As for the products, not only are they totally organic, they’re also exquisite! To learn more about Pamaya check out their website.

Hi Everyone!

It was a total pleasure to have Dean Brody on the show tonight! Not only is he the most played Canadian artist on Canadian radio, he’s also a great guy! He just released his latest album “Dirt” and the first track (Canadian Girls) is already a record-breaker!

If you want to meet the Nova Scotia based star you’ve got a chance this Friday at the Halifax Costco where he’ll be doing a meet and greet starting at 5:30pm. And, if you want to catch him in concert, he’s scheduled to play the Cavendish Beach Music Festival in PEI and the South Shore Exhibition in Nova Scotia this July. For more details check out his website.

Here’s a look at his latest album:


And here’s a listen to his number 1 hit!

Hi All!

I had the amazing pleasure of sitting in on part of Cirque du Soleil’s “Dralion” dress rehearsal today. And while I loved every second of the show, it became all too clear I’ll never be a member of the Cirque team ;) . Not only do these performers have a God-given talent, they’ve also worked hours on end perfecting their skills! Having seen Cirque du Soleil in the past, I’m always left with my jaw on the ground… it really is a magical show.

I also want to send a big thanks out to Marie-Eve Bisson… she performs aerial hoop as part of Dralion and she was so kind to share some of her time with me earlier today (on opening night in Halifax)!

If you’re hoping to catch the show live, Cirque du Soleil has a number of shows scheduled for Halifax and Saint John over the next couple of weeks…

For show details and tickets visit their website.




And now, here’s a look at what’s trending online today…

Wet Your Whistle
