Very seldom do I write about good things or things that make me happy, but after feeling a little shitty tonight, I decided to find some new music that I could sit and smoke cigarettes too. After surfing iTunes and finding nothing but shit, like sell out Madonna, the gold album of Juno (which I [...]

I write about this because yesterday I was walking to work - it started to POUR. I have no umbrella with me and no store in sight in which to purchase one. I finally found a drug store and went in. The cheapest umbrella as $39.99 and it was simple, small and black. I don’t [...]

So, the big hot trend right now? Trying to find a way to replace your Fiji, Evian and possibly Nalgene bottle with something not only more eco friendly, but also human friendly. Living in Canada, our tap water has been proven to be just as good as bottled water, but we are STILL paying more [...]

Was sent this cool pic. Took me a minute to figure if I loved it, and I do. I like anything that is made into something it is not supposed to be. This is the suitcase chair. BeDesign, Turkish company behind the pieces has come up with an innovative way to use what the Salvation [...]

How friggin cool are these things? I always strive to make me living space seem like a Zen Garden - these would do it. Plush rocks that are nice and soft and cuddly - look how much the kids like them! I would put a bunch of these together with real rocks and then tell [...]

We don’t like plastic bags to begin with - RIGHT? Unfortunately, they exist and people use them - why? I don’t know - stupidity I assume. I forgot my re-usable bags last night at the market and instead of making the easy choice of plastic bags, I actually put some items back and carried the [...]

Talk about jumping on the band wagon a FULL YEAR behind, but I write anyways. I watched Little Miss Sunshine for the first time this past weekend and I have fallen in love. This is BY FAR, one of my favourite movies of the year (well, respectiviely speaking, 2006/2007) and quite possibly in my Top [...]

Not gonna lie - like lululemon clothes - they are extremely comfortable and tuck in all the right places making your ass look like something everyone on the street wants to take a bite out of; however, this recent article in the New York Times exposes a little secret they have been hiding.

I know it has become sooo trendy to walk around with your bottle of water or sip on FIJI water to show that you are truly fashionable, but its time we stop to think about the repercussions of such actions. Federal Law in Canada and the US does NOT require bottled water to go through [...]

LISTEN UP - pay attention! Whether you choose to be a stink toe, tree hugging hippy or not is your choice, but regardless of what you think we are killing this earth. A year ago, I couldn’t give a shit about the earth or the ozone or global warming - I didn’t eat granola, and my [...]
