There has been some exciting news that has come out in the past week or so. One item being Pantone has picked it's colour for 2017 and wait for it..... it is Greenery! Sure, we look out the window now and everything is covered in white but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the fresh, outdoorsy feel of Greenery throughout the year by incorporating the colour in our condos. Greenery...

It's that time of year to start chipping away at that Christmas shopping. (Although some "I'm so cool" people probably finished their shopping in Sept). But for those of us who still have a lot of shopping to do and have no idea what to give anyone, we'd better get off our butts. If you have a Millennial on your list, I've come up with some ideas through my extensive Googling. ...
Productivity is what everyone is always trying to improve. The amount of time I've wasted reading articles about increasing productivity is ridiculous. And yes I see the irony in it. The latest productivity hack, the so-called experts are saying now, is that the most productive hour is 4:30 am. This is where I draw the line and say "get off me bro". What...
Last night's World Cup of Hockey championship game was amazing. Team Canada was clutch and won the game with a heroic last-minute shorthanded goal. The talent on Team Canada was off the charts with Sidney Crosby being named MVP of the tournament. The excitement of the World Cup of Hockey tournament had downtown Toronto even more alive and buzzing than normal. It is such a...
It's the day after Labour Day, better known to parents as the day the kids go back to school! So now that those adorable monsters have something better to do with their days then drive you crazy, it's time to recoup. Plan out the goals for the remaining months of the year. When 2016 started did you have hopes of moving this year? Perhaps into something larger to accommodate the...
The summer Olympics are on and it is amazing to see all the wonderfully skilled people in the world! The friendly good sportsmanship of the Olympics makes it a truly inspiring event! It is also pretty motivating, as let's face it, these athletes are in great shape! Us non-Olympic athletes perhaps could use more time in the fitness rooms. Does your condo have a fitness...
When designing an office space in your condo there are lots of decisions to be made. If your condo unit comes with a den then more likely than not your office will go in there. If you do not have a den then finding a small corner in your bedroom or living area will do the trick! I've noticed a lot of condo residents making use of the front hallway if there is enough space to set up...
We often take this miraculous planet for granted, and hardly look up and around to witness all of its splendour and beauty. So if anyone or anything deserves a day to show our love and gratitude it is our Mother Earth! One thing is clear, and that is we have to be more mindful of the everyday little things we do that can harm our planet. Remembering to always recycle, don't litter (does...
Chatter about the full moon and lunar eclipse tonight has reminded us that whether your condo is big or small, the best way to utilize space is to have furniture that moonlights as other pieces of furniture. Take for example the everyday stool. This stool can be used as something to stand on when you're reaching up for something, but did you know it could also be used as a last...
Women, whether you know it or not, or get the recognition or not, one thing is clear and that is you rule the world! You have the power to shape generations and you usually carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You are capable, you are strong, and you are filled with compassion and empathy. I think of my Grandmothers, Mom and Daughters as I write this, and many...
