A Guide to Four Types of Festivals in the Vancouver Area
Canberra, Australia or CANburra to Australians

S’well Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle
I was at the car dealership the other day with my S'well Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle (website) when the receptionist told me she’s been seeing everyone at school with one. I interpreted that to mean, I had to tell her how wonderful it was. And it is...

A Few Adrenaline Rush Activities off My Bucket List
A few years ago when I started making my yearly bucket lists I realized that I had to do more to live life and achieve everything I wanted to. Unfortunately money seems to always be an issue so I decided to do at least one affordable activity every year. Either...
