I'm a Christmas Craver



It's been awhile since my fingers hit the keyboard for a blog post - my apologies! I've been swamped with my 2.5 jobs lately (one is volunteer). But with December first just a couple of days away, I figured it's time for a CHRISTMAS POST!

Christmas is my most favourite time of year. I love xmas activities like decorating the tree and drinking candy cane flavoured drinks and getting dolled up for holiday parties. I start getting excited as soon as Halloween is over, but try to suppress my urge to deck the halls until at least late November.

That being said, I know some people just can't. So today class, let's discuss the three types of holiday lovers.

1. The Christmas Craver - This is the category I think I fall in. The Christmas Craver can be found dreaming of visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads in early November. However, you won't see a decoration on their tree before December 1st. They're respectful of earlier holidays like Remembrance Day, but have secretly been longing for the most wonderful time of the year since Halloween. Once December 1st hits though, The Christmas Craver will pack every single Christmas activity possible into their schedule. Decorating on Monday, gingerbread house on Tuesday, carolling Wednesday, you get the picture...

2. Holiday Humbug - A distant relative of Scrooge McDuck and The Grinch, the Holiday Humbug is that friend that puts off all of their shopping and decorating (if they do it at all) until the last minute. Then they will complain about the hustle and bustle of the city. Christmas music makes them cringe and instead of counting down the days until Christmas, they count down the days until it's over. The Holiday Humbug just sees Christmas as stress-filled and probably hates puppies too.

3.  Slow Down Santa - (side note, the names are getting worse as I go, I'm aware.) "Slow down, Santa!" is probably what the elves say when the jolly ol' fellow is hoofing back all of those cookies on Christmas eve. Friends of this type of holiday lover say the same thing...in October. The Slow Down Santa has their Christmas shopping done before they nail down a Halloween costume. They're wishing for snow when most of us are wishing for one more warm day. Not only do they wish Whoville was a real place, a Slow Down Santa also thinks everyone else needs to be this excited for Christmas this early too.

So there we have it, friends. The three types of holiday people (that I've encountered anyway). Which one are you?



Wine at the time: mulled. duh.

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&

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

15 Thoughts You Have While Apartment Hunting in Halifax

As I search for my third apartment in Halifax, I'm faced with the same thoughts I had last time I was apartment hunting. Halifax has everything - including lots of cool pads, but that doesn't mean there won't be a struggle to find the perfect one. Here are 15 thoughts you'll probably have if you've ever searched for an apartment in Halifax: How far North is too far North? Maybe we could just move to Clayton park and save money? Nah I don't want to be that far away from Argyle Street. I think I came to a party here once. Nope, that street has mice. Is it better to be close to a grocery store or close to a coffee shop? Am I cool enough to live on Agricola though? I'm not. I'm not cool enough for this street. I don't want to be in the student ghetto though. Looking on every page on Kijiji and then considering craigslist, only to realize that Kijiji is where it's at. GOD DAMMIT THERE'S NO PARKING AT ANY OF THESE APARTMENTS. M
