May the holiday season fill your home with
joy, your heart with love, and your life with laughter.
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination.

Levi’s® and Rolling Stone: 50 years of music and style
TORONTO (November 13, 2017) – The Levi’s® brand and Rolling Stone announce a partnership – now available in Canada - to celebrate two unique 50th anniversary milestones: The Levi’s® Type III Trucker jacket, and Rolling Stone’s 50th birthday. Both iconic brands were founded in San Francisco, California and played prominent roles in the city’s 1967 Summer of Love movement, which shook the world and has continued to influence our culture ever since. Just as musicians have chosen to tell their stories to Rolling Stone for 50 years, many of them also chose Levi’s® as their first pick for authentic style on and off the stage.
To pay tribute to the iconic partnership, Levi’s® and Rolling Stone collaborated on a special limited edition collection of clothing. At launch, the collection will range from $78 tees to $198 Truckers.
The partnership expanded with custom content feature in Rolling Stone showcasing genre-inspired vintage pieces, like the Trucker, prevalent in the magazine’s pages throughout their 50 years.
The month of October is almost over and just in the last few days the weather is starting to feel more like autumn. Recently, the weather has been extremely warm and has broken many records in regards to Toronto's average weather. But now it's time to get back on track with fall 2017 fashion and during the Fall/Winter 17/18 the use of colour merlot was one of the main trends.

Valentine' Day is fast approaching and there's still plenty of last-minute Valentine's Day gifts beyond chocolates that you can get your hands on at the eleventh hour. Check out some gift ideas for the special someone in your life below!
We all have a litany of excuses to skip a workout; time, family, work etc. Too often the fact that the gym feels overwhelming and intimidating becomes yet another workout deterrent; which absolutely no one needs Make the gym a more inviting - or at least more sanitary and less frustrating - space by sticking to these five simple gym etiquette rules.
Five Simple rules:
1. Don’t go up to other members and tell them what they are doing wrong. Don’t judge other member's form. Stay in your own fitness lane - perfect your own form.
It is hard enough to get oneself to the gym, no one needs a negative individual coming up to them and criticizing their form. Especially because most people who are overly judgmental don't actually have good form. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. When you find yourself wanting to judge remind yourself of the saying "any judgement is self judgement". Instead of judging others take a look at your own form
2. Don’t hang out on machines and chat with your friends. The gym is not a Starbucks.
I am all for having a fitness buddy. Going to the gym is way more fun with a friend, but don't hang out on the leg press chatting. Talk to your friend after, before or in the change room. Other people want to use the machines.
3. Don’t use your outside voice.
If you go to the gym with a fitness buddy - great - but use inside voices. No one needs to know about your love life or your work troubles.
4. Always wipe off the machines after use.
5. Don’t stay on a cardio machine for longer than thirty minutes if you can see the gym is busy.
Like Christmas/New Year in other
countries, Chinese New Year is simply a much-needed winter holiday at
an auspicious time. Chinese New Year was set to coincide with the slack time
just before a new year of farm work begins, as a time of preparation.
