January 22 was the VIP party for this year’s Interior Design Show. It was, as usual, an amazing event, where guests were able to see all of the booths before “public” viewing on Saturday, such as modern creations at Studio North, up close with Stone Forest’s tubs and sinks, and, of course, enjoy delicious food […]
I couldn’t believe it when I read the piece on Lucky Magazine’s website. This HAS to be a joke. Of course, it could very well be (since it was seen on social media), but if it isn’t, then those women aren’t worthy of wearing Lilly. The stereotypical demographic of Lilly Pulitzer wearers tends to be […]
On the second episode, the mystery ingredients were as follows: If challah (or any kind of bread) is in the mystery ingredients box for dessert, DO NOT make certain items Starter: Peanut butter cookie dough, boudin blanc (pork and liver, a kind of sausage), epazoete (minty flavoured herb) and zucchini Main: Frozen waffles, fish heads, […]
IDS, also known as the Interior Design Show, is back for another year, opening to the public on Saturday, January 24 and Sunday, January 25 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. One of the many vendors at the event will be New Mexico-based Stone Forest, known for their artistic looking kitchen and bathroom sinks, bathtubs […]
As a member of the Canadian Opera Company‘s (COC) Ensemble Circle, I had the opportunity to attend last night’s announcement of the COC’s upcoming season. I have to admit that I am very excited. Many old favourites are back, as are new productions, including Pyramus and Thisbe, an opera by Canadian composer Barbara Monk Feldman […]
I am NOT surprised about this. They had a dismal holiday season and as a whole, never bothered to learn our culture. Also, not having e-commerce DID NOT help (though us complaining about prices probably wasn’t that great either. EVERYTHING is more expensive here, not just Target. How come we don’t hear about people complaining […]
I recently had the opportunity to take a complimentary barre class at the newly opened, spacious barre3 studio on King Street, west of University. Unlike other barre programs across the city, barre3 only has one type of class and follows an approach created by Sadie Lincoln, who started the first studio in 2008 with her […]
Last season, I recapped every single episode of Chopped Canada. For season 2 (which premiered over the weekend), rather than doing the same, I’ve decided to write about what I might make with one of the mystery boxes. The mystery boxes in the first episode consisted of the following: Kataifi Appetizer: Cherry drink mix, ground […]
As a lifestyle blogger, my topics tend to stray on the light side, talking about food, fashion, travel and the like. In other words, I am not a satirist. Probably the closest thing to “controversy” I ever write about are topics on body image (because I tend not to agree with many activists), feminism and […]
This was announced earlier this week, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you want to be more relevant. I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Coach in probably a year or more. I don’t dislike the brand, and I admit that I’ve wandered into boutiques just to look. It’s just that […]
