For what had seemed like months (or maybe even years) now, the only word that had become appropriate for my hair situation was... "sad". My mane was limp, my bang situation unfortunate, and a good hair day was a concept that was completely foreign to me. Naturally, then, I jumped at the opportunity when I was invited to get my hair cut by Mark McLeod, a master stylist at ARROJO in New York (yes, the Nick Arrojo!) who had just relocated to Vancouver. It did not disappoint to say the least; a …

Tuesday Treats
Last week, I turned 24. Although I know that I'm not yet old, I do feel like I've gotten to the age where I'm really not young anymore. Though that may seem like cause for worry to some, I really couldn't be more thrilled to have aged a year... likely because of how spoiled I was this year!

The day after, my girlfriends treated me to a …
