Sat, 24 Nov 2018 16:33:02 +0000

It’s winter, which means my obsession with socks intensifies by, like, a million. Goodbye flip-flops (but not really), hello funky socks and slippers and hot chocolate and all the comfort foods.

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:18:32 +0000

In my opinion, the BEST Lobster Crab Roll I have ever eaten, and will ever eat, is in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Here’s the thing. I have a very unhealthy relationship with lobster. It’s the one food that I almost never say no to, even if I’ve eaten it for a few days in a row. […]

Tue, 31 Jul 2018 02:00:59 +0000

The rumours are true, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were spotted, together, at a bakery in Washington and we are simply swooning. Sure, they are American, but that doesn’t mean those of us up here in the Great White North cannot admire them too. Who doesn’t love a good bromance?! While we loved following the […]
