It's a twist on a classic French cocktail, featuring cognac, Grand Marnier and sweet vermouth and after a couple of these you literally will be Incompetent.

If this film isn't in your holiday arsenal then you need to reassess your life choices.

The inspiration behind our advent calendar was to be able to give a little gift to someone nearest and dearest each day of December. It will literally feel like Christmas every day. Trust us, this is totally going to be your new holiday tradition.

Hocus Pocus is officially 25 years old this month, can you believe it?! We're commemorating the anniversary the best way we know how: with a drinking game. 

We felt like getting crafty and yarn wall hangings are all the rage. And it’s no wonder, they’re gorgeous and super easy to customize when it comes to the colours, size and how you choose to trim the ends.

Sometimes all you need is a little R&R, you know? We decided to have a slow day together and do an at-home spa day.

This week we decided to host our first-ever wine tasting. I start my Level 3 Sommelier training this summer and Rachel and Vanessa want me to impart my wisdom so they’ll be able to pick out a bottle of wine that isn’t solely chosen based on the design of the label.

This year, we wanted to make our Oscar-watching a little bit more interesting. For us that meant glamming it up with Oscar-worthy popcorn, a signature cocktail (always), red velvet carpet cupcakes, an Oscar nominated songs playlist and a DIY edition of the classic game headbands featuring this year’s nominees.
