Does Katy Perry look like ME? Well? Look-A-Like? Over the past year, tonnes of people have stopped me on the street and in malls saying that I look like Katy Perry. It’s getting crazy. I get frequent comments from friends on Facebook, reiterating the same thing. It seems like every few days someone mentions this…

Bra and Panty Combo Fail
I wasn’t having much luck finding cute bras online, so I decided to do a quick scan of Etsy.com, to see what was available in the handmade department. As luck would have it, I stumbled across a few gems. Observe. For a mere $70.00, this too can be yours: I hate to break it to…
Caribbean blogger
Just to update everyone, I successfully made the move to the island of Grenada. Sorry I haven’t updated my blog in a few weeks, but I was busy packing up my things in Canada, shipping items and getting ready to country hop. Check out the view from my new home. This is what I see…
Victoria’s Secret Self Esteem Sapping Show
The other day, my self esteem was kind of riding high, so I decided to watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show, to bring me back down to reality. Thud. It totally worked – nothing makes you feel inferior like a pack of thin, toned, leggy amazons with big boobs. (How is that even genetically possible?)…
Oh Christmas Tree…
Christmas at my house: it has always been a magical, memory making experience. Nothing has changed now that it’s 2012; we are still filled with just as much enthusiasm for the holidays as ever. I personally was satisfied with vacuuming the carpet, lighting a cinnamon candle, and then playing a Christmas CD, but friends…
The Mayan Apocalypse – A Survivor’s Story
I woke up this morning, after sleeping in, and was pleasantly surprised to be alive. I made it through the Mayan Apocalypse unscathed! End of Days? Pfft. Please. I’ve been high fiving people for hours. Not sure how the rest of the world fared, but Canada (the land of the virtuous) seems to be okay. …
How To Trap a Cat (pet friendly)
Cats are fickle little creatures, tolerating human love and affection on their own terms. Ever tried to hug (or sometimes just pet) an unwilling cat? Just the once, you’re thinking, right? Yeah, me too. If they weren’t all made so damn cute and snugly looking! <sigh> Today I hit upon the perfect solution. If you…
Fiver – what would YOU do for five bucks?
Writing is my passion. Seriously, I can’t get enough of it. I’d be happy if I could sit in my office, engrossed in the creative process, from dawn till dusk, but employers usually want me to perform other tedious tasks, which wither a small part of my soul. Just the other day, someone in my…
Vampire Fangs
I had a serious thing for vampire fangs back in the day. It didn’t matter if I was costumed as a clown, superhero or rock star; I had to accessories with a pair of plastic vampire fangs. Halloween just wasn’t Halloween without a set of ferocious pointy teeth. Sadly, they were really gross to wear. …
Best of Esty: Crafting Indie Art
I often stumble across random gems on Etsy.com. It’s a virtual hand crafted treasure trove of wonderment. If you’re willing to spend some time browsing you’re likely to find something totally unique that tickles your fancy and enlivens the senses. Bottoms Up Do you have a problem stretching that bottle of wine when thirsty company…
Slow Motion
In praise of slow. I am sometimes awed by the simple things occurring on a day to day basis, that somehow manage to trickle through our net of awareness and pass by unappreciated. How rich our lives would be if we could do away with filters and drink deeply from the stream of awareness….
