U.G.L.Y You ain’t got no alibi

U.G.L.Y You ain’t got no alibi

With ugly sweater vendors popping up on every street corner in the city and chain stores like Urban Planet offering a full line of ugly holiday attire, this just might be the year to give in to this cheesy Christmas trend. If you love to run outdoors and take part in any of Vancouver’s year round 5Ks like Earth Day, Colour Me Rad or Oktoberfest, it’s no surprise someone came up with the Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Dash.  This themed run /walk/hop 5K spectacle will offer the fit and not-so-fit a chance to burn off a few holiday calories while at the same time supporting the Children’s Wish Foundation. How can anyone say no to participating in an #UglyDash in support of sick kids?  Children’s Wish Foundation has a big heart and makes real –life dreams comes true by raising money to fulfill a favourite wish for children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.  Right about now, Santa is making his list and going to find out who’s been naughty or nice.... ...

Monsters of Schlock break world record at Fright Nights

MONSTERS OF SCHLOCK COMPLETE WORLD RECORD-BREAKING STUNT AT FRIGHT NIGHTS AT PLAYLAND Crazy daredevils, Canada’s Monsters of Schlock, break another Guinness World Record at Playland Fright Nights on October 26. Pain hath no fury for these guys, this is the 22 attempt at such pain staking acts of insanity. No surprise really that they choose Playland over and over for the spectacle of their stunts. Burnaby Q. Orbax set the World Record for the most motorcycles driven over a human body whilst laying on a bed of nails in under two minutes. The previous world record was held by Simone Calati from Italy. In 2009, The Monsters of Schlock set a Guinness World Record for most mousetraps released on a human tongue in one minute, and in 2011 they successfully broke the Guinness World Record for longest truck pull with meat hooks in a person’s back, pulling a four-tonne truck a total of 111.7 meters. Then, once again in 2013, the Monsters broke another Guinness World Record for weightlifting using... ...

Family Adventure: A night in the wild at the GV Zoo

Family Adventure: A night in the wild at the GV Zoo

Calling all wildlife fans looking for a family adventure! Join us at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, just a forty-minute drive to Aldergrove. Arriving at the gates just shy of closing, the anticipation and excitement builds. Smack in the middle of the zoo is a large park-like setting next to a pond complete with gazebos, fire pits and even port-o-lets. Nothing compares to the thrill of pitching a tent under the stars kitty-corner to a Siberian Tiger, a couple of playful baboons and a stealth jaguar. Just knowing the lions, tigers and bears are in close proximity ups the adventure ante plenty. After setting up camp, getting settled and meeting our camping neighbors we head off on a private exploration. Zoo grounds cover a large area so you will get your fill of fresh air, nature and exercise. Note to parents: DO bring bikes or scooters for the kids if possible. The trails are paved. Although you can rent a quad cycle onsite, children old enough to pedal or push themselves... ...

Raw and Unfiltered: My 30 Day Yoga Breakthrough

Raw and Unfiltered: My 30 Day Yoga Breakthrough

Join me for the next thirty days as I adventure within. My intention is to share with you the raw, unfiltered truth of a 30 Day Yoga Challenge including any physical, emotional and spiritual discoveries along the way. October is one of my least favourite months. Dark and gloomy, dull and depressing, something inside of me dies when summer ends and darkness descends.  Not this year, not this October, not now. For the next thirty days I will adventure within. I will leave the comfort of the great outdoors and trade it for the indoors, for my mat and for a warm, safe, studio setting.  I  only wish I had zero expectations attached to this experience. The truth is, my expectations are huge. I want it all; personal growth, renewal, change, transformation….in only thirty days of course. Maybe that’s why it is called a yoga challenge. If you have seen the 30 Day Challenge signage at your own studio, reacted with curiosity yet never took part, we are on the same page. Tune in daily. My intention is nothing... ...

BucketlistYVR – Bobsledding with Ford

BucketlistYVR – Bobsledding with Ford

If anyone ever invites you on a bucket list mission – it is your duty to say yes no matter what. By no means was this an ordinary Friday but rather a Ford Friday fun mission to Whistler with famed Bucket List author and travel journalist Robin Esrock we call #bucketlistYVR. Aside from myself, other Bloggers on this mission included Dennis Pang from Pangcouver, Vanessa Choot from Modern Mix Vancouver, James Chung from HelloVancity and Lee-Anne Ekland from Mom Paradigm . It was not until the day before the mission that we learned via Twitter who our adventure companions were. Everyone was excited, nervous, anxious and eager to try something as thrilling and adventurous as bobsledding. We met bright and early at Coastal Ford to briefly introduce ourselves and let Ford pair us with our ultimate ride.   The best way to escape rainy day blues – go for a scenic drive in a vehicle made for fun! I let Will drive on the way up to Whistler so I could relax and soak up the... ...
