I was watching Dexter Season 5 over the weekend. I was upset that Julie Benz was written off the show…happy that Julia Stiles made the season…and creeped out at the horrible evil out there. Yes, it’s just a show. Yes, what happened to Lumen (Stiles’ character) has and does happen to women. After Dexter set Lumen free…
I’ve been waiting for this film to come out on DVD for a year now. I have to say…this documentary did not disappoint. I awwed, cooed, laughed, and sat back in complete awe at a brilliant masterpiece about four babies from four very different parts of the world and their first year of life. San Francisco,…
Spring is right around the corner. In some parts of the US, maybe a little sooner than anticipated. There’s nothing that says HAPPY like a spring update in our homes in springlike colors. At The Foundary today, I found the above pillow covers in yellow. I think pillow covers are great! Instead of buying an entire pillow…
Well, ladies, I can’t say I’m officially a single girl, because that’s not true. But I am spending Valentine’s Day alone this year, just like every year. My guy is out in the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, so I don’t plan on spending this American holiday with him. I actually won’t get to…
I’ve been doing some research into the raw food diet and juicing. I’m not 100% sold on raw food yet, because when I eat, I generally like my food piping hot, because it soothes my esophagus and warms my tummy, making food a lot easier to get down. Cold and warm foods (unless it’s just plain…
12-18 months on medical lockdown will go by quickly, just like every year does. So while I’m still in the USA, there are some things I’d like to do before packing up the apartment and splitting for good. Here’s a list of things I’d like to do before leaving. Try Texas BBQ (so I can…
I haven’t read the book “Water for Elephants” yet. I’ve been trying to, but the whole circus thing makes it hard for me to read it. Maybe I will read it sometime this year. Last night, though, I actually checked the movie out from the library and watched it. I was getting ready to turn it…
If you’ve been following me on Pinterest, you’ll notice my WANTS board. I tend to throw a lot of purse lusts and Valentino onto the board. Most of those lusts come directly from Saks.com. While I was at The Bay in Ottawa, I caught a cheaper version of the same bag I was wanting from…
Since I’ve been on a bit of a personal financial lockdown (i.e. trying not to spend too much money), I was astounded to find out that I had more money in my accounts than I thought I did. I couldn’t figure out why until I got to the office on Tuesday and saw an email…
For most hockey ladies, we are kind of in love with this show called “Supernatural.” Sam and Dean…now add hottie for the last few seasons, Castiel (the fallen angel)…we are just eye candied up every winter. I recently got my brother hooked on this show over the holidays. While we were in Target, I saw…
As the days pass into this new year of 2012, I’ve been making all of my plans (especially the financial ones) to make the big jump across the pond. In a weird synchronistic movement of the universe around me, Jaromir Jagr says he wants to re-sign in Philly for next season. Ok…word probably got to…
Reality finally settled in…or shall I say, the reality also known as DOUBT has settled in. A few months ago, I knew it would happen. It was inevitable. Being back in a first world country where people put too much emphasis on things that don’t really matter…this is the same world that is so lost, they…
Lesson #1 in 2012…never fall into routine. Lesson #2 in 2012…you don’t have to do a huge task all at once. Just do a little at a time each and every day. Lesson #3 in 2012…what are you doing now? What is happening NOW is more important than what’s happening tomorrow. Tomorrow is a dream not…
For those who know me…they know that I love Bauble Bar. Thanks to their Buried Bauble Fridays, I’ve been able to amass a pretty large collection of baubles from my favorite jeweler. Each Friday, somewhere on their site, they have a bauble for just $10. But if you want to get in on the Buried…
You’ll be amazed at how I’ve been spending my non-hockey time lately. This year, because it’s time to launch the other hobby of mine, I’ve been doing a lot of research into how to market my product in new ways. I’ve been taking cues from sites like ZeroPassiveIncome.com to get a better idea on how…
I saw this up on Pinterest and then thought…what a cool concept. This concept was developed by the author Ann Voskamp, who wrote the book, “One Thousand Gifts.” This project is taken from her website: A Holy Experience. Whether you record this down in a journal or go on a photo frenzy…do something that will…
1. ZeroPassiveIncome.com. Want to know how someone in debt could all of a sudden turn their financial situation around in ways that you can’t even imagine? I’m talking about a 12 month financial project to right your wrongs…and they’re doing this at the age of 25? One of the Zero Passive Income Twitter accounts just…
I’m always looking out for artists and artwork…or even color schemes that I love and am thinking about incorporating into my home. Would you believe that I found a Van Gogh reprint with drastically varying prices? I almost bought this reprint painted on canvas yesterday. Funny how it’s up on Joss & Main today with…
So this whole minimalist thing is hard to do…really it is…so I’ll have to find another way to reduce, reuse and recycle. In the meantime, let me flood your senses with some discoveries on my what’s next to buy list… FOUND: Zara Dress for $49.99. Zara is having their end of the season sale. These…
Over a year ago, I found this bag that was just so cute, I had to own it. It was perfect for me.  Little did I know that it was the same design as the $3,180 Fendi Peekaboo. My co-worker saw the bag and fell in love with the style…and ordered 2! Afterwards, we found…
