Wow, what a week! I finally arrived home after 3 days of being stuck in NYC without any power, hot water or cell service. It was quite an experience and something I will remember for the rest of my life. I am sure you have seen many photos of the heartbreaking devastation hurricane Sandy caused. It seems surreal that I was right in the middle of it all. In fact the place I stayed was less than a...
I have loved this city for as long as I can remember and try to visit as often as I can. This year, I have been lucky to have traveled here 3 times for ‘work’! I always try to take in the sights, tastes and sounds as much as possible and think it could take a lifetime to see everything this incredible city has to offer. This time I had a meeting with Etsy and starting tomorrow I am attending RHH...
Last Wednesday I had the woozy, lightheaded, hot/cold sensation, which only means one thing. My body had finally given in to the nasty cold bug that is always seems to be going around this time of year. At first I was in denial and thought if I just drink a lot of orange juice and drop oil or oregano in my water, I will wake up the next morning and feel totally fine. It was misleading too,...
As I write this, I am looking around my apartment at boxes, clutter and things that aren’t where they should be. That’s right, we are moving! But this is not just any move; my boyfriend Neil and I are going nomadic! This means all our stuff is being sold or put into storage and in the meantime we will be staying with family. The reason we are doing this is because our plan is to travel around...

When I started my first business, Booty Beltz I had no idea what the heck I was doing! I remember doing a craft show clear across the country, and not packing any lights for my booth. It was one of my very first shows and I had no idea they would be turning out all the overhead lights. The first day I sat in almost total darkness and let’s just say my sales were gloomy and dismal too! There was...
How the heck is it almost the end of September? When I was at Portobello West last weekend handing out flyers for Make It, I could tell I wasn’t the only one who is having a hard time believing it. Ever crazier is that Make It Vancouver is less than 6 weeks away. Ahhhh! I know this time of year can be completely overwhelming because there is just so much you need to do before the show season...
