Last night was date night for Boyfriend and I; we try and see each other as much as we can but with busy lives and jobs that’s a little more difficult during the week and requires a little extra planning. Thanks to Eligible Magazine who ran a contest, that I won, a couple weeks ago we had $100 gift card to spend…
#BeerMe
Yesterday I hit up Toronto’s Festival of Beer, as it is formally and officially known, with Yaw and Nus when we arrived we ran into several more friends including the lovely Ashley, the gorgeous Shankell and the somewhat elusive Reggie. So right away the event was off to a pretty excellent start, especially since I was wearing my cowboy boots and humming…
Gluten Free Pasta Salad
Recently I’ve gone gluten free, not by choice bread is amazing, due to some serious reactions and not-so-fun face hives – seriously I get FACE HIVES. The pain of not eating delicious French bread aside I am trying to embrace and accommodate my new found allergy. In the summer one of my favourite things to eat, aside from BBQ, are…
The To Do List
Last night Boyfriend and I went to an advance screening of eOne Films’ latest exercise in genius, The To Do List. Thanks to a Facebook contest we were able to see the film a full week before opening day. Woot! I’m not going to include any major spoilers here, because mean, but I will say that The To Do List…
The Little Things
This has been a weekend of bad news, terrible news and tragic news both on a personal level and a global level. My bi0-dad continues to attempt to make contact with me despite my pleas that he leave me alone, the Zimmerman trial was supposed to have a very different outcome and sometimes it all just seems like a little…
Karma isn’t Just for Redditors
For those of you that know me well, you know how sick my mum has been and you probably know how upset I’ve been that I can’t see her right now having JUST started a new job and being in a tight financial position due to a month of funemployment. So I’ve been worried about my mum A LOT but…
Starting Fresh
If you know me well, you know that the past month has been difficult to say the least. I started a new job at Twitter Canada in May but it wasn’t quite the fit I thought it would be, especially since I’m a confirmed twitter addict, so we parted ways and I started hunting for a job in the wonderful…
An Open Letter to Male Pick up ‘Artists’
Dear PUA, I hate you. Most women hate you. Those that don’t hate you probably haven’t met you yet and simply don’t know that they hate you, but they do; because you’re a gross man-child who believe that ‘men’s rights’ need to exist and uses the word desire freely in sentences. Please, please, please stop using the word desire, “I…
Five Years Ago
Five years ago today you left this world, I found out two days later on my phone when a Facebook message from a mutual friend came in, it had been two months since we’d spoken but I always thought of you and knew that if anything happened I could call you… I’m writing a book about you and I and…
#VoteYaw for #GilletteDrafted
I LOVE sports, specifically hockey, but I’m a huge sports fan in general, except soccer, but that’s a different story; so when I saw that my lovely friend Yaw had auditioned for #GilletteDrafted I decided I had to share his fantastic audition video with you lovely folks. All you have to do to help him make it to the next round…
