Hopefully by now you’ve all heard of Youth Week. Seriously, it’s a week of discounts, celebrations, and activities for YOUTH in CALGARY. Yep, that’s right. Those little cards we get from school with our picture that most of us loathe, a.k.a. your student ID, can essentially get you VIP access to the city. When I discovered…
With a busy lifestyle it can be hard to take time in the day to take some happy time. However, we are still always looking to be happier in the everyday things we do. It’s almost impossible to be fully satisfied when there is so much happening everyday and new things are being introduced. Thus…
Mindfulness means being in the moment, and not being on what what would be called an “automatic pilot” mode. Since we are all so busy with our lives, we are not fully conscious or aware of what we are essentially doing. By being a mindful person, it would mean that you would be present in…

Foooooooooood. A common object of love. I mean, really, who doesn’t like it? Yet, for numerous reasons, we often reject the most important serving of it. That’s right, breakfast.

Note: The following post may contain disturbing photos. When I was checking my mail the other day, I came across this email my mom sent me. Rather than the typical letter or newspaper article that she sends me, this time, she only sent me a link. Little did I know, I was in for a…

When you first arrive at the shop, you are enveloped in a plethora of color and shapes. This isn’t any ordinary ice cream parlour! The design is fairly…
Surely many of us have fond memories of Snickerdoodles; cookies made with butter, sugar and flour, which are then rolled in a sugar/cinnamon mixture from our childhood years. Simple to make, yet a mouthwatering treat, Snickerdoodles are not only for children but also for those children at heart. I decided to test JoyofBaking.com‘s recipe for…
The River Café is widely known in Calgary as a great dine; one of the best in town. Nothing could be better than to head to a wonderful restaurant after strolling around Prince’s Island.
Fries, gravy, cheese… and then some lamb, red onion, tomatoes and feta?! Heaven’s calling!
Bacon on a stick – pretty awesome, right? It’s a thick cut piece of bacon, both crispy and juicy.
