fffffantabulous

FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 13-19, 2009 WHAT I’M READING: The Sedona Method, which is all about releasing feelings so you don’t have to carry around so much angst. Not that I carry around a lot of angst or anything…not me. Oh no. Never. Excuse me while I go release those lies. WHAT ELSIE’S READING: [...]

out, out, damn toxins

I’m on day four of a cleanse right now. I won’t get into all the specifics. But suffice it to say my sugar binge over Christmas caught up with me. So for the last four days I have been eating raw veggies and a little fruit and juicing extraordinary concoctions (and when I say extraordinary [...]

my enlarged face

Here’s a TVO print ad I did a while back, which people keep sending me random messages about. I saw your face at Union station…I saw you on the Go train—your face. One of my friends apparently went up to the large picture of my face and started having a little chat with me. People [...]

zesty living

Kind of ironic that I’m posting this picture considering this one is lying (or probably standing) in her crib right now crying her eyes out. Because…I’m insisting on a nap. What can I say, she’s zesty in every respect. A strength she inherits from her mama. So I discovered on this website through Chevron. The [...]

the peeler blog and other challenges

Okay. So there were a few low moments during the holidays. But let me just zero in on the major cause of my holiday discomfort. Not that there weren’t other down moments. I mean there were definitely other moments. I would hate to leave you with the impression that everything is peaches and roses and [...]

8 holiday highlights

Decadent movie watching. Don’t get any ideas. When I say decadent, I’m talking about the amount of movies and not the content (As if you would expect anything less from me, particularly first time readers who may or may not be confused by the title of this blog, which in my opinion evokes only images [...]
