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…

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…

In the spirit of Women’s History Month, and a great International Women’s Day for those who celebrated it last week on March 8, the search and technology giant, Google, thought it would be amazing to celebrate the holiday by honouring it with a Google Doodle.

Coinciding with Women’s History Month, it is important to raise awareness to the struggle of being female. This word is no exception. This word has oppressive qualities that often hinder young girls from becoming potential leaders.

Tim Horton’s has nothing on this place! In a tiny nook in southeast Calgary there sits an amazing cafe called the Cornerstone Music Cafe. I was unaware of this great place until I came over to it during YYC’s Hot Chocolate Fest, where I managed to drink in the indulgence that was my Hot Mayan…

It’s basically an athletic bracelet that…

The stock text messaging app is satisfactory, but free alternatives do exist for us Android users. I’m honestly not a big fan of using Hangouts as the default messaging app (and it’s the only one that comes installed on my Nexus 5). On my hunt for a nifty new text messaging app, I came across…

We all have small things that bother us and that crawl under our skin. Here are three things that have gotten me on my nerves in the past few days: 1.

The ocean is full of countless bizarre animals, each one weirder than the next. Especially when it comes to their defense mechanisms, which seem alien. One of the weirdest and most spectacular defence mechanisms out there, is that of the mimic octopus. That’s why I’ve officially dubbed the mimic octopus, ninja of the ocean. The…

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…
