It’s going to go really well. I’m super excited,” she said.Byrd shared that the concept was based on her exposure to Scandinavian candy culture during her modeling career and repeated visits to Sweden where she adopted the lordagsgodis tradition.“I was traveling all across the world and trying the best candy in Europe. Even the chocolate in the Scandinavian countries and in Switzerland, you can’t even relate it to the chocolate here in North America,” Katelyn said.“I started bringing some home to my friends and family. And then fast forward, I married a Swedish man. Every time I’d go back to Sweden, we’d have Lördagsgodis, which means Saturday candy day. It’s a tradition in Sweden,” she added.The video also included snippets of packaging previews and references to early business meetings.Elias Petterson’s wife Katelyn shares estimated date for official launch of her candy brandDuring the video, Katelyn stated that her aim was to bring Scandinavian-style candy to North America with higher ingredient standards and flavour quality than typical mass-market products.She indicated that online sales would begin first with local availability planned afterward.

Carey Price was asked if he was "dressed up as a condom" while donning Tin Man Halloween getup, reveals wife Angela

Earlier this weekend, Carey Price’s wife Angela Price hosted a Q&A on her Instagram with a behind-the-scenes look at the family’s annual Halloween costume traditions. This year, the Prices took on a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme with the couple and their three kids in full Rangers gear.During the session, Angela fielded a fan inquiry about whether the former Montreal Canadiens goaltender is a willing participant in the family’s themed costumes. She joked that Price cooperated now, but in the past they even teased about using a stand-in for him during fully masked looks.“Willing for a short, short time haha,” Angela wrote. “We use to joke for these masked costumes we could just get a stand in.”Angela also shared an anecdote about a previous Halloween when Price dressed as the Tin Man. According to her, the elaborate makeup became a hassle and the costume led to unexpected reactions.She revealed that Price was repeatedly asked if he was dressed as a condom, a mix-up that seemingly dampened his enthusiasm for future full-face costume efforts.“I use to be able to get him to take the kids trick or treating dressed up but this tin man costume kinda of ruined that for me... the face paint was too much of a pain and he got asked multiple times if he was dressed up as a condom 😅,” she wrote.via Instagram /@byangelapriceThe couple’s children have recently taken the front seat in choosing themes with Angela noting that the creative direction now largely comes from their oldest two. She added that their eldest daughter is moving past “cute” costumes and that the family may need to increase its creativity in coming years.Carey Price’s wife debunks properly acquisition rumorDuring her weekend Instagram Q&A, Angela Price also addressed persistent rumors and future home plans.One follower asked whether she and Carey Price had purchased a home in Miramichi. Angela directly debunked the speculation explaining that the rumor had no basis.“No, this is just a rumor. We have never considered getting a home there,” she responded.via Instagram /@byangelapriceAnother follower asked whether the family planned to remain in Kelowna long-term. Angela noted that while their future location is not set in stone, the Okanagan will continue to be an important base for the Prices.“Maybe not, but I do think we’ll always keep our home here and at least come back for summer’s,” she said.The Prices currently live in Kelowna, British Columbia, despite Carey’s unexpected trade to San Jose earlier in the summer.
