“Yes! Its a new life, full of opportunities! But I am more nervous than excited. EVERYTHING IS FOREIGN AND UNKNOWN. How are the people going to be? The teachers?? Friends…will I have any??” That was my line of thought when I moved to Canada an year ago! Canada is known to be a country of…
Saturday August 3rd was the annual Calgary Color Me Rad event at the WinSport’s Canada Olympic Park. It was a day to transform and add some sparkle into everyone’s lives. Volunteering there, I had the opportunity to see the color stations set up around the park to splash runners. The actual “color” is actually cornstarch…
Moraine Lake is a gorgeous, turquoise coloured lake near Lake Louise. It’s part of Banff National park and is glacially fed; the rock flour deposits giving its unique hue. Fun fact: it was once featured on the back of the Canadian $20 bill. I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon there during the Heritage day long…
I have had the opportunity to see both Bruno Mars and One Direction live within the past week, which is extremely lucky. So if you are just as lucky and you have the chance to go see either band live I have the low down to see I either concert is a good fit or you!…
Vendors at the mall, electronic stores, accessory sections, etc. etc. Many carry phone cases, but a) they’re pretty much all for iPhones (which really sucks if you have a different kind), and b) you could make an even more awesome one yourself! Since I have a more unique and not as standard model of smartphone,…
Taste of Calgary is back again this year from Aug 15 to Aug 18, and like previous years, there will be lots of ex0tic food and drink sampling available just outside of Eau Claire Market. For those of you that haven’t been to Taste of Calgary before, visitors can buy sampling tickets for $1 each,…
The Millennial Generation is the name of the generation that have been born roughly between 1970-2000. The dates are up to debate though, and are mostly a cultural thing, since I may not like 1997 onward, since I may not think they’re not a part of “us”, the Millennial Generation. I think our generation has…
Saturday was the one and only day to #seizethesunfest. It was Inglewood’s day to showcase its charm, and the mostly-sunny weather helped with reining the crowds in, but the actual festivities did the rest. After I finished my volunteering shift there, I was able to check it out! Being a neighbourhood street festival, this meant…
Google is famous for being a hub of innovation, creating products which have the potential to change our lives in ways that no one imagined even a year before they were released. Google always manages to monetize these projects, improving the world while earning a profit. Looking at the evolution of these projects offers an…
Hello video game of the year! Wow! This is actually the most amazing game I’ve come across yet in 2013. After finishing the new Tomb Raider, Deadpool, and Bioshock Infinite, I honestly thought that there was no way any game could exceed my expectations. I’m happy to say that I was very wrong. Who knew…
Homosexuality has been an influential aspect of our current society, especially in the pop culture of youth. Many of today’s pop icons have exposed themselves to be gay; be it from Ellen Degeneres to Adam Lambert, they are all figures in the public that effect some part of our society. But there has always been…
The other week my friend announced that she was moving to BC. Being the avid baker I am, I bake my friends and family treats for every occasion; holidays, birthdays, and of course, when they move. The catch? My friend’s move was only days away. The recipe I bring to you today is a sweet-lover’s…
In my previous blog I had the opportunity to attend the Finding Kind Documentary at the ConcocoPhillips Auditorum. After the documentary there was a wonderful key-note speaker: Dana Kerford the founder of the Girl Power Incorporation and had the opportunity to learn a lot. What is Girl Power Inc.? It is a program that empowers…
A staple in the Sun & Salsa Festival each year is of course, the Salsa Competition! Each year, the various businesses in the Kensington Business Revitalization Zone(BRZ) compete to make the best Salsa. Visitors can buy chips during the festival at the special chip tents and then visit one or more of the salsa stations…
This year’s Sun & Salsa Festival was a blast. There was so much to see and eat that 6 hours was just not enough. If you weren’t down in Kensington on Sunday, then you were missing out. From dancing to music to salsa, it was just an all around amazing experience to go and celebrate…
