    How to PEP Your Way To Better Relationships

    Posted by D&AOn May 10, 2019

    Entrepreneur, author, counselor, friend and visionary, Nadine Hanchar, recently launched her latest creation. ‘Knowing Me, Knowing You’, answers the relationship questions we have and the connecting link between our filters and personality so we can lead more fulfilling lives. I asked Nadine to share insights into her book. Perhaps her answers will lead you to discover her process toward locating happiness that’s eluded you, until now. Nadine, what are the benefits or advantages of knowing

    A Spring Soiree For Hope

    Posted by D&AOn April 6, 2019

    ‘Living the dream’ is a much used lexicon within societies where many freedoms are not only enjoyed, but for the most part, taken for granted. It’s a joy to witness those of us privileged enough to live lives of freedom and prosperity reach across the table and help others spiral up toward liberty without fear of reprisal. One such group here in Victoria have taken it upon themselves to turn their talk into action and

    Stirring Up Rhythm & Spice

    Posted by D&AOn November 19, 2018

    Cozily tucked away in the heart of downtown Victoria BC, resides a home-spun dream created out of desire and necessity when no other way existed but to begin. Proprietor, Natalie Justin of Stir It Up, a Caribbean eatery featuring a plethora of tasty West Indian island dishes, did exactly that; dug in, put her head down and got to work. She reminisces how she started her business in a town that had very little experience

    Lifting The Lid On Ordinary – The Sherwood Experience

    Posted by D&AOn November 10, 2018

    Victoria has welcomed another eatery to its burgeoning food landscape. At first glance, Sherwood is on par with other chic, city eateries. Its urbane-esque style, encompasses a large proportion of nearly floor-to-ceiling windows that allow the busy streets to act as a backdrop for its guests.  Casual, almost ‘not there’ decor compliments the light airiness of the interior. The menu, a charming mix of eclectic fresh food components, are designed to entice and excite various

    The Witches Salon

    Posted by D&AOn November 2, 2018

    The call to gather went out. RSVPs eagerly flooded in from women to participate in this surprising niche party. Finally, the day arrived, and an intimate, self-selected group invaded the soothing backdrop of Glo Restaurant & Lounge. Expansion would be the key on which this night would turn. If anyone mentioned to me months ago I would be hosting a soiree, or what we now choose to call a salonniere or salon for short, and

    Victoria, What Are You Hoping For?

    Posted by D&AOn September 5, 2018

    The title is a loaded question, one that might take time to answer, especially without context. I’ll give you one. For those that don’t know me, I’m that gal constantly extolling the virtues of community and various ways to make things better wherever you live.  I do it because I happen to believe it’s damn important. I believe it so much I spent approximately 4 years writing a weekly column under the guise of ‘The

    On The Subject Of Style

    Posted by D&AOn September 2, 2018

    Ineffable.  I like the word.  I like what it means. I like what it implies. “Too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.”  Impossible to describe, to articulate. But there is a connotation about ineffable that suggests something not just so big as to beggar expression but also something that is possibly supra-natural or sacred, ‘the ineffable mysteries of the soul’, for instance.  Something that is unique, mysterious and different in an
