I realize right off the bat that the title may be misleading for those Google searching something else in Yaletown but “Blo” is actually the name of a “Wash. Blow. Go.” salon on Hamilton. Wash. Blow. Go. Under 30 dollars. Just over 30 minutes [BloMeDry.com] At first I scoffed of the idea of a hair […]

It’s a shame I can’t remember the sound of the electric trolley transit buses that rolled up and down either side of Aberdeen Ave. They were yellow and white with black trim, and had rear doors that opened on the driver’s side to accommodate loading on one-way streets and off the boulevard under the maple […]

In honor of our boys kicking some serious NJ Devil a$$ tonight, Luongo getting a shut out and Alanah’s live blogging, here’s a clip folks have been buzzing about lately: Mason Raymond is mentioned on the hit CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother”. Yes, Neil Patrick Harris’ character disses the Canucks name-drop. Cool. Side […]

I admit, I don’t think I’ve ever done any shopping in Yaletown aside from the new Dollar Store I discovered but if you’re out and about downtown and need some of your Christmas gifts done up in pretty little bows, keep this destination in mind. For six glittering days from noon ‘til six pm, volunteer […]

The other day I was offered some Bon Jovi tickets for this evening and the Surrey girl inside of me just couldn’t pass them up. From the Bon Jovi website I grabbed my girl Keira and tonight we tossed back two plastic cups of wine and enjoyed a trip down memory lane. Every single person […]

This has nothing to do with Vancouver, but this is my blog and I can post anything I want on here (most of the time). I first heard about these guys at Keira’s birthday and last night I was reminded of their funness so here are a couple slices of “Flight of the Conchords”:

I’m not sure when I last held a rolling pin in my hands. Today I headed to Keira’s for something we’ve been planning ever since she setup her Christmas tree oh so many weeks ago. We baked. We made coloured icing. We baked a lot and we had fun.

Tomorrow will mark the one year anniversary of the storm that ravaged Stanley Park one night, uprooting tens of thousands of trees and gnashing through the sea wall. Over the last year I’ve kept a close eye on the park, and have many photos and blog posts to illustrate the lack of progress and frustration […]

I have decided to participate in the BC Children’s Hospital “Skate for a Cure” campaign. Skate for a Cure is an exciting fundraising event that encourages kids of all ages to get involved in raising funds to find a cure for childhood cancer. [SkateforaCure.com] The incentive here, aside from raising money for childhood cancer research, […]

Keira’s recent post about shoes got me thinking about a few things. Sure, I have more pairs of shoes than I can count on my fingers (and toes) but I don’t think I’m obsessive at all. I walk into a store and I know exactly what I want, ie. closed-toe, non-stiletto, non-chunk heel shoes that […]
