Unless you’ve done it before with great success, Girlawhirl does not suggest lingerie as a Valentine’s Day gift. If it doesn’t fit perfectly – and believe me she’ll know as soon as she picks it up out of the box – she’ll be in the midst of a body image crisis all night (a la: how could he have thought that was my size?). If it’s not her style she’ll be thinking “he wants me to wear that!?” and be completely distracted through dinner, so distracted that she might not even enjoy the chocolate soufflé that you so thoughtfully pre-ordered.

The Story
Hamlet is arguably one of the most famous plays in the English language. Likely written in early 1600s, the tragedy is a milestone in Shakespeare’s dramatic development. According to most critics, the playwright achieved artistic maturity in this work through his brilliant depiction of the hero’s struggle with two opposing forces: moral integrity and the need to avenge his father’s murder. Shakespeare’s focus on this conflict was a revolutionary departure from contemporary revenge tragedies, which tended to graphically dramatize violent acts on stage in that it emphasized the hero’s dilemma rather than the depiction of bloody deeds.

According to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), a portable air cleaner, certified for its Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) may significantly reduce the level of airborne pollutants in a home. A recent study conducted by AHAM showed that 28% of air cleaner owners acquired the appliance to improve their own health and health of other adults in the household. According to another AHAM study, 57% of air cleaner owners believe that their air cleaners have had a large impact on the quality of indoor air, and 32% believe that their air cleaner has led to an improvement in their health and/or the health of other household members.

Wine
Depending on the wine you choose, it may have travelled long distances to get to your local liquor store and pesticides may also have been used during production.
Environmentally conscious wine:
To reduce the environmental impact, choose a local wine. Consult the Wines of Canada website for a list of wines available in your province. Buy organic wines; Wines of Canada also lists the organic options available in different provinces. If the selection of local wine is not to your liking, you can always purchase Fair Trade certified wine.
What about wine packaging?
An interesting debate on wine packaging is currently taking place… On one hand, bag-in-box wine seems to be the best choice since the packaging takes less energy to produce and transport which results in a much smaller carbon footprint. On the other hand, end-of-life recycling options for bottled wine seem to be the better of the two. When in doubt, buy local!
