The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
Over the last couple of weeks I have had the opportunity to watch the movie The Vampire Academy. Personally I loved the movie, everything about it was really well presented and very enjoyable. The romantic aspect of the film is what really caught my attention, along with all the sass. The dialogue between the characters…
With this new series, Viral Thursday, a Thursday of every month will be dedicated to covering the most viral stories all over the internet. Intended to make you feel all sorts of emotions, from happiness, frustration, anger, and everything in between, as the little trolling introduction may have done, let us kick this series off.…
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…
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…
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…
Last week, I purchased one of the most popular athletics bracelets in stock, the Nike FuelBand SE. 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…
Some of you may know the lovely Tanya Burr from YouTube. She is an amazing and hilarious British makeup guru who has almost two million subscribers and now, her own line of lip glosses and nail polishes. In partnership with Eye Candy, Tanya has created and named 12 of her own lovely Lip gloss colours…
Returning from a recent trip from Montreal, it often interests me how diverse and massive Canada truly is. When former Governor-General Michelle Jean mentioned Canada having two solitudes, never would I have thought that the two regions of Quebec and the Rest of Canada would be so distinct. Entering La Belle Province was almost as…
A couple months ago at the library I saw something incredible. Something incredibly bizarre. Wild Orchid by Cameron Dokey is a retelling of the Ballad of Mulan, the same tale popularized by the animated Disney movie. If you need a recap, the summary of the novel is as so: “Wielding a sword as…
Canada is a vast and enormous nation. Because of its sheer size, it sure does have a myriad of diversity within its glorious dominion. Well, who better to capture the essence of Canada than, yes, the Americans. American folk art company Dowdle took a tour of our magnificent nation, and saw through their inquisitive eyes,…
A little over a month ago, British rock band You Me At Six released their fourth studio album, Cavalier Youth. Being a fan of the band, I immediately went onto iTunes as soon as I could to purchase it. YMAS, already being a staple in the current UK rock scene, had many high expectations to…
It has always been my personal perception that Calgary is an extremely flat city. Land-wise, Calgary is by no means flat – we have many hills and ditches. On the other hand, our architecture is on average shorter. The tallest buildings are clustered in downtown, but for the rest of the city, we are mainly…
