Sydney Sweeney Announces SYRN Romantic Lingerie Early Access Return

Reports indicated that SYRN's debut collection sold out soon after it became available. The limited availability was part of a strategy directed by Sydney Sweeney. She used the sellout of the Seductress release to increase public interest rather than respond to demand after the fact. The rollout generated heightened visibility for the launch, and Romantic will now debut ahead of its original schedule. The truth is that it is all about making consumers covet it.

I tried a budget-friendly kitchen design hack guaranteed to last a lifetime — here’s how it went

After purchasing a new home that was built in the 1970s, I was on the hunt for quick, affordable ways to transform my space. My kitchen was a clean slate – with plain white cupboards and no hardware. They felt awkward to open, with some drawers having a gap underneath and others offering no easy way to open them. I knew I wanted high-quality hardware that would last, and as usual, wanted to support Canadian businesses wherever possible.  Read More

Anne Hathaway Reveals Devil Wears Prada 2 Dress Code Suggestion For Fans

The Devil Wears Prada marked every heel strike with a cash register “cha-ching.” In the event you have not had the pleasure of pumping yourself up on a slab of marble in Manolos, let me paint a picture for you: Anne Hathaway, who has an estimated net worth of $80 million, says that the way to go in a potential Devil Wears Prada sequel is to ditch the stilettos and instead opt for what she called a “comfy shoe.” That's a very simple sentence with big repercussions. A lot of people loved it. A lot of people complained that it sounded “woke.” And in Reddit threads and in the comments section of Instagram (where people seem to be posting their bare feet), people suggested that they didn’t want to sit through a second installment that forced its characters to suffer through blisters in order to make a point about being a boss. Okay. Deep breath. Because the Runway universe has officially turned on its head.

The highly-rated portable heater and fire pit everyone’s talking about: Does it live up to the hype?

The weather in B.C.this winter has flipped between grey and rainy, to sunny and chilly. However unpredictable, I’ve loved spending time outdoors regardless, thanks to the Ninja Fireside360 Outdoor Heater & Fire Pit. It started as the centrepiece of our backyard hangouts, but has been portable enough to join us for outdoor dinners at friends and even on the dock of a floating sauna. Between chilly early‑morning coffees, apres‑ski warmups with our kiddo and spontaneous “should we sit outside for a bit?” evenings on the (thankfully covered) patio, this product has proved it’s value.  Read More
