Facebook Timeline for Non Techies Like Me

Finding Timeline
So Facebook timeline was a headache for me for such a long time.  I couldn't figure out why everyone was able to get it except me.  I thought hmm what does Mark Zuckerburg have against Tiaras?  How come I can't find this GET TIMELINE Button that everyone is telling me about?

Out with the OLD
I know tons of people will argue this choice, but I still use Internet Explorer. Yes I'm stubborn like that.  I like being low tech, but apparently my browser was version 7 & they were now at version 9.  I thought I'd give it an upgrade.  After that I was also able to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player and BINGO I was able to access Facebook Timeline

With a couple of clicks and some upload of pics ...

... BINGO I had Timeline

With that means that I can finally see everyone else's timelines, and spent the better part of an evening going through what my facebook friends chose to do with theirs.  I got to see pics taken from all over the world, family photos, works of art and business branding.  I love how each one is so unique! I'm hoping that this will soon start on Facebook Pages, because I already know which one I'll put for the Those2Girls cover photo !

If you have a Facebook Timeline, what inspired the pics you chose for it?
Leave a comment with your Timeline theme, or if you like link it!

Speed Networking For Women In Kitchener Waterloo

Find You Fuchsia

As you know if there is an event happening, I want to be involved.
If there is a networking element you can be sure I am involved :)
If there is a networking event revolved around the colour Fuchsia, then you know it's a perfect fit!

The Fuchsia Factory is a fun speed networking event for women & it's hit Kitchener Waterloo full force!
Our first event was held at Gibsons Sound & Vision & hosted by the lovely & talented Annie Tran.

It involved business cards, a tambourine & of course a TIARA

But don't think it was just fluffy fun, these ladies got right down to business!

They made connections quickly in an enviroment made for engaging women.  The pace was quick, informal & fun.  What else would you want from a Speed Networking event?
Well maybe these

We capped the night off with CUPCAKES (Thanks @bourbonbaker) & Convos!

We all were excited by the new connections we made & ideas of how to expand our networks.

But don't worry fellas, we want to see you at our next event!

Building on the success of the first #FuchsiaKW we will be hosting CO-ED events as well.  With a mix of both Ladies only & Co-Ed Fuchsia Factory events, gals you can decide where your comfort level is!

SIDE NOTE - many of the ladies wanted to know about twitter, so here's the post

Herrles in a Tiara aka Meeting Tweeps!

As you know I love meeting tweeps! Yesterday I had a great Twitter convo with @HerrlesMarket . We talked Corn, Princess Bride, Best Friends & TIARAS! (don't all of those things relate?)

During the conversation I was mentioned it might be fun to shop for corn in my Tiara (because I wear it 24/7 apparently-ha!) . The idea was welcomed & it was a done deal!

I got to meet @HerrlesMarket aka Trevor in person & guess what... He's is as AWESOME as he is on Twitter (I love when Twitter peeps are genuine!)

My next trip will involve Diane & I in Tiaras reminicing about the 1st time we hung out (right there at Herrles 5yrs ago) & realized we are an awesome pair of pals!

& yes The corn as always, was DELISH

**By the way when you go, make sure to tell the staff that you saw this online & Trevor can prove his point to all the people working there ;)

Oh yeah & follow him on twitter too http://twitter.com/HerrlesMarket
