I work in an office building that is a five minute walk from the Eaton Centre. For a born shopper, this is a hazardous location, and the opening of different stores has been quite dangerous. A few years ago there was the new Winners across the street; Homesense quick on its heels. Two years ago a J … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading: “Boy, Snow, Bird”
Some books wash over you like a wave; they're read quite easily, bathe you as you're enjoying them and then recede, seldom to be remembered. Other books pull you down like a rip current; demanding your full attention and observation, leaving you almost breathless at the end. Those are the books you … [Read more...]
Dempster’s Maple French Toast Bagels…Sweet Treat!
It's Spring Break in Ontario, which means half my Facebook feed is friends and family posting about sunny days, beaches and hot temperatures (those I choose to ignore). The other half of my friends are posting about sugar shacks and maple syrup festivals. Those I enjoy. As a family, we've enjoyed … [Read more...]
Live Clean Age Resist Collection
I've got a birthday coming up this month. Birthdays are wonderful. There's celebrating with friends, Facebook greetings, cake and free lip balm from Sephora. The alternative to having birthdays is not having birthdays...and that really sucks. However, while birthdays are wonderful, aging is not. … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading: “The Winter People”
I was recently asked what genre of book I enjoy reading. The truth is that I'm drawn first to literary fiction. I'll dip into chick lit to cleanse my palate after a particularly heavy novel, and I do enjoy a good memoir every now and then. Vacation means mysteries to me, and non-fiction is my audio … [Read more...]
Oil Change…For Your Face
The hottest trend in skincare is oil. But before you hit up your local mechanic, we've done a little research on these new products and their usage. When my Vichy contact pitched me their latest product, the Neovadiol Magistral Elixir, I scoffed. This was being marketed as an elixir of youth for … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: “The Secret of Magic”
Black History month seemed to be the perfect time to read Deborah Johnson's "The Secret of Magic". Set in Mississippi, 1945, the novel tells the story of the race relation battles that raged in the South after World War II. War hero Joe Howard is coming home from Europe to his small town of … [Read more...]

GapMaternity Comes to Canada
Maternity style certainly changed between my first and third pregnancies. With my first I was wearing a lot of HUGE tunics and leggings. With my first, there may have been bows around my neck and tent-like blouses, and the selection in stores was so far from my normal style that it was like I took … [Read more...]
