Hello World (again)!

It's a new year, so that means a new look, a new logo, and a brand spanking new site to kick things off. Yaaaaay!

So far, 2015 has given me a trip to the exotic, far away land of... wait for it.... wait for it... Edmonton, an appreciation for boxed wine (don't judge. These vino companies have really stepped up their game!) and the realization that my beloved pup is really slowing down in his old age (sniffle, tear).

Cardinal Zin - My latest boxed vino addiction // Maslow - He's old and crusty, but he's still the best // Flying over the Rockies 

While I've never been one for introspective posts, I have to share with you that as time goes by, there are certain things I'm learning to appreciate more. Family, friends, faults, and a really good laugh - just to name a few. 2015 should be the year of Quality Over Quantity - whether that's in relation to clothing, food, or special moments, etc. - it's not about how many you have, but instead how much you value and enjoy those really great things in your life. Make sense? 

**Stepping Off Soapbox**

Oh! And I wanted to send out a special thanks to the BRILLIANT Wyatt over at  Highflyer Advertising & Design for the amazing work on my logo and website. You're the bees knees! 

Have a great weekend you sexy beasts!

It's Pinterest For Men

It's called manteresting.com and it helps you to gather or share your 'manteresting' thoughts/ideas.
It's filled with pics of DIY projects, jokes, men's fashion tips, pretty ladies and of course, the holy grail: Bacon.
In a quirky take on pinterest, manterest uses "Nails" and "Bumps" for you to 'favourite' or 'like' something, rather than pinterests ususal pins or hearts.
**Insert manly grunt here**
Here's just a small sample of what you'll find on the site.

Oh! And if you're a cat lover, you're outta luck. On manteresting, it's all about man's best friend. No cute cat pics will be found anywhere on this site.

Enjoy.

New Album From Esthero + A Free Download

It's finally here!!!! It's been 7 looooong years since Esthero has released a full length album (the last one was 2005’s Wikked Lil’ Grrrls), and on Tuesday, Everything Is Expensive finally made it's full debut.

Here's an awesome article about the Canadian singer and her new album.

Here's the first single off the album. It's called 'Never Gonna Let You Go'.



This album is a solid mix of pop, trip-hop, and mellow stuff.

Speaking of mellow stuff, here's another tune off the new album. It's called 'Once'.



Like whatcha hear? You can download this track for free off Esthero's website.

What makes this album (and artist!) extra cool is the way you can purchase it. Esthero is using a 'Pledge Music' program, where you can pledge $10 for a digital download of the album, $25 for a signed CD, and then the pledge list goes KA-RAY-ZEE from there. For a $150 pledge, you can go for a hike in L.A's Griffith Park with Esthero (btw, that pledge option is now sold out!).
$500 = Korean BBQ date with Esthero in Hollywood
$800 = A private 2 hour karaoke booth party with the singer
$2000 = A lullaby sang to you, in person
$150,000 = Esthero will tattoo your initials on her ass. On - Her - ASS.

**fyi: 10% of all the money Esthero raises will be going to the charity of her choice. **

Dear GAD this woman is awesome. 

Want more info? Check out her Pledge Music Page.
Enjoy.

Dog shaming is pretty popular right now. It's where you take a pic of your pup, either caught in the act of doing something bad, or sitting next to a sign explaining the dogs specific shame.

Here are a few of my favourite examples for ya:
