I'm a big kid now!

Little PR humour for ya'.. don't handle a crisis like this guy. 



In case it's not obvious enough, the above title should be read to the tune of the pull-up commercials.


Maybe I haven't mentioned this before, or maybe I have; I just graduated with my second post-secondary "thing". In June I received my advanced diploma in public relations. Adding that bad boy to my somewhat useless Bachelor of Arts, I figured I'd find a job quicker than Lindsay Lohan would relapse (in all honesty, she's doing pretty well - check it out). Turns out, that's now how it works.

I worked my little promo-girl job all summer until that miraculous phone call a couple of days ago. The phone call more or less consisted of a job offer and me getting extremely excited and continuously interrupting my new boss. Followed by me texting everyone I know to tell them I finally convinced someone that I knew what I was talking about.

So, now I'm employed. With a big kid job. Step 3 of my journey to adulthood (Step 1 being moving in with my boyfriend and Step 2 - paying my own cell phone bill). Starting a new job is always a little scary, but starting your first job in your career is a whole new level. This is when I need to prove myself and my skills - hopefully I succeed in that! I'm also reallllllllyyyyy excited to start this job. It's with an organization that I've always admired and although it's entry-level, I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a lot more than getting coffee and answering the phone.

Most of my pals from my PR class are also employed now, and they're all doing awesome. Go us! Woo!

What was your first "big kid job"?

Ria Mae Album Review

Ria Mae is from the little-big city of Halifax, Nova Scotia and has had no problem packing venues - be it dive bars or concert halls - since her hit single, Clothes Off , hit the airwaves last year. Mae moved to Montreal in the winter in hopes of being inspired and courted by the city’s booming music scene. It looks like that’s exactly what happened as she released her self-titled album on June 3rd. While her sound is mostly pop, there are hints of alternative, hip-hop and even R&B that give her songs a sexy, Montreal-esque feel that has her fans dancing and sipping cocktails while jamming to her music. The new album features her two singles - Clothes Off and Gold - both with incredibly catchy beats and melodies. There’s so much sex appeal behind these tunes (especially Clothes, as you could’ve probably guessed) that it has probably become a regular in many club playlists. Many of the other songs on the album, though, have more of a pop feel which really showcase Mae’s voc...

What I Found in The Depths of the Internet

I work an office job. Luckily, that office job is in the marketing and promotions department, so I'm not constantly tied to my desk. BUT there are days that I spend, like, 6 hours in a row on my computer. Aside from poor posture, this also gives me the opportunity to search the web and waste time discovering cool things like recipes and home decor and new bands!!! Usually when I find a new thing  that I love, I annoy the crap out of my boyfriend or my iPhone group chat with details about said thing. So instead, why not plop them here? Here are 5 things that I've found while I should've been working: 1.  couchseats.com This website is kind of like Pinterest - but for music. You can totally get lost in a deep, deep hole of clicking and listening. If you're a music lover this is absolutely going to be your best friend. It features endless videos of live music from super well-known artists like Dave Grohl and Ed Sheeran, to more indie musicians like We Are Twin. You...

I definitely didn't cry while writing this piece about The Tragically Hip...

The Tragically Hip - Man Machine Poem Day 3 in Toronto, ON Armed with will and determination...and grace, too. Gord Downie, lead of The Tragically Hip, embodies that line from the song Grace, Too. Those words have never been felt deeper than they were these last few weeks as the band takes the stage in multiple cities across Canada for what has been deemed their farewell tour. In May, the band released a statement letting their adoring fans know that frontman Gord Downie - a Canadian treasure on the same level (or above) as icons like Don Cherry and Wayne Gretzky - was suffering from terminal brain cancer. The news hit Canadians hard. But the love for The Hip was never more evident as tickets to their Man Machine Poem tour (named after their most recent album which dropped in June) sold out in no time. Fans of the band wanted nothing more than to be alongside Gord and his band during these difficult times and to experience an incredible performance by them just one more ti...
