Spring Fever

March 19, 2012

It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! – Mark Twain The equinox has come and gone which means Spring is [...]

Sunshine After the Rain

March 15, 2012

Sometimes I’m guilty of letting life pass me by in a blur of work, commuting, meal prep, and a million other tiny tasks. It can be hard in the everyday grind to remember to stop and appreciate the little things. Which is why I’ve decided to start a new series called “Thankful Thursday.” Every week [...]

Spectacular British Columbia II

March 13, 2012

Hello friends!!!! Today, I was the featured blogger over at the Balance Project’s, Great Canadian Blogger Series. The series is the brain-child of Heidi, the girl behind Balance Project, and it’s designed to familiarize readers with the different parts of Canada.

Rocking it Bombay Style at the Shangri-La, Vancouver

March 6, 2012

Confession? I’ve been known to get down Bollywood style once or twice! I mean, what’s not to love!?! The bling is always rocking, the music infectious, the make-up fantastic, and the eyebrows to die for! Seriously, when have you ever seen a Bollywood starlet rock anything but absolutely manicured brows? The answer is you haven’t. And [...]

Tunes to Groove to Tuesday

February 28, 2012

In the last little while I’ve rediscovered the joys of dancing to a favourite song in my living room! There’s something crazy freeing about grooving like no one is watching, when the truth of the matter is that there are probably dozens of condos that have a view of the show! But no worries, it’s [...]

Triple D Comes to Vancouver: Meat and Bread

February 25, 2012

I have to confess, when trying to come up with this post I was tempted to throw up the pictures and say “There was meat. There was bread. And it was GOOD!” Because honestly that would sum it all up right there but to be fair there is more of a back story to this [...]

A Birthday 10K in Stanley Park

February 13, 2012

The Husband and I have officially been residents of Vancouver for about a month and a half now. So you’d probably assume that during that time we’ve grown accustomed to our new home. That it had lost it’s novelty. That I would be ready to stop gushing about how beautiful it is. And while that [...]

Soirette Macarons & Tea – a welcome addition to the Vancouver food scene

January 30, 2012

Food is much like fashion – what’s popular changes over time. As far as desserts are concerned, for years now it’s been all about the cupcake. Well it’s time for the miniature cakes to step aside for the French macaron. Nowadays, you can scarcely turn a corner in a large North American city without bumping [...]

Surely there’s a Miley Cyrus Song in this Post

January 28, 2012

Let’s face it, one of the reasons that people love blogs is for the voyeuristic quality. They allow you to learn quite a bit about a person that would otherwise be a stranger. And possibly even get to know them. But don’t worry, enjoying blogs for that reason doesn’t make you creepy. It makes you normal. [...]

Actually, I CAN.

January 23, 2012

For the past two weeks I have been working through my lunch times. It’s not a good habit and I’m not proud. But it’s the truth. There’s nothing healthy about barely getting up over the course of eight hours. A body is not designed to remain at rest for that long. Even a walk around [...]
