POP Underwear will give to people in need

One of the designers of the clothing and underwear company POP Underwear, Vahiné Lefebvre, tells us that the company has taken the initiative to help people in need this holiday season!

Indeed, it is on her Instagram that the entrepreneur announced that she and her team were going to help people in need by giving underwear to young people in centers and collecting toys and warm clothes that they will then distribute!

“(…) I told the girls about my idea… we were looking for a way to help, so what we’re going to do is we’re going to go and take a lot of underwear to a youth center in need, because I hear they really don’t have a lot of underwear so we’re going to go and take a lot of underwear (…) that’s thing number one. Secondly, we thought we could collect all the warm clothes for the winter, boots, coats for adults and children, and toys and we will distribute them in the centers”, said Vahiné to explain her steps!

To contribute, you have to go to 55 Louvain Street between 9am and 7pm on December 19th and 20th to donate clothes and toys that will then be distributed by the POP Underwear team!

Remember that it is also possible to do your part in another way by offering a donation to the Guignolée des médias, or to any other organization!

Will you also give to people in need this holiday season?

Longueuil hosts a digital arts and street food festival this weekend

It promises to be festive!

Are you looking for activities to do this weekend? The city of Longueuil is offering a very festive event! It’s the Lumifest festival which will take place from September 29th to October 1st in the heart of Old Longueuil.

This festival of digital arts and street food is a rendez-vous for families, couples and gangs of friends! The theme chosen for the 2022 edition is the 90’s, and we bet it will play on the nostalgia of many of us!

Among the various activities offered during Lumifest, we find cinematographic experiences, interactive installations, DJ parties, karaoke, musical performances and giant puppets. And to make the most of it, Saint-Charles Street West, where the Lumifest takes place, will be pedestrianized between Saint-Sylvestre and Saint-Jacques streets. You can leave your car at home since many bus lines will be free to get to the site thanks to a partnership with the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL). You can visit the RTL website for more information.

In order to help participants find their way around the various activities, Lumifest has joined the FEST application, which includes several other Quebec festivals. Via this application, it will be possible to consult the site map, discover the artists present and obtain all the information related to the event.

Ultra festive evenings will be offered to participants thanks to the collaboration of DJs who will ignite the outdoor dance floor of the Dancefloor Desjardins. Themes are proposed for each evening: Guitar Hero on September 29th, Jump Around on September 30th and Everybody Dance Now on October 1st. It’s a promise! An open-air karaoke will also be organized near St. Mark’s Park where courageous amateur singers will be able to sing along with the spectators. The lyrics of the songs will be projected on a giant screen, so 90’s nostalgics will have fun singing the hits of the era!

There are many other activities on the schedule, and it’s going to be very exciting! You don’t want to miss it!

The arrival of my first baby: between anxiety and infinite love

The approach of the birth of my child brings me many conflicting emotions…

I will be welcoming my first child with my partner very soon, and I am filled with a myriad of emotions both sweet and stressful. As I go through the last big right of my pregnancy, I’m at 34 weeks, I feel like I’m more fully aware of all that’s coming and the changes we’re going to experience.

Thanks to the lull in the pandemic, I have been fortunate enough to have access to face-to-face prenatal classes that have been most beneficial. I was able to learn more about the process of childbirth as well as the reality of the postnatal period for parents and baby. It was very reassuring, but it also brought me stress. I realized that I was afraid of not being an adequate parent, afraid that my baby would not be healthy, afraid of not being able to adapt to this new reality, etc. You guessed it, I’m a bit of a natural worrier! If I manage this anxiety well enough in my daily life, the imminent arrival of the baby is upsetting my emotional balance.

We are so bombarded with information, parenting models on social networks, advice from friends and family, etc. that I sometimes feel like we are putting a lot on our shoulders. The famous pressure to be a perfect parent… Yet, parenthood is clearly not a straight and well laid out path, and with each child, the journey is different. In a way, that’s the beauty of being a parent: our child brings us into their world and it’s up to us to find the best ways to accompany them through life.

Becoming a mom for the very first time in my life, I will experience nothing but newness. Every experience will be a first! It’s grand, but also awesome. I like to plan for everything in life, but here I am at a point in my life where I can’t plan beyond the utilitarian (getting the baby’s room ready, the hospital bag, etc.) … I can’t know what kind of rhythm my baby will have or how the dynamic of my partner and I will change… and while these upcoming novelties are exciting, they are also scary.

In the end, I think what I’m trying to express is that as much as I’m looking forward to meeting my child, it also comes with fear and stress. I think it’s normal to experience conflicting emotions when approaching a newborn, especially a first child, and while I don’t necessarily have any advice for dealing with the situation, I would say that it’s crucial to welcome yourself without judgment in what you’re feeling. There is no such thing as the perfect parent, and the important thing is to always have the well-being of our children at heart.

Have you experienced conflicting emotions as you approach the birth of your child?
