#PRODUCTWATCH: TEST-DRIVING THE 2016 ACURA ILX
It's sleek. It's sexy. It glides smooth like silk. The 2016 Acura ILX certainly is a highlight among the many cars I've test-driven in recent years. It is one of those rare instances where performance meets style meets value and to be honest, I could see myself driving a beauty like this in the long-term.
With its 2.4-litre, 16-valve, Direct Injection DOHC, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine, the ILX operates at 201 hp @ 6800 rpm and torque at 180 lb.-ft. @ 3600 rpm. In terms of fuel ...

#PRODUCTWATCH: THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S7!
Dreams really do come true! I think when many of you think of Bloggers, you envision a Hipster tuckered away into the corner of a Starbucks sipping a grande in a venti cup - or better yet, an independent coffee shop - for hours on end. Unfortunately, that Blogger is not me as I am zipping from home with Billy through the City covering launches, spotting stars, attending screenings, at the racetrack visiting Princess, writing/editing reviews, drafting contests and posting news.
I actually enjoy ...

#PRODUCTWATCH: 2016 HONDA HR-V EX-L NAVI
$20,000 doesn’t buy you a lot in this day and age, but at that price point you could own an economical, best-in-class take on Honda’s widely-popular CR-V, the HR-V. Yes, you read right. This is not a typo, as many of my friends thought when I posted on Social Media I was test-driving it this past weekend.
Style, performance, safety, connectivity and most importantly value are crucial to me in a car and the HR-V hits all those marks. The four-wheel drive EX-L NAVI model I drove was ...

#GIVEAWAY: ENTER TO WIN A TWO-PACK OF MONKEY BUTTER + TICKETS TO THE ONE OF A KIND SHOW!
Peanut Butter is something of a delicacy for many of us Canadians. I know personally for me, many of my lunches in grade school simply were Peanut Butter + Jelly Sandwiches. It was something I would eat over and over and over and never grow tired of. Never in a million years would I believe one day we'd be courted in the market by the bountiful and deluxe varieties offered by MONKEY BUTTER!
The Canadian Peanut Butter Maker, totally suitable for vegetarians, was founded in 2011 out in East ...

#PRODUCTWATCH: TEST DRIVING THE 2016 FORD ESCAPE SE
It is with great pleasure that we get to tell you about our experience test driving the Ford Escape SE this weekend. Gearing up for our Hollywood trip to attend the An Evening with Canada's Stars Gala is something we've been looking forward to, but with that came a lot of advanced errands.
We also have been putting-off our visit to see A PIC BY MRWILL and after catching wind of her arrival at Woodbine to train, we stopped by to meet the sweet filly named in our honour! More on that here.

#PRODUCTWATCH: THE 2016 HONDA PILOT
We've had the joy of driving an array of vehicles from Honda Canada over the past few years, but hands down the best we've tried ever is the 2016 HONDA PILOT TOURING. Styled like an SUV and spacious like a Mini-Van, we are in awe at the automotive excellence we drove for the past week. We normally find it hard enough already to part with our Hondas at the end of the Test Drive, but this time we were particularly emotional having to part ways.
Let's talk about the experience driving the ...

#PRODUCTWATCH: 2015 FORD C-MAX ENERGI
I had the very special opportunity of test driving the 2015 Ford C-MAX Energi. The electric-hybrid not only is amazingly-spacious (literally five can be seated with plenty of room to spare), but also super-environmentally conscious.
I admit I was a bit terrified to try something new. An electric car? Really? What happens if my car runs out of battery? Or what if I can't find a charging station? The fact is, the C-MAX Energi runs also on bronze fuel and my own office even had a charging ...

#FOOD: MR. WILL + BILLY’S PRINGLES TORTILLAS FIESTA!
Summer's certainly over, but there's always time for a Fiesta! What better way to bring out the sun on a cloudy day than with Kellogg's amazing Pringles Tortillas? They're so tasty you don't even need dip! I mean, you can try 'em with dip - and we had 'em with Guacamole and Salsa - but we agree they're so flavourful they should be enjoyed just as they are!
Billy and I threw a Fiesta and among our v. special guests were Kobe, Connor, Hero and Arson! Although our furry friends certainly ...
