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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Hello? Is anyone out there? We just returned from a walk, it was eerie, to say the least. All restaurants, shops and cafés are closed, some boarded up. It feels like the after-effects of a bomb gone off. We are the only few survivors, except for a restaurant down the street, which is offering wine [...]
It was down to the wire, we needed to make the call, cancel our two month trip to Europe or risk getting stuck in London, France, or worse quarantined somewhere. A gruelling few hours later, our decision to cancel our trip came early Friday morning, our flight was the next day. Shortly after we made our decision to [...]
It's been a week since the Oscars, and I'm still processing Joaquin Phoenix's acceptance speech for "best actor", or rather his shout out to inequality and injustice. I love these Oscar moments, just when you least expect it, here's Phoenix with a profound and thought-provoking speech. For those of you who missed it, here you go... [...]
For the past six years, Valentine's day for me was a bust, well ok, I may have poured myself a glass or two of wine, and commiserated how it sucks to be single. There was a time when Valentine's day got me excited, but that was a much younger naive me. To be honest, it's [...]
For the past year, you've followed along on my journey with the new man in my life. I guess I can't use the word "new" anymore, we've just hit the one year mark. It's hard to believe, the time has gone so fast, but when I stop to think of all we have seen and done together, [...]
It snowed last night, and for this west coast girl, it brings the child out in me. Don't get me wrong, as long as I don't need to drive anywhere, I love it, snow angels and all. For those of you who live in subzero temperatures, you must be exhausted looking at all that fluffy [...]
