What Lies Beneath…The season of nice is over…now we can get back to the business of being naughty. Why wait for the “all things pink, fluffy, heart shaped and red” holiday to arrive to be someone’s nicely wrapped package. I say there is no time like the present to treat yourself to something nice and him to something naughty… ...

The camera never lies …Ok, faced with MoH’s photographic evidence I am forced to confess that on Monday, when I told you I returned home without The Dress , I was guilty of having misled you. The truth of the matter is that whilst I did indeed arrive home empty handed, Mrs Adams didn’t because an hour after walking into Sassi Holford I had bought The Dress and Mrs Adams had assumed the coveted role of Keeper of The Dress. Did I feel guilty? That Mrs Adams, KoTD had to struggle on and off the tube and bus with my precious cargo, yes. That I had yielded to temptation and bought The Dress? No, not a b...

Are you being lied to?Have you ever caught someone in a lie? Did you do anything about it? I used to pride myself on being diplomatic and even keeled and if I thought someone was lying to me, I would merely brush it off and tell myself, "That's just who they are." I think it's because I turned 30, or because I have a toddler and every drop of patience I have is spent on her, but I really don't care anymore about being diplomatic or shall we even say, "mature." I don't consider this attitude change of mine a good thing - it's like I'm one of those old ladies who will tell you to hurry the F up when you're taking t...

lie to your wedding vendor?
I’ve got a bee in my bonnet. (and apparently I’m a 150 years old by using that phrase) Surfing the Internets I found this (ahem) gem of a post (by an author, I can only assume is NOT a wedding professional) suggesting to brides to LIE to their vendors to get better deals on their wedding…. (her quote) “…when dealing with certain vendors I have a better word that gives you, the bride/groom, more wiggle room: LIE.” Let’s let that sink in for a moment. Nobody likes to be deceived. Not brides. And NOT vendors. People believe that if the word “wedding” is attached to products/s...

I lied.1. I told you I would post the winner of The Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook on this chocolate sheet cake post. And I didn’t. I’m announcing it here. 2. I told you one person would win it. And that’s just not true either. You see… you guys blew me away today with all your comments. I can’t believe how many of you have made Ree’s recipes. Seriously… UH-MAZING! (And, thanks for all the suggestions by the way!) It makes me smile inside to read how many people enjoy her site as much as I do. So, today, because reading all your comments put me in such a good mood. And also, because I ...

Would you Lie to Your Wedding Vendors?
I was interviewed by the Globe & Mail for Saturday’s article I do, but Shhh: Bargain Hunting Brides Keep Mum to Cut Their Costs. The reporter asked how I feel about brides telling vendors that they are having a party instead of a wedding, to avoid higher costs. Read my answer here. How do you feel about lying to wedding vendors? BTW, The Globe & Mail also ran an article on the top trends in 2010. No surprise that smaller guests lists made the list. ...

Love or Lie? By Rod AnkerA very beautiful or handsome person can have confidence issues too. And I have always been intrigued by the “Why is it so factor”. A few months ago a good friend informed me that her parents were in search of a suitable boy; around the same time she started dating a foreigner to ‘pass time’ and soon, she liked him, and perhaps, loved him too. Her parents finally found a suitable boy, and she married the man, her parents deemed fit. When I scratched the surface as to why she wouldn’t follow her heart and take a risk it made me think more and more. To start with I must say, I felt sad...
