It's Wednesday, which means that we're halfway through the week. It also means that I kinda think we have to celebrate. I mean, we made it halfway through, soooo yeah, that's a reason if I ever heard one. And what better way to celebrate than with a cocktail? 

I've really been loving cocktails lately. A well made cocktail at the end of the day? Nothing better. Of course, a fabulous glass of...

Like I mentioned in my 'me time' essentials article, November is total hibernation mode month. I mean, going out in winter su-ucks the big one. You have to pay coat check, you can't wear your cute dresses anymore and you spend at least an hour shivering in a line up. Boo.

I love my friends and family, but when I hibernate I get to...

Good company? Yes. Scones, cookies, and those ridiculously tiny yet super fancy sandwiches? Uh, yes please! Tea parties should not be reserved for five year olds, their teddy bears and...

You know when you cook this incredibly beautiful meal for someone and they sit down and they just look and nibble at it like a bird and you're all like, 'I JUST PUT MY BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS, EAT IT'? Well, this Halloween, you can finally say that literally because these cocktails and food options are both deliciously tasty yet look totally disgusting. Ranging from bloody cakes (um...

It's October. A.K.A. Oktober. As in, Oktoberfest. As in, the holiday dedicated to all things German, Beer and Sausage related. That's my kind of holiday. I, for one, am all for beer guzzling however, I know I may be in the minority around here. 


When you imagine a 'typical beer fan', you're probably picturing some Homer Simpson-esque guy, pot bellied and balding with a big ol' mug o' beer in...

Here at CA HQ in Canada, Thanksgiving is upon us! For the chicks south of us, yes we know, we're kooky like that. But Canadian Thanksgiving happens at one of the best times of the year. The leaves have just started to turn colours and the weather is just cool enough to enjoy being outside with a nice knit sweater. It makes for the perfect background to one of the best holidays.  Good...

I adore caesars. I think they're my favourite cocktail, of all time. Which is saying something. They're spicy, salty and tangy. The perfect combination. Plus, you can get away with drinking them at brunch = awesome. 

Since the long weekend is upon us (who else cannot wait to just sit in a hammock in the sun?), I thought it was only appropriate to present a few different caesar-iffic styles of...
