I'll be the first to admit it, everything in this post today you totally do not need. They are completely unnecessary. You could go your entire life without having anything in this article and you would die a satisfied individual. 

HOWEVER, just think of how much better your life could be with one of these items in it. Sure, you don't need it, but you are going to be SO happy once you...

This year the Super Bowl is set to play in New Orleans, pitting the Baltimore Ravens against the San Francisco 49ers.

Some of us have a horse in that race. The rest of us are there for the fun, food, and big budget commercials. And the food. Oh, did I already mention that?

One of my favourite appetizers is a perfect fit for this year's event, combining a rich creamy base with shrimp and colourful...

Cheat #1: Candles

Okay, seems kind of obvious I know, but seriously, candlelight makes everything (and everyone) look better. You can choose different candles sizes to create a mellow or dramatic setting, which all adds to the atmosphere. I like the idea of going with different lengths all together. Don't be afraid to overdose on the candlelight either, because there is no such...

Sure, we can all drool over Martha Stewart's impeccable spreads and dishes. But actually making them? Um, forget it. And yes, Pinterest does provide us with endless inspirational photos, but I think those are usually best left to the professionals. Besides, who's got time for all that fancy pants business during the holidays? 

What's a less-than-Martha type of chick to do...

When you get asked to come by for a personal mixology lesson at a downtown restaurant and local, you whole heartedly say: 'Yes! A thousand times, yes!'. So obviously when local hot spot Brassaii asked us to do exactly that, we went on over immediately to see what they had in store for us.

Sometimes I need a little help getting into the holiday spirit. The looming deadline for Christmas shopping and an overdose on cookies and eggnog make for a very grumpy Alexandra. 

To get out of the funk, there is nothing better than some holiday tunes. If you're anything like me, you'll need some jams to help you through the season. So I put together a playlist of 10 awesome,...

You should all know by now that I enjoy sipping a cocktail or two during the holiday season. I'm not picky either, I don't play favourites with my drinks. I'm a fan of wine, beer and have been known to even enjoy a glass of whiskey now and again

I shouldn't just say 'sipping', because I'm also a big fan of eating my drinks too. Confused? Well, a quick look at...

Welcome to the homemade holiday season! That's what I'm calling the season this year because (and though this may be a challenge), I'm trying to undertake as many DIY holiday projects as possible. 

With all the lovely Pinterest inspiration, it's hard not to day dream constantly about the fabulous projects you could try! Not only are they so much fun, but I love the idea of...

The last two years have been a blur.  Between having a baby, buying a 120-year-old house, and figuring out how to balance it all with a job I love, let's just say I'm personally keeping all the coffee houses in Toronto in the black.

Recently we told you about the newly released ChoicePlus Card from American Express.  It allows you to choose five...
