Celebrate Bloor Red Carpet Recap

Is there anything better than a lazy Sunday stroll on a beautiful summer day?

Yes: when that stroll is along a celeb-packed red carpet through the city’s most glamourous neighbourhood, with rockin’ tunes, hot cars and delish eats!

Yesterday the NKPR team, plus thousands of other Torontonians, spent the day celebrating the much-awaited completion of the Bloor Street revitalization project.

Attendees strutted up and down a one kilometre-long red carpet stretch of Bloor, from Avenue Road to Church Street, to take advantage of shopping deals, sample snacks from some of the neighbourhood’s most buzzed-about restaurants and covet the rides of the Yorkville Exotic Car Show. (We lost count of the Ferraris and Lamborghinis!)

The best part? A portion of proceeds from participating retailers, donations from the public and a generous $25,000 donation from The Holt Renfrew Centre helped support Artists for Peace and Justice, a non-profit organization created by Academy Award-winner Paul Haggis to support communities in Haiti through programs in education, health and dignity.

Now that’s something to celebrate!

If you missed out, we captured some of the star-studded fun. Check out the pics below!

Learning to Hear All the Ways People Say "I Love You"

One of my favourite self-help-style books and one that I still think about every day is the The 5 Languages of Love. The book made me reflect on how I express love to those in my life, but also on all the ways people tell me that they love me too. After all, isn't it sad to think that people are telling us they love us in ways we're too "deaf" to hear?!

Being Alone Doesn't Mean Being Lonely

Loneliness is something we all experience at certain times. It's not simply a function of being single or alone. You can feel lonely in a crowd, at a party, in the office, even in bed with somebody. Here are good things to remind yourself if, and when, you feel lonely.

In a Relationship, It's Not If You Fight, But How You Fight

Anger rarely ever brings out the best in us. When we feel our blood boiling, we often regress to a state that's childlike, emotional and even tantrum-y. What's more, conflicts are further complicated by the fact we don't all handle conflict the same way. I've come up with four conflict styles as I see them.
