Once again, it is back-to-school season and it seems as if we are confined in our desks doing homework 24/7 with absolutely no time to exercise. When school started, I thought I had to say farewell to those fabulous workout routines from the summer forever as free time was so scarce. With all that homework…
Halloween is by far my favourite holiday, and if you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’re dying for it to come faster. But if you’re anything thing like me, you also aren’t a big fan of horror films. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find good Halloween movies that aren’t scary but aren’t made for little kids.…

WHO’S HYPED UP FOR OCTOBER 3? With the book 4 premiere of the last season of the Legend of Korra, I thought it’d be appropriate to show off the trailer. Seriously, I’ve followed the original series since the beginning and now that the last season of the sequel is here so soon, I don’t know…

I agree, Netflix and Tumblr are amazing. But… deep down we know that staying cooped up inside might not be the best way to live. So, I journeyed off to the mountains to have myself an adventure! Magical, memorable, awe-inspiring Lake Louise is beautiful even just standing outside the Fairmont Chateau, looking out at the lake…
By now, you probably think that I’m being sponsored by LUSH. But, unfortunately, I am not (not yet, that is). They just happen to make extremely amazing products and eat up my paychecks. (Proof of my obsession.) But it’s all worth it. I’ve come a long way from my first review of their face wash…

As a teenage girl with the attention span of a 5-year-old, I am easily distracted by anything that moves, is shiny, or smells good. Thus, Bath and Body Works happily drains my wallet. Although I am not that fond of their lotions or soaps, every candle line they come out with consistently makes me swoon.…
