My Week of Eating Like a Celebrity

April 9, 2012

This post was sponsored by The Fresh Diet. I was given a week of food in exchange for an honest assessment of their services. All opinions and confessions about my weird eating habits are my own.  One of the things that made my recent two week trip to Toronto awesome was that The Fresh Diet provided me with a week of free [...]

Inside my Closet: All Dressed Up

April 5, 2012

It feels like I haven’t blogged in way too long! My time in Toronto has been rolling by at break-neck speed. I’ve been running all over town, seeing friends, going to meetings, eating, drinking, shopping (just a little bit!) and doing a bazillion errands. I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened over the past week and a [...]

The Last Couple Standing?

March 30, 2012

Even though I am still in Toronto, I thought I’d give you guys an update on the “Eligible Bachelor” situation in Victoria (or lack thereof). As you may remember, a few months ago I attended an online dating party where a bunch of girls got together to help my friend craft the perfect online profile. Meeting people in Victoria is difficult so [...]

The Morning After

March 25, 2012

My first morning in Toronto I woke up to an unexpected male guest in my bed. I took stock of my new sleep-over buddy: he was about 2 ft tall, long hair, intense green eyes, wearing a  furry tuxedo. Not exactly my usual type. The last thing I remember from the night before was watching “Beats, Rhymes, Life: The Travels of a [...]

Inside my Closet: My Favorite Vintage Finds

March 23, 2012

How’s a girl with Neiman Marcus taste but a Walmart budget supposed to get her fashion fix? Easy! Shop vintage. I come from a family of bargain hunters. If you know me in real life you’ve probably heard the stories (or seen the FB updates) about the some of my amazing shopping adventures with my Mom and Sister (they usually sound something [...]

Count Social Engagements, not Calories.

March 21, 2012

This post was sponsored by The Fresh Diet. As always, all opinions and details about my slightly disturbing Mexican take-out addiction, are my own. When it comes to “cooking for one” I  have a love/hate relationship. The upside to eating single: I can eat WHATEVER I want. The downside: I can eat WHATEVER I want. Although I usually start off with good [...]

What Do You Really, REALLY Want?

March 18, 2012

If the title of this post sounds a bit like a Spice Girls song it’s because I’ve had “Wannabe” stuck in my head for a week. Do you remember the Spice Girls? As far as pop groups go, they were pretty cool. They were all about “Girl Power” & taking control of your life while in perilously high platform sneakers. Anyways… I’ve learned [...]

The Art of Pickle Pleasing

March 13, 2012

It’s the moments when I catch myself saying things like “Sorry, I can’t come out tonight. I have to read an instructional manual on penises for tomorrow” that I realize my life is completely absurd. Thanks to the lovely Katrina of Ohhh Canada who sent me a copy of Dr. Sadie Alison’s book “Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing”, [...]

Just Call Me Hipster Kryptonite

March 9, 2012

Ever since I wrote this post, I’ve been mulling over the issue of male/female relations in this town. It’s been a few months and although I no longer feel like I’m emitting a “don’t fucking touch me” vibe, it still seems like flirtation is non-existent in Victoria. I’m not ready to date anyone but I wouldn’t mind if a guy passed me on the street [...]

Things I Would Tell My 20-year Old Self #7

March 6, 2012

One of my favorite things about doing these “Things I Would Tell my 20-year old Self” guest posts is that I get to introduce some of my favorite bloggers to you guys! Have you ever dreamed of leaving the rat race behind and moving to a small beach town in Costa Rica? My friend Abby did exactly that. In her blog the [...]
