Swiffer Duster

No I do not secretly work for Swiffer or Procter & Gamble, I just seriously love this small investment I have made. I feel old after I use it because all I can think of is "When I was young we had to dust everything by hand!" But seriously, great invention- great for allergies, easy to use and a super simple pleasure! Investing in one is highly recommended!

Disclaimer: no I do not love dusting with it that much that I will come to your house and dust.

Oh and btw- I got a pink one which obviously makes it more awesome. Just sayin.

Waste Not, Want Not (WN2): If you’re not thrifty, you’re probably mean

Hi! I'm back! And I'm back with something unoriginal (not mine) it's someone else's! I stumbled upon this great National Post article: Waste Not, Want Not (WN2): If you’re not thrifty, you’re probably mean

This article is part in a series by Post writer Jane Macdougall who describes its background: WN2-
As in Waste Not, Want Not. Where thrift is not only the new black, but your new favourite colour.
Thrift: the quality of using money and other resources thoughtfully and not wastefully. The premise of WN2 is that thrift sorts out a whole bunch of our current problems.Better than a shiny new gadget, thrift will improve your life. It can make your bank account richer, your planet greener and your life waaaay cooler. Did I mention that it will also make you richer? Yes, thrift can do all that.

That’s because thrift is sleek and sexy and comes in one million fabulous flavours.

And yes, I said sexy. Because thrift is creative. And there’s nothing sexier than creativity.

WN2 is going to show you how better choices can deliver a better life on a greener planet.


Check out the article I found- and others in the series- guarantee you will learne something! Here's an excerpt:

"My relationship with stuff is more realistic now. A car is not a panacea; it's a means of conveyance. An expensive watch doesn't offer an extra hour in the day. Pricey lipstick doesn't make your kisses taste better. Thrift is proving to be instructive."


Love.

Enjoy!!

An Open Letter to Amy Winehouse

This is a new section I'm going to start: An open Letter to: which will have open letters to people I see needing a letter from me. Enjoy!!

Dear Amy Winehouse

Dude what's going on? I think that you are a crazy crackhead, but you know what? It kind of works-you make great, catchy tunes. So, although I am not a huge supporter of hard drugs or encouraging alcoholism, it kind of works for you so I guess keep on keepin on?

Much love,
Cole xoxo

The "blog" of "unnecessary" quotation marks

I can't believe I stumbled upon this blog: the "blog" of "unnecessary" quotations marks. It is sooooooooooooooooooo funny- mis use of quotation marks is so funny and actually quite common!

Please check this out if you want a laugh (laughter guaranteed), and make sure when you read them you read the quoted word with emphasis- it makes it funnier.

Make sure to check out the blogger's FAQ's.

The photos above are some samples, and the credit card one is one that my friend found when we were pumping gas on a road trip!

"Enjoy"............ :)

Valentine’s Day dinner? More like tension on Table 2

Here's a Globe and Mail article with an interesting take on Valentine's day, Valentine’s Day dinner? More like tension on Table 2 by Wency Leung.

Here's an excerpt:

"As third-party observers of Valentine’s dates, many waiters and waitresses consider it one of the least romantic days of the year for dining out: an occasion when they witness more bickering, awkwardness and hostility between couples than on any other.

Chris and other veteran servers blame the social pressure that makes people prove their affection by splurging on an elaborate meal – whether they want to or not."


I personally have worked on Valentine's Day, and let me tell you, I rung through more boxes of condoms on that day alone than cumulatively during the whole year (one guy even bought two boxes,seems a bit over ambitious don't you think?)
