a large mass of cold Arctic air that usually stays over the North Pole but occasionally pushes south, bringing extreme cold to regions like Ottawa. This phenomenon results in prolonged periods of freezing weather, making outdoor exposure risky.
How Long Will This Last? 🥶
The extreme cold is expected to linger for several days before temperatures begin to moderate slightly later in the week. However, cold conditions will persist, with overnight lows continuing to stay well below seasonal averages.

This is my first image of 2025. I was out walking yesterday, and this was on my list to redo.
I love the symmetry of this image; it is something I miss creating.
Are there areas in Ottawa with symmetry and leading lines that I should visit to photograph?

Castle on the Hill 🏰
Here`s a view of the fairmontlaurier, a historical icon in the heart of Canada’s capital city, glowing in the sunset light.
This French-style château has been standing for over 110 years and has welcomed royalty, celebrities and Canada’s elite, and is one of my favorite landmarks in Ottawa.
Currently, the Canadian Tulip Festival is being held there, an annual tradition that takes place each May. The festival is considered to be one the world`s largest tulip festival, displaying over one million tulips, with attendance of over 650,000 visitors annually.🌷

How do you juggle running a business & family? 🧿
I get asked this often...
The responsibilities of taking care of your family, your home and running & growing your business, doesn’t come easy, but it comes with its rewards.
The best decision I ever made in my life was to follow my passion & create a business. For years I worked my corporate job while building my business with the goal of being able to work completely online so I have more free time to be with my family, travel & do what I love.
The difference is, I trusted in where I was going & didn’t let my current circumstances be my excuse. I think longer term - always. I don’t operate in my current circumstances. I dont make investments on current circumstances & I dont make decisions on emotions that I am feeling right now. I make decisions on where I want to be a year from now, 3, 5 years from now.
But you need to have a winning mindset.
Going online is not only important, but turning your passion into an automated system is even more important.
It’s about making a short term grind into a long term success.
I see so many people aiming to reach 6-figures or already are, working the 1 on 1. Do you know how many hours that is in a week to reach those monetary goals? Sacrificing your time & energy for the money.
I also see many tying themselves up creating their own products for resale but have you ever thought or calculated your time into the price of your product? (Sadly many don’t)
Why not share the knowledge you have by showing people what you know and turn it into a passive system. You share what you love, reach more people & scale much quicker.
In my upcoming workshop, I will break down how to build, create, structure your knowledge into a digital automated system, while also learning the world of social media, how to grow & convert with a few simple strategies. (Register via LINK IN BIO)
Moms, mompreneurs, aspiring healers.... It’s time to go online where billions are spent everyday. You will never regret taking a leap of faith, but you will regret never taking the chance on yourself.
If you are ready - I will see you in the Live Workshop (free) startingMonday - Feb 5🙋🏻♀️
Home first to the people of the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation, Ottawa has been shaped by the history of Canada. Situated at the intersection of three rivers and two cities, we bring together the past and the future, city and nature, English, French, and Indigenous communities. We are the confluence of peoples and cultures that shaped Canada and, as its capital, we connect our citizens with the rest of the country and the world.
