My Urban Suburban

My So-called-Life is one of my all-time favourite TV shows.  For those of you who’ve never had the privilege of seeing it, it was a short-lived series that aired from ‘94-’95 that followed the emotional trials and tribulations of several emotional, self-aware teenagers.  Claire Danes played the lead role of 15-year-old, insecure Angela Chase and [...]

It’s no secret that I love to shop.  I do.  I really, really do.  But that doesn’t mean spend a fortune.  Quite the contrary actually.  Believe it or not, I’m an excellent the bargain shopper.  Nothing I love more than finding a great deal!  I keep my eyes out for good sales, often opt for [...]
