So I tried to do a vlog for you guys but my computer has been funking out and I’m going to presume that a shotty-noised-out (intentionally of course) webcam photo should suffice. It will.

Cleverly coining new phrases is what I’m all about. Though if you don’t find this even the slightest clever I can definitely accept that as well. I just really like alliteration to be honest, that’s where all the c’s came into play.

Truth is, I have been swamped this last little while. Swamped with either figuring out what my next steps are, what I’m doing now and how to do it better, event planning, and working two jobs (until end of last week, phew).

I’ve come back renewed. I know where I want to take mon career, I’m coming to terms of with the things that I’ve done in the last year (which by the by, I am completely going to summarize for myself in an upcoming birthday-esque post), and I know what skills and morsels of talent that I want to hone.

I want to be the creator of something great. I want to be an originator of art and content. And I’m looking to urbanebloc.com to help me channel that.

Watch out world, the soon-to-be-23 is coming.

Those LUSH Cosmetics folks are pretty innovative. The first striking attribute of everything they sell is that it looks delicious enough to eat. Secondly? It smells fit to consume as well. Pretty nifty. Happy Canada Day to you, from a 100% Canadian-made products retailer.

The shampoo bar concept revolves around less waste and heightened portability. While it might seem like you’re washing your hair with soap, the lather and texture may prove otherwise. I know the pains of spillage inside your luggage. Not pretty. Check out their other shampoo bars here. The ones pictured above are Ultimate Shine (vegan and $9.95) and Solid Shampoo (cinnamony goodness for $9.95).

Fragrance designers are genius, really. They truly know how to appeal to potential buyers, by selling the image. What better image to sell to men than playboy-millionaire-stylish-badass-working-man? I received the Paco Rabanne 1 Million fragrance for review and I think I was overwhelmed by the musk of the scent. It’s a great packaging I must say. Incredibly elaborate and definitely embodies the James Bond archetype. Marvellous. Boys - would you wear it?

Check the commercial below, I got a couple giggles out of it. Want more? Read the press release.

Congratulations to Anita Clarke from iwantigot.geekigirl.com for being profiled in Holt Renfrew windows in Vancouver and Toronto! It’s so amazing to see what the power of the blogger has done to fashion. Check the rest of the photos from her unveiling here.

Keep rockin’ it!

It’s a montage of LENKA’s Spring Euro Tour - I’ve been addicted to watching this type of video lately. It’s fun in motion - could use some more of it (and it might just be coming).

Check out the past Q&A that I did with the artist here.
