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…
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…
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…
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…
View the Pizza
Boyfriend and I were supposed to head off on a romantic weekend on Friday courtesy of Charming Media and Viamede Resort – that isn’t quite what happened though. Due to an issue with Discount Car and Truck Rental we weren’t able to get our rental Friday night and we didn’t make it to the resort – don’t worry though we’re…
27: Crossroad Blues
I love movies and I love comics made into movies – not just because I have a massive crush on Robert Downey Jr either. But more than both of those things I really love supporting the people in my life who are doing great things… So I would like to invite you to check out the crowdfunding campaign for 27: Crossroad…
