Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basTrue story: My friend and I were in New York City and we went to a very expensive, fancy restaurant. The type of place where a man with a little broom comes around to wipe the crumbs off your table between every course. It was kind of a #treatyoself situation. We sat down and took a look at the wine list (cause that's what you do at fancy places) and everything seemed like gibberish. It may have...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis Valentine's Day, I decided that instead of buying an expensive gift for the BF that will surely end up unused at the back of his closet, I would make him a home cooked, delicious meal. Delicious being a relative term. In any case, I've always felt that food = love. The creation of an amazing meal with amazing ingredients, with all the effort you put into it, is an expression of your love. So...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am not exactly what you might call "sporty" or "athletic" or "able to lift something", though I do appreciate the Olympic season. While the summer Olympics are great for getting your fill of eye candy (hello men's diving), I actually prefer the winter Olympics. There is something about being oh-so-cozy indoors watching someone ski while the snow rages that makes me feel good about life. In the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis recipe is my own concoction (well, I did have some help from the BF), but I did all the heavy lifting (mostly). I made it one wintery, snowy night and it was just what I needed as I curled up on the couch. It's become my signature cocktail for this major cold spell as it warms you right up and it pairs sweet and spicy perfectly. It's not difficult at all ('cause y'all know me and how lazy I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWho else woke up with a splitting headache on January 1st? Fess up and raise your hand. We've all been there. January 1st was mostly spent in bed for me, with a brief break when I crawled into the kitchen to scavenge for food and then back to bed. Think bear in hibernation mode.
Next year though, I'll be prepared. Here are a few hangover cure tips and tricks that the chick staffers swear by....

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe recently introduced you to heath guru Talia Chai, who gave us the low down on how to survive the temptations of holiday party season. While we'd love to down a nice tall glass of eggnog every day this season, it isn't exactly the healthiest option. So, we asked Talia to give us her favourite smoothie recipe for something delicious and nutritious.
Here's what Talia had to...
