Fab Finds For Fall
I am a Winners junkie. I literally get a rush every time I find a great deal there, which tends to be a little too often. This past month they have started to stock their boot selection (another addiction) and I spent some time perusing a couple of my favourite local Winners for my winter [...]

Sweet Meringues
Recently my daughter decided to make meringues. Now, she’s a girl who knows her way around the kitchen, but even for a beginner, meringue is an easy recipe to try. For kids, the best thing
Harrods Food Halls – Eye-Popping, Delicious Fun!
Despite hearing that the Food Halls at Harrods are over the top, I was totally unprepared for the sight as I wandered in. I kept expecting Willy Wonka to pop out. The huge choice, quality, and variety of foods
Halloween Help
Unlike my sister Dani (who is a bit of a decorating diva herself, but that’s another post), holidays are a lot of pressure at our house. Why? Because we live a couple of doors away from the Martha Stewart of holiday decorating.
Kerri’s Wicked Halloween Part 2
One great talent Kerri has is being able to make inexpensive decorations look great. She picks things up at dollar stores and discount department stores, and supplements with
Kerri’s Wicked Halloween
My friend Kerri is an amazing Halloween stylist. It’s always great to go into her house this time of year for a little dose of spookiness. One thing I admire is that she always manages to get her decorating done early so that she can enjoy the fruit of her efforts for a while (something [...]

…….”Don’t Make Me Get The Flying Monkeys!” This is one scary witch. Halloween’s coming up and she’s going up on my front door today. And she means business, folks! This will be
Gadget Love
I love wandering through local ethnic food stores for great gadget finds. Here’s my latest – this adorable 3 inch stainless steel ginger grater. You can also use it for cheese, garlic and nutmeg. Sturdy and cute, it was a steal at $3.99! Find it at your local T&T Market (my fav asian supermarket) or [...]
Camden Food
Wandering into the food stalls area of Camden Lock Market, we were overcome with a sudden urge to eat. And eat and eat! There were piles of

Camden Market
Camden Market, one of London’s best known market areas, is a great place for a weekday stroll. It’s really a collection of markets spread out over one area. We had a great time browsing through the stalls away from the chaotic weekend crowds. It’s gritty and colourful, with a great
Salty Treats from Harrods
The next best thing to going away on a holiday is having my sister go away on a holiday. My lifeovereasy partner in crime never fails to arrive home with an extra special treat for me! We both share a ‘hunger’ for travel, so always getting a little piece (or many) of something foreign when [...]

Nutella Crepes: A Street Food Addiction
It wasn’t long after we landed in London that I came across a stall selling Nutella crepes streetside on Portobello Road. The last time I had indulged in these was in the markets of Paris almost 10 years ago, and I couldn’t resist having one right away. My daughter encouraged me to try one with [...]

…the streets of London! Check out these great rain boots my eagle-eyed sister found with black and white photography of the sights of London. I bought a matching pair for my daughter and myself as a fun thing to bring on our recent trip. Just what we needed for the wet London weather! Normally I [...]
Zucchero – Sweet!
I am a big fan of Italian pop music legend Zucchero, and as much as I hate to date myself, have been since high school. As a matter of fact, after so many (uh.. hmmm…) years, I used my fav Zucchero song from high school at my wedding. It was a delightful experience to finally [...]
