Sunshine Village Resort

I love the first days of spring! Patios, sunshine, short shorts and bike rides. I also love sunny spring days on the ski hill which include the likes of friends, soft snow, park laps and high fives! I love spring because you can make a trip out to the mountains, and be back home in time for a BBQ, a bike ride, and plenty of drinks on a patio! Spring days on the ski hill are almost just as good as a powder day. Instead of bottomless powder and constant face shots, you get soft snow and forgiving... [Keep Reading]

Don't be shy

I've heard all to often from people "oh you work there!?" "That place is so nice" "It’s too expensive for me". Blah blah blah not the case if you can afford to drink on 17th you can afford to drink anywhere on 17th. In fact some of the "nice" or "fancy" places may be on par with your usual watering whole, in some instances cheaper. Most young people don't experience these places because of intimidation. They may feel underdressed or they're not going to be allowed in. Just walk the walk! Pros... [Keep Reading]

Bali

#travel, #bali, #surf

It seems the more you travel, the more you crave it. You crave the experiences, the adventure, the laughs and the memories that outlast it all. The more things I see, the more I want to see and the longer my bucket list gets. I just returned from an amazing trip to Bali, with a quick 4 days in Australia inbetween. We had the best of times and I will definitely be heading back again.We were only there for 2 weeks and I would definitely recommend heading over for longer, as there really is... [Keep Reading]

The Journey

Coachella, Fashion, Camping, Travel

I always love the journey and process of any adventure. Packing, getting to the airport, going through security, what some people find annoying and stressful I take delight! My friends and I decided we were going to camp at Coachella. So our plan was to all fly into LAX, rent a car and hang out in LA for the day and then head down to Palm Springs before we were allowed to set up camp for the weekend. I've never been to LA, but I have a love for all big cities (New York City being my number one... [Keep Reading]

When it comes to great tasting food, Calgary knows whats up. With many new local, chef owned boutique restaurants opening up in Calgary, it's not hard finding a good meal. High end and chain restaurants appear to be phasing out, in my eyes anyways. 17th Ave in Calgary this summer is going to be littered with amazing food joints and patios! Today, the highly anticipated Clive Burger opened its doors. I of course had to go check it out. The idea behind Clive Burger was to offer simple burgers,... [Keep Reading]

The Music

Coachella, Music, Festival, California

This just might be the best music festival ever. With a stacked lineup of almost every genera of music, it's like a buffet of music. A little bit of this a little bit of that, there really is something for everyone.GOBI TENTLA RIOTSThe biggest challenge, like any tri-day music festival, is trying to coordinate a schedule so you can see every music set you want. With so many overlapping sets, you typically end up catching half a set or leaving early to see another. Or what some people did (now... [Keep Reading]

Rock and Roll conspiracy

Theories behind the death and cover up of Paul McCartney

#Beatles #conspiracy #PaulMcCartney #abbeyroad

The first week of the Coachella music festival launched a whole new level to the music industry with the introduction of the hologram. It also set forth a new set of rumors and confirmations to some that a dead musician is still alive. I have always been interested in how rumors of conspiracy and fake death circulate when someone famous dies. I guess it is people’s way of dealing with it and not wanting to let go of something that has an impact on their lives. We have all heard these rumors... [Keep Reading]
