One of my favourite shopping ‘events’ of the year is just days away. The winter edition of the One of a Kind Show runs from November 22nd to December 2nd at the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto. This show and sale is my idea of the perfect day of shopping some of the very best in handmade goods that Canadian Artisans have to offer.
Sleep. We all need it. But what happens when your body begins changing and you’re longer drifting off into a night of blissful slumber like you once did? Or you are able to drift off successfully, but wake often during the night, once…twice…three times, until you lie on your pillow in frustration wondering what the actual fuck is happening here?
Some of you might find this statement rather shocking coming from me, but alas sometimes words don’t come to me. Call it ‘writers block’ if that’s a term that’s more familiar and it definitely sums up the feeling…but I prefer to simply say ‘the words just aren’t coming”.
This is the first year in a very long time that I'm not skipping around the house pretending I'm the person in the Staples "It's the most Wonderful time of the Year" commercial. (BTW, whoever created that commercial is a genius). In fact this year I'm feeling downright low.
There's something so wrong, yet so right about sitting on a beach with your computer. Hey, if you have work to do...or just want to do some reading - just do it, who cares what people think.
Last night I went to a book signing with Rachel Hollis, lifestyle blogger, mom, author and all round super cool chick. At one point in her talk she mentioned that she only has a high school diploma, no post secondary education and yet here she is, writing a book and getting it done.
Lately I'm all about 'fast casual' dining. Fast casual is not fast food. I'm not talking about whether I prefer a Big Mac or a Whopper here, but if pressed - I would choose the Big Mac. That special sauce after all.
One of the items on my 'fashion bucket list' - yes, that's a thing...is a Dianne Von Furstenburgh (DVF) wrap dress. DVF designed this iconic dress in 1974 - and it's been a classic ever since. It has literally have never gone out of style.
