Cutom Levi's Jacket REVEAL (video)

IMG_0475.jpeg

Last month, Levi’s opened up shop in the Rideau Centre. I’m a huge fan of their brand so it was pretty exciting to be invited to their grand opening event!

They even said they’d MAKE ME a jacket. This is a video of me seeing it for the first time!

Thank you Levi’s! This is the jacket I received: Original Sherpa Trucker Jacket - with work done by the wonderful: Julius & Tanya!!

Here’s a video from the event - these masterminds helped me plan this whole look and I am over-the-moon happy with how it all turned out!!

We NEED to Talk.

In times of darkness look for the light.
Working in media, I find myself consuming a lot of stories. Constantly paying attention to global issues. I become attached to stories that move me.
Sometimes the hardest stories are the ones we wish we never heard but they are the ones we need to hear the most.

Beyond playing your favourite pop music during my radio show or sharing a few laughs about celebrity news or whatever, I’m a human trying to process the state of the world through a sometimes indescribably horrid lens.
Talking allows me to process the tougher stories and harsher realities that come along with absorbing so much.
I feel these stories and I genuinely want to help. It’s the only way I know how.

Ottawa Valley Art

My mom is a phenomenally talented artist but isn’t on social media. I’m gonna be posting her work here and via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

These oars are up for grabs. They are full sized paddles (sold separately) which would look rad in your home or cottage!

HUGE SUCCESS on the Birthday Wish Front!

Thanks to YOU - we delivered a whole lotta awesome to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario!

Toys, craft supplies, books, DVDs, cash and more were given to help put smiles on the faces of children receiving treatment at CHEO as part of my ‘Birthday Wish’ campaign.

I have decided to leave this campaign active. We have surpassed my initial goal (set at $1,000) but I would like this to stay active for ongoing donations. This will be an annual thing, so long as I have support of my employers, the hospital and wonderful humans like you.

Thank you for giving. Thank you for sharing. Keep this cause in mind, 100% of the proceeds go directly to FUN STUFF for kids (aged 0-18) at CHEO.

If you want to launch your own fundraiser the process is very simple.

Visit cheofoundation.com/donate, create your page and decide where you’d like the funds to go then get raisin’!

Mandy Arsenault, CHEO’s Community Engagement Officer, says she there are so many options for people to give back to the hospital “[ranging] from birthdays... fundraisers [things like] lemonade stands and bake sales'... i'm here to support them."

Mandy helped set me up to raise funds for the Child Life department. Here’s more information that could help you if you’re considering the same for your next birthday, event or in honour of someone who’s life was touched by CHEO:

Thank you!
