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…
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…
#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…
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…
#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…
N9NE Gala
In two weeks I’ll be attending the N9NE Gala for The Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund, you should join me. The Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund is a charity that helps breast cancer patients deal with the financial implications of their diagnosis; the physical strain of the disease is terrible enough but even in Canada were we have universal healthcare the financial…
Friend of a Friend Matchmaking
Before I met Boyfriend I tried the online dating thing, only for a bit, and I never found anyone that was worth keeping around, ever. This isn’t to say that online dating doesn’t work because I actually know a lovely couple that met on e-harmony who just celebrated their 1 year anniversary AS A MARRIED COUPLE; so online dating can…
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…
