Food for thought

        Over the past five years my mind has been reconstructed on how I think about my health, I use to eat without thought. Placing anything that was called food into my body without care. I have always been slender and I thought that meant I was in good health. This was wildly untrue. I was always tired and my mood could vary. I am a happy person genrally but I would get into moods where I felt a lack of interest in anything and lathargic. I just assumed it was from... [Keep Reading]

The Art Of Picnic

A Feast On-The-Go

There is something to be said about pulling up a patch of grass with a good haul of summer eats, cool sips and great friends.

To help in your summer time fun here are some tips to pack a great picnic! 1.

These Chic's Are Totally Stacked

From my closet

    So you wanna be a rock superstar, and live large? A big house, Five cars? OR you wanna ride the bus, play acoustic guitar? Play for five people, in a dingy bar? My latest photo shoot was inspired by folk fashion. Some of the most stylish chics in the music biz are folk artists. A lot of my own outfits are inspired by some of the badass women behind the microphone. They usually aren't sporting red leather Britney Spears style onsies; instead they catch your...

Let Your Summer Soundtrack Loop

"Round Round Song" Adrian Sieber

It might not feel like summer heat is here quite yet, but the sounds of summer are surely on their way! Adrian Sieber and his quirky swiss band "Lovebugs" has been a favorite of mine since the summer sounds of the 90's. You can never and always know what to expect from Adrian in the best sense of musical journeys go. Along side his film compositions over the years for some very well done Swiss Indie Circle films he holds a great vision for film itself. Adrian Sieber is known to... [Keep Reading]

I've Got a Total Crush On.....

Juniper Ridge

I came across Juniper Ridge's beautiful things in one of those weird ways we seem to see things these days: someone posted something on Instagram, someone liked their photo on Facebook and it showed up in my feed, or whatever. Regardless, this is one of those things that stopped me in my tracks and didn't just make me double tap an Instagram photo or press like - I was totally intrigued by the concept and resulting goods.  Juniper Ridge makes some of my most favorite things: tea...

Chanel Resort 2014 Collection

        Resort collections are always something I like to keep my eye on. Of course, that is because I like to live vicariously through the people who are wearing fabulous clothes and taking holiday vacations to exotic places around the world, while I am stuck in the middle of the Canadian prairies. Don't get me wrong, Saskatchewan does have a large number of lakes to which one may frequent, but in no way are there hundreds of lavish yachts to jump onto, with... [Keep Reading]
