It’s been WAY too long since I’ve written here, I’m sorry for that, but 30 has been a really tough year. In 28 days, I’ll be 31-years-old, and I’m making a promise to myself that 31 will be better than 30. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had some incredible moments in the past year, I went to Jamaica with the…
I’ll be 30 this fall, that feels like a big deal, at least it does to me – it’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I LOVE birthdays, I can get a little extra when it comes to celebrating and gifting. As I approach the end of my twenties, I find myself thinking about what the past decade…
Working in an ad agency can be incredibly rewarding, I still get giddy when I see something I worked on covered in the press or just existing out there in the real world, but it can also be incredibly taxing and it often means lunch is super quick and maybe not so healthy. I’ve been trying to eat really well…
Today was the day, finally, I woke up at 6 AM and waited 23 minutes for my alarm to go off. Today was my version of Christmas, today I got to meet the sloths at the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica. It was everything. Today was the best day of my life. Today was my first kiss, my first time…
This blog is my space, I tell a lot of stories here, I talk about a lot of things. I’ve been open about my politics, my not-so-familial relationship with my bio-dad, and my relationships; those are the things I’m not afraid to talk to you about, those are the things I can be strong about. When I write about my…
I’m a proud feminist. That’s no secret, I believe men and women deserve equal treatment. Simple. As. That. But if you need more explanation about feminism, click play and listen to Laci Green explain why we should ALL be feminists. So I’m incensed that a man who advocates for legal rape, believes that feminists should be converted (WTF?), and calls…
Dear readers, today is March 18 and this is my first blog of the year, I’ve been remiss in my blogging. How great is the word remiss, by the way? It’s super great. So what’s been going on? The short version is simple, life; life has been going on and I’ve been too busy dealing with it to spend much…
It’s been a busy couple of weeks so when it came time for World Mastercard Fashion Week in Toronto, I was only able to make it out for a few shows. My favourite of the week was Rachel Sin’s beautiful ready-to-wear line. Rachel’s line is perfect for the busy urban woman; whether you’re heading to a meeting or a date…
It’s not easy to talk about abuse. People look at you funny. To your face they say, “Oh, poor dear.” and “I’m so sorry.” Which feels like a platitude or the words of someone who simply doesn’t understand. Behind your back they say, “I wonder what she did?” and “I bet she was drunk.” Which reminds me that somehow what…
Are you tired of spending date nights doing dinner and a movie? Try something new this weekend and head over to the Everything To Do With Sex Show at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto. The show starts tomorrow and goes all weekend long! I’ve been a couple times and while I always walk in a little nervous. What if…
