Hey guys! It’s been nearly a year since I discovered the blogsphere and about six months since I moved from Jaka’s Tea Party to a new site! If you’re looking for me, head to one o...
Hey guys! If you missed the announcement somehow, I’ve moved the blog to a new site, Apples and Porsches. Today’s post is a list of resources for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week....
It’s with immense pleasure that I’d like to announce my new site Apples and Porsches! After a long time to think and some great chats with some great ladies, I’ve decided to move my...
Yep, that’s me – calculator in-hand at two. An omen of nerd-dom that should have been heeded. Today is my 26th birthday. At 4.20am (go ahead, make some jokes), February 2, 1984, I poked...
Hey loyal awesome people! I know you’ve all been dying to see more in my little space since I’ve been on vacation. Hopefully those Mexico pics will satisfy your voyeuristic needs. But!...

You guys can probably already guess this one; I talk about her enough that you guys probably think we’re “special friends”. My favourite new person this year is Birdie. I met her t...
You may remember a while back when Gala Darling raved about the Canadian miracle vitamins that she bought while in Toronto. It seems like everyone, including me and the lovely Ginger (who reviewed t...
My best project of 2009? It’s a two-way tie between starting Jaka’s Tea Party and rolling out the Wholestyle Manifesto. Which works out since they’re inter-related anyway. Back at...
Only six more shopping days ’til Christmas! Thankfully, the wholestyle roundups are blissfully free of stress-inducing holiday posts about parties (attending and hosting) and gifts (giving and ...
Final Fashion’s mastermind, illustrator Danielle Meder, is at it again. From designing Doc Martens to creating wicked Keds for charity to inventing Snow Queen apparel, it seems like this wily ...
I haven’t seen my natural hair colour in 10 years. Until I cut all the blue and bleach of out it, ending up with about an inch of dark, ash-blonde fuzz. The Saga of My Hair has been a long, fas...

To be fair, I don’t often get the chance to listen to a lot of new music during the year. I’m definitely one of those people who mostly likes stuff they’ve heard before, and I usua...
I know that this entry is supposed to focus on the one book I read that blew my mind (and was supposed to appear on the 4th), but frankly, my memory is about a minute and a half long, so it’s h...
This is my first year in the blogsphere, and I mean that quite literally. Before March, I hadn’t read anything that wasn’t on Livejournal and my first post in my own domain came in July....
As December starts, we begin to fill up on holiday treats – this week we’ve got some amazing treats for your brain (and a giant list of treats to fill your tummy!). Arts and Entertainment...
As many of you know, Mr. Man and I got married back in June (and it was glorious!). But I’ve always had some rather stinging personal insecurities when it comes to the long-term aspect of my r...
[[Many thanks to all the lovely blogladies out there that inadvertantly pointed me to this challenge issued by the illustrious Gwen Bell. I may not write about all the topics, but I think that Decem...

There’s something about those among us who aren’t just not beautiful, not average, not plain or unremarkable. There’s something about the unattractive, the strange-looking, the hom...
November is a month chock-full of awarenesses, and as much as media literacy and family reading are important causes that I can get wildly passionate about, the third “awareness” is the c...
Someone out in Youtube land is amazingly observant. I was in third grade when these 1993 ads came on, so I’ve got an excuse for not noticing that AT&T were actually carefully plotting and enginee...
I’m not the best at expressing my thoughts on topics that are emotional or important to me, particularly in writing. I instinctively feel that any words and formations that I come up with aren...
