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.
{Original Image} This is it! The moment I have been waiting for! The 10th instalment of this series. You have no idea how truly beautiful this moment is to me. Thank you, to those of you who have stuck out with me and this series for these past 10 weeks (probably more considering I didn’t…
YouTube is one of my favourite websites to date. You can find so many cool things there. You can learn how to Tibetan throat sing, fake an Irish accent or how to do your hair as if you were in the 1920s. You can also find a lot of cool people! They could be beauty…
Since meeting and staying with my host family for the past three days, I have learned much more about the values of the Danish people – more than just being in the country ever could. In my few days in Copenhagen, I was able to notice a few primary differences between how our perspective countries…
So over spring break, fellow blogger Tasha Hou and I decided to take a look at some YouTube channels. During our search we stumbled upon a channel that we think needs to step up it’s game – Gerald Hopkins. On a series that Tasha and Iwill be doing, we will be judging YouTube videos based on…

I have never been much of a multi-tasker. I always thought by listening to music while studying I would not work as efficiently. However, I have recently stumbled upon a playlist for music that is perfect for studying. This music is very relaxing and enjoyable. So the next time you are studying, try listening to this…
As you have probably noticed in my past posts, I am not staying with a Danish family yet and am just spending time in Copenhagen. That defies the concept of a homestay, doesn’t it? Tomorrow our flight leaves to the city of Aalborg on a different island of Denmark, making today our last day in the…
After a very jet lagged first day, a full day of travel with a great night’s sleep was so wonderful. Our day began at 8:00am when we had a Danish breakfast at the hotel and proceeded to see the famous Little Mermaid statue, a homage to the famous fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen. Apparently, when…
As I mentioned in my last post, I am participating in a Danish Homestay program as a part of a program offered by Western Canada High School and Robert Thirsk to its students. Currently, we have just wrapped up Day 2 of the trip and the first day that we did not spend entirely on…
“Every man dies- not every man really lives” – William Ross Statistics say that 95% of people procrastinate on their goals. Be different. In my spare time, I created a bucket list about the things I want to achieve before I die. Having a bucket list reminds you of what you really desire so eventually you…
{Original Image} The weekly Pinterest roundup is back! I’ve decided to try something new with my header image, and I think that it looks pretty cool. (Hopefully nobody hates it.) It’s been pretty hard for me to adjust back to this whole waking-up-before-eight thing, but I have managed to get through this week, so far.…

Online shopping. A fun modern day convenience, or a dangerous experience that scams away your money? Very often true, however, is that it sucks up your time when you are not careful. Personally, I enjoy online shopping very much. I can find everything I want, and also a lot of things that I don’t want…
Despite Calgary’s ever changing weather, spring has officially arrived and bringing with it, a new wardrobe full of brighter colours, shorter lengths and lighter fabrics. What we learn from this season’s fashion is to embrace your inner wanderer, contrast and to respect the past. Look 1: Mix pieces to incorporate a more delicate piece with a…
While I was in New York last week, I saw an interesting looking building. It was as though the surface of the building had waves. That building turned out to be a creation of a Canadian architect. Born in Toronto under Polish Jewish parents, Frank Gehry, at the age of 86, is a…
