Centre Stage, the annual competition for cash and places in the Canadian Opera Company’s prestigious Ensemble Studio will be held tonight, November 25, 2014. Seven finalists, all dressed to the nines, will be competing for spots and last Friday, I had the wonderful opportunity to observe the pieces that the finalists tried on (you may […]
The 6th Annual Frocktail Party held at the stunning Arcadian Loft raised $100,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

Yes, it’s for real (brand name is MerloCola) and it’s one of the many exhibitors at this year’s Gourmet Food and Wine Expo. I tried it and have to admit that it was quite…interesting. While the small sample was good, I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have a full serving. I think I’m a […]
“Nothing like the great outdoors,” as the saying goes. But while there is a lot to be said for getting back to nature, there are definitely some drawbacks. For all the fresh air that a wilderness excursion provides, there is also the possibility of encounters with bugs, bears, not to mention a complete lack of […]

For those of you who follow me on social media, you might have seen many of the pictures! While many of the exhibitors at the event […]
I can’t make myself wear “chunky” jewellery, including big necklaces, earrings and definitely NOT huge rings. This is YEARS after I graduated from high school! In fact, I STILL consider them tacky. I can’t get the “shower curtain earrings” lecture the Head at my school gave in chapel years ago. It’s often nasty and it’s […]
The holiday season is coming up, and it’s a time about giving, not receiving. Sure, as kids, we made long lists to our parents’ dismay, but at school and other youth-related activities, we were also given the opportunity to help.
