I cannot wait to see how Vancouver’s bars fair next year with Prophecy (#53 on the top 100 list) joining regulars Botanist Bar (#26) and Keefer Bar (#28).

If you know me, you know I can throw a mean party. And if you are lucky to be on my birthday guest list and have attended, you will know I really try to think of all the details. Here I had a chat with POPSUGAR writer Maressa Brown where she asked the question, “Who Pays For the Birthday Dinner?” 

A very timely piece after I hosted my birthday dinner mid Feb.  In the piece you will find my travel writer friend La Carmina as well.
