Some Amazing Janes Walks Happening in the West End of Toronto This Year

March 18, 2019 No Comments

It is that time of year again. Jane’s Walk time! A great way to enjoy the outdoors, connect and reconnect with new and old friends, all the while learning a tidbit or two about a community. Many of us have been on pub crawls, grabbing a pint at a handful of restaurants or bars over the course of an evening or weekend. Apply the same concept to Jane’s Walks. Hundreds of walks are planned t ... >

Statement Wall at Bar Neon

May 15, 2017 No Comments

So this on/off spring and summer weather that Mother Nature keeps teasing us with really needs to stop. For one thing, it can’t be good for global warming. In a few years, we will have probably done some serious damage to the ecosystem and it may not be pretty. Second point to mention is that many of us are more likely to get sick. This hot and cold back and forth-ness is just too much to ha ... >

Don’t Be Razorless in Cuba

March 9, 2017 No Comments

I’m a workaholic. I’ll admit that. I take my job(s) very seriously and always want to make everyone happy. But JW convinced me (and I secretly wanted to go to hot destination) to go to Cuba. And so in mid February we booked an almost week long vacation for some fun in the sun. Why Cuba? White sand, crystal clear water and blue skies. What more could you want? When you need to be ... >

Mac and Cheese – Yes Please!

February 17, 2017 1 Comment

Do you ever get into those moods where you are hungry and know you should eat but don’t now what to eat? Laziness often kicks in and the thought of making a ruckus in the kitchen just doesn’t sound like a good time. I am not a good cook by any means, so these feelings and thoughts cross my mind quite often. I have learned to discover my neighbourhood more and am finding out which place ... >

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to check out a fantastic new spot in Liberty Village , strategically named Liberty Commons. Did you catch their play on words there ;)! What is Liberty Commons Main entrance to Liberty Commons at 42 Liberty St. P ... >

It’s Ok to be a Grey Thinker

January 6, 2017 2 Comments

One that was always preached at Aritzia during my 10 year stint with them, was that everyone had to more of a “grey thinker”. Being too black and white could be detrimental. Truthfully, I do believe in this. There are moments when it is required to be a very decisive decision maker and must adhere to specific rules, regulations, policies and legislation. Om the other hand, being a R ... >

Photo of the Stendig Calendar on the wall.

There is something re-fereshing about starting something new. Writing on the first page of a crisp, new notebook. Taking the first gulp of a freshly poured drink. Wearing a new coveted fashion piece for its inaugural appearance. And yes, even starting a new year with a brand new unmarked calendar is magical! Finally! Man it was a hard thing to find, but I have gotten my hands on a Stendig calendar ... >

Christmas Socks Instead of Christmas Sweaters

December 20, 2016 1 Comment

The Holiday season is one of my most favourite times of the year. It’s special because it marks a time of when many of us reconnect and catch up on things we have done throughout the year. To add an element to the fun, I decided to throw in the idea of Christmas sweaters, you know, the ugly Christmas ones? My idea was faced with a lot of protest, so we compromised on Christmas socks instead. My ... >

East Coast Love for Halifax

December 20, 2016 2 Comments

We truly are not fulfilling our patriotic duty as a Canadian citizen if we have not experienced our country from coast to coast. In my younger years, I had the privilege of going to the west coast on a couple of family trips to visit Victoria. While completing store manager training with Aritzia, I was flown out to Vancouver to their Support Office. I have lived in Ottawa and visited Montreal a ha ... >
