The numerous challenges and changes that seemed overbearing weren’t without reason. When you log on to BHD you are witnessing my growth, which is essentially how BHD came to be.

Food for Thought: Oxfam.
For breakfast I had a grande americano misto (non-fat milk, extra foamy, two shots of sugar-free vanilla), an apple with cinnamon, two whole-wheat crackers and five skittles. Yes, I eat randomly but I eat what I want, when I want, without worry. I freak if by 10:30 a.m. I haven’t had my caffeine fix (the...
Sleigh Bells at the Phoenix
In an already tightly packed Phoenix, Toronto’s newest synth-pop outfit, Trust, opened the night with a high energy, electronic number complete with atmospheric sounds and light effects. With the release of their debut album, TRST, last month, the trio is quickly gaining recognition for their MGMT-esque, ‘80s, plus new age electronic sound. Trust...
Family Cook Off
This may be one of those times you should keep the kids in the kitchen; you never know, it may earn you some extra points. It seemed to work well for the adorable Fong family daughters, who stole the show with their No Fuss Pudding. The show to steal in this case is Food Network...

Say Word?! Madonne is 52! Which 52 year old you know can still get down like Madonna? She manages to keep up a great physique and still be relevant after all these years. Her latest video “Girl Gone Wild” turns up the heat. I love to watch her dancing! The song is not bad either,...

Don’t judge me, I LOVE this mixtape. Something about the vibe is perfect for a sunny day. Makes me feel like I should be listening to this by a beach somewhere with a drink in hand. Listen to it and let me know what you think. Listen to it at DatPiff or download it...
