Why Women Need Tools

January 28, 2010

One of the things most people probably don’t know about me is that I have a fully stocked tool box & own my own set of power tools. And, get your mind out of the gutter–by power tools I mean things like cordless drills, sanders, staple guns (not the “other” kind of fun power tools, although I do have a few of [...]

Meet the New Designer on the Block!

January 27, 2010

One of the worst things about Canadian Winters is that right about now, when everything is frozen and you’re starting to wonder “When will it end?!!!” designers start to taunt us with their Spring & Resort lines. You’ll be walking down Bloor Street, bundled up in a parka, scarf, hat gloves, snow blowing in your face and look into one of the [...]

Who were you in High School?

January 26, 2010

Its been over 10 years since I graduated High School. Since then, I haven’t spent much time thinking about that era of my life. However, over the holidays a few things happened that made me reflect (for the first time in years) on the experiences I had in my early teens. First of all, my sister downloaded the complete series of My [...]

What’s Inside your Bag?

January 22, 2010

I’ve seen these kinds of posts on a million different blogs so I decided to finally do one of my own! (Because maybe, like me, you get a secret thrill at seeing what’s inside other people’s bags, apartments and closets…) Lets take a look at what’s inside my bag…. (Clockwise from the top) 1. My new Bag Baby ( a lovely gift [...]

I don’t want things to be like this anymore

January 20, 2010

OK, so here is what I have wanted to write about for a few days but haven’t been able to get out. Call it writers block or fear of “outing myself” (although you’d think I would have gotten over that by now). Here it goes: Bedtimes have never been easy for me. My Mom always says that since childhood I have “always [...]

January in Motion

January 17, 2010

Ever since I wrote that letter to myself (about a week and a half ago) I feel like I’ve been running on manic speed. There is so much I want to do over the next year. The past two weeks I’ve been feeling really inspired and full of ideas and just GO GO GO. I thought this week would be relatively relaxed [...]

Dear Future Me

January 15, 2010

Last night I had a really great time hanging out with one of my best friends Ukulele Misfit. I love hanging out with her because we always have the best conversations. Last night we spent a long time talking about our intentions for the future, where we see ourselves in 5 years and the various creative projects we’re working on (I also [...]

Oh Hello, Grown-up

January 12, 2010

Yesterday morning I took a VERY early flight from Victoria back to Toronto. I made it back safely and now have a few observations to share: 1) Late nights watching Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 7 with your family are awesome but don’t exactly mix well with 4:30 am wake-up calls. While on my 6am flight, I actually fell asleep IN THE MIDDLE [...]

The Suitcase Test

January 7, 2010

This probably sounds strange but, I actually kind of enjoy living out of a suitcase. I think this is because whenever I’m getting ready to go somewhere I put a lot of thought into what I am going to pack. The things I chose to put in my suitcase are always the clothes I love best and are the most useful. When [...]

Here’s to a Decade

January 3, 2010

I wanted to post this earlier this week but I’ve had limited access to the internet the past few days. Today I decided to head out to the coffee shop around the corner from my Mom’s place and low and behold…they have free Wi-Fi. Game on! I feel like I really needed to write my last post as a preface for this [...]
