“I want to move to London,” I told my boyfriend of two-and-a-half years. “London, England. For at least a year.”
The silence and implied doom on the other end of the phone were deafening to my bored, restless and terrified ears.
“Okay,” he said quietly. “I want you to [...]

Notions of Promotion

Many months ago we at the Lemon Life commissioned a promotional video.  Something short, simple, that featured our brand and left people wanting more.
Fellow  Lemon Lifer Ryan Paterson was recruited for the job and he set out to make The Lemon Life’s first advertisement.
We supplied Ryan with a logo file and an idea.  He came [...]

Finding the Write Words

I don’t mean to be nitpicky. I really don’t.  Call me rigid but there are a few common English mistakes that I find practically intolerable. “It’s “means “it is”. Your cool? Only if  the writer was interrupted before typing…Your cool new bicycle is looking radical. To my horror and dismay, in recent days these errors have reared their fowl noggins [...]

If post-grad life came with a manual, I’m sure it would top best-seller lists all over the world. A step-by-step guide explaining how to successfully transition into adulthood would save a lot of the stress, anxiety, and disappointment that often follows the completion of an undergraduate degree.
Unfortunately, this is [...]

Dream, Meet Fear

Here’s what I’ve realized: I did everything wrong.
I followed the expectations of everyone else and forgot to listen to my own heart. After high school, I went straight to university. I was convinced it was the right thing for me to do. It was what I was meant to [...]
