The weekend brunch in Vancouver is as common as the construction cranes. And nothing beats a relaxing brunch, right? But, first you'll have to line up, then wait for your server and hope that he or she won't forget about your table. Perhaps you get the feeling that the owners are rushing you out of your table and out the door. ...

I have been to many spa locations, and Spa Utopia in North Vancouver is the one I worship dearly. I have been to the one in Pan Pacific, but it is just not the same.

I started to go Spa Utopia approximately 2 years ago when I discovered that my extended medical covered massages performed by Registered Massage Therapist. All I had to do is to ask for the receipt with ...

Besides all the shopping scene in Vancouver, let us not forget about the Seattle Premium Outlet which is approximately 1 1/2 hour away from here!

When comes to shopping, I am a loner. I like the tactic of 'get-in & get-out'. Therefore, this past Saturday, out of impulse, I drove myself down to the Seattle Premium Outlet. I took out $500 USD and bravely went over to the US custom ...

Last year we went to a free one day open house event at the North Vancouver Outdoor School. Though slightly rainy, we enjoyed a free day filled with paper making, kayaking, archery, and roasting bannock. All of this at a school campus nestled in the trees; beautiful and peaceful.

This year promises to be a beautiful sunny day, and the event will be even more spectacular.

Then event will ...

Hey ladies,
As promised, here is another one of my ongoing descriptions of places for girls who like girls.
Now it may not seem like much, being just a local neighbourhood pub, but Avantis on the Drive has a lot to be said for it and I will say it here for you:
o New flat screens TVs for watching your favourite sports & a juke box
o Very reasonably priced and decent pub food ...

The best way to get close and personal with Vancouver’s natural splendor is on a kayak. It’s quite a bit different than a canoe, yet it is safer. One of my first kayaking adventures brought me to Horseshoe Bay where my partner and I glided along the blue waters of the Sea to Sky Highway, all while enjoying the shore’s wildlife ...

My next several entries will feature different Restaurants/Bars/Pubs along the cool strip that is Commercial Drive.
This week's featured hang out: Stella's
Stella's is a primarily a Tapas bar and Belgium beer house. The clientele is mixed and there is always a significant lesbian contigent here, coming from all over the city. As well, the owners are committed to serving and expanding their number of queer girl customers as they say we ...

You wake up Saturday morning to see the sun shining in a blue sky and you decide to go for a hike. You're not up for anything strenuous or too far away. Pacific Spirit Regional Park near UBC will do the trick.

It's a seeming endless network of trails that can take a half hour to walk or the better part of the day. It's basically a flat walk, so it's a great first ...

When most people think of Cypress Mountain, they think of skiing and snowboarding. But as summer approaches, and the sun finally breaks through the clouds, I suggest heading to Cypress for some hiking.

This past weekend, I took advantage of the half-overcast sky and headed to Cypress Mountain for a two-hour hike to Cypress Falls. With Dawn Hanna's trusty "Best Hikes and Walks of Southwestern B.C." in hand, my boyfriend and ...

The Fiber Festival in Abbotsford starts today. For those of you that knit, crochet, make felted projects or you other crafty types, this festival is lots of fun. There are demonstrations of yarn spinning, weaving and other handiwork, lots of opportunities to buy all types of yarn and wool from local farmers. The 4H Clubs from around ...
