When it comes to knowing about trends and what’s cool or in, yours truly has been out of the loop for a handful of years. No greater evidence of that than now… It seems there’s a new makeup trend taking off with a bunch of Gen Z influencers that involves going a little overboard with […]

Well, we’ve finally made it to August, which is a really interesting time of year in many ways. It’s when people try their hardest to get outside and enjoy the last real month of summer. Then, it’s those same people who’ll fight to get back indoors and complain about how hot it is. And let’s […]

There aren’t many times when I’m the one to say, “think of the kids,” but I had a change of heart at the mall recently. Usually, I’m all for kids learning things early on, but then I saw a store already putting up back-to-school sale signs… before the start of August! These poor kids get […]

Even though Halloween is still basically three months away, there’s already some scary news out there—and not the fun, spooky kind. Hershey’s CEO has announced that they’re bracing for a candy shortage! With a number of ingredients getting more expensive, we could see this issue spreading to other candy companies as well.

It’s tough spending over two months on an emotional […]

When it comes to the latest TikTok life hacks, you often wish people would just shut their mouths—literally. Thankfully, that’s exactly what the newest trend is all about! Guys are being encouraged to tape their mouths shut while they sleep to supposedly get a better jawline. Part of me is hella suspicious that women might […]

It’s not just groceries that have been taking a bigger bite out of our wallets over the past couple of years. Spotify has announced a SECOND hike in their monthly subscription rate, and we’re not even halfway through 2024! Sure, it’s great to have unlimited access to your favorite tunes anytime, anywhere, but there has […]

While my hockey loyalties might lie elsewhere, it’s hard to ignore the excitement surrounding the Edmonton Oilers today. Last night, the Oilers advanced to the Stanley Cup finals, and if you’re anywhere in Western Canada, you know it was a wild party in Edmonton. And why not? It’s been ages since the city had a […]

A couple years ago there was a guy walking around his neighbourhood with a canoe on his head. He would stop every couple of houses and wrestle it down onto the ground, then with all his might he’d flip it back over thrusting it onto his shoulders before heading further down the road. When I […]
