My So Called Life in Social Media

By //  by Candace Sampson 37 Comments

Recently, I was "unfriended" on Facebook. It's possible this has happened with others before but I never noticed. I have somewhere around 230 "friends" give or take a few but I don't watch the number count with an eagle eye so I could definitely miss it. This particular person though I did notice because in the timeline you can now see when other friends comment on other statuses, even if they're not your friends. Holy convuluted Batman, life in social media is hard, but I digress. The update …

Fibre 1 Almond & Cluster Delight Cereal

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

Fibre loves you. But it's an unrequited love. Sadly, many Canadians only get half the amount of fibre they need daily. Poor, poor neglected fibre. Poor neglected you too, because fibre is important even if you do keep shunning it. Fibre helps keep you regular, it can help lower overall cholesterol levels by lowering "bad" cholesterol levels, fibre can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, plus it's a rock star in the world of weight management. Still not loving fibre? I get it, …

Cruise – My Song of the Summer

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

This song Cruise is my song of the summer. It reminds me of life pre-children, pre-husband, riding in my convertible up to the beach with my hair blowing and the music blaring. Now, of course, things are different, which does not mean worse, just different. Now, I get to roll in the minivan with my hand out the window because the air-conditioning is broken, and the music is blaring because the girls are fighting again and it drowns them out. Same diff, right? …

The Internet Killed My Attention Span

By //  by Candace Sampson 17 Comments

The idea is that I'm supposed to step into this blog space and leave you a nice tidy little post about one thing. And herein lies the problem today. I don't have one thing. I have too many things. Way too many things. Yesterday, I attempted to sit down and work at my computer but 45 minutes in, I knew it wasn't happening. Between Buzzfeed and UpWorthy I lost my morning. Did I snap out of it and say "Get back to work, Candace?". I tried. I really did, but the suck of that damn Neil Patrick …
