With the holidays just around the corner (EEEKKK less than a week until Christmas!!), I’ve spent many hours on pinterest looking up potential gift ideas. In my perfect martha stewart world, I would be giving everyone beautiful gift baskets filled with delicious cookies and hand-made crafts. Unfortunately, of my list of crafts, I only got […]

Cheese a jolly good fellow You can imagine how many knock knock jokes I’ve heard growing up (because my name sounds like knock)… but this one may actually be the worst.

Is there really anything better than chocolate? My co-worker and I were on the hunt for items to include in our gift basket for my supervisor when she suggested we fill up the mug with some chocolates from Naked Chocolate on George st in Peterborough.

It’s a very intimate […]

DIY letter shirts
I’ve never really been a sports fan and I’m almost completely useless in any sports related trivia. However, I’ll take any excuse to get decked out in team colours and cheer. During summers in Toronto, one of my favourite activities is getting together with a few friends, and buying cheap 500 level tickets to cheer […]

A night in Bollywood
There ain’t no party like a Bollywood party! There’s nothing I love more than a good old fashioned theme party! So I was ecstatic when Yashy from BabyandLife.com asked me photograph her baby girl’s birthday party. The party was beautifully decorated and amazingly executed.

The Works
Many of my cube mates were buzzing about the new burger joint that opened down the street. Call me a sheep but I obviously had to go see what all the commotion was about. What struck me at first was their kind of industrial meets Canadian log cabin themed decor. I loved the way the […]
