Green Living Show Vancouver: Natureland Organic Beer

Comments 3 by Rebecca Bollwitt

I was a fan of the Amber Ale, while Keira leaned more toward the Lager. NatureLand Organic Beer is Canada’s first organic beer, pumping out two lovely samples of their 5% brew at the Green Living Show this weekend. This Gold winning Ale has been recently introduced to the British Columbia market. This unique beer […]

Green Living Show Vancouver: Scent with Love

Comments 3 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Upon first inspection this looked like a booth that promoted some lovely soy candles, but it was actually more than that. The soy candles, that come in many delicious flavours like oatmeal (that made Keira smell like cookies), cucumber melon, root beer, peaches, tangerine pina colada, and strawberry banana also serve as a skin moisturizer. […]

I’ll be writing more specific booth/product reviews but for anyone who is planning on attending the event, here is a quick preview with freebies, […]

Cockfighting in Surrey, For Real

Comments 10 by Rebecca Bollwitt

This morning I kept getting sent links, and emails and IM’s about the big news out of Surrey today. Admittedly upon looking at the urls (see the one for the CBC story below) I chuckled and shrugged off the articles thinking everyone just wanted to gang up on my hometown. I was wrong, apparently a […]

What is a Strutta and is the game on yet?

Comments 6 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Ever since last summer at BarCamp, or maybe even before that, there’s been a buzz around town about Strutta. They’ve hosted all of the Launch Party events so far and even supplied me with one of my best-fitting t-shirts to date back in November. But just what exactly is Strutta? Last night they held an […]

Geek Girl TShirts Where Are You?

Comments 15 by Rebecca Bollwitt

A while back Duane and I were on iChat talking about how it was almost lunch time. We exchanged some html talk like *hunger* me */hunger* (replacing * with the brackets of course) and it soon evolved into some php code that I simply can’t share because it may further screw up the format of […]

Surrey File: Chuck Cadman

Comments 7 by Rebecca Bollwitt

This past weekend I felt nothing but “Surrey Pride” when talking with my Crazy Canucks co-hosts, as it turns out 3 of us were raised in Surrey and are all pretty proud of that fact. It got me wondering, who are some other great Surreyites that I’m honored to associate with the city… and now […]

Two Years

Comments 29 by Rebecca Bollwitt

They had been walking around the city all day and their feet were tired. Their arms were sore from carrying boutique-purchased items, groceries and a bottle of wine, yet their spirits were electric, sparked by the excitement of finally being together. Their love was new, still silent and unspoken but it was enough to make […]
