It’s the holidays. Some people are going to be idiots and drive drunk. Since 1977, police across Ontario have been trying to stop them by running spot checks as part of the Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere, or RIDE, program—which aims to not only catch drunk drivers, but deter them altogether….

ballad of the lupie
One of the biggest changes that I have made in 2011 has been to what I eat. This was prompted by finding out this summer that I have Lupus (and probably also fibromyalgia - but that’s a story for a different day, and the jury is still out on my official final diagnosis).
People keep telling my new diet is so restrictive. To be honest I don’t feel restricted, I feel liberated. After 2...

witch exchange
Hi darlings,
Just a quick update to say I received my lovely Yuletide Witch Exchange gifts from witchnymph, and wanted to share them with you all.
She sent me some wooden mala beads, a beautiful handmade poppet (and pouch to store her in), and the stunning Deviant Moon tarot deck. I also received a beautiful postcard with a carousel on it, I like the postcard image so much that I think...
euridasea asked: Hey :), I was just wondering (after seeing your witch shop post) what your favourite witch shop in Toronto was?

my rules for life - some things I've learned along...
1) Like attracts like
2) If you let something happen twice, it will probably happen thrice
3) You are responsible for making your own happiness
4) If someone says they are “pretty certain it’s gluten free”, skip it because it almost definitely has gluten in it and you’ll get a giant tummy ache*
* #4 also applies to “pretty certain it’s vegan” / and...
