      I love old time candy because it reminds me of some of the awesome products out there when I was a kid. I get so excited whenever I can share a memory or flavor with my kids.      Old Time Candy offers old-fashioned candy from the 50′s, 60′s, 70′s and 80′s.  They also carry party favors, gift boxes, jars and toys that you played with as a kid.  For this upcoming Valentine’s Day,

In our quest to eat more natural and healthy foods in our home I made the choice a year ago to eliminate deli meat from our diet.  But as I shopped our local Co-op store I noticed they did carry a certain brand of deli meat in particular….AppleGate!  Not only was there bacon and brats and sliced meats but when I looked into it I started to wonder….could I go back to eating deli meat

The chilled breeze, the colour of the leaves and most importantly the transition from shorts to pants, tanks to sweaters, sandals to booties – has informed us that FALL is on it’s way, and quickly. Starting the season off in a bold, dark outfit, with a pop of colour seems only fitting. These pieces are a few of my favourites to date! 1//Leopard Sweater 2//Booties 3//Black Skinnies 4//

Recently, I had  a chance to review and host a party for a fabulous brand that I am rejoicing over. It’s called UNREAL and they make candy. However, they don’t make your usual candy. They make candy without corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, GMO’s, artificial flavors, or synthetic colors! Wow! Isn’t that awesome? I’m so glad to see someone stepping up to make a difference about the foods we eat.
