We brought Luna back to our vet for her follow-up visit to get the FVRCP feline vaccine. The vet and vet tech also did a follow-up exam, just to make sure that everything was alright.

And we’re pleased to see that she weighed in at 1.97 kg or 4.34 lbs – a gain of 1.34 lbs. She’s going to be a little chubster soon.

Spice up your life!

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Spice World, starring the worldwide phenomenon that is the Spice Girls. There was no escape from Spice-mania. If you were a teenager or young adult in the late 90s, and not living under a rock, you’d probably have at least one favourite Spice Girls song and member of the band.

2017: A Retrospective

2017 retrospective
Another year in the books. Can’t believe we’re here already!

But it didn’t stop there. My contract with Pan Pacific Vancouver also came to an end on December 31. I had been working with them part-time for 2.5 years. So I’ll be starting 2018 with being on EI and looking for work.

It’s my 3rd and final (more on that later!) year of being a part of Pan Pacific Vancouver’s amazing Christmas Wish Breakfast! And I recruited some of my influencer friends to help out on our big 30th anniversary on December 13.

Every year, the Pan Pacific Vancouver holds one of Canada’s largest and most epic toy drives. Vancouverites are invited to come down and donate a new, unwrapped toy to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, and as a thank you, the hotel provides a complimentary, hot breakfast on the house.

The Killers: Wonderful Wonderful Tour Hits Vancouver

The Killers returned to Vancouver last week with their Wonderful Wonderful tour!

It has and hasn’t been a while. The band was here for 2016’s Pemberton Festival and then surprised fans with a last minute, intimate-as-hell, concert at the Commodore the day before. Needless to say, the 995 persons capacity at the Commodore was sold out even before the tickets even went on sale! Scandal!
