The Art of Living by Carrie MacPherson
One of the must-have items for these early fall days, is a blanket cape. Whether it’s plaid, houndstooth or a solid colour – it’s the perfect piece to throw over a casual outfit for a cozy but chic look. I picked this outfit out at Louwana Creek on Laurier West because I loved the pants ...
Shopping for workout clothes is not my favourite sport, but now that there’s a new boutique on Laurier West that caters to fashion-conscious fitness fans, I’ve been warming up to it. Louwana Creek carries a great selection of local and on-trend activewear. Instead of sporting one brand head-to-toe (I’m referring to the Lulu-lemming types), here ...
A few years ago, a friend asked me if I wanted to attend an auction. I immediately thought of the livestock auctions that my father would bring me to when I was a kid. I remembered the smell of animals, dust and hay. I liked to tag along to hear the auctioneers and to see ...
I don't do well in extreme weather, so the arrival of Fall is always an exciting time for me.

Without a doubt, an espresso martini is one of my faves. Since I adore my Nespresso, of course I make my espresso martinis with shots of Nespresso coffee! I like to serve this cocktail to my guests after dinner as a digestif. Below is my version of an espresso martini that works as a pick-me-up ...
When SodaStream Canada asked if I would like to try a convenient healthy food delivery service to help simplify my life – of course I said yes. For the past month, I received fresh ingredients and easy-to-prepare recipes for 3 meals a week. I had just moved into my new home so the MissFresh meals couldn’t ...
Straight to the top! If you remember Club 737 at the top of Place Ville Marie you’ll remember going for the view and not much else. Now you can head there for reinvented Québec cuisine thanks to the latest addition to the string of Les Enfants Terribles restaurants (there is one in Outremont and another ...
