No More Tears

February 1st, 2009
JANUARY 31ST, 2009 No More Tears If you thought hair dramas were just your problem, wait 'til you have a two-year-old girl. Get yourself out of your tangle as we did with a trip to kid-friendly hair salon Melonhead, recently arrived in Vancouver (with outlets across Canada). The colorful interior has funky arcade-style seats in the shape of cars, trains, planes and ponies, plus loads o ...

The Brekkie Up

January 30th, 2009
JANUARY 30TH, 2009 The Brekkie Up Your hungry man craves a big boy breakfast for lunch, but you refuse to join his chain gang at Denny's. Alas, there's a beacon on the hash brown horizon. Deacon's Corner, a new resto at Main and Alexander, is retro dining at its best. Fashioned after those classic diners you see in the movies, you'll find the requisite booths, banquette and swivel seat ...

Free Ride

January 29th, 2009
JANUARY 29TH, 2009 Free Ride We're carving out time in our busy schedules for an after hours board meeting. No shredding documents though—only snow. In the company of girlfriends, we headed with snowboards in tow to Mt. Seymour for Guys Night Out, Girls Ride Free.

Fashion Police Relief

January 28th, 2009
JANUARY 28, 2009 Fashion Police Relief A baby doll dress, a fringed leather jacket, chunky blonde streaks—if this reminds you of your last girls' night out (and not an '90s concert), you need to stage a fashion intervention, stat. Vitamin Daily's new “Don't Be A Don't Girl” video helps the wayward, Gladiator-sandal-wearing-in-winter gals who are missing out on their daily style s ...

Snap To It

January 28th, 2009
JANUARY 28TH, 2009 Snap To It When Polaroid announced last year it would stop producing their instant film, we started to weep, well, instantly. Documenting road trips would no longer have that certain retro je ne sais quoi. That was, until we stumbled upon a simple-to-use free software called Poladroid, which makes our modern day digital memories look exactly like the cool, classic sn ...

Precious Jules

January 27th, 2009
JANUARY 27TH, 2009 Precious Jules Forget diamonds: Bright, brilliant-cut dresses are a girl's best friend. And we found plenty at Kerrisdale's latest jewel, Jules & Eve. There's cocktail-ready Tracy Reese, Cynthia Rowley and Jay Godfrey's to be had, and we couldn't find a MINT Jodi Arnold number we didn't like (all of which were ridiculously chic and fit for The City crowd or a Gossip ...

Sheer Bliss

January 26th, 2009
JANUARY 26TH, 2009 Sheer Bliss Hollywood award season and its inundation of fresh-faced starlets has us feeling a tad insecure about our dull derma. So we took a page from the A-list beauty playbook and indulged in Bliss Spa's most famous facial. Available in a bring-home bottle (for those of us who can't charter a private jet to Bliss' New York flagship), the Triple Oxygen Instant Ene ...

The Ox Rocks

January 24th, 2009
JANUARY 24TH, 2009 The Ox Rocks Stubborn? Not your kid. The Chinese Year of the Ox kicks off Monday (until February 15, 2010) and they say people born under this sign are reliable, dependable and make excellent leaders—just like fellow Oxen Barack Obama, Walt Disney and Audrey Hepburn. To celebrate, pick up a pair of French Ox onesies (it says We are the Kings in 2009, Year of the Ox, ...
