Remember when boyfriend and I disappeared to Viamede? Remember the food? I practically wrote sonnets about the food. With the long weekend upon us I started tweeting with the lovely folks at Viamede only to discover that they have some serious specials going on for the long weekend. The spa is back up and running, which I know Boyfriend and…

The Dating Contract
This is a repost from my Women’s Post column, published every Thursday at Women’s Post online, but a friend was looking for this particular piece and since I wrote it over a year ago it’s really hard to find so enjoy a little crazy on this warm Thursday afternoon. Dating is hard, especially around Valentine’s Day when single sounds like…
Dear Mum…
Dear Mum, I won’t be home on Mother’s Day this year, I won’t even be in the country because I’ll be flying off to a new opportunity an opportunity that wouldn’t ever have been possible without your unwavering faith and support. I want to thank you, no I mean really thank you, from the time I was born you’ve told…
VERSAY Wine Launch
On Monday the lovely Anne and I headed to Rock Lobster Food Co. for the VERSAY Wine on tap launch party. It was pretty incredible besides the excellent food and company… I had no idea wine on tap could actually taste good. There were 8 wines available to taste but I have to say, as a red gal, the Washington blend…
Sex & Politics
If you’re a friend of mine, you follow me on twitter or you read this blog you probably know that I’m a fairly liberal gal; I dislike Rob Ford and his politics, I have a political crush on Justin Trudeau and I’m incredibly pro-choice. Earlier this afternoon I tweeted, what I thought, was a mildly amusing comment about Rob Ford…
#SXSWi
SXSW is amazing. Seriously, why aren’t you here? Next year it is your job to convince whoever you work for that you should be here. Think up a plan now. Yesterday I listened to Brian Chesky in a fireside chat at the Hilton and I’m pretty sure I’m in love with him, business wise, he’s a genius of course but…
Sorry, Sorry, Sorry
Is it just me or do we all apologize too damn much? I don’t mean apologizing for bumping into someone or saying something rude or forgetting a birthday; I mean the way we apologize for feeling things or the way we apologize because we think those feelings may possibly have offended someone in some way or another. I’m one of…
Movie Dates FTW
Last week the lovely team at Environics PR asked me if I would be interested in being their relationship expert for a Netflix PR campaign; obviously I told them I’d be thrilled. So this week we’re working with the press to remind couples that a great night at home can be the best kind of date night. I’ll be at Love…
I’m A Slut…
At least by your standards I am. Probably. I lost track of the number of guys that I’ve slept with a long time ago but I only stopped caring recently. In the past couple of months I’ve realized a few things… but the most important? My sex life is none of your damn business. My sex life does not define…
Twitter isn’t Made of Hugs
Twitter is one of my favourite places in the world, I’ve met some of my best friends there, Dan Levy the #BoyBestie, Jen Lui, Stephanie Fusco and Shannon Kelly to name a few a very few… I haven’t even listed Jon Crowley and he should never go unmentioned; right Jon? But this week the Toronto Police announced that they had pressed charges…
