Sponsor Spotlight: Epicure with Jacquie Rougeau

Epicure is a unique, 100% Canadian, 100% family-owned, women-led company, committed to doing good by providing great food, a great living, and by giving back to Canadians and our communities. Jacquie Rougeau, an Independent Epicure Consultant, sponsored our Surrey/Langley Holiday Gift Bag. Connect with her on Facebook or Twitter.

"I love being my own boss and I truly love all of the lifelong friends that I have met. I am loving the Good Food Real Fast Campaign. Love that we are 100% Gluten, Nut Free and are part of the Verified Non-GMO project. I joined Epicure in 2008 to basically collect my products at a discount. I was never going to do a party. My friends all booked parties and I discovered that I loved every minute of it. I love socializing with people for a living! I feel very rewarded as an Epicure Leader. I have earned trips to Disneyland, Hawaii and Mexico and am able to help my family by watching my granddaughters twice a week! And.......who wouldn't want to party for a living!!" - Jacquie Rougeau, Independent Epicure Consultant

Each Surrey/Langley Holiday Gift Bag has a sample package of one of these dip mixes: Herb and Garlic, Three Onion, Lemon Dilly, or Cheese, Chives, and Bacon. Which one would you like to try?
