Hello Drop Dead Diva fans, today I am publishing my first of many DDD Vlogs! I (Tina Taus, also known as Rants & Raves blogger Beach Babe) am a big fan of Drop Dead Diva. When Season 2 aired on Showcase last year, I blogged weekly then because there's just something about this show that makes me want to talk about it after I watch it! Now, with the premiere of Season 3 of Drop Dead Diva on Slice, I'm going from blogging to vlogging on a weekly basis.

Wedding Trends from The Wedding Co. 2011 Wedding Show!

The Wedding Co. 10th Anniversary Wedding Show was held this past weekend - here are some trends/style ideas I took away from this year's wedding show.

A Somewhat Royal Engagement for a Royal Fan

Not long after Prince William and Kate Middleton (or Miss Catherine Middleton as I should officially state) got engaged, I wrote a blog about how this royal wedding has sparked sapphire loving around the world. I would never have guessed, however, that on December 10, 2010 my boyfriend would pop the question. And, he did it in style of course, with an antique sapphire and diamond ring.

Holiday Guide Giveaway: Gifts for You

When shopping around the holidays, especially in this last week leading up to Christmas, I can’t help but notice all the sale signs in the store windows and even advertised online. It’s almost impossible to resist the temptation to buy myself a little something, and why should I have to resist? I say, there is nothing wrong with getting yourself a little something this holiday.

Sex and the City 2 Review

(SPOILER ALERT - Don't read this if you don’t want to know what happens in Sex and the City 2 (SATC 2)!) To sum up my thoughts of SATC 2 in one word it’d be: gratuitous.

Secret Light Tights Giveaway!!

From shows like Gossip Girl, to fashion magazines, colourful and bright (some florescent) tights are the look that can be seen on legs everywhere these days. Last year, Secret came out with a colourful collection of tights called Light Tights – which are a little lighter than the traditional thick opaque tights but still thick enough that they're not sheer or won't run easily.

Slice on the Street: What's Hiding In Your Closet?

For the past few years, ever since I lived in a condo, I tend to do a spring cleaning of my apartment. If I don't do a clean through of my storage, I at least do an overhaul of my wardrobe. I actually find I'll start to get antsy around the first week of April as I anticipate that time of year when you know it's warm enough to finally put your winter clothes in storage and bring out your spring/summer clothes.

Slice on the Street: Bridezillas! Do You Let Them Run Wild?

Some families develop tension over the wedding, whereas sometimes a bride will regret who they chose for a bridesmaid. There are many scenarios where things don't go as planned leading up to the big day. That's when a bride can turn from seemingly normal into a "bridezilla."

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Joe Fresh and Attitude

Combat-studded and high-heeled ankle boots, fur coats, leather and plaid, are all going to be gracing Joe Fresh store shelves for this Fall/Winter. Designer Joe Mimran is also featuring shorts for the chillier months ahead, perhaps predicting mild temperatures?

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Ryerson University's School of Fashion

Toronto's LG Fashion Week 2010: Preloved Fall/Winter Collection

Preloved showcased its Fall/Winter 2010 collection yesterday evening and the focus was all about the legs! Founder Julia Grieve and Creative Director Peter Friesen somehow always manage to combine a variety of reclaimed vintage fabrics to create a truly individual one-of-a kind look. As a fan of Preloved, I was expecting to see much of its signature look, which is to incorporate plaids and patterns with knitted and wool fabrics. I was not expecting to be pleasantly surprised by the constant theme of knee- and thigh-high stockings.

Slice on the Street - Ask a Guy: Dating Dealbreaker

We asked the ladies, now it's time to ask the fellas, what's your dating dealbreaker?

Slice on the Street: Spring Fashion Trends You Won't Be Wearing

What's one fashion trend this spring you won't be wearing?

Slice on the Street: St. Paddy's Day Edition

What's your most memorable St. Patrick's Day story. March 17th - St. Patrick's Day. A day when the green beer starts flowing, Irish tunes a playing and people profess their allegiance to Ireland with hats and pins that say "Erin Go Bragh" or "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!" Even Chicago pays tribute to this celebratory day with their annual tradition of dyeing the Chicago River green. Whether you're Irish or not, St. Patrick's Day has to be one of the most celebrated days of the year. It brings out the good cheer in people, and in others sometimes the worst. Too much fun can lead to some memorable stories, for good or bad.

Canadian Music Week Exclusive with Bedouin Soundclash & More!

Slice on the Street: Vacation vs Staycation

With this popular month (March) for travelling upon us, I want to know which do you prefer and why, vacation or staycation?

Slice on the Street - Ask a Guy: Worst/Best Pick-Up Lines

I've heard many lines, some completely inappropriate and offensive as well. I wanted to know though from a guy if they actually use pick-up lines, or what are the best/worst ones they've heard and if they think they actually work! So I asked some random fellas I met on the street my burning questions - see the responses in the video below.

