The Daisy Field

I am sure you have seen the ads on Facebook and Instagram, I know I had seen enough of them before I took the plunge.   “Rule the World, Hands-Free” they say, it’s a cross body purse but better!  You see celebrities like Geena Davis, Alyssa Milano and even some of your favourite bachelorette’s are using it.  So what makes it different from the 600 other cross body bags you can find out there?   Well, let me tell you! This bag lays completely flat against your body, wraps around your hip, and has strategically placed pockets to ensure that you can still carry all the important things!  The magic is that the center portion is empty so that it lays flat (slightly stiff when it first gets there but then the fabric/leather relaxes) Here is a picture of Me in my sash bag ….and a much nicer picture of Jessica Hall in hers  As you can see my bag is full and still laying almost completely flat against my body, and the adjus...

When you think Greek, you think of warm family meals, LOTS of garlic, olive oil, flavours of dill and lemon etc.   You often think tender grilled meat and the first dish that likely comes to mind right now is lamb souvlaki.   This iconic dish wasn’t even on the menu at our recent lunch at The Greek in Gastown. The Greek Gastown is the newest location for this family run trio of restaurants which started with the much loved Anatoli Souvlaki on the north shore.   It’s a cute little restaurant just up from the Gassy Jack statue and we had made a reservation for 12:15 for a party of 10 to celebrate a birthday lunch.   We called to advise we were running a few minutes late, part of the party arrived at 12:15 and the rest were there by 12:22.   I happened to be in the slower group and when we arrived they were still setting up our table on the balcony, then they changed their mind and set up a table for 9 on the bottom floor.   ...

As you may or may not know, I am a fairly new Planner babe!   What's a planner babe....why a fabulous babe who uses an old school pen and paper planner.   I find it helps with my memory and gives me an opportunity to be creative with my daily life.  Here is a pic of one of the beginner spreads in my planner... That's not what you are really here for though is it.   On to the Review!! Hey Planner Babes....have you heard about SophistiCrate yet?  I know I hadn't until 2 weeks ago!  I saw a post on instagram and watched an unboxing.   I love this box because I don't need to get a box if its not going to work for me. This is a great curated box but it is not a subscription.  You can purchase the boxes you want as long as there is still stock.  The last two boxes have come in at $39.99 for a minimum of $75 product.  They keep limited quantities on hand and this month was a box jammed full of hard to p...

Its howdy doody time….its howdy doo….wait?   what was I talking about? Oh yeah…. Its update time….I know my three loyal followers are wondering if I fell off the face of the earth and I kind of feel like I have. Okay lets go back in the history books and see where our intrepid hero was when we last spoke with her…. HOLY F^&*)^!!!!!   I was leaving for Europe….has it really been almost a year!!!!!!!!! Man I am going to have to break this one up….so here is what I will do.   I will write a general update and go back and review my pics and journals and then I will write a series of three posts.   One for Italy, one for France and a final one  for London and my overall feelings about the trip. I guess for your hard core fans you have seen the pics on facebook and heard the stories around the watercooler, but for those of you who aren’t in the know….I will tell you all the gritty details.   Tales of...

Its been awhile dear readers but I am back in the land of the english speakers (i have been for almost a month sorry!!!!) I was trying to get some time in with the handsome man in my life, get my house in order and get back on track with work after a month away, so of course i got SICK!!  YAY.    I will have lots of pictures and some stories to share with you all who are not on my facebook.   But first I want to tell you about the one and only subscription box I keep around (even when money is tight).  This is my gift to me as an incentive to keep working hard on being a bigger, badder, sexier, stronger - more healthy version of myself. I have reviewed a few boxes but for those who don't know, FabFitFun is a lifestyle box filled with full size (and occaional travel size) products that are focused on keeping you fabulous, fit and having fun.  I am so excited about this next box that I have to share with you the spoilers we have been given. I h...

OH….Mah….GAAAWWDDDD I am freaking out…………… I have to say I am feeling a lot of big feelings right now….as many of you know I am doing something I have never done before!   I am taking an entire month off work and will be going to europe.  I am not working, I am not on a missions trip, I am simply being an indulgent tourist! Originally it was going to be a romantic trip for two to Rome and then meet up with family for an amazing france extravaganza followed by my first trip to the home of my ancestors.  Okay not really… I am going to London and my family is from Luton…well part of them.   I also have Dakota Sioux….and some other european and who knows really whats on the other side…german and american if I remember without checking out my ancestry tree again. I digress, can you tell I am a bit scattered? Anyway back to this romantic trip for 1…..This trip has been in the planning stages for almost two years.   When we first ...
