It wouldn’t be fair to showcase artists and not highlight one of my favourites – Janelle Burger. She does fabulous fashion illustrations, stationery, iPhone cases and even shirts. Check out her online store. I was lucky that she was able to do illustrations and the cover for my own book, The Love List.
Located in Paris, I had the opportunity to meet up with her early this year and visit one of her favourite places, Le Bon Marche. It was fantastic!
Don’t forget to follow her on twitter: janelleburgers and instagram: janelleburger (ps: that’s not her real name:)

BIG THINGS are happening to my site this month! Can’t wait… until then – let’s talk about juice.
Nectar juicery, a local company, offers up cold pressed juices. And let me tell you – they are tasty! They are camping out all month at Holt Renfrew Vancouver on the skybridge with free customized cleansing consultations! A win win in my books:) My trainer would call me lazy – but who wants to spend their half their day with a blender in a room full of vegetables concocting the perfect juice – especially when it’s sunny?
I’ve been drinking the Chlorophyll Aid post and pre workouts. The juice contains 9.5 alkaline water, chlorophyll, minerals, manuka honey, +26, lemon. It’s great for the skin and lowers the pH of the body (read: it’s a good thing!).
Don’t worry if you can’t get around to picking up juice at the stand this month – you can sign up for delivery service to your business/residence as well as find them at YYoga.
Make sure you follow Nectar juicery on twitter/instagram: @NECTARjuicery and ‘Like’ them on Facebook too and let them know where they should pop up next!

Buyer beware! These are no ordinary pretzel snacks!
Fatty Sundays are scrumptious, delicious chocolate dipped pretzels created by two lovely sisters from Brooklyn (Ali and Lauren).
Great name aside – Fatty Sundays are flavourful, fun and are the perfect marriage between salty and sweet treats.
PS: There are so many great flavours to choose from but my vote is for the smooth mint!
Here is a 15% discount code (FS15XEM) for your next order (good until Oct 1, 2014). Yay!
Don’t forget to add them on twitter and instagram: @fattysundays and of course, ‘Like’ them on Facebook.

On a very early morning I made my way over to Sliders, to devour two great sliders that were hand crafted by Haz Aliessa.

1) How long have you lived in NY?
Born in NY on March 3 1989 (lived here ever since)
2) What is your favourite thing to eat in NY?
Pizza
3) When did you decided to take up real estate?

4) Tell me about your favourite slider.

5) Name three characteristics (in no particular order) on your Love List?
Loyalty, honesty, smart and she’s gotta be hot 🙂
