Personalized Treats

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Need to get a thank-you gift?  Don’t settle for the same-old gift card. Planning a corporate event?  Your logo on a banner simply won’t cut it. Putting together goodie bags?  The key is to pleasantly surprise the receiver.

Don’t settle for the ordinary, try something different and unexpected like…personalized cookies.  Steveston Cookie Company can and will design cookies just for you, catered to your very own needs.  They are original, memorable (not to mention DELICIOUS) and make fabulous gifts /decorations for any occasion or event.  Your cookies get baked when you place in an order, giving you the freshest batches.  They are individually wrapped and tied with a bow – how cute!

I’m CRAVE-ing a CRAVE cookie looking just like our upcoming Guide!

Live Free!

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

There aren’t very many people who would say no to a healthy, active lifestyle.  Who wouldn’t want to go to a yoga class, have a gym membership, take care of themselves or travel?  But life often gives us constraints…like money.  What if I were to tell you that now you CAN indeed do all of that without having to worry so much about your bank account.  It would be hard to believe but dear CRAVE lovers, it is true – all thanks to Living Free Canada.

Going Green since 1981!

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

We all know that the green, eco-friendly trend is growing and becoming the next cool thing – thank goodnes, it is so much needed!  But there is a fabulous woman who has been providing sustainable alternatives from way before this trend began: Irma McInnis of Dream Designs!

Her company was established back in 1981 with Irma’s passion for natural lifestyles.  Her line not only includes clothing but also yoga mats, cushions and bedding, of course all made with sustainable fibres.  Oh, but it doesn’t just end there.  Irma also has Chakra Lounge which holds a studio space and a treatment room to encourage natural healing – how cool is that?

CRAVE is super excited to have Dream Designs in our book!  Make sure to check it out and do your part in saving the planet!

A new-do for the fall?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Getting tired of the same-oldness?  A new hair-do can make a huge difference!  If you are used to your long hair, why not be bold and try short?  Or go a shade darker for the fall.  Whatever change you are thinking of, the stylists at Burke & Hair can cater to your needs.

Located in the heart of Gastown, Burke & Hair has been selected as one of Canada’s Top Salons by FASHION Magazine – so you know you are going to walk out with a fab new do at the end of your appointment!  Another bonus: you can get a gorgeous view of the Northshore mountains while getting pampered.

We are excited to have Burke & Hair in the upcoming CRAVE Guide!!
