  • Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful…

    Look what I got in the mail today! Courtesy of KitchenAid Canada, I’ll be testing out the new 13-Cup Food Processor this holiday season, and I can’t wait! I have been lusting after it ever since I got the email. I LOVE KitchenAid products because they’re so well-made and stylish. I invested in a professional…

  • Mystery Gift

    After another craptastic day at work I came home to a nice surprise: Someone has sent me a nice bottle of Black Tower wine and some bracelets! How sweet. And what good timing. I haven’t been writing much lately because life has just become unwieldy. I’ve realized that I really don’t like my job anymore,…

  • Converse Sneak Peek + Flare 30th Anniversary

    It seems that when it rains, it pours! Yesterday I was able to attend two interesting events and walk away with quite the haul! It was really nice to get out & about and be appreciated in a material way! I know I have written before about the parties and swag that come with my…

  • Teaser

    Oh man. I just hit up two events today and I am positively overloaded with SWAG. My arms actually hurt from carrying it home (time to hit the gym again!!). It’s all very exciting! I shall post about it as soon as I can… *giggle*

  • Fancy Cuppicakes?

    They seem to be all the rage these days, cupcakes. I see them at parties, weddings, as cupcake cakes and business gifts. Slews of specialty cupcake shops have opened up (at least here in Toronto!) to cater to this new trend. Generally I am in favour of cupcakes. They’re the perfect combination of cake, candy…

  • Yay for Google!

    You’ve got to admit, Google is a pretty cool company. So cool in fact that I’m pretty sure the word google has now become a verb (I googled…I will google, I have googled, iGoogle [LOL!]). Anyway, today I got a coveted peek inside their Canadian headquarters at Dundas Square in Toronto and it was pretty…

  • 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…

  • Swag Alert: Teletoon Goodies

    Yay! The drought may have finally ended! Since the economy has been doing so poorly lately, the stream of events, parties and general free stuff in the ad world has all but dried up 🙁 Since moving to my position a year ago I was receiving much less anyway, but since Christmas it has been…

  • 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…

  • More Mascara!

    Sheesh, it seems like all I do these days is try new mascara! What’s up with that? Any companies out there want to send me some other stuff to try out? Maybe a car? lol I’ve just been invited to another mascara promotional campaign, this time for L’Oreal’s new Beauty Tubes mascara. It’s not out…
