If Jessica Biel's pink wedding is anything to go by, the coloured wedding dress is going to be hot next season. This got us thinking, if the non-traditional dress is gaining popularity, is this a sign of what's to come for spring wedding trends?

Boo! We're only a few weeks away from one of my favourite holidays: Halloween! 

I love Halloween because it's awesome for both adults and children (and adult-children like myself who refuse to grow up). While the kids are overdosing on sugar, I think you should sit back, relax and pour yourself a Halloween inspired cocktail.

Stackable, square ice cream scoops? Say what?! Yes, these perfect ice cream shaping blocks can be yours!

Have we mentioned yet that we have a wee obsession with summer BBQs? You can trust us when we say that when it comes to BBQs, we know our stuff. In fact, we even hosted our own CA staff soiree not too long ago (complete with tiki torches and all!). 

Before the summer comes to a close, we think it's time for one last major BBQ. And what better way to wrap it up then with some delicious,...

With not one, but two August long weekends soon making their way into summer, we thought it was only appropriate that we celebrate the best way we know how: with a backyard BBQ! I am convinced that the summer was invented just so we could have BBQs. Is there really anything better?

Every so often, a product comes along that makes my eyes go wide and my jaw drop. This is one of those products. It's so gratuitously ridiculous and luxuorious. I can't help but want one for my own selfish purposes.

'What is this magical product?', you might be asking. Well, brace yourself. 


This is 'The Barbecue Dining Boat' and it costs a hefty US$50,000. So, yes, it...
