My $250 Kitchen Renovation: Before and After
When I bought my first home last year, I fell in love with its charm and potential–not it’s dated decor. I knew that with a little elbow grease, the home could be brought from 1960 to 2014. My Kitchen Before First thing’s first — I don’t know who those people are. Believe it or not

(Pictured: Yoga Handstand | Wearing: Blundstone boots, Danier leather jacket) I first started practicing yoga when I was 15. I was recovering from a rough time — both physically and emotionally — , and I still remember my first class like it was yesterday. I felt so out of my element and in my own

Gusto 101: Cavolo Nero Kale Salad Recipe
In my top three favourite salads of all-time list is The Cavolo Nero from Gusto 101 in Toronto. It’s unlike any other kale salad in that it’s tender, sweet, salty and creamy. Perfect under a grilled steak or chicken, or heck, even on its own. The restaurant also has a year-round rooftop patio a
DIY Gone Awry: You’re Killing Me, Buster
I’m about to end the life of this f*&$ing pot holder I’ve been knitting this thing with polyester rope which has nearly killed me. I swear it’ll be the death of me. Heavy sarcasm aside, it ended up looking great, and seems like it would function fantastically as a pot holder, only it&

This week’s jams border on somber, but with some punches of fun to the gut such as a throwback cover to Ace of Base (!). I may have thrown in a surprise happy jam amidst the somber emotional tunes just to throw you off and balance out the tracks. Give it a listen, ya’ll. And […]
