After receiving glowing reviews from my favourite beauty vlogger, Bubz, I decided to give this product a try; the Arbutin + Hyaluronic Acid Brighting Jelly Mask (try saying that five times fast) by Annie’s Way.

Freelance journalist, Esther Honig, decided to put beauty standards to the test in her project “Before & After.” Honig sent her headshot to 40 different individuals in 25 different countries, simply asking that they “make [her] beautiful” through the use of Photoshop.

Transitioning out of winter and into nice weather, I find that my hair feels a lot less dry and brittle. Although, it could be in combination with the fact that I’m using a lot of products in my hair. I’ve always had pretty good hair but I went through a phase where I dyed and…
Aside from all the panels and contests that take place at Otafest, one of the major hit points is the amount of amazing cosplay that people bring in. Although it’s held in Calgary, people travel from all over just to attend this convention (which should give you an idea of how popular it is and…

Youth Week has brought Pandemonium Club to life at the Calgary Public Library in Forest Lawn. Several teens attended this after-school event in order to celebrate their love for the City of Bones books!

I know that the title is a little bit confusing. Of course, all of us know what it’s like to be “hungry.” We experience it on a daily basis. After breakfast, into late morning, you’re sitting at your desk and suddenly your stomach starts growling. Your thoughts drift into the land of pizza and macaroni,…

It was an unproductive day on the Internet. You’re just minding your own business, scrolling through some hilarious cat pictures. Then it hits you. Something so amazing and extraordinary that you stop and wonder, “Why have I never seen this before?” This was one of those moments for me. Jed Henry, an amazing illustrator, and…
As a writer, I’m always reading articles on current events or simple opinion pieces such as the one being discussed today. More often than not, I come across pieces that I don’t entirely agree with.
