Social media changing Olympic experience
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram—viewers can now get even closer to their Olympic favourites. Some say this could spoil the games and I am not sure how I feel about the matter. It’s great to get a backstage pass and view a photo of an athlete training or prepping beforehand but it can get a little overwhelming.

Grads Struggle to Find Work in Canada?
As a new grad and Vancouverite I struggled to find not only a good job—but any job. I have lived in a couple of Canadian cities and this was by far the hardest job hunt. Looking to learn about other grads experiences. If you are a new grad, student or between the ages of 19-29—please share your job hunting experience here.

Calling all August babes or leaf lovers!
As the August birthstone, this pretty little peridot pendant makes a great gift. One tear drop peridot gemstone hangs from a real leaf dipped in sterling silver. Simple yet beautiful. A sterling lobster clasp is used so you can easily attach it to any chain. Looks great worn on a short or long necklace. The total length of the pendant is 1.5 inches.
Made with love in Vancouver.

Beautiful Brass Leaf Earrings
Simplicity is key, right? These simple brass leaves are lightweight and always leave an impression. They are wire-wrapped to one small faceted piece of clear quartz. The total length of the earring is two inches from top to bottom. The leaver-backs are made of brass and have a little shell design on the front.
