Since its inception in 1989, BCBGMAXAZRIA has been sophisticated, yet accessible. I remember a few years ago when I found one of their shirts at Winners and felt really upscale walking around in it after I inevitably bought it. Founder and CEO Max Azria has strived to bring the fashion of his hometown of Paris…

When I was younger, one of my favourite places to go was the Science Centre. I found everything there entrancing, and I never wanted to leave. I remember the sensation of the needlebeds, making gunk, and watching movies in the huge theater. What I just described was the ‘old’ science center- in my opinion, the…
s of now, our Calgary is most famous for the Calgary Stampede. It’s “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”- complete with fireworks, stage performances, you name it, the Calgary Stampede is hands down one of the most looked forward to events in this city.

As much as I hate turning everything into an argument for why my gender is oppressed, the reality of women’s clothing is that it’s often tight and specifically cut- which means that 95% of body types end up simply looking awkward. And while there is great diversity in women’s garment styles that makes this deficiency…
YouTube is a world-renowned platform for artists and makes for a very personal outlet for many. At the beginning of the summer, I was starting to get bored of the content I was watching until I stumbled upon a YouTuber by the name of Ben Brown, a UK travel vlogger & blogger. He has a vibrant…

{source} Happy September YYC! The beginning of a school year means a new start, so I thought it was appropriate to introduce new (and old) Canadian bands to add to your playlist. I was recently contacted by a band from Edmonton and I immediately fell in love with their music. This made me realize how shielded we…
Happy back to school everybody! You knew it was coming, and now it’s finally here. Trust me, as a student at Sir Winston Churchill entering Grade 11, I’m completely aware that back-to-school is not always something to anticipate. Back to school brings homework, studying, and having to wake up early. I had my fair share of that…

The Whisper Challenge, the Bean Boozled Challenge, the Cottonball Challenge, the Blindfolded Drawing Challenge, and pretty much every other challenge you can think of, YAA bloggers seem to have done them all. Well with that lengthy list, you probably thought that we covered all those popular YouTube challenges. But while Rebecca and Ailin hilariously completed many,…
{Source} Don’t you hate dilemmas and making tough decisions? The other day, I went to my favourite clothing store. My wardrobe was already full, but I don’t care. I saw a superhero shirt. Great news! It has been marked down from $19.99 to $13.99. Then I see another shirt. The fabric is smoother and feels…

All about Alphabet Google. It’s been a window to the world for what seems like ages, to this generation at the very least. We know it as a single search engine, but did you know that Google (was) actually a large company which owned Youtube, Android, Nest Labs, Calico, Google, Inc, among other Google franchises?…
