I’ve been given advice from so many people in regards to the job hunt that my mind is spinning.  I have had people tell me to do everything from showing up at the office with coffee and donuts (how Canadian, eh!), continuous calling until you get somewhere, and of course positive thinking and maybe a [...]

Have you ever had something happen that you’re so excited about that you decide not to tell anyone until it is 100% guaranteed only to crack and tell everyone you see?  I don’t consider myself to be a superstitious person but sometimes I can’t help but worry that I’ve jinxed myself by spilling potential good [...]

The beautiful weather we had this past weekend got me thinking about how much I miss my bike.  When I was still in University I would bike to and from class and go out on weekends to explore the yuppy neibourhoods near by.  Where I’m living now is nice and close to a great bike [...]

If you have a second I’d love for everyone to go and check out the Macro for Micro site.  I’m proud to say that my friend has embarked on an amazing adventure to make the world a better place.  I know that may sound a bit grandiose but it’s the truth. Right now my friend [...]

A little bit about myself, I’m 29 (yikes) and a recent fashion graduate desperately trying to become a buyer. I’ve been working for an airline, which was fun but my contract has ended and since my heart lies in the world of fashion I’m now dedicating myself to finding a great entry level position. Other [...]
