I had the pleasure of seeing the musical “Rose” by award-winning Indigenous playwright Tomson Highway at the NAC. I always love a theatrical production that can make you both laugh and cry.

April Showers bring May Flowers. The Tulip Festival is just around the corner. How exciting! 📸 @AperitaPhotos

Throwback Thursday: My website in 2015 when I was 30 y/o. Who remembers? I am now 41, but my physical description in the second paragraph remains the same.

Seeking: A gentleman who loves ABBA to accompany me to an event in April. I have excellent tickets and all I’m missing is a date. Could it be you? 📸 @AperitaPhotos

I may not be a future Cirque de Soleil star, but I sure had a lot of fun!

I’ve laid out my outfit for a special upcoming date. Romance is in the air!

I was honoured to see David Suzuki perform last night with his wife Tara Cullis. He is 90 years old but sharp as a whip. I can’t wait to read a signed copy of his book, Lessons From a Lifetime. What a legend!

I enjoyed my first visit to a chip wagon in 2026. Spring is officially here. What a treat!

We have an exciting new venue in downtown Ottawa and they just dropped their concert lineup for Fall 2026. www.historyottawa.com

It’s been 3 days since my dog was attacked. There is no sign of infection at this time. I will continue to monitor and care for him. Thank you for the well wishes. ✨

I’m so touched by all the well wishes. Thank you! The swelling has improved since this morning, so that’s a good sign. I’ll know more if this is progressing to infection tomorrow morning.

The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight was cancelled on short notice and I only found out upon arrival. I had purchased 2nd row, center tickets 6 months in advance. How sad! 😢💔

My dog was attacked yesterday. He sustained a level 3/4 bite. We have contacted his veterinarian and he is on antibiotics and pain medication. We are praying that the wound doesn’t get infected. I appreciate well wishes for my boy ❤️💕

I wanted to do something different this evening and so I made a few simple origami pieces. It was fun! Maybe I have found a new hobby?

Today, I had the pleasure of a first date at Johnny Farina. It was a cold day. We started with a warm soup and ended with something sweet.

Off to shoot some pool! 🎱

I’m still grinning from ear to ear after an AMAZING date that began with a performance dedicated to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. It was my first time enjoying front row, centre seats at the NAC. I’m such a lucky lady!

A gentleman said to me “I love being in the company of a woman who lives a life of joy” and I’m still smiling a week after our date. What kind words! 📸 @hellomissphoto

When I bought my house 3 years ago, I made an effort to connect with my neighbours. Today, an elderly neighbour knocked on my door. Her dog was in medical distress and she needed a ride to the vet. Of course, I obliged. I’m grateful my neighbours feel comfortable reaching out ❤️

I have tickets to a couple magic shows in April. Would you like to be my date? You know how to make it happen!

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, I reflect on the ways that women make the world a brighter, kinder, and more beautiful place. May we endeavour to make the world a safer and more just place for all women.

I’m keen to explore more crafty and creative date options. Thank you, @jackiegilcrest.bsky.social , for suggesting Mud Oven. I had a wonderful afternoon painting pottery in good company.

Throwback Thursday: A sunshine-filled date in 2025.

Who knew that Beckta serves burger and fries on their lunch menu? My date said it’s the best in town!

It’s always a good day when I get to cuddle a puppy. How lucky am I? 😍

It always brings me great joy to visit Octopus Books. Ottawa is lucky to be home to such a lovely little bookstore.

I'll be lounging around in ottawa til Wednesday. My time in the city is limited til April. 🩷

Throwback to January 2017 when I drove to Washington, DC to make my voice heard.

Who said slim ladies don’t have fabulous curves?

My style when you pick me up for a pool date in -20c weather.

Throwback to dinner dates in ballet sandals. ☀️☀️☀️

Now that I am back home, ready to start 2026, I would like to thank you for the extraordinary experiences you've provided me in 2025. I wish you the best for 2026, and I look forward to sharing more with you. I have updated useful info on my website, and I have published some news! roxannevalois.com

Ottawa! I'll finally be back for a tour from Wednesday to Friday this week! Jan 28th to 30th. Come say hi ;)

I love a pretty bathroom!

Cheers to a wonderful start to 2026!

Hello, Le Nordik. Walking outside in a bikini, soaking in the beauty of the snow, and then climbing into a hot tub is so satisfying. What a way to beat the winter blues!

I miss the days of thrift store shopping for vintage fashions. The thrill of the hunt was powerful! Now, it seems they are a dumping ground for discounted fast fashion. 😢

🇨🇦 SWers + 🌽 creators! @publicpubics.bsky.social & I have been researching SW financial discrim. in Canada + are seeking anecdotes of de-banking to include in our published report Has a bank ever frozen/closed your accounts or withheld $? Willing to share your experience? DM me (+ pls share!)

I had a wonderful first date this week and he’s still on my mind. I can’t wait for our second date!

I was stripes and this was my last ball on the table. 😱 I’m not a magician so I didn’t even attempt to sink the ball, but I managed to move it up-table without sinking the 8-ball.

Mirrors tell secrets. ✨ @jackiegilcrest.bsky.social

I’ve had so many fun dates to begin 2026. One of my favourites was West Park Bowling. I have a feeling 2026 is going to be a wonderful year. ✨

A market featuring local artists and an Audrey Hepburn classic at the Bytowne? What a delightful pre-Valentine’s Day date! If you’d like to be my date, I’d love to hear from you. 💋 www.bytowne.ca/movies/valen... 📸 @AperitaPhotos

No, FitBit. I was not in a spinning class.

Tailgators, I wanted to play there. A kind gentleman drove us to the West end to fulfill my wish. Thank you! p.s. Not only do they have pool, but they have ping pong and table hockey as well. What a fun place!

It’s been awhile since I posted a thirst trap. Enjoy! 💋

I forgot how pretty I feel when my hair is down.

Welcome to BSky, Lilli!

Some of the best dates are low-key where we stay in and play board games, laugh, and share stories. My date kicked my butt at Scrabble. In my defense, I am only aware of words used in speech and not “Scrabble legal” words like “Deg” and “Qi.” Yes, it was me who scored “Sex.”
