Last night I posted the first in a series of #YesAllWomen stories, this is the second in that series by the lovely, kind, brilliant and incredibly talented Christine Estima. Sexual harassment has been a constant in my adult life, but if I’m being honest, it didn’t start with adulthood. As a child I would walk home from school along a…

#YesAllWomen
Over the course of the weekend the hashtag, #YesAllWomen, has trended, inspired and encouraged conversation among women across the world. Over the coming days I’ve asked some of my favourite women, Christine Estima, Tiffany Heimpel and Amanda Lynne Ballard, to share their #YesAllWomen stories but before I do that I have to share MY story. I can’t remember the first…
Everything is Awesome!
“Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you’re part of a team!” The Tegan and Sara ft Lonely Island LEGO Movie anthem was my theme song for the weekend. It all started with a hair cut by Greg May on Friday morning, we discussed going grey/lavender but time constraints meant that my colour would have to wait until the next time…
Emily Letts Is My Hero
It’s never been a secret that I’m pro-choice, I’ve blogged about that before and it’s no secret to anyone that I’ve also had an abortion before, in fact I’ve had two. They weren’t fun but neither is being a parent to a child that you don’t want and can’t afford. I’m not ashamed that I’ve had an abortion it was a…
Summer Is Coming
This morning I walked to work in a white dress and a leather jacket, I even wore my favourite Roberto Cavalli sunglasses, and I had a little extra jump in my step probably because it was sunny and beautiful and I can finally see the end of the dark tunnel that was winter 2014. The weather app on my phone…
Trind Nail Repair
At the beginning of April I received a package from Charming Media with a supply of Trind nail repair products and at first I was dubious; my nails are notoriously weak and when they start to crack I almost ALWAYS start to peel them off. But after a few short weeks of treating my nails with the Moisturizing Nail Balsam and the…
MarketELLE
Montreal’s Marketel launched Marketelle today, elle is French for ladies you see, a female focused devision within the agency that they claim will create better ads for women. At first this sounds kind of great there have been a LOT of terrible ads and products marketed at women in the past couple of years and almost all of them have…
Gym Time With Jason
I took a small break from my personal blog last month; #LoveAHeart tired me out, I’ve got a fairly new gig running social for an awesome brand, I’ve been having a blast blogging for View The Vibe and I’ve been spending every Wednesday night working out with Jason Battiste. For the couple of months I’ve been working out every Wednesday…
The Valentine’s Day Video
I once described myself as, the girl who falls in love, because I was and I still am. I love falling in love; the butterflies, the stolen kisses but the very first time he says, “I love you.” that is what I live for. So when my friend shared this video with me from the lovely folks at BizMedia I felt…
