#MeetMotoX

Yesterday evening I joined several friends at the #MeetMotoX launch party for the all-new Moto X from Motorola. I’m a huge fan of Motorola and Android, last year I was gifted a Motorola RAZR at a similar event and I still use it to this day. I’ve gotten in more than one fight with friends and Apple fanboys alike about…

Facebook Listens… No Really!

Today Facebook announced that promotions on brand pages no longer have to be administered via an app! Woot! This is great news and I may have definitely sent an all staff encouraging my team members to rejoice and toast things with libations. In other news I’m incapable of announcing anything in any way other than the most dorky of ways.…

Project AK-47

Let me start with a note: This post has nothing to do with guns, gun violence or my opinions on guns it is so named because Anna Kendrick’s twitter handle happens to be @AnnaKendrick47; so there you go I’m not talking about anything important, read on at your own risk. Now, you’ve all seen those videos that instantly go viral,…

Shiny Things

Jewellery is one of my favourite things; I don’t have much that I wear daily aside from my claddagh ring  and a seashell necklace that I bought off Etsy, because I love the ocean, but last month I won a bracelet on the Jeff Morrison Fine Jewellery Facebook page. Today my brand new favourite shiny thing arrived, the piece is…

The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Reading is one of my favourite activities which is probably strange for a loud, bouncing girl who hates to sit still but it is. Today I FINALLY found a store that wasn’t sold out of Neil Gaiman‘s latest novel, Ocean at the End of the Lane, it’s mine now; at least it will be until I share it with my best…

TIFF is Almost Here…

I love movies and parties and pretending I’m super fabulous and totally glamorous when in reality I’m a tiny girl who sneezes like a cartoon character and is often described as awkward… thanks to Zoey Deschanel awkward is now charming. Seriously girl I owe you a solid for that one. But as fabulous as all the parties are what I’m…

Let’s Take a Trip

Have you been following along this summer? Then you know that things have been tough, really tough, but instead of whining about it again I’m trying to plan something that I can be excited about.  Life is really busy right now; I’m still new to my strategy role at my new shop, Boyfriend is moving into a new apartment, I’m writing for…

Blogger Envy

Blogger envy is a real thing and it’s kind of terrible. When you think about it we’re all pretty damn lucky; we go to incredible parties, get free products and experience amazing things all because someone values our opinion enough to literally hand it to us. I still have friends in Kingston and one of them asked me recently if…

I Know it’s Today…

Last Friday Yaw and I headed to the east end for yet another wonderful Ashley Gibson cabaret style show, this one about her dating life; having heard some of these stories over brunch (mimosas) I knew the show would be stellar and I was really glad that I was able to make it. I love Ashley’s shows, I love how…
