Recently we told you about a fundraiser for an important cause, specifically the Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women's Cancers. This 2-day walk through scenic Toronto in September directly benefits women's cancer research and patient care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
Why should this matter to you? Statistics tell us that 1 in 9 Canadian women will develop breast cancer...

Sexy-smooth hairless legs and underarms aren't just a summer thing, of course. Date nights, last-minute beach getaways and regular visits to the gym in anticipation of warmer days ahead guarantee that personal grooming is always in season.
Whether you're a shaver, waxer, or epilator-er (in my case "all of the above"), staying one step ahead of stubble can be a chore. Sometimes...

Most of us have a Cause near to our hearts and we do what we can to support it. Usually that means putting money in an envelope or training for a marathon, but the charity we're introducing you to today is really putting the "fun" back into fundraising.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis is a story about good intentions. And chocolate. And alcohol.
So as you can imagine, three of my favourite things.
After a few trips to several local grocers (it turns out ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese are rather hard to find) and the liquor store, I came home laden with ingredients and a firm plan to make the recipe "tomorrow".

Some of us have a horse in that race. The rest of us are there for the fun, food, and big budget commercials. And the food. Oh, did I already mention that?

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAfter the holidays I discovered some forgotten cranberries at the bottom of my fridge. Looking over to the counter at some browning bananas, I immediately thought of my favourite loaf cake.
