Look up! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a gargoyle? Some travellers like to take photos of doors, some prefer the all-selfie route, but for me, my favourite perspective looks skyward. Inside or out, there’s nothing like looking up at your surroundings. And looking up is such an optimistic thing, isn’t it? There’s just a hopeful feeling … [Read more]
Greetings from DC, land of the free, home of the brave and currently run by the clinically insane. When I mentioned to people our Girls Trip was tackling DC this year, the eyebrows raised and the expressions were puzzled. See that famous guy in the gif there? Yeah, that’s the face; I saw it often. But for our group … [Read more]
Because, if it is, you’re in for a treat today. Earlier this week, I was drinking my umpteenth London Fog with my colleague Lindsay at High Tea and I said something like “I seriously have an Earl Grey addiction. I should write about it.” And here we are. I’ve been a fan of the Earl since … [Read more]
Look, I’m going to finally admit it, I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to fashion. Home decor, yes, I get it, I have a sense of what I’m accomplishing, plus being artistic and creative are kinda my thing. But clothes, accessories, trying to put an outfit together that doesn’t scream, “I’M UNAWARE OF … [Read more]
When you write a post for a company and they don’t like it, but you still kind of do. ? A media company approached me recently to submit a sample article for a Milliennial (22 to 37) audience. They provided the event and I was told to capture the essence of it. I missed the mark (they … [Read more]
As the ridiculously cheesy house signs say…home is where the heart is. And 16 years ago this month, I took possession of a teeny-tiny bungalow in one of Winnipeg’s most notorious neighbourhoods and it’s had a grasp on my heart ever since. When I first bought this little gem, it had a beige living room (lamé!), … [Read more]
Three amazing adventures happened in 2015. I flew to Maui with my best friends, hit up San Francisco with my mom and sisters, and spent a weekend in Eastern Canada with my love. I so enjoy making these photo books year after year. Working on them is a labour of love, they take forever to put together, but … [Read more]
On a sunny day in Lahaina, my bro found us a boat and took us out on the turquoise waters to spy whales, swim with the fishes and imbibe Mai Tais. It was pretty sweet.
Do you sometimes think your tech device is getting to know you a little too well? Like freakishly so? This actually came across my mind on the last day of my latest travel adventure to Maui — one of the prettiest and relaxing places in the world. Trust me. On this particular visit, I found myself … [Read more]
Sometimes we become so comfortable in sending out our stories on the same old channel, in the same old way, that we forget to focus on how people want to see it or interact with it. It’s like putting up a website and hoping people visit it because you think they should, and, you know, you worked really … [Read more]
Let’s face it, 2016 is a bit of a dud. A few of our biggest icons passed away (RIP Bowie, Prince, Snape), the climate keeps showing us who’s boss and looks pretty much fine with getting rid of us humans all-together. Then we finished it off watching one of the nastiest political campaigns ever, which, even after the … [Read more]
Autumn. It’s such a lovely time of year, isn’t it? Yes, we have mornings that arrive a little too crisp, giving us Winnipeggers that instant worry about early snow. (Step off snow, it’s not your time yet.) And yes, darkness seems to descend upon our streets way too quickly each evening. Yet, this season also brings us an abundance … [Read more]
In the dark. Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart. You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before you make it. You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes. You’re paralyzed. You’re paralyzed because “Chuck of the Corn” just leapt out of at you, scaring you witless, provoking … [Read more]
“I solemnly swear I am up to no good.” And for seven fun evenings, our little Harry Potter Night ⚡️ club upheld that Marauders Map oath to whip up a silly bit o’ magic together. So, as I write about our last HPN night, with a slight lump in my throat, I got to thinking, “Why was this so much … [Read more]
This might be the point where content marketing goes into full “jump the shark” mode. I mean, I’ve seen about 40 content marketing think pieces comparing it to everything under the sun — and that’s in just one week! So, how do you add your two cents without it A) disappearing in the crush, or B) being super … [Read more]
