#ROGUESTORIES – Alysia Harji, Mom, Valedictorian
As if growing up wasn’t difficult enough, having to expedite the timeline that you have to do it is even more challenging. I met Alysia Harji, a featured student for Seneca College’s Because It Matters campaign to talk about her journey through what seem like paralyzing obstacles. Alysia’s navigated a troubled teenage pregnancy, graduating high […]
Beauty Tips from around the World
One of my most prized possessions is my Passport. It’s filled with stamps from around the world and each stamp brings back a distinct memory from every place I’ve been too. In the past 5 years, I spent quite a bit of time backpacking. Those care free days meant a complete disregard for my normal […]
Bad Girl Recipes: Better Than PSL

Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin muffins, Tim Horton’s pumpkin donuts, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin Pringles, and Pumpkin Pie shampoo by Philosophy? The pumpkin craze is endless. We’re more than just about the pumpkin purchases, we’re about making our very own #BADGIRLRECIPES pumpkin pie. Here’s how […]
What the Matcha?
Matcha’s the new girl in town and everywhere we look, she’s saying hello. Matcha cakes, matcha teas, matcha lattés, matcha matcha matcha. So what is it? Why’s she all kinds of popular these days? Great question! I asked myself the same thing and did a bit of digging. Matcha is finely ground green tea leaves […]
For the Love of Juice
I’m a huge believer that a healthy lifestyle takes time and will always be a work-in-progress. It’s a combination of working out + a healthy diet + a positive self image.

Do something fun and adventurous – pack a bag of snacks, a car full of good friends, and throw on some comfortable runners to head out into […]
Architectural Muse – Aga Khan Museum
Setting New Standards When I first arrived at the Aga Khan Museum, the 10,000 square-metre white stone structure was all that I can see. If you run you hand across the surface, you’ll notice the immaculate polished finish. Designed by one of the world’s leading architects, Pritzker Prize winner Fumihiko Maki in collaboration with architecture modernist Charles […]
At 25, I quit life and moved to Costa Rica.
In November of last year, I stuffed a backpack full of bikinis, clothes, dresses and a pair of flip flops and flew down to Costa Rica. What was supposed to be a mini-vaca became what I’d like to describe as a “this chick is going through an early 20s-life-crisis”. So let me backtrack a bit […]
The Quest to #LiveUncorked
It’s summer, so let’s celebrate like we mean it! Campo Viejo, makers of a very awesome wine, have invited me to show how I live life uncorked…and I said yes because that seems to be the only way I live (cheesy wink, no but seriously). It’s been an incredible 2015 thus far, and I only have […]
Summer Sips with Canadian Club
I see you over there, wanting a summer drink. Patio season calls for adventure – whether it’s switching up your drinking taste palette to trying to create something on your own…summertime is bound to be exciting.
