Nutella... COOKIES!!!

by Carmen Cruz

This may or may not be the half eaten jar in question
If you call yourself a Nutella Junkie, I feel your pain.  Maybe you're like me, and when you're doing your daily grocery run, you decide to include a small jar of Nutella. Then you rush home... to get the groceries into the fridge, of course. You crack open that jar of Nutella and say to yourself, 'I'm just gonna have a spoonful'. But one turns into another, and then another, and before you know it, you're reaching the halfway mark on that jar. This is when your Nutella remorse kicks in.
Why not further that regret?
I found this recipe online and thought I'd share.

Songs of The Week : All Covers

by Carmen Cruz

Covers? Why not. Let's start with one of my favourites....


Ben L'Oncle Soul ~ Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes get a MAJOR injection of soul.



The Bird and The Bee ~ I Can't Go For That - An AMAZING cover of a classic Hall & Oates tune.



Laura Marling ~ The Needle and The Damage Done - She does Neil Young proud.






Bruno Mars ~ Valerie - An awesome tribute to Amy Winehouse




Birdy ~ Skinny Love - Just when you thought this song wasn't depressing enough.... (Bon Iver). This little one is just 16 years old, comes from the UK and plays the piano like a pro.





Enjoy!

John Fluevog Shoe Sample Sale!

by Carmen Cruz

Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you've plugged this into your calendar:

Shoooooes glorious shoooooes!!!!

"John has always produced 'Unique Soles for Unique Souls', but these are even Uniquer (Uniquier?). There will be familiar Fluevog styles in never-before-seen colours, and familiar colours on never-before-seen styles — all in a wide range of sizes. In fact, rumour has it that this year was particularly creative for John and the design team, and the inspiration walls pushed all sorts of boundaries, resulting in sampling some pretty outrageous pieces. Not to mention the fact that we found some perfect condition Vintage Vogs! Imagine having a pair of shoes that are truly 100%, one of a kind.
If you have been known to wear shoes, you're gonna want to head down to the Granville store this weekend — your shoes are waiting for you...."



June 1st & 2nd, only at 837 Granville Street, Vancouver. Doors open at 10am!

The Mullet is BACK!!!... Kinda

It's a party in the front, but even MORE party in the back. Apparently, this is the latest trend right now. It's unfortunately called 'The Mullet Dress.'
Shmeh.









Selena Gomez might be the only one who did it right. I can't believe I just said that. 
Winners, here I come...???

New Tune From Kylie Minogue

by Carmen Cruz

Kylie Minogue is one of those singers who almost everyone likes (ALMOST).     
Here she is with a brand new (and very catchy) tune called 'Time Bomb'.



Look for this song to be a part of Kylie's 'Greatest Hits' album, coming out soon.

Random Fact: Kylie is well known for her petite feet. Apparently she's a size 5 and foot pervs across the globe love tracking down pictures of the singers perfect toes. Awkward...

I have to admit that I'm kind of a fan of Kylie (not her feet).
Here are a few other awesome tunes by the teeny, tiny hottie (She's barely over 5 feet tall!!!).

*In Your Eyes*


*Love At First Sight*



Enjoy!
