If you know me, you would say that my two favorite things are the internet and shopping, and although this is true, there is one thing I like more: when those two things are combined. I have a bit of an obsession for online shopping. The convenience of not leaving your house, waiting eagerly for…
Being a student is hard. While attempting to balance school, relationships, and yes hormones, one may come to face with their (mildly horrific) financial situation. Many of us may find ourselves pinching pennies (okay, now that the penny has been taken out of circulation, I guess we’ll have to say ‘pinching quarters’ instead) for that movie…
Pretty much everyone’s been to a decently fancy restaurant in their time, am I right? Well, Q Haute Cuisine pretty much blows away every restaurant ever. It has not only been named one of 2013’s Top 50 Restaurants in Canada by vacay.ca’s panel of judges, and also holds the 5th position in their public voting…
Russia’s all new Batmobile-like tram have been recently showcased on the internet. These trams contain a lot of new tech gadgets that Batman would probably enjoy. It includes tech for passengers like WiFi and music that changes based on the time of day as well as other necessary things like air conditioning and anti-bacterial hand…
Okay. Let me just start off by saying I had absolutely zero expectations for this dish, but it totally blew it out of the park. The succulent medley of vegetables, the crispy tater tots, the fresh mint chutney- all topped off with yogurt. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. Papri tot is twist papri…
This year, Stampede featured some pretty wacky new foods, but none were quite as strange as Crocodile Sliders. Yes, made with REAL crocodile. I decided to venture off the path of traditional fair food and give them a shot. After all was said and done, I must say, I was rather disappointed. First of all,…
Who doesn’t love a hot, steamy, delicious… bowl of macaroni and cheese? Another one of the new eats being served up at the Calgary Stampede this year is Reel Mac And Cheese’s Million Dollar Baby Mac and Cheese. Let me tell you, this isn’t your standard KD by any stretch of the imagination. Now, before you…
After school had ended, some relatives from overseas had come to stay with us in Calgary. Ever since, they have been taking us to IHOP once a week. This was the first time I had ever been to IHOP, and trust me, they have some fantastic dishes you wont want to miss. In case you’re…
Buffalo Wild Wings is a restaurant that has pub style decor, but is not a pub. To start, I ordered the soft pretzels and they were quite good with the standard cheese sauce, but you can also choose from a selection of 17 sauces for no extra charge, which is pretty cool. Soon after the…
Are you tired of being bored all summer? If so I have created a great list of things you can do this summer right here in Calgary! 1. Summer festivals There are so many different and unique festivals in Calgary all throughout the summer. Try going to the Sun and Salsa festival, or catch up…
For Father’s Day dinner, my family and I had the pleasure of eating at The Bow Valley Ranche. This upscale restaurant, located in the heart of Fish Creek Park, operates out of a ranch house built in 1896. This antique yet newly refurbished setting adds a modern twist to the classic architecture of the building.…

The bloggers apart of this series will each present their favourite thing about summer. If you have not already checked out some of the blogs…
I am writing this blog post this week because my absolute favorite YouTuber, Miranda Sings, is coming to do a live show in Calgary! She will be here on October 23 at MacEwan Hall at the University of Calgary for a night full of comedy, magic and of course, singing. Miranda Sings is a character…
With exception of number five on the list (the restaurant supply store), for this list, speciality usually means expensive. So while not to do your daily grocery shopping at, these stores are interesting to browse through and quite often air-conditioned as well. 1. The luxury store – Mercato’s The main value in going to Mercato—once quite a…
As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” The World Partnership Walk (WPW) is an annual event held in 10 cities nationwide to help alleviate global poverty. Since its beginning 30 years ago the WPW has raised over $82 million for international projects to aid people globally, making…
