We’ve all experienced that horrible feeling after finishing a great novel. You never really accept that the last few pages will eventually run out, but once they have, you’re consumed by an overwhelming cloud of despair and sadness. Thankfully, I’ve suffered through enough of these dreaded “book hangovers” to come up with a few ways…
Women are getting over-sexualized in almost everything we see nowadays. We see it in the media, songs, television shows, and even in just general conversation. But most of all, we can see woman get over-sexualized and degraded in almost every video game, comic, and character in the science fiction and fantasy communities. Seeming the first…

In my quest for the ultimate Vietnamese cuisine, I recently visited Thai Tai. The service at Thai Tai was fairly good. The waiter came by several times to check how we were doing. When ordering, I was able to get a few changes to the food I ordered. Overall service at Thai Tai is fast-paced,…
So in my last post I taught you how to keep your face protected from the harsh winter, but now we’re going to focus on keeping your kisser kissable. Why? Because I suck at eye and face makeup, but my lips are on point. Plus, when you’re sick, chapped, lifeless lips are the first giveaway. Enter…
Only four days await until the ultimate accomplishment of fans arrives on the big screen. Unless you have been under the hood of a car or baking under the blazing sun in Neptune, California, you are probably aware of the Veronica Mars movie that premieres this Friday. What makes this movie such an accomplishment of…
Curling was the only sport I ended up watching during the Olympics, as it conveniently came on live around 10 p.m. MST. Surprisingly, in contrast to my initial impressions of the sport, I ended up more interested than I expected. Now that the Canadian Brier has just finished, I thought this the perfect time to…
In the spirit of Women’s History Month, and a great International Women’s Day for those who celebrated it last week on March 8, the search and technology giant, Google, thought it would be amazing to celebrate the holiday by honouring it with a Google Doodle. A Google Doodle is the most prestigious award one could…
Coinciding with Women’s History Month, it is important to raise awareness to the struggle of being female. This word is no exception. This word has oppressive qualities that often hinder young girls from becoming potential leaders. The sad fact is, this word, though devastating to young girl’s development to become headstrong and independent, has none…
Tim Horton’s has nothing on this place! In a tiny nook in southeast Calgary there sits an amazing cafe called the Cornerstone Music Cafe. I was unaware of this great place until I came over to it during YYC’s Hot Chocolate Fest, where I managed to drink in the indulgence that was my Hot Mayan…
As we approach the end of the first week of March, it may seem like the month is just beginning. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the month of March has decided to be a 31 day month. Calgarians, fresh off the unique and special 28-day February, have already begun planning for March. Need a hand? Regretfully, I…

Today, I thought I’d tell you guys a little bit about this phenomenal product, and how it will lead to a healthier, and more active lifestyle. So what is the Nike FuelBand? It’s basically an athletic bracelet that…
The stock text messaging app is satisfactory, but free alternatives do exist for us Android users. I’m honestly not a big fan of using Hangouts as the default messaging app (and it’s the only one that comes installed on my Nexus 5). On my hunt for a nifty new text messaging app, I came across…
We all have small things that bother us and that crawl under our skin. Here are three things that have gotten me on my nerves in the past few days: 1. Fast food restaurant etiquette: we often see people leaving behind their used utensils/trays/ bags after eating on the tables. First of all, don’t be that…
