Morning Kids!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and spent lots of time with the people you like best!  I also hope that your tanks are all full after yesterday’s storm – if not, your tank must be gigantic!

Anyway, here are the latest Bermuda events for Spring:

The largest youth football tournament in Bermuda, the Kappa Classic, will be held from Friday to Sunday, April 1st to 3rd.

Morning to you, all my Easter chicks and bunnies!

It’s that time of year again!  Even if you don’t celebrate the religious aspect of Easter, most of Bermuda will enjoy hot cross buns with fishcakes, and flying our kites at Horseshoe Bay on Good Friday, in addition to the chocolate coma on Sunday.  Although, maybe I’m just speaking for myself about the whole chocolate coma thing…

This week’s post is relatively short, as is usual the week of a holiday, so be sure to check out the Quick Recap section at the end to see the full list of what’s coming up.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend in Bermuda!

Enjoy a variety of salads and appetizers, a selection of sushi and daily varieties of delicious dishes at L’Oriental’s Asian Lunch Buffet.

Morning Troops

Flowers blooming everywhere, longer days and milder nights – it’s officially springtime in Bermuda!

Here is your update on what has been added to the calendar since last week – there is a lot!:

A number of brave Bermuda residents will have a hair-razing experience at the St. Baldrick’s Head Shave on Friday, March 18th.

From 5pm in the back room at Docksider’s, they will be braving the shave to raise money for children’s cancer charity, The St. Baldrick’s Foundation.  Sponsored by Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre, this event will also feature a DJ, face-painting, henna tattoos, and the Two & Quarter Photography photo booth, in addition to the shearing.

For more information, to register to shave, or to donate, visit www.StBaldricks.org/events/docksiders2016.

Morning Ladies and Gents!

I don’t think I even own many devices which don’t auto-update anymore but, just in case you do, don’t forget that we’ll be Springing Forward on Sunday for Daylight Savings Time, leaving winter well and truly behind us.

Waking up will probably be brutal for the first week or so, but at least we can relax and enjoy a more leisurely sunset with the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day.

Here is the latest update on new events that have been added to the Bermuda calendar since last week’s post – enjoy!

Calling all models in Bermuda, and anyone who has dreamed of modeling – now is your chance to walk with the best as the Bermuda Fashion Festival is scouting for this year’s event at their Model Call for Kids on Thursday, March 10th and Model Call For Adults on Saturday and Sunday, March 12th and 13th.

Bermuda’s premier fashion week is scheduled to run from Sunday, July 10th to Saturday, July 16th and is shaping up to be more of an international event than ever before, with the involvement of highly recognizable global brands and designers.  The names of international celebrities participating in Bermuda Fashion Festival will be revealed in coming weeks.

From 4pm until 6pm on Thursday, March 10th, the Model Call is an opportunity for children aged 5 and above to participate in Bermuda’s largest fashion event, Evolution Retail Show.  Teenagers up to 18 years are also encouraged to audition.

The Adult Model Call will be from 1pm until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, March 12th and 13th and, this year, they hope to attract many new models, welcoming adults of any age and size, from any background.  There is a thrill to introducing someone new to the Bermuda Fashion Festival experience and they love finding a new diamond – that could be you.  Local models are included in Bermuda’s largest fashion event, Evolution Retail Show, as well the highly-anticipated International Designer and Local Designer runway shows.

All auditions will take place at the lower level of Pier 6.

Auditions are free and there is no charge to model in the fashion shows.

Good morning Bermuda!

Well, March certainly hasn’t come in like a lion so far – spring is finally in the air!  Not only is it starting to get a little warmer but the clocks go forward next weekend, giving us an extra hour of daylight.

Wondering what to do with all that extra sunshine?  Well, lots of things are going on in Bermuda in the spring so let’s get down to it:

Let Discovery Wines prove that the grape game isn’t just a man’s world at the next in their Wine Focus Wednesday Series, Women in Wine, on Wednesday, March 2nd.

Wine Focus Wednesdays is an exclusive wine tasting series, where you will be guided through an in-depth tasting, featuring a specific region grape varietal or theme. You will be given the opportunity to taste five different wines that truly exemplify the different terroirs and grape varietals in an intimate group setting while snacking on one of their delectable cheese boards.

In preparation for Women’s Day on March 8th, DW will be featuring a wine selection that highlights female winemakers and notable women in the industry. Currently, the industry, especially the winemakers, is male-dominated, thus, DW would like to feature a flight of wines that highlight women who are doing an exemplary job.  This tasting will also be a diverse selection of higher-end wines from various regions featuring different grape varietals.

Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online at www.DiscoveryWines.bm.  Class size is very limited so you are encouraged to book early.
