10 + 2 Hilarious Times WeRateDogs Rated Something that “Wasn’t” a Dog
WeRateDogs (@dog_rates) is a humour-based twitter account that rates adorable dogs on a scale of 1 to 10 (though most dogs end up exceeding the scale and coming it at 12 or 13). With likely hundreds of thousands of photo submissions coming over the years, WeRateDogs has enjoyed teasing followers by occasionally complaining about pictures of “not” dogs being sent in. Here are 10 of the more entertaining examples plus two actual “dogs”. 1. “Traffic Cone” Dog We only rate dogs. Please don’t send in traffic cones. They’re there for a reason. Just drive around it. Thank you… 13/10 pic.twitter.com/fTomgF6u9A — WeRateDogs® (@dog_rates) February 26, 2020 2. “Golden Carpet Worm”…

For many of us, the battle between Apple and Android smartphones has been an ongoing argument. For some, there has never been a question between the two.

Tai Chi: Finding Balance through Movement
Breathe in, breathe out. Concentrate on your moves. Detach yourself from the stress of everyday life. There is only you, your balance, and your next movement in the routine. The rest of the world fades away. Tai Chi (or, as some say, Taiji) and Qigong were born in Ancient China, but are by no means limited to that geographical boundary. Today, Tai Chi is one of the most popular martial arts, one with a deep philosophical approach towards energy, life force, and inner peace. The circulation of Chi (or life force) in the body can help mind and body’s health. It can also create balance in thoughts and movements. Some…

“Maybe, if I don’t eat for one month straight, I could totally rock that bodycon dress at the party”. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Starving our way to a perfect fit every now and then, believing that not eating for long hours is the fastest way to lose that extra inch. Well, sure–it might be. But it is also the fastest way to disturb your body’s metabolism–which could lead to something worse. Nourishment is a complex mechanism, which involves much more than just eating food. It is a combination of your psychological state, situational conditions, and biochemical signals being sent from your brain to your body and vice versa.…

Canada Reads 2020 short list titles as 62nd Grammy Awards fashion
The best season of the year has arrived: awards season. With the announcement of the Canada Reads 2020 short list on January 22, I thought it would be fun to match each book cover with its celebrity counterpart following the red carpet at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards. The only criteria I had was that the outfit had to compliment the book cover and, without fail, these celebrities delivered.