Slice on the Street: Would An All Cash Budget Work For You?

I wanted to know how many of us out there are willing to forgo all plastic and try a money jar system. Would an all-cash budget work for you? That is the question I proposed this week.

Slice on the Street: Should There Be a Real Housewives of Toronto?

They're the women you love to love and love to hate… the Real Housewives of OC, Atlanta, New Jersey and New York have taken real homes by storm. And as we've seen with successful reality TV shows in the United States, sometimes a Canadian version comes out and achieves similar success here in our homeland. So the thought crossed my mind one day, "why doesn't Canada have its own 'Real Housewives' show?"

Slice on the Street - Valentine's Day: Love it or Overrated?

With Valentine's Day less than a week away, you're either cringing at the thought and had enough red, pink and white already --- or you're getting excited about the weekend ahead and the chocolates and flowers that potentially await you.

Slice on the Street - Ask a Guy: Break Up Behaviour/Etiquette

Last week we talked about dating dealbreakers, things/habits or attitudes about someone you're dating you just won't tolerate. For some of us, these dealbreakers result in breaking up. And in our high-tech instant-messaging world, what's an acceptable form of communication for ending it?

Makeup: Get A Face For the Red Carpet Without the Star Price!

It's awards season in Hollywood, and that means a lot of glitz and glam on the red carpet! The best part of awards season is seeing what trends are in fashion with dresses, hair and makeup. One person who I personally think looked absolutely classic and stunning on the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) red carpet this year was Drew Barrymore.

Slice on the Street: What's Your Dating Dealbreaker?

Nose picking, bad breath, rudeness, arrogance, nail biting, spitting, etc. – these are just some traits or habits I've heard people are not willing to tolerate or put up with in a relationship. We call them "dating dealbreakers" -- something that is just a "no no" you won't put up with, something that would cause you not to date that person.

Slice on the Street: Pets - Love them or Hate them?

Season 6 of At the End of My Leash has started up (watch full episodes here) - and after watching the first episode I started to wonder about how many people take on a pet and regret it? Are there people out there who don't like pets?

Spynga Dare to Do 30 Program with Dr. Macklin from X-Weighted: Families

Slice on the Street: Cosmetic Surgery or Exercise?

Nose job, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, chin implants, fat injections… the list continues -- there are endless possibilities when it comes to cosmetic surgery and one's body.

Slice on the Street - Holiday Edition: New Year Resolutions

January 1, 2010 - a new year, a new decade! I am not one to usually make New Year resolutions. I don't know if I personally believe in making a resolution at one specific time during the year. It's never to late to start something new, turn a new leaf in your life or set a goal for yourself.

Slice on the Street - Holiday Edition: Plans for New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve celebrations - overrated? Each year my friends and I try and come up with what we think is a great idea for celebrating New Year's Eve.

Slice on the Street - Holiday Edition: Worst Shopping Experience

The holidays can be joyful, celebratory, peaceful and all things jolly and merry. They can also be stressful, a headache, monetarily and physically draining.

Slice on the Street: Ask a Guy - Chivalry on the First Date

When applying this to a first date, what does that mean? When I think of what it means to be chivalrous on the first date, I think of being courteous, opening doors, taking the other persons interests for the date into consideration, being respectful towards that person, paying for the meal, movie, etc. Some would call this "old-fashioned." Some may say it's not fair expecting one to pay the bill and not the other, that it takes away from the notion that we are all equal. So what is acceptable first-date etiquette today?

Foxy Originals Holiday Party & Giveaway!

There was the glitz, the glam, and of course the jewelry at Foxy Originals 8th Annual Foxy Holiday Shopping Party.

Slice on the Street: Ask a Guy - Where's My Ring?

We grow up reading and watching in movies about the fairytale-like man that falls in love right away and sweeps his bride-to-be off her feet. But it just doesn't work out that way for everyone. Marriage, getting engaged, when to get married, do you want to get married? Do you want the marriage and not the weddding? These can be easy or tough questions for couples to discuss. Some couples get married on a whim and others after a deccade of dating. Neither circumstance guarantees a divorce-free future. And if one person in the relationship wants to get married and the other doesn't... then what?

Slice on the Street at the One of a Kind Show

The holidays are upon us and some of you mayby haven't started your Christmas shopping yet and others may be scrambling to get it all done this week. A great place for finding unique gifts is at the One of a Kind Christmas Show that runs until December 6th... A little shopping aside, I also visited the One of a Kind Christmas Show for a special edition of Slice on the Street to find out from you, what's the most unique gift you've ever received?

Slice on the Street: Eating on Public Transit

Is eating on public transit acceptable or disgusting? That is the question I am asking fellow commuters this week. I wrote a blog of my thoughts on this before which you can read here. But, to reiterate my feelings on this, I for one am not a fan of eating hot meals and smelly, messy foods on public transit. However, others seem to disagree.
