I love quick, simple, effective ways to improve relationships. I think everyone does. But I get turned off platitudes- you know the “light a candle- it will fix your romance problems” kind of pat advice. So I keep a running list of great suggestions that actually work. Quick certainly works on my radio show, and…
DetailsI’m rarely one to wade on on religious discussions. (Despite being the child of a Canadian Minister and raised in the church). However, you can’t help but follow some of the controversial science versus religious discussions happening this week. The first, is from Stephen Hawking. Hawking universally considered to be one of the smartest men…
DetailsI’m reading about the new diet fad. Eating pureed foods constantly throughout the day in baby food size portions. Apparently Jennifer Anniston is know to use it to keep her as slim as always. The Cheryl Cole chick from X factor wanted to improve her legs and started it. Think about mushing up squash, parsnips…
DetailsI was sent a copy of Sophie Dahl’s (the granddaughter of the great Roland Dahl of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fame) cookbook and dismissed it as another British quasi-vegetarian (no beef or pork) cook’s favourite recipes. It was short-sighted of me. The truth is that Miss Dahl’s voluptuous delight is a love story about…
DetailsI’m hosting a murder mystery tonight with lots of great food. A little disorganized, a little off the cuff but with some great foods. Here’s the scene.

DetailsWell when was it? Remember when you were first dating? And you had sex ALL OF THE TIME! You would both go at each other like animals in heat—in the office, in an elevator, in a hot tub, in the car, or anywhere the urge hit you. Being sporadic creates an exhilarating moment! A new…
DetailsIf you haven’t signed up for one of the coupon sites yet then you’re missing out on great date ideas. I love Groupon and Living social for their 50% off dinners and outing, beautifying activities and mini adventures. Living Social is going to get bigger now that it’s part of the Steve Case (AOL founder’s)…
DetailsThe more I understand and study relationships, the more I need to understand the science of bio chemistry. The study of hormones has such a huge imact on our health, our happiness, and the quality of our love lives and without an awareness you are going to feel overwhelmed,doughy and prematurly age. I’m not over…
DetailsWe had a dinner party on the weekend where we focused on the “aphrodisiac foods of the Caribbean”. The only exception to the menu was an inclusion of shellfish (which can really put you in the mood because of it’s high zinc content). If you’ve been reading this for awhile, you may know that my…
