Foot massages. I love them. I went for my first foot massage about 2 years ago, and shortly after, I was addicted. I started going a 2-3 times a month. I had a problem. So I had an intervention, and now, I rarely go. Just recently, a new modern reflexology spa called Foot Lounge just opened. Trouble.

It’s a great lounge. The massages are awesome. But my favorite part is this: they have a masseuse who gives foot readings. Foot what? Readings. In smart people terms, podomancy.

Your feet tell a story. The right is your masculine side, your Ying. It symbolizes work, money, “manly” things. (Debatable.) The left is your feminine side, your Yang. It symbolizes decision making, trust, and other “girly” things. According to my awesome masseuse, my Ying is dominant over my Yang. I’m a manly she-male who sucks at decision making (truth) and trusting people (truth too). To strengthen my Yang, I need to cut down on sweets. Stress causes me to eat sweets, which in turn, clouds my judgement and triggers bad decision making. Note to self: do not mix alcohol and sugar.

Now if I want to manifest my Ying and make it stronger, I need to find a regular social activity. Like, sports. Pleease. I told the masseuse that I do engage in a social activity. It’s called blogging. Apparently, sitting in front of your computer alone for hours is not a social activity. What?

Anyways, while I’m getting my massage and podomany on, I’m feeling all zen and shit. Our deep, intellectual conversation about my life is suddenly interrupted: [in Chinese] ”WAAAAAH! You need to get a lymph node massage!!! Your legs are sooo FAT!” Yup. That’s a typical traditional Chinese woman for you. Mind you, during the foot massage you could only see my calves. So now I have fat calves too, right under my fat thighs. Common theme?

My BFF and I did burst out laughing though. No offence taken.

XO,

PS – I thought this outfit was appropriate for the post because it’s bold and strong. Since I’m manly and all.

I need your help.

Dear readers, bloggers & kind hearted bunnies,

It’s MOVEMBER! And for all of you that aren’t familiar, November is prostate cancer month. Starting on November 1st with clean shaven faces, men dedicate themselves to growing their mo-staches for the entire month, while raising funds and awareness to support the cause.  As you can imagine, as the month progresses, they can start looking pretty pervy. Unless you’re Asian of course. Many of my poor male Asian friends have confided in me about the battles they face — battles of trying to grow a ‘stache that consists of more than a hair or two. So sad. :(

Now just because (most) of us ladies aren’t able to participate in the same way the men do, that doesn’t stop us. This year, my BFF and I have joined MOVAMBER ALERT – a group of women, originating from Vancouver, united together to show support and raise funds to promote men’s health. My BFF lost her dear gramps to prostate cancer a few years ago, so this is a cause that’s close to heart.

Okay, I’m ready to help!

All it takes is a minute of your time to make a difference. There is no minimum contribution. Anything you can do to help is sincerely appreciated.

>> DONATE NOW & SUPPORT THE CAUSE!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I don’t ask often, but I need your help. We’re hoping that you’ll join us in making a difference. “IT IS STACHE-UTORY LAW TO SUPPORT THE MO-VEMENT!” Together, we stand. GO BUNNIES GO!

It couldn’t have been better. My quarter century birthday was perfect. No, almost better than perfect. (Minus a few VIB’s that didn’t make it out, and some reservation mishaps.) I’m not usually the type to do anything big or extravagant. In fact, a couple of my last birthdays were so lame that I didn’t want to be there. Cereal. I also may or may not have been in the best mood… but still. They kinda @#$%ing sucked.

So this year being the milestone that it is, I wanted to have some fun, because frankly I think I deserve some fun. And by fun, I mean… VEGAS! Okay, so my posts are a little backwards. I was in Vegas for Halloween and my actual birthday. It was epic, amazing and I promise to post it soon.

Back home in Vancouver though, I celebrated at Charm Modern Thai which we turned into a little bit of… the Bunnie Bar. I’ve never had a birthday so, so pink. With awesome food, awesome service and a whole lot of ridiculously awesome people, it really was an awesome time. Well, I think so anyways, but what do I remember. ;) Get ready to be bunnie bombed with photos!

And there you have it, the most epic Bunnie Bar party EVAR. Thanks to everybunny — my amazing friends, my tweethearts and the new faces that came to celebrate with me! You really made my 25th THAT much better. Loves you all.

XO,

PS. I made it through the night alive on my own two feet and a few spoons of pad thai. I partied like it was my birthday, and so did a few others. Epic.

It’s fall and apparently supposed to be one of the coldest winter’s we’ve experienced in 20 years. Local Vancouver designer Kyla Leslie was definitely in the right mind set when she opened up a pop-up shop in Mount Pleasant for Kove this month of October.

I stopped by the launch party for the fw11 collection: Forever, Autumn earlier this month to snuggle up in some cozy west coast knits in a fitting west coast inspired ambiance.

Pop by the shop when you get a chance to try on some scarves, toques and wraps — they’re only here until October 30th. And if your heart’s not set on you see, Kyla can help you create a piece that’s unique and suited to your style! It’s the perfect time to stock up and keep yourself (and anyone else who’s concerned) from turning into an icicle!

XO,

BOOGA BOOGA!

Hmmm…. so I was at the Night Market a couple of weeks ago with my BFF, and we walked by this booth with brightly colored hats and accessories. Being the fun, coooool person that I am, I obviously tried it on. Whatdoya think??

XO,

So it’s round 4 of the playoffs and the Stanley Cup Finals. The last time we made it to the finals, I was 7 years old. It’s been just that long. So you can imagine how hyped everyone is, and how much this means.

Vancouver is a city that loves their hockey, loves their Canucks.

Vancouver is a city that loves their hockey, loves their Canucks.

Remember back in 2010 when the world was watching Vancouver host the winter Olympics? The streets were filled with red and white. This time around, it’s the same thing. Except it’s blue, white and some green. They even lit the Olympic cauldron for the playoffs. That’s how much we love the Canucks. It’s the shit.

That’s one thing I love about this city. When we’re together, we’re really together.

On a side note, I’ve never high-fived and touched so many strangers. Good time to carry around some hand sanitizer.

Let’s bring the cup home.

XO,
