As Canadians, you would think we’d be used to winter by now. But every year, as the colder months roll around, we fall into the same old trap; denial (maybe it won’t go below zero this year?), anger (why can’t we feel our goddamn faces?) and eventually a kind-of-acceptance (it’s fine, we just … [Read more...]
Get Your Family Outside And Enjoy The Snow This Winter
Kids never seem to be fazed by cold weather or snowy days, but I can’t say the same about myself. Over the past few weeks of what can finally be considered winter weather, I have come to realize that my family is really missing out during the winter months. Even though we’re still staying active … [Read more...]
Five Winter Beauty Mishaps And Their Solutions
Winter is fast approaching and it's planning a full blown attack on our beauty regimen. As beautiful as the season can be (it does have its moments…), winter is quite literally the ice cold Queen of all seasons, sucking all the life out of our once sun-kissed skin.

My Dirty Little Secret
I have a confession. I don't really care about the Olympics. I know. You can take away my license to be Canadian right here and now, but I am not one of the millions who have been glued to their televisions watching the lugeing, skiing, skating, snowboarding, etc. We've watched some of the … [Read more...]
Mike From Canmore
I just got back from a glorious mini-holiday to the heart of the Rocky Mountains with one of my dearest girl friends of all time.

From My Closet – December 16th, 2013
Winter is here in full force, like whoa. I'm not sure if I've even mentioned how I feel about this kind of cold weather, but in case I've not been clear, I HATE YOU, WINTER. With some passionate expletives at the end, most of them beginning with the word, muther. It's so cold outside, it hurts my … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 10th, 2013
I did a bit of post-birthday shopping last Thursday, right after I finished getting an awesome foot massage at Footsie Reflexology (seriously, yo... you should go!) which is located across the street from The Bay... so wandered in to have a gander, and it seemed like the entire ladieswear department … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 30th, 2013
I should title this post "A Tale of Two Tights". Patterned tights can be tricky to wear sometimes: ones with heavy ribs need to run straight up and down, as do the sorts with cables, or else you look like an errant child.
