One man’s trash is another man’s treasure...we’ve all heard that line before. And usually only 2 things come to mind when I hear someone say it – either the man’s talking about his grand collection of crap or he’s talking about a relationship. But never in my wildest dream did I actually think or see that phrase taking to life literally until Justin Gignac came along with his eccentric idea about boxing garbage ( I don’t mean those things that no one really has a need for but actual ...


Christmas is a time spent with family and loved ones. It’s a lovely opportunity to catch up on lost times and rekindles relationships. Now while not all may agree and feel the same but personally I’ve always taken my pets for family and with Christmas being a family holiday, they are not forgotten and neglected from any part of it. That means, they have their share of the Christmas lunch/dinner, gathering/involvement with the ‘family  hour’ in the living room and without a doubt the excitement of opening presents ...


Honestly not quite sure what came over me today but the rainy weather got me all nostalgic. I remember when I was a child, I loved the rain. I loved to make those quick dashes to the car or that little walk under drizzles. It was fun and it was comforting. I know I should be using an umbrella in the rain but I hardly ever do. In fact quite the opposite, I’ll use it when it’s the sun is blazing hot. The only real concern from playing in the rain was catching a cold, but these days a cold is the least of your concerns.

One of the most precious assets that man can own is his memories. As time and tide waits for no man, neither does that specific moment be it the first time you gazed into the eyes of the woman you now proudly call your wife or the moment your baby daughter/son first opened her/his eyes in the world.

Nothing captures those moments save for your memory. Memories are exactly what keeps the past in our present and gives legacy to the dead , they meaning to our existence, tell ...



Alright so it’s just entering the third week of November and already I’m dreaming of Christmas. The heart warming family gathering, the scrumptious food, the anticipation for happy faces as they open my presents, the warmth of delicious hot cocoa and yummy roasted chestnuts, the sounds of children’s laughter as they play out in the snow...oh I’m so pining for Christmas.

But you know, when I think of Christmas, I don’t just picture the above or Old St ...



Taking the big step and choosing to go green or living the sustainable life can be quite the challenge. Unless you were born into a family that is already eco conscious, then green protocols can be just as shocking as the family protocols of your new in-laws. It takes adjusting, patience and determination because sometimes it can get a bit trying and many give up after a week or so.

When you first start off, similar to a diet or going vegetarian ...



Lord knows I haven’t taken a holiday in a while. Blame it on the busy schedule, the current economic climate or just my tied up finances, but fact of the matter is I just haven’t been anywhere for a break or quality alone with my thoughts and senses for a really long time.  The closest I ever come to it is when I hear of the lovely experience from my friends or when I browse through a magazine or a site and see these beautiful sights that just leave my heart sunken with envy.

But ...



I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of the traditional oriental costumes. The sight of beautiful Japanese women in exquisite kimonos or delicate Chinese women in rich silk Cheong Sam or elegant hanfu always leaves me both in admiration and wishful thinking (that I too can have that exotic beauty). The colours, the textures, the uniqueness are all extraordinary!

But even though these are the costumes of two very different cultures ...



Okay so nature’s got some really lovely colours that we wish we had in our hair, eyes, lips, skin etc. But over the years, our dreams have been brought to life by the birth of an even brighter and wider range of colours made available in our little colour pots and jars, all thanks to artificial colour pigments.

But we know those come at a price, a financial one, a health one and an environmental one. So what does the sustainable green woman do? She turns to Mother Nature to ‘borrow’ their colours that’s what we do.
