March 11th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts

*Sign up for our newsletter and you’re entered to win one of two Sara Lynn Fan Packs!*
OK, I’ll admit the first thing that attracted me to Sara Lynn’s website was the unabashedly feminine palette of pinks, black and zebra print, and the generous use of swirly, pretty Scriptina. Then there are the gorgeous photos of [...]

Oscar Night Fun

March 8th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Celebrity, Jacquie's Posts

I watched the Oscars with friends last night. Our 13 or 14th annual Oscar party get together. We do the ballot filling out thing, the appetizers, party beverages and our own version of a swag bag. We all contribute towards a prize of a bunch of movie gift certificates, a prize I was sure I [...]

History repeating itself or just me babbling?

March 4th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

A couple of friends have asked me about the meaning behind the header for the month of March – Finding Lyrical Beauty in…HISTORY. First off, I love the word ‘history’. To me it’s sexy, smart and mysterious. OK, put it this way, when you hear two people described as having history, aren’t you intrigued? Were [...]

History of the Inukshuk & Master Ziggy

March 1st, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts

You’d think nothing could surprise me in this beautiful city I’ve loved and cherished for years. I thought I’d seen everything, sort of, but a walk along the seawall in False Creek over the weekend really took my breath away. I can’t stop thinking about it. It was twilight, verging on no light at all, [...]

Thank you, NBC! Right back atcha!

My mother sent this video to me and I’m so glad I got to see it. Maybe it was the sappy music, or the sweeping mountain vistas, or the fact that I’m probably hormonal, but I found myself getting soggy-faced emotional at the weirdest points. Like when Brokaw reads the line on the Peace Arch [...]

Are Bronze Winners Happier than Silver?

February 22nd, 2010 · 5 Comments · Health and fitness, Jacquie's Posts

I’ve noticed a lot of sour faces on the Olympic podiums in the first week of competition and most, well, pretty much all of them are on the athletes standing on the second place tier. It was particularly noticeable in men’s moguls when Alex Bilodeau from Canada won and Dale Begg-Smith, the former Olympic champ [...]

Sunday Spirit Series ~ Olympic Dreams for Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

February 21st, 2010 · 3 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday

Tonight I’m going to have to make the difficult choice between watching the Olympic match up of Canada vs USA hockey game live or tuning in to the Original Dance portion of the Ice Dance competition! Not quite Solomon’s dilemma, but you get the idea. After the compulsories, Canada’s Virtue and Moir are in the [...]

Have You Got Your Red Mittens?

February 18th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

I was out and about yesterday morning when I decided to pop into the mall at Metrotown just to kill some time between appointments. While at The BAY department store I heard a bit of commotion and soon found myself being drawn towards the Official Olympic Wear section near cosmetics. I walked into a frenzy [...]

Precariously Perched Castles in the Sky

February 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

Yesterday was Valentine’s day. That might explain why Masterpiece Classics re-ran the strange, un-Austeny, Jane Austen bodice ripper Northanger Abbey. This one has to be my least favourite of adaptations, but the shots of the Abbey were marvelously creepy and so perfect for a Gothic romance. I absolutely adore castles and other mysterious man-made [...]

Honor System at Safeway?

February 11th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

I got up especially early this morning to chat with y’all but couldn’t log into Tara Cronica for some unknown reason, so I wandered around facebook a bit, then Newser.com, then checked out the Olympic torch relay route for today. Just wandered, aimlessly. I think I’m addicted to certain sites. I’ve heard that the average [...]

Happy Anniversary Tara Cronica!

February 8th, 2010 · 11 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

I just realized, whilst steaming milk for my latte, (I’m the one that includes excruciating amounts of unnecessary detail in her posts) that we must be at the one year mark for Tara Cronica. In fact, our first post was on January 30th of 2009 and Bonnie was the lucky author of that one. I [...]

I am so NOT The Picture of Dorian Grey! Am I?

February 4th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

I make it a point to talk about whatever’s going on in my life in my posts, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable it might make me feel. Juicy kid gossip is out though, and sometimes that can be a bit frustrating. I need the distraction about now. I’m feeling quite uneasy about something and [...]

Michael Jackson’s Earth Song Grammy Tribute

February 1st, 2010 · 6 Comments · Inspiring, Jacquie's Posts

I watched the Grammy’s last night with a note pad in one hand and a half cup of optimism in the other. My plan was to scratch out a few comments on the fashions and the fumbles (like Beyonce singing Alanis Morrissette’s ‘You Outta Know’. Big miss! She’s not angry enough. You have to have [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha

January 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday

I love finding new versions of the Tara mantra to add to my collection. This one is particularly pretty and very easy to listen to while surfing, reading or meditating. I hope you like it.
For a little bit more info about the lyrically beautiful Tara mantra and what it means check out our ‘ Goddess [...]

Dream Weaver

January 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad

It’s almost 2 o’clock in the morning and here I am at my desk… staring at a blank screen…wishing a few inspiring paragraphs would magically appear. I spent my evening doing a whole lot of this and that and in the end got very little accomplished, so I have no one to blame but myself, [...]
