desire, crave, wish for, want…
Growing up, I wasn't much of a sporty girl, (dare I say a girly, girl?) I was usually last when chosen for sports, and I definitely wasn't climbing trees, I still can't do a cartwheel, but that's probably a good thing. It's not that I didn't want to, I just never thought I was good [...]
Who doesn't love flowers, better yet, receiving them? Stepping into a flower shop, it's like walking into a garden, relieving me of my worries and letting me wander without a care. Filled with rows upon rows of gorgeous flowers, the fragrance, the colours and textures are in abundance. I love them all! Merely escaping with [...]
The universe works in mysterious ways...I had a chance meeting last weekend, which led to an interview on a national radio talk show. I know, right?! This is a perfect example of the universe in action, doing its thing, pushing you toward something or someone. The lesson here is ALWAYS BE OPEN... Maureen McGrath is a [...]
Vancouver has been a rock star when it comes to flattening the curve during coronavirus. With that, the city and the province have been granted the reopening of select businesses, i.e., restaurants, hotels, shops and thankfully, hair salons! Still, there are strict rules surrounding this; social distancing, washing hands or using hand sanitiser and in [...]
A young lady who I've had the pleasure of getting to know this past year is turning 30, which got me thinking about my thirties. Oh my gosh, it seems like forever ago. My twenties were a blur, fun comes to mind, and I was having a lot of it! I was just getting [...]
"What do you think of these shoes?" he asks. I think it's a trick question, I respond with "in what way?" He continues with, "I love them, they're super comfortable, but they need some glueing on the heels." I take a glance, they need more than glueing, they require a complete overhaul, definitely not worth [...]
Summer isn't summer without the first taste of potato salad. My mother made the best, and it happens to be one of my personal favourites. I've probably consumed buckets of it over the years, full disclosure, it's incredibly addictive. With a few simple ingredients, it's hard to nail down what it is about this creamy potato [...]
I'm not a style blogger, but I'd like to think I know a thing or two when it comes to fashion. That said, my wardrobe lately has been an old pair of jeans worn with a slightly ripped t-shirt, so yes, I'm pulling out all the stops when it comes to my painting ensemble. While it's [...]
These are interesting times, to say the least, self-isolation brings "new ways" for us to socialize. I've experienced virtual coffee mornings with the girls, also happy hour, a holiday dinner and a workout, (which I tried today for the first time) not to mention, a family dinner. Connecting with my family "face to face" during normal [...]
It's interesting to find myself here, yes, I'm writing about being vegan, to be clear, I'm not. But, I'm learning a lot about the diet, it's a bit extreme for me, but I'm all in as far as trying new food. My youngest son became vegan last December, Christmas was interesting, to say the least.
