Before the hustle and bustle of the holidays take hold, make caring for yourself a top priority. Check out our practical advice on how to feel and look pampered and relaxed, even in the midst of seasonal madness.

How to Have a Designer Holiday

Every year as the December holidays approach, desperate and often frantic shoppers fly in and out of stores, searching for those perfect gifts for everyone on their list.

Holiday Beauty

Striking a sophisticated balance between plain Jane and sugar plum hussy can be difficult during the holiday season.

How to Regift

We know you’ve done it before, at least once, because most of us have done it too—and you’ll likely do it again. You’ve kept it secret because of the guilt you’re feeling and because you know you can get away with it and no one will be the wiser.

Make Cool Holiday Cocktails

A great cocktail is much more than just a drink. It sets the mood, adds a hint of fun and brings people together. The following five cocktails will suit any occasion this holiday season.

Stick to New Year's Resolutions

Why do we do it? Why do we work out with our new gym membership for two weeks and then stop going? Why do we put down those cigarettes on Monday, only to find ourselves smoking by Saturday?

Dress from Day to Night During the Festive Season

‘Tis the season to cram as many cocktail parties as you can into one month. You’ve got your office party, family parties, friend parties, acquaintance parties and, hell, if you’re feeling really festive, you might pop into a few ‘dos thrown by strangers because, really, who can turn down eggnog?

How To Quit Your Job The Right Way

Leaving a job doesn’t always happen when you’re disgruntled or upset. You might be in a job you love and working for people you admire. Whatever the reason for your departure, a smart employee has her future always on her mind.

How to Get a Raise

Ask for more money and get it. Here’s what to do to ensure you get what you deserve.

How to Pretend You’re Famous

There are several perks to being famous: you get to date hotties, you get loads of free stuff even though you’re already stinking rich, and people generally care about the things that you do, even if they’re not interesting at all.

How to Be a Bad Dinner Guest

If you’re famous for showing up tardy and empty-handed to dinner parties, you’re well on your way to becoming a bad guest. Here are some foolproof ways to maintain mediocrity when it comes to attending formal dinners thrown by your family and friends, with additional notes from The Jane Austen Handbook by Margaret C. Sullivan, Manners by Kate Spade, and HGTV.ca.

Make The Most Of Your Lunch Hour

Do you have a bad habit of chaining yourself to your desk first thing in the morning, only getting up to pee and pour more coffee until quitting time rolls around? Girl, there's a reason they give you an hour off in the middle of the day and it's not just so you can spend an extra 60 minutes on that spreadsheet.

Get The Salary You Deserve

Is there anything scarier than being asked point blank in an interview, "What sort of salary are you looking for?" If you aim too low, you're under-selling yourself and if you aim too high, you could price yourself right out of the job. Here are some ideas on how to figure out what you need, what you’re worth, and what’s more important than money.

Fast Money

It’s all about the Benjamins sometimes. Alright, alright, we don’t have Benjamins here in Canada, but “It’s all about the Sir Robert Borden’s” (whose portrait graces our $100 bills) just doesn’t have the same ring to it. And whether you’re saving for the latest it bag, a European vacation, or heck, you just need some dough to pay the bills, here are some easy ways to make some spare dough.

Sleep On It

Dozing off at the movies? Having trouble concentrating? Feeling cranky and stressed out because you couldn’t sleep the night before? Hold onto that pillow, sister, because after these tips, you’ll be getting a good night’s sleep in no time.

Respect Your Breasts

I am a big advocate of professional bra fitting. According to Oprah, 85 per cent of women are wearing the wrong size. But, I will admit, dear readers, that I measured myself and decided I was a 34B. As a style expert, I know a thing or two about how garments, both of the outer and under varieties, should fit.

Plan Your Wedding: The Guest List

If there’s one point in the planning process that drives couples to thoughts of eloping, it’s the guest list. What starts as an intimate gathering of your close friends and family turns into a sprawling kegger, with guests seated at picnic tables

Sex Through Your Ages

A lot of people liken sex to riding a bike; that being, you never forget how. But sometimes it’s not an issue of forgetting, it’s that our bodies, needs, wants, and preferences change over the years.

Plan a Wedding: Book a Photographer

So you’ve got your venue all picked out, and you’ve decided to book a photographer for your wedding. Wise choice. Wedding photographers serve several important functions at a wedding, including:

Sex Talk

There is no universal way to talk to somebody about sex; there is the ideal and there is the reality. Ideally, you should feel empowered and confident enough to communicate with your partner about sex, including discussions about exclusivity, technique, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and birth control.

Talk Dirty

Okay, so you’re dying to add some sass and raunch to your nightly romps, but how will your partner feel if you suddenly appear in leather and sound like a porn star?

Feel More Comfortable Masturbating

Have you ever heard this little saying? If you’re like me, you probably chuckled a little bit. But I feel obligated to set the record straight: procrastination is nothing like masturbation. Procrastination is a bad habit. Masturbation is something we should be doing more of.

Guide to Oral Sex

Slice has found the ultimate blowjob buff – a man who’s not only passionate about receiving a great BJ, but is good at giving them, too.

Get the Big O Over and Over Again

Though guys have the ability to orgasm easily, we women have the ability to orgasm multiple times. It may take us longer to get there, but when we come...

Missing the Big O?

Listen up, girlfriends, we’re going after the Big O and we’re taking you along with us. If you’ve never had an orgasm during intercourse you’re not alone.

Find a Great Hairdresser

A great hairdresser is hard to come by and so is a great cut. We all have a bad haircut story where we were reduced to tears, frantically calling our best friend in search of another trusted hair dresser who could find the beauty in the beast.

How To Eat Like A Celeb

Jennifer Aniston follows The Zone, Beyoncé knocked off 20 lbs on The Master Cleanse and Jessica Biel fills up on mini meals with The 3-Hour diet. And let’s face it; they look pretty good. Shocking, since you’ve probably heard that fad diets don’t work. Nutrition guru and personal trainer, Marshall Tully, debunks that myth…well, kind of.

Sexy Comes From Within

Despite the impression that the fashion glossies give, the key to confidence actually has very little to do with a fabulous wardrobe, expensive makeup and a stick-insect body. “Being proud of yourself and the curves that you possess is the key to confidence,” says Carmen Puyo, one of the creators of Burst!, a workshop that empowers women through movement.

Book an All-Inclusive Vacation

There are vacations and then there are all-inclusive vacations. Both are enjoyable, but one often features pricey food, pricey drinks and sketchy hostels, while the other involves free food, free booze and decent accommodations.

How To Get Drunk With…

Getting sloshed is a big part of our society. It’s a rite of passage when you’re a teenager, and to be part of any old boy’s club, you’ve gotta down at least a little bit of scotch. I’m forever being invited out for drinks by friends, coworkers and family. And I wouldn’t want it any other way – it’s a great way to sit down and bond with people.

Drag Queen Beauty Tips

Nestled in an unassuming apartment in the east end of downtown Toronto, Miss Conception’s drag room is home to 30 pairs of heels and countless boxes full of ultra feminine clothes (including a boa made of fake dollar bills).
