For those who don’t like hipsters, here is another reason they’ll annoy you: They are increasing the prices of beer. Solution: Brew your own.

Do you eat your food too fast? I do! Being Persian, we are food lovers but we also eat our meals fast (very fast), as we love to go back for seconds. Does this sound familiar? Certain cultures are very good at eating slow. I always feel embarrassed eating dinner with my Chinese or Japanese friends because I’ve inhaled my plate while they are just about start. While your friends might find it rude to tell you to slow down but what about a fork?

Who is excited for the summer? ME! The weather is getting warmer, making it easier to enjoy our favorite outdoor activities such as tennis, golfing, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, and so forth.

My inspiration to cook happens when I watch a cooking show or browse for recipes on Pinterest. As for the former, I get very excited about a new recipe being demonstrated by a celebrity chef however I just drool over the meals they are preparing (while sitting on my couch) and forget how to recreate the dish. It’s not the same when I make reference to their exact recipe because I want the chef to walk me through the steps of preparing the masterful meal.  Don’t you? There is a reason why I’m fascinated with Panna, a video-based cooking app. It combines the elements of a cookbook, magazine and TV show onto an app.  Panna lets you virtually apprentice with well-known chefs while you have the flexibility to pause and restart at your pace.

Most of us watched Georges St-Pierre (GSP) reign the title of eight-time and current UFC welterweight champion of the world. Wouldn't it be cool to train with Georges St-Pierre?  Become the mix martial artist fighter and take on GSP at the next fight? Ok, maybe I stretched the last point a bit too far. Jokes aside, GSP is taking over the mobile world with the launch of the app, Touchfit. He partnered with Zolmo, a software publisher, and created a new fitness app. It shows you how hard St-Pierre trains and a closer look at his nutrition regiment. It's a little less intimidating than it sounds.

Spring is a great time to brighten up a favourite space in your home. After a long winter, change is good! If a full room makeover isn't in the budget this year, don't despair. Any space can be instantly updated with just one of these tried and true decorating ideas.

Decorating Idea #1: New Lamps.

Let there be light! Adding new lamps are one of the best decorating ideas to give your room an instant update.  An outdated lamp can often give away the age of a room's decor. (Unless it's a fabulously vintage one, of course).  Swapping out an old lamp for a more stylish one, like a popular gourd lamp, or for a trendier colour (like a metallic) will instantly make your room feel fresher and more modern. Furthermore, adding a lamp to a corner that wasn't previously lit will make your room feel larger, and will help create a lovely ambience.

Juicing is getting a lot of attention in the area of health while you’ve probably heard people talk about starting a cleanse or seen some juicy recipes.

St. Patrick’s day is just around the corner. Are you going to dye your hair green? Please don’t, I was just joking. However, it’s time to get your best green-inspired shirt and rock the party on Sunday March 17^th. Instead of dying your hair green, get some food coloring and bake some shamrock shaped cupcakes or green-velvet waffles. Enjoy those green treats with a pint of Irish beer, topped off with Guinness Ice Cream. Green is a yummy color.
