So how did Youth Week go? This past Sunday was 2014’s Youth Week Calgary wrap-up event at the Deerfoot Meadows Tutti Frutti. Just like at the kick-off event (which Rebecca and Wentao attended on Easter Sunday), youth could pile an unlimited amount of froyo and toppings into “youth cups” for a flat rate of $4.…
I’m sure we have all been through boring lectures that drone on and on about why the environment is important. But they never really seem to tell us how we can do little things in our lives to go green every day. It doesn’t have to be a huge lifestyle change. These are just small…
I wasn’t sure what I expected when I arrived at the Eau Claire YMCA last Wednesday, but it was likely not the dynamic and enjoyable experience I had. The focus of the session I attended was urban art, and so, being right in downtown Calgary, we went for an urban art walk. Before that, however,…
Alright so my obvious commitment issues aside (ranging from boyfriends to weekly posts [sorry!]), I attended the Calgary Expo on Saturday – a tradition I’ve started for myself about three years running now (literally the longest tradition I’ve ever committed to), and every year I go home regretting something I did or didn’t do. So…
Written by and starring Artistic Producer Ellen Close and Puppet Master Braden Griffiths, My Family and Other Endangered Species is something you cannot miss. It is a piece of theatre that everybody must see, a piece of text that everybody must enjoy, and an experience that everybody must venture on. It is simply wonderful. The…
If you’re a hockey fan, then you’re probably doing nothing but watching the playoffs. This year’s playoffs feature several exciting battles, including St. Louis vs Chicago and San Jose vs LA. Today, I’ll be talking about my playoff predictions, and who I think will win the Stanley Cup for the 2013/2014 season. So lets get…
4. Berlin’s “blind restaurant” Would you like the adventure of dining in the dark? How about at Unsicht-Bar In Germany? It seems this is a popular destination for people all around the world if they are looking for something exciting in their lives. The customers are lead to their seats by waiters who are mostly…
Spring is here and summer is nearing! It’s finally that time of the year again where we Calgarians get a small taste of what our summer is going to look like. The sweet cool breeze rushing past our faces, the scorching sun pounding down covering every inch of our body with the warmth we’ve been…
Everyone has had acne or a pimple at some point, no matter how hard we try to keep our skin clear. If you clicked on this article, I’m assuming that you get acne (like most of us). Have you ever considered that your body is trying to tell you something? Everything that goes on inside…
The Southland Leisure Centre is a recreational center in SW Calgary that offers a wide variety of activities, programs and equipment. It provides a swimming area with slides and wave pools, two skating rinks (for both the public and shinny hockey), fitness rooms, weight rooms, gyms, racquet and squash courts climbing wall, children/babysitting rooms, and…
One may usually perceive Calgary as being the last place for a nature filled experience with all city lights that light up the sky, but youth photographer Joel Agarwal proves that Calgary is a nature-oriented city that is not solely run on the basis of technology. Last week I was able to catch up with…
Welcome to my new attempt at trying to create structure in my life through a blog series. Pinspired is a blog series I’m starting where I scour Pinterest for DIYs and inspirations, then show you my take here. So as some of you may know, the Calgary Comic Expo is coming to Calgary, and I…
Since the Calgary Expo is right around the corner (April 24-27), I thought I would show you some different characters I am going as and how to make the perfect Cosplay! First up is Finn the Human from Adventure Time, but with a little twist; he’s a zombie. 1. Outfit: Finn’s outfit is very basic…
What comes up in your mind when you hear “Youth Week“? Sunday was of course the kick-off day. I was at the Tutti Frutti kick-off event, which is the start of it all. If you missed out on the $4 youth cup fun, I suggest you to also check out Rebecca’s post on this day and most…
Easter Sunday, younglings all over the city hunted for eggs beneath the sunny rays procuring an appetite for one thing, frozen yogurt. This year, Youth Week was fortunate enough to partner up with Tutti Frutti and held its kick-off event at Tutti Frutti’s 17th Avenue location. Just like the $4 flat rate frozen yogurt cups…
