My good friend Caroline McGillivray is the founder of Beauty Night , an amazing charitable organization that builds self-esteem in women in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver by providing them with free makeovers. Caroline and I have been good friends for a few years but I never had interviewed her to learn more about Beauty Night, so I fired her a few questions recently. Raul – Caroline, I first knew of Beauty Night even before you and I became friends.

Every time I pass by Richmond’s industrial parks (or any industrial park, for that matter), I get a very strong feeling of nostalgia. My first degree is in chemical engineering, and I have always worked with industries, either studying them (as I did with my doctoral dissertation and as I have done ever since I received my PhD) or consulting for them (as I did after my MBA and continue to do to this day, on occasion). The geographical concentration of industrial plants in one specific location is something that captivates my mind.

There are many good food trucks out there but I’ve never been such a loyal fan to any of them except for The Little Frenchie , an authentic French truck offers delicious french sandwiches and crepes for a very affordable price. They come to the Hollywood area every Thursday near the CNN building and has been the highlight of the week for me. It’s run by three cute and friendly girls, and I love the hand painted truck very much

We all know how good Korean fusion Tacos can be, so the idea of Korean fusion burger sounds very promising. As soon as I saw the signage of “Kalbi burger coming soon” I knew I have to check this place out. Kalbi Burger finally opened, it’s located at the edge of Koreatown and Hancock park, a very convenient neighbourhood that has change a lot in recent years

For some reason (and I think it’s the people who live there), I always have a fantastic time when folks from Vancouver Island invite me over, whether it is an event, an speaking engagement, a holiday or a press trip. I visited Sidney and Salt Spring Island last year , covering the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre as well and it was a blast.

I will admit that out of all The Arts Club’s productions this 2010, the one I had been looking forward with the most anticipation had been Glengarry Glenn Ross. Not only do I know their productions are excellent, but I knew two TV renowned actors were participating in it (Eric McCormack of Will and Grace fame and John Pyper-Ferguson of Brothers and Sisters fame).

photo credit: Loozrboy I’ve been to the J Lounge (formerly Jupiter Lounge) many a time during the last decade. Ever since I moved to Vancouver, and particularly since many of my good friends seem to enjoy living in the West End, we have ended up at J Lounge at some point or another (two of my closest friends used to live near Davie and Bute, where J Lounge is located). Terry Costa (Mirateca) alerted me to a number of events he’s hosting at J Lounge, and I’m going to attend a few of the ones listed below: PRIDE WEEK CELEBRATIONS @ J LOUNGE 1216 Bute Street (off Davie) 604

I remember when I would see my brothers head out to their high school and my Mom would spray a little bit of fragrance on them as they would leave the house. My brothers weren’t really keen on wearing colognes, but they really took well with one particular scent: O de la R Pour Lui’s top notes include juniper berries, lavender, galbanum, basil, caraway, sage, anise and bergamot. I wouldn’t use Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui for a summery day, as the top notes are extremely overpowering, in particular the lavender, sage and bergamot.

Usually when a new cafe opens I am quite hesitant to blog about it, fearing that it would close down not long after. Can’t blame me for having that feeling, as many cafes do come and go in a short period.

I had met Michael Schratter (the journalist, blogger and teacher who works with 24 Hours Vancouver) a couple of years back from all the social events we both attended, and recently got to know him better as he spoke at Mental Health Camp Vancouver 2010. Michael is doing a fantastic project fundraising for the Canadian Mental Health Association and speaking out about his experiences with bipolar ( Ride Don’t Hide ).

Good luck to @Michael24Hrs in his @Ride_Dont_Hide trek!
My mother is without a doubt, my best friend, my confidante, the source of all my strength and the one person who can make me feel stronger and more invincible than Superman. I am very much my mother’s son, and this past month that I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks with her and take a real holiday, I realized how much I missed having her around me. Mom, today and always I want you not only to have a happy birthday but also to remember that I love you above everything and that I am proud of you today and every day.

The folks of Carousel Theatre have been involved in social media for a while and one of the things I’ve enjoyed the most is how they share other people’s stuff and engage with the community at large (I often use this as an example of how the theatre companies in Vancouver actually do sometimes a better job of using Twitter and other social networking platforms to build community than businesses). Anyways, Carousel Theatre recently contacted me to tell me about their upcoming production, The Taming of the Shrew (a Shakespeare classic). From July 30 to August 14 we are presenting The Taming of the Shrew.

Chef Walter Manzke (former executive chef at Church + State and Bastide ) has created a special Around the World tasting menu for his guest appearance at last month’s Breadbar Hatchi Chef series . Hatchi means Eight in Japanese, which means there’re 8 dishes on the menu, each price at $8. My friend reserved a table for this highly coveted foodie event, I was lucky enough to tag along at the last minute
