LA CHAMPAGNERIE

  The experience: Have you ever cut a bottle of champagne with a saber? It’s one of those experiences you feel excited, scared & intrigued about! That’s how I felt when I 1st tried it. What a sense of accomplishment when you do it right the 1st time & the champagne is drinkable! If you’re looking for a trendy place for a 5@7, look no further – La Champagnerie is the newest hot spot in Old Montreal. The good music, the dim lighting & the overall hip atmosphere lure in the crowds. If you don’t make a reservation, especially for larger groups, you…

25 RIDICULOUSLY HEALTHY FOODS

We make bad food choices all the time. We pick up coffee & muffins in the morning at a cafe next door, we grab quick lunched loaded with calories, and we have late night dinners. We all know it’s not healthy, but we do it anyway! Sometimes it’s b/c we’re running late, and other times b/c we’re either misinformed or we just simply don’t care. I came across this blog entry on Pinterest and I really wanted to share it with you girls! The list is filled with foods that are not only good for you but also quite delicious. So think twice before grabbing that piece of cake, and…

DRINKS AT JOVERSE

I am always on the lookout for new places to go out & lately I have discovered this little gem in the heart of Old Montreal. This bar offers a variety of drinks & various appetizers. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the food, as I only had some nachos, and let’s face it, those just are good no matter what, but I can definitely comment on the drinks & atmosphere! Drinks were very strong, so you get your money’s worth for sure! Music was good & not too loud, so you can still have a conversation without screaming. The place is hip,…

We criticize & bully oneselves constantly, but we can’t see ourselves through other people’s eyes. This short video demontrates that we don’t give each other enough credit & that other people see us in a better light than we do. It’s time to open our own eyes & see the beauty we possess, inside &  out.

Holiday Season is fast approaching & if you’re hosting Christmas parties, it’s time to start thinking about what you will bake! Have you ever tried making brownies ladies? I have the perfect recipe for you: OUTREAGOUS BROWNIES! They are true to their name, and even more so if you add some of my special ingredients!

Add…

DECISION TREE

While shopping, we often pick up things we don’t really need but we just don’t seem to be able to put down. How many of you ladies brought back something home that you regretted buying? Impulse purchases are bad purchasing decisions. They usually costs us a lot of money & end up making us very unhappy. An interesting article was posted on the BBC website featuring the picture below. It’s a decision tree to help us make better purchasing decisions, be it clothing, electronics, groceries, etc. Now, it’s easier said than done – this is not a miracle solution or a recipe for instant success.…
