Soaking Up Summer in the Mazda MX5 RF GT

Living in beautiful Vancouver comes with a trade-off … many a soggy day. In fact, our city has been nicknamed Raincouver. Several years ago while living on the west coast, I had a convertible. The leaky soft-top and moldly interior weren’t worth the glam of feeling the wind in my hair on the dry days. As a weather anchor, today I can attest that our coastal forecasts change by the hour. It can go from sunny to wet in a matter of moments. So when it comes to choosing a new car, many Vancouverites would likely put a convertible near the bottom of their wish list. Fast forward to the summer of 2019. Never in a million years did I expect to fall in love with the 2019 Mazda MX5 RF but I did. This compact, two-seater convertible is a dream. If you like attention on the road – you’ll get it. I was stopped at many a traffic light where looky-loos would roll down their windows just to comment... ...

Music Makes Me Wanna…Travel KINGSTON, JAMAICA

As the legend Bob Marley sings… “One good thing about music …when it hits you, you feel no pain”. Kingston, Jamaica is a melting pot of music and history and positive vibrations! With so many legends and genres of music born out of Kingston, Jamaica from rock steady, reggae and ska to dance hall…. let’s just say a music lovers vacation here is by far the coolest music history class you will ever take. The safest and easiest way to navigate the epic music scene in Kingston is to hire a driver. I highly recommend JUTA Tours so that you can plan your own agenda and hit up all the sights and sounds at your own irie pace. Take a guided bus tour like the ‘Making of The Music Tour’ or map out your own musical adventure. Since you are heading to the birthplace of reggae, remember that Jamaica is a place for those music lovers with an open mind and an open heart. Interestingly, flocks of Japanese and Europeans... ...

Time to Lose the Razor Ladies!

It’s 2018 and I am thankful that we earth women no longer prance around in loin cloths waiting for our hairy partners to hunt and gather while we tend to our family duties. It’s 2018 and we take pride in our personal grooming.  Duties are now thankfully evenly distributed (mostly) and technology has advanced beyond our wildest dreams. So hear me loud and clear girlfriends. We have surrendered to the hassle of shaving long enough.  Today we can bid farewell to unwanted hair …for good! Goodbye stubborn razor burns and ugly ingrown bikini lines and hello smooth, sexy skin. Now that we are onboard with getting rid of unwanted hair, how do we do it?  Choose a quick, effective, reputable, pain-free technology from a trusted source like Pure Light Laser.  They are masters of skin care. My first Pure Light Laser  hair removal session was soothing, painless and quick… just the opposite of what I envisioned.  Rita Moldovanos at Pure Light Laser uses the Palomar Starlux 500, an advanced laser... ...
