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.
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.…
Iridescent fabrics, daring cut-outs, and elaborate sequins. We saw all these trends and more at this year’s September fashion month, where the world’s top designers showcased their works in the major fashion-capitals of the world; New York, London, Paris, and Milan. This season was filled with shocking new looks, which in turn gave us a sense…
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…

There are millions of short films out there, and I, personally, am a huge fan of them. They are short, interesting, and great to snuggle with on a cold winter’s day. Here’s a great short film called the ART of LOVE by Lewis Farinella. Hope you enjoy it. The ART of LOVE
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…

It plays an important role in our daily lives, whether you are admiring the beauty of a building or contemplating how different fonts can…
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.…

As a frequent library-goer and, admittedly, not the hugest fan of the currently existing Central Library, I’ve been looking forward to the grand new reveal of the New Central Library’s design for a long time. It was announced a few months ago that the esteemed Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta had been hired to put together the new design,…
Now that we’ve had a few weeks to settle back into the routine of getting up, going to school and doing it all over again the next day, we kind of need a bit of a pick-me-up, now don’t we? This time of year is perfect for revisiting fond memories of he summer that lead…
Even when I’m not there with you physically, I’m always with you daily. Because when I said we’d be, you and me, When I said I’d love you endlessly, I’m somewhere, somehow there with you, baby. Nothing like a few sweet lines to help warm your day as the days get colder. Yes, this isn’t…
