I love Bumble. Not for finding a date because I swiped right on love two years ago and I hit the jackpot. I love Bumble because they believe in the power of women. In a world where dating, networking, and even finding friends online means wading through a sea of harassment, pictures of eggplants (that no one asked for), and…
You, better believe it, buddy! This summer Toronto has a brand new pop-up bar, a pop-up bar about nothing. Rumour is you’ll even be given a bro and a pair of white Nike sneakers upon entry (I might have made that up). The pop-up bar is set to open with a launch party on July 15 somewhere near Dundas and Dufferin,…
When the big ex and I broke up in 2009, I was just starting to transition from account executive to community manager; so while social media was relatively new to my professional life I was already deeply involved in the space on a personal level. That break-up was one of the worst I’ve ever been through. He cheated. I was…
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…
As most of you know, I love my job, I really, really do. I get to spend my days talking to new people, coming up with strategy and tweeting lyrics (OK, that only happened once). But overall I’m really lucky to be able to work in such a cool environment. This past summer I went from Toronto for the MMVAs,…

I want to go an entire year without hearing that someone I love is fighting for their life against this brutal illness. I want to see my friends and family who are currently suffering go into remission and live…
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…
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…
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…
