TUESDAY FEBRUARY 21
I know it’s Mardi Gras but ladies, why not do something a little more productive than just drinking Abitas and Hurricanes? The folks at Velocity, an awesome new D.C. non-profit, wants to learn to stop managing your time and invest it in the things that truly matter instead. Their life coach will show you how to toss your to-do list and catch up with yourself instead. And you can still enjoy a guilt-free glass of wine! The event is free and takes place at the Ellington Building on U Street. I myself will be taking over Le Bar at the Sofitel for happy hour with a great group of expats. Know some lost Frenchies in the city? Send them over for a glass of bubbly!
