I know you’re all tired of hearing about the Pandemic, but it’s a very difficult subject to avoid. Some might also want me to avoid the topic of civil rights, but I am about to delve into that field… unapologetically, might I add. Today, I would like to highlight one good thing that has come out of the current global situation… As well as one thing we should all be mindful of. With job losses, reduced income and increased spare time,...
I turned thirty in June. I tried not to... I wasn't ready for it. Like death, I've known for many years that it would happen, had things I wanted to achieve before it did, but it seemed to sneak up on me and when it did I just wanted to turn back the clock. Morbid? Maybe, but that was my mood. I've dealt with it now... mostly. I've done a lot of reflection on my current situation, my future and all the lessons I've learned in 30 years on Earth....
The digital universe needs an injection of realness. I've got the needle. One of the many places where the first half of this year took me was one of deep sadness and loneliness (more on that in another post) and I'm not sad to have closed that chapter. Still, if you'd been following me on social media you would have had no idea. My Instagram in particular would have told you I was living a life of sun, sea and sexy bikinis. My Facebook account...
"A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction."
We've all heard this one before... or some other catchy quote along those lines. We all know the delicious dichotomy of the man who loves women who look 'natural'... yet finds that you look ill or ugly when he sees you sans makeup.
When the world seems to worship women like Kylie Jenner and Beyonce, who are rarely ever seen bare-faced, it can be hard to resist the...
If you're self-employed or a freelancer, like me, you know how frustrating it is to constantly deal with everyone's misconceptions about how you work. You're in a special category of the workforce... which often makes you feel like you're not really a part of the traditional workforce at all.
If you run a SMALL business, it's even harder. Some people think you're lucky, some think you're crazy... the truth is often somewhere in between. Check...
Carnival is coming! This has to be one of my favourite times of the year. The fun, the music, the sense of community, the bubbling anticipation that sweeps the country and that feeling of complete and utter freedom... there's nothing like it!
Unfortunately though, this can also be one of the most expensive seasons of the year. With costumes costing upwards of $6,000 and pockets still struggling to recover from the Christmas madness, can we enjoy...
Most of us are determined to be on our best behaviour for the rest of this year. Whether it be working out, eating healthy or finally starting that retirement fund... we want to build on what we had and who we were last year.
As a young couple, my husband and I are just at the beginning of our journey towards financial security for ourselves and our (future) children. It's one of the things we'll be working on this year. The thing is though,...
I love moments like these; saying goodbye to one year and starting a new one... I always hope and plan to build my career that much bigger, that must faster each new year. I dread going back to work, but I also look forward to my first call to active duty; the first conference of the year.
Still, as we all do, I tend to spend the last few days of each year reflecting upon the trials and tribulations of the year gone by. I like to look at the...
Having only recently gotten into the holiday spirit ('recently', as in yesterday) I've decided to do this tag I've seen floating around the interwebs. It's about time that I finally stop the cleaning, grocery shopping, decorating and stressing so I can focus a little bit more on the spirit of the season...
I'll admit, this year it's been pretty hard for me because finances are tight (no shame in it), plus I'll be spending Christmas without K...
Ahhhh! Christmas is next week and I STILL haven't ticked off all the items on my "To-Buy" list!
Inevitably, at this time of year, I remember that the men in my family are always the hardest to shop for. I know I could just do the socks and underwear thing, but I want to be more creative than that... and sometimes I'm just plain stumped!
If you're in this situation, you might appreciate my personal cheat-sheet of gift ideas for men. I'll admit...
