Last Friday was International Women’s Day: a day dedicated to celebrating women and their achievements both today and throughout history, the world over.

Last weekend, Luc and I took a trip to Kingston so that I could exchange something I had bought online from Lululemon (you can say whatever you want – I love them. Love them so much, in fact, that I didn’t care about driving 45 minutes to another town just to visit the store. Whatever, read more

If there was one thing I noticed about this week, it’s that most people seemed to have had a rough one. Tweets, Facebook statuses and, yes, even real life conversations (GASP!) seemed to carry with them an unmistakable air of melancholy.

Remember way back when I made that post about Jason Mraz and said that I’d be doing a follow-up? Well, in light of his recent wins (Plural! Yay! Much overdue!) on Sunday night at the Grammys, I figured now was a good time to bring it all back around. Yes, Mr. A-Z has, after over read more
second-chances and reinvention

I tweeted about this earlier today but I still thought it was worth dedicating more that 140 characters to. It was officially announced today that speed skater, Clara Hughes will be Canada’s flag-bearer for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver next month. The Toronto Star published this article detailing her transition from troubled teen to role-model read more
