Treat Yo’ Self for Valentine’s Day

by Tazim Damji

Treat yo' self for valentine's day

A gorgeous bouquet is a wonderful way to treat yo' self for Valentine's Day this year! Stop waiting for someone else to buy you flowers! Teleflora makes it easy with their selection of Valentine's Day Flowers. I've heard it all before: Being sad that your partner doesn't buy you flowers or buys you the wrong kind of flowers. And I've lived it, too. Once, someone bought me my least favourite kind of flowers and justified it by saying they were on sale. :| And I remember buying other people ...

Valentine’s Day Gifts from IKEA

by Tazim Damji

ikea glass bottles

If you're lucky enough to have an IKEA close by, I would recommend checking it out for Valentine's Day gifts and goodies. The products there are inexpensive, and often co-ordinate well. For instance, want to go for a kitchen-products theme? You can get several different components that are Valentine's Day-y, that work well together. Check out my recommendations below. ...

Shiny Holiday Event-Ready Earrings from Jolica

by Tazim Damji

Jolica earrings silver

A simple outfit can take you from day (office) to night (party), add these sparkly silver earrings from Jolica, and you're set to go! I can't say that I'm exactly a party-person, in fact I try to avoid most crowded social scenes, but I do get quite a few invitations to store openings, media events and the like—and they are usually after work! Because I don't like to dress up too much to sit at work for 8 hours, I typically just dress up my usual business-casual outfit with some jewelry. ...

MAI Made As Intended – Positivity for the Rest of Us

by Tazim Damji

mai shirt

Confession time - I've never considered myself to be a happy person, I've always been content. . .with being content. I'm trying to make some positive changes in my life in the new year (though December is a big improvement over November already!) so this sort of over-the-top positivity is just what I need in my life. The t-shirt and Blessing Bracelet that I received from Made As Intended will help sail me in to a much more positive year in 2013. You've heard of wearing  your heart on your ...

Blurb Custom Personalized Photo Book for My Most Precious Memories

by Tazim Damji

blurb packaging

My mom has managed to put a few pictures in albums over the years, but the vast majority of her pictures never make it to her computer or get printed. The ones she has had printed (years ago, before she had a digital camera) just sit in their envelopes and within a big box in the basement. What is the point of taking all those photos and not actually looking at them and enjoying re-visiting the memories? I have thousands of photos in my iPhoto library that I regularly look through for ...

Essentia Organic Bedsheets Review

by Greg

Essentia Sheets

We roll up to Essentia Calgary on a clear early spring day. The store is fresh and minimal, and in addition to the lack of excess packaging, signs, and junkage—one of the first things I notice is the lack of smell. I breathe in deeply, and smell only air moist with melting snow—and a faint whiff of cotton. It's a moment I've been waiting for for a while. I've been curious about Essentia since I read a story in the Globe and Mail last year—as Tazim mentioned in yesterday's post—they make all ...
