Raising the Roof
Long-term Solutions for Canada's Homeless

The 2013 Toque campaign is underway!

2013 marks the 16th Annual Toque Campaign! That’s a lot of individuals, community groups, agencies, businesses and the media who have supported this signature, national campaign which has raised over $3.5 million for local, Partner Agencies working towards long-term solutions to homelessness. Canadians just like you who believe that together we can make a difference, one toque at a time.

What caught my attention this week...

One word, Arpège.

12 Best (& worst)...

Art & makeup???

I have no words for this. I understand the reputations of both the artist and Dior but the price for this is, well, a little over the top. I see no justifications for it.

Non beauty related but still enjoyable...

In light of last week's milestone could this be the next youtube record holder? Move over Gangnam Style... The One Pound Fish Man is here!
