Recently, I’ve found myself unfollowing many of my social media friends. I’m technically still “friends” with them on Facebook, but I’ve just eliminated them from popping up on my feed. It’s just that I can’t stand their perspective anymore – especially in this political climate. I understand that we form our views based on experience […]
I can’t believe I’m saying this! I’m only 36! Anyway, my husband and I saw The Phantom of the Opera over the weekend – my first time seeing it live since 1994 (I saw the crappy movie version in 2004). While the production was just okay – the chandelier wasn’t as elaborate as I remembered […]

I’m always amazed at people’s book collections. I’ve been to homes where people have books that have been passed down from generation to generation – some even have books that go back to the 19th century. These books are sometimes stored in regular, modern bookshelves, but the ones that are in old, woody rooms with […]
Since Prince William and Kate Middleton’s engagement, there have been many articles and newstories across a wide variety of media about “princess boot camps” – places little girls attend to learn proper etiquette and how to act like a “real princess.” These camps have been criticized by many feminists as reinforcing traditional roles of women having […]
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Good behaviour is very important at parties, so here are some rules to always remember (regardless of what kind of holiday or party you are going to): If you’re at a cocktail event, make sure you mingle. Standing around the buffet is not a good thing and neither is sitting in […]
