Here’s what up this week:
1.Census Data. Actually, this should be titled “Census o’ fun” because there were a ton of infographics released last week when the 2011 Statscan census data was released (and that’s fun, I swear). Here are a few of my favourites.
2. Kittens + Art = Cuuuuute. Have you seen these artworks yet? It’s a project that combines shelter kittens with art for a nice profit (and some great publicity). I’d buy one!
3. Bruce Cockburn. I’m seeing Bruce play live tonight in New Glasgow, NS. Tickets were a gift from me to mom for Christmas. Nothing is better than live music in a small venue, and I think Cockburn is one of those iconic Candians that if you have the chance to see them play live, you just can’t pass it up.
4. New DF, GF, SF Recipes. This is more of question/request. I’m always on the hunt for simple recipes that omit gluten, dairy, and most sugar, and also don’t add back weird substitutes. I tried this 2-ingredient fudge over the weekend, and it was pretty darn delicious. If you have any other suggestions, throw them my way!
5. LUSH in-store experience. I LOVE going to LUSH. Every time I visit, the staff are super helpful and seriously want to tell you how awesome the products are. Sure, it’s a bit much for some people, but I eat it up! I’m a diehard fan of their teatree toner, vanishing cream, herbalism cleanser, bar shampoos and American Cream conditioner. And, if you’re hard up for a salon appointment, there’s a good chance they’ll give you a freebie treatment in store! I’ve had everything from facials to hand massages to foot scrubs. All I can say is, I hope their staff earn more than minimum wage.
