Review: Made By Hand Show
Mom and I went out this dreary day to check out the annual Made by Hand Show in Mississauga. For only $2 entry fee it’s one of the more reasonably-priced shows this time of year for crafty things. I mostly wanted to go to see if I could find any new artists to bring on […]

Slimband update: 2 years later
This has been on my mind quite a lot lately. Weight loss, getting healthy, getting happy. The emails keep coming in from readers regarding my lap-band procedure. I’m currently in talks with a different clinic for some additional post-op care (yes it’s been 2 years but I still need help!) and I wanted to review […]

Back in the saddle
I missed this, I really did! I’ve been composing blog posts in my head for weeks, perhaps even months but just never sat down to do anything. Life has been a whirlwind and I’m going through life & personal changes again. I think I needed that break from blogging to fully live my life rather […]

A Difficult Day
Today was one hell of a day. The past few weeks have actually been pretty…off. I guess the biggest thing that has been bothering me is my day job. They dissolved our group and made us apply again for our own jobs making us jump through a bunch of hoops for them. And I just […]

What it’s like: Running a B&B from your home
I have been hosting/renting out my extra space online for about 2 years so far. I guess I’m like a cross between and upscale hostel and B&B and a great hotel alternative! (Even though I’m a B&B I don’t actually offer breakfast… LOL) Business is booming and after a move to a larger location and […]

My Deck is Now a Pool
Luna is getting some serious cat business done and I’m sitting down to write this post. It’s not exactly how I had planned to spend my day off, but all my plans for today are fuzzed due to the torrential rains outside! Weather in Canada is always a good topic of conversation, but this is […]

Hosting Benefit = Tarte Tatin
One of the things I love about being a B&B host is that I get to learn a lot about the cultures of my guests (and by culture I primarily mean food). A perfect example being the past 10 days. I’ve had 2 awesome women staying with me from France and we’ve become good friends […]

Hello, World!
Hey guys! It’s been a while! I needed a bit of a break and ran out of things to talk about. But now I’m back on a part-time basis. There’s a lot of catching up to do! I guess the biggest update is that I moved to a new apartment. An upgrade, to be exact. […]

Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful…
Look what I got in the mail today! Courtesy of KitchenAid Canada, I’ll be testing out the new 13-Cup Food Processor this holiday season, and I can’t wait! I have been lusting after it ever since I got the email. I LOVE KitchenAid products because they’re so well-made and stylish. I invested in a professional […]

Annabelle/Marcelle Beauty Premiere
Last Thursday was pretty awesome, I got to check out the spring 2012 launch of the new Annabelle & Marcelle products. Even though they’re an entry-level brand, I still like these products. They give great value for what you pay and they also don’t cost an arm and a leg! I also like that they’re […]
