Full disclosure, this is a sponsored post. The story is my own. This is my first sponsored post so we’ll see how it goes. My personal policy is to only do sponsored posts if a) they are relevant to my life (and glasses are) and b) I have something to offer my readers. So there are some discount codes for you guys at the end. I have been wearing glasses for a LONG time. I …
Reading Wednesday ~ Charlotte’s Web
This month, for my Toronto Animal Book Club, we are reading Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. We’re having our meeting tomorrow at South Indian Dosa Mahal Restaurant, which I’ve never been to before, so I’m excited to try it. I love Indian food and haven’t had it as often as I did when I lived in Little India. I read the book long ago and it was nice to come back to it for a …
Vegan Junk Food
Being vegan doesn’t always equal healthy. Although it tends to be a lot healthier than the non-vegan alternative. Lots of chocolates, even some dark chocolates, contain dairy. Yuck. Not only is Alter Eco’s Dark Chocolate vegan, it’s also organic and fairly traded. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It can even help lower blood pressure. Plus this bar has crunchy toasted quinoa in it, giving it a protein boost. Nothing wrong with …
Long Weekend in Review
Whoo hoo for long weekends! Part One is all about my Saturday spent in Niagara Fall, ON, protesting Opening Day at Marineland with Marineland Animal Defense. This is the sign and origami whale I made for the Marineland protest. Yes, I put googly eyes on my whale. My friend and I took the bus to the protest. When we got to the park, our driver thought he’d partake in the free parking being offered. (In …
Friday Finds & Favs ~ Videos & Stuff
This video made me cry because Caine is so brave at 11 years old. The world needs more kids like him and a whole lot less bullies. I saw this video yesterday of Smeagol’s take on “Empire State Of Mind” and it totally made my morning. HIs facial expressions are priceless. I can relate to Lindasy Joy’s Anxiety Series so much! Especially the phone one. I really only like talking on the phone to my …
Lofty Changes
Anyone who has ever been to our loft more than once knows that it’s constantly changing. Always evolving. Here are some of the recently changes that have been made. Chad has been a busy bee lately. When Chad gets a hankering to do an overhaul, he goes all the way. He took the pipes that were used in our shoe rack and coat rail and made us this funky new DIY coat hanger that’s attached …
Wishlist Wednesday ~ Matilda
The Mod Matilda Ring is just too adorable for words! I’m not sure I should have it as I’d probably be gazing at how cute it is instead of doing my work. I love the print on Nikki’s Lifestyle Aquatic Dress. Here fishy fishy! Oh goodness, I am a ticket stub hoarder so I think I have to get the Ticket Stub Diary to keep them all together. It’d be great for remembering those great …
Currently
Currently, I am… Reading: Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King. Yup, still on my King kick. If you have any good books to recommend for my summer reading, please share! I’m always looking for something new to whet my literary appetite. Watching: Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as I mentioned yesterday. We’re also on Season 2 of The X-Files, but Chad’s getting a little bored with it. I’m still interested though! Watching it …
Weekend in Review ~ Buffy
The crappy weather called for a Buffy marathon this weekend. Starting the weekend off right with a smoothie for breakfast. It’s 1 banana, 1/3 cup blueberries, 1/3 cup raspberries, 1/3 plain Amande yogurt, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 tsp hemp oil and 1 tsp maple syrup. Morgan joined me to watch an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think I watched 9 episodes altogether over Saturday and Sunday, but Morgan got bored with just …
Vegan Virtual Potluck ~ Lemon-Garlic Scallops
Welcome to my contribution to the Virtual Vegan Potluck! I was a big seafood lover before I went vegetarian almost a decade ago. I am so happy that we now have Sophie’s Kitchen with their great selection of vegan seafood. This week we tried their Breaded Scallops. I found a simple non-vegan recipe for scallops and veganized it! This recipe is designed for two people, but could easily be divided into smaller portions for a …

Here’s a close-up: It has one pink and one purple rose and I …
