i want: Valentine Moroccan Rose Body Treatment

Published by

I normally don’t talk about Valentine’s Day on the site, but when I received a pitch about the Valentine Moroccan Rose Body Treatment from the 889 Yonge Yoga & Holistic Lifestyle Spa
I immediately thought “I want that”. So here it is. It’s on for the month of February so it just doesn’t have to be a Valentines thing.

The Moroccan Rose Body Treatment: Indulge your body and spirit in this deeply sensuous and soothing REN chemical-free skincare body treatment. A relaxing ginger two sugar body scrub warms your skin and boosts microcirculation to improve your tone, reduce ‘orange peel’ (we prefer this to cellulite!) and unveil your natural glow. The Moroccan Rose Otto oil is steam distilled from petals harvested in Morocco at dawn and is deeply moisturizing with exquisite aromatherapeutic properties. A gentle massage with rich Damask Rose Biosaccharide body cream contains sugar extract that releases endorphins and brings a sense of comfort to your body. Pamper yourself and feel loved! 75 min/ $135

Edit: I’ve restored this post to it’s intended look. I must have been up way too late because I know I wrote copy around this post.

PodCamp Toronto 2009

I guess after almost 4 years of blogging people would consider me an expert in my field. I’m finally beginning to believe a bit of that hype now that I’m going to be on a panel at PodCamp 2009.

Podcamp Toronto is a FREE “unconference” for all those interested in all things podcasting, blogging and new media. Amateurs, pros, newbies and veterans are all welcome!

Ryerson University

Toronto

I’m part of the session called Building Relationships with Word of Mouth and PR Practitioners While Maintaining Credibility with Your Audience at 10:30am on February 21, 2009.

Building Relationships with Word of Mouth and PR Practitioners While Maintaining Credibility with Your Audience – As bloggers and podcasters, are we really the new influencers and subject matter experts? What does it all mean for businesses and consumers? Join Anita Clarke, David Jones, Eden Spodek and Matthew Stradiotto for this interactive panel as they share their experiences with the good, bad and the ugly of Blogger/Podcaster relations from both sides of the equation. Moderated by Keith McArthur.

UPDATE: I’ve tweaked things again.

So I’ve changed up the site theme once again.

I’m hoping to showcase the photos much better with this site and have improved lightboxish display of the images. The theme I was using before was very wonky in this respects.

I’ve scaled down the sidebars to one and they have less information than before. You will still have access to the Event Calender, search features, subscription options and the small Toronto blogroll

The top of the page now display the page listings and select categories. After talking to friends, offering all category options added too much clutter. I’ve chosen the categories that I think are most relevant and useful for my readers. To see the complete list of categories please use the Archives page. The Archives page is listed by Date and by Category.

I’ve also switched over to Google Search for my blog which I hope will benefit people better when searching the blog. The built in WordPress search functionality wouldn’t search all attributes and sometimes results were left off the list. I’ve also changed the search results to display the full post instead of an excerpt which didn’t allow images to display.

For those of you that subscribe via email, I’m slowly going to move away from Feedblitz to Feedburner Email. I can’t switch all the subscribers over myself, so if you are currently receiving I want – I got by email. Please sign up for the new service and unsubscribe your Feedblitz based subscription. I will be maintaining both for now, but I will be dumping Feedblitz in the near future. So Subscribe to I want – I got via Feedburner Email so you don’t miss any updates.

There will be some more tweaking happening over the next few days but this is pretty much it I believe.

Look out for an I want – I got banner of some sort. The top of the page needs a nice welcoming fashion image.

Please let me know what you think of the new theme in the comments or by rating this post.

Thanks readers.

Interior Design Show 2009 exhibit preview

Published by

I will be attending the Interior Design Show for I want – I got. I’ll have my trusty photographer, Paul Baik with me. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s rare that I have a professional photographer at my disposal. I’m really looking forward to bringing you the scoop.

Here are some of the exhibits I’m looking forward to this week.

1. Concept Spaces

Five of Canada’s most innovative and inspiring design firms have been assembled, each of whom represent very different design disciplines – production and retail design; industrial design, luxury architecture, luxury residential interior design, and landscape architecture.

Representing a combination of emerging and under the radar designers coupled with established design celebrities, the five selected firms share some things in common – innovation, inspiration and talent…and for you this February, they will each design and create a living space that reflects their own personal notion of good design, free of client demands or budget restrictions…we hope that you enjoy the trip.
