Badass Songs for the Best WorkoutBy March 23, 2013 - 4:06pm With the summer months right around the corner, getting to the gym is crucial. Whether your goal is to be healthy or sculpt a bikini body, it’s time to take off that cozy winter layer. I find that music has a huge effect on my workouts, in terms of duration and especially, effort. One song can be the difference between a thirty second plank and an exhausting, three minute drop-to-the-floor plank. READ MORE |

Top 3 Movies to See When You've Got The Post-Oscar BluesBy March 14, 2013 - 9:22pm By: Eugina Gelbelman Right in the aftermath of Oscar Season, before the big summer movies are set to come out, the movie landscape appears barren and nary a butt can be found in a theater seat. Some very interesting movies tend to slip under the radar in this time, and if this long, dreary winter and school year is getting to you, here are three great movies you could see to forget about that term paper or midterm for a while.

A Psychedelic StoryBy February 25, 2013 - 7:59pm It has been awhile since I ventured back up into the Mile End of Montreal to my favourite venue in the city, Cabaret du Mile End. However a very special place beckoned my return for a very special event. Ty Segall, the so-called king of fuzz and psychedelic garage rock played one of the best concerts I’ve been to this year last Tuesday. With the Igloofest craze swarming over Montreal, I had yet to attend a rock show this semester. At heart, my preference lies with heavy rock, not electronic music... so I had great expectations going into this show. Co-workers and friends all raved about how incredible Ty Segall (supposedly) is live. I wanted to believe them at the time -- and now I can! Firstly, the opening bands that are often dreadful... |

Fourth Year Diaries: Tea Café/SalonBy February 12, 2013 - 12:32am This week’s blog post is inspired by my new favourite study place! I have been obsessed with loose-leaf teas this year (thanks to David’s Tea) and have been curious about trying some new cafés that specialize in teas. So far I’ve tried two great places, one more recommended for studying, while the other was fun for a lunch with friends. The tea selections at both of these places are fairly overwhelming, but I’ve found it fun to try new flavours that aren’t sitting on my shelf at home (although it is tempting to resort to peppermint everytime). I’m hoping to find some new places soon, but in the mean time here are two great spots for any tea fanatics to try out. READ MORE |
