Coach‘s transitional/fall collection is slowly making its appearance in the boutiques and online, despite the very hot weather outside. I recently received an email from them introducing me to Chelsea, one of their latest collections. This was also the featured collection on their website when they launched a few weeks ago. Chelsea has a very […]
I consider myself quite lucky to have had exposure to different types of cuisine, especially “real” or “authentic” versions of “ethnic foods.” However, what I find very interesting is how different names are applied to North Americanized “ethnic” foods, depending on the type of restaurant and how it is presented. Take Chinese food, for example. […]
Make-up is part of a typical North American’s beauty routine. Some own a lot of make-up, while others have tiny collections. Some have lots of different colours, while others have fewer. I’m somewhere in the middle. In any case, what a woman owns probably tells people a lot about her. Judging from my collection, you’d […]
I have a particular fondness for good salads. Salads are not just for the health conscious, they are a blank canvas to showcase any flavour combinations you like. The best salads combine a variety of colours, flavours, and textures. The more colourful and textured a salad is, the more interesting it becomes! My mixed green […]
I read a lot of style blogs, many of which are based in the US. I’m sometimes jealous of what these writers can buy, since so many online stores either don’t deliver north of the border (nor do they take Canadian credit cards – looking at you, Ann Taylor and Cole Haan) or charge an […]

This wonderful new space is La Société Bistro, a French-inspired bistro/brasserie brought to you by so-called “nightclub king,” Charles Khabouth, known for such places as the […]
San Diego, the second largest city in the State of California, has a myriad of tourist attractions, from trips to Sea World or Balboa Park, a stroll on Coronado Beach or a visit to the annual comic book convention, Comic-Con. A visit to nearby La Jolla and the city’s Gaslamp district also provides two very […]
I’m always amazed at people’s book collections. I’ve been to homes where people have books that have been passed down from generation to generation – some even have books that go back to the 19th century. These books are sometimes stored in regular, modern bookshelves, but the ones that are in old, woody rooms with […]
Note from Webitor: The weather has been absolutely hot these past few days and many people may be looking to cool off. Blender drinks often come to mind. Recently, I was sent some delicious recipes representatives of Black & Decker that are great for entertaining or just chilling with the family. Fruity and healthy, they […]
