Clothing Swap, FTW!
Ever been to a clothing swap? I just went to my first one ever and had a great experience! I teamed up with some fellow GTA fatshionistas from the fatshionista (plus-size fashion) community and we organized a mid-winter swap on Sunday. I think it went pretty well! We started with a brunch for the organizers…

Pretty Baubles!
Thank goodness for 3-paycheque months! This past week I just bought 2 new necklaces, both as a result of my silversmithing involvement! I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but the studio I do my work at had a booth at an arts & crafts show this past weekend. They were pimping out their workshops…

Got My Shot + Thoughts on the Flu Vaccine
So, I got my H1N1 shot this weekend, and it went just fine. My mom’s office had finished giving it to all their high-risk patients and there was enough serum left for one more shot, so she brought it home to give to me. My mom was pretty adamant about me getting the shot this…

Das Boots!
I thought I’d post a follow-up on the boot situation I was complaining about earlier. I don’ t know why, but I went back to that shoe store again the day after. Luckily it was open this time! Poor little Max (the owner) of Shoe Avenue sitting alone on his chair twiddling his thumbs… it…

Storm Season
Oooh, there’s an awesome storm happening outside as I type this. This whole weekend it’s been crazy in terms of weather. My body isn’t too happy… I’m a human barometer and the weather changes and storms have been causing me serious pain. I was laid up most of yesterday and into the night with an…

The Garbage Strike Blues
For those of you that don’t know, Toronto is in the midst of a city workers union strike in which garbage pickup, city maintenance, summer camps, etc. have all been stopped by the striking union. More information. This garbage strike is really getting me down lately. We’re into day 25 of it here with no…

Bombay Sapphire Event Review
“Gin-cident”: a negative experience with gin; usually as a result of inferior juniper berries used in the production of gin. Or by being a stupid teenager. I’ve had one, and I’ll bet you’ve had one too. I’ll admit it; a few weeks ago, I did not have a very good opinion of gin. I thought…

My Ears Are Still Ringing
I went to the Jameson 360 party at the Great Hall on Saturday. It was essentially a pre-Paddy’s Day party that was being held in several locations around the world. It was cool since they were showing you live broadcasts of all the other parties going on while you were at yours. It was a…

ChickAdvisor Shopaholic Event
I’m a member of the Toronto edition of ChickAdvisor.com; which is a really great review site for my area (and now across North America, too!). I love going there to scope out reviews on restaraunts, spas, salons, products, you name it! I also contribute by writing some reviews of my own. (Check it out! My…

This week in Ginger’s Life
Whew! This week so far has been a little more interesting than my normal weeks! Usually I like my work-weeks to be fairly tame–I stick to a routine, go to bed at the same time and try to keep things quiet. On Monday I deviated from the usual by going out with my friend ML…
