New Product Review Club Offer: Huggies Slip-On Diaper Pants

Sponsored

When I first became a mom, I worried about sleepless nights, separation anxiety, and the Terrible Twos. I also assumed that the day my child started standing on her own and taking first shaky steps was a sign that things were about to get a little easier. No slings and carriers! No sore arms and back! Erm, right?

I was shocked to learn just how busy a newly minted toddler can be. My...

Posing Wall: Meet Shannon

Hello there! My name is Shannon and I’m a 3rd year co-op student from the University of Waterloo studying Fine Arts, Business, and Digital Arts Communication. After I finish my degree, I would ideally like to start working as a Curatorial Assistant in an art gallery. Other creative fields that interest me are UX design, product development, and digital marketing.  I’m doing my co-op here...

Chick Picks: Venus Razors (plus Enter to WIN a 1-Year Supply!)

Sponsored

Recently we offered 30 of our readers the opportunity to try the entire lineup of Venus cartridges and handles (did you know that any Venus cartridge fits any Venus handle anytime? In a custom-size-fits-none world, this is huge).

Our lucky testers put their legs, underarms, and bikini areas through the ringer to give the 411 on which Venus pairings they loved best. About time too, since...

We Love Fridays 'Staff Picks' Edition: Incredible Sites, Services & Apps

We once spoke about how much we learned on a daily basis simply by being online. Personally, I'm currently enrolled at U of YouTube, working towards my PhD in braiding hair and makeup application.

Related note: IMDb is THE BEST procrastination tool. Ever wanted to know every single movie that Nicholas Cage was in? Of course you and obviously you need to find out right this minute...

Product Review Club Offer: Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous White

Sponsored

Recently we talked about the importance of having a bright white smile. It's not just that many of us feel better with pretty pearlies, but a recent survey (by the makers of Crest and Oral-B) also found that others actually expect you to have nice teeth, too.

A great smile can help you succeed in your career. Is that because you're just a little more confident when you...

Toronto Event: Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women's Cancers

Sponsored

It's a sobering statistic: approximately 1 in 7 Canadian women will be diagnosed with some form of breast or gynecological cancer in their lifetime (source: EndCancer.ca). As scary as that sounds, there is also good news. Early detection is on the rise, survival rates are climbing, and treatment options are expanding!

These advancements have mass awareness campaigns and fundraisers to...

2013 Oscars Red Carpet Recap (plus Comment to Win!)

The Academy Awards are a wrap for this year with relatively few surprises in our Oscar prediction brackets. But since we really only care about the red carpet, let's get right to it and name our picks for Best, Worst, and everything in between.

Charlize's look was much edgier than what we usually expect to see at the Oscars....

Gratuitous Hottie Round Up: 10 Underrated Guys We Love

While I love me some Hemsworth Bros, some Jake Gyllenhaal, some dapper John Hamm (oh! and I cannot forget my future husband Tom Hardy), these boys are established, big names in Hollywood and there are a ton of very sexy men out there who don't nearly get enough attention. 

Today, I am aiming to solve that problem. We searched far and wide to come up with 10 guys that made us stop...

15 Knit Sweaters to Cozy Up In

My pre-requisite for a boyfriend? I have to be allowed to steal your sweater. Or all of them. I can’t get enough of warm and cozy oversized sweaters this season. Wrapping up in a knit is so comforting, like a bowl of chicken noodle soup in clothing form! 

While I do love a BF's sweater, sometimes they can seriously lack in the cuteness department. Which is why I thought it was necessary...
