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.
I think scarves make wonderful gifts; not only as a matter of personal preference, they often prove to be useful in the coming cold months. This year I made two, one of which is incredibly impractical, and one that turned out surprisingly nicely. Both are very simple, particularly as I have an irrational fear of…

I’m sure if you were born in the 90s, you have watched at least one Cartoon Network show. Looking back at these shows really bring back great childhood memories that I shared with my family, and friends. It’s never too late to catch up on those shows again in your free time. 1.. THE POWERPUFF…
The holidays are just around the corner. Christmas trees are being decorated, and the bells are ringing. Aside from Christmas, we have approximately 16 days to do whatever we want. So, how are we going to utilize this free time? Today, I’ll be looking through the things I believe should be done on your spare…
It’s that time of year again. With less than a week left until Christmas, people are rushing to buy their last minute gifts. If you’re like me, than you probably also find yourself rushing around, or just don’t have too much time to get gifts. So for those out there in need of some last…
Yes, I’m aware the title to this post is probably really confusing. What I’m trying to convey is that we must embrace the holiday season, not just the idea of the holiday season, or the stereotypes of the holiday season. This winter and this Christmas, I challenge you to live in the moment. To live…
1. Ponchos Ponchos have been in my wardrobe as long as I can remember. My friends and I always love to buy winter clothes for because they are just so cozy and festive. Besides in Canada, most of the time it’s chilly. Ponchos are basically like a warm cozy blanket. Wearing them is also effortless…
The best ways to donate to charity this Christmas Christmas is approaching–and to be quite honest, most of us already have plenty of “stuff.” I certainly have nothing that I particularly need (though I’ll always have some things that I desire), but Christmas spending can still be put to good use. Rather than buying yet…

The latest winter trend is ugly Christmas sweaters. I’ve been trying for years now to start the trend, but for some reason, this year is the year that it decided to work. Anyways, I was going to make a DIY vlog with fellow bloggers Jordan and Bryna. We bought our sweaters and we’re going to…

WestJet impacted many passengers by allowing them to wish for anything for Christmas from Santa. Once they asked Santa for their present, the WestJet staff shopped quickly for the gifts at Best…
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time where malls are crazy, radio stations play Christmas music incessantly and bratty children can be heard begging for toys from miles away. This may seem like a cynical way to look at the most marketed holiday known to the western world, but don’t get me wrong, I’m…
I go crazy about any holiday. Or season. Or anything that entails a specific mood or something of that sort. So, when you combine a) my favourite season, with b) my favourite holiday, and c) my birthday, you get a very festive me. Along with decorations and music and baking and all the traditional spirit-building…
When I was little, the only thing that ever made an appearance on my Christmas list were toys, toys and oh, even more toys. I had absolutely no desire whatsoever for anything else and all other non-toys that I ended up receiving, went straight to the back of my closet. The last few years, however,…
