Shiny Holiday Event-Ready Earrings from Jolica
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!

MAI Made As Intended – Positivity for the Rest of Us
Confession time - I've never considered myself to be a happy person, I've always been content. . .with being content.

Blurb Custom Personalized Photo Book for My Most Precious Memories
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.

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 ...

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 ...
