I am very pleased to announce that my page on IMDB is up! Some pictures have been added, as well as the current credits… I’ll update the page further as I can.

Check it out on IMDB!

I am extremely passionate about getting children and teenagers involved in making smart, healthy meal choices and encouraging them to get physically active. Even some of the dancers I teach, who are taking dance classes for hours in a row, replace a bottle of water with a can of sugary soda.

Rebecca — a seven-year-old competitive dancer and pre-competitive gymnast — has noticed this growing issue, and is tackling it with her website ‘Healthy Kids, Healthy Lives‘. The site includes numerous healthy snack and meal recipes. healthy lifestyle tips, and links to other useful websites, all written in the honest, concise voice of a kid. Bravo, Rebecca!

Hype Machine

Lately, I’ve been spending a great deal of time on Hype Machine. The site is a compilation of various music blogs’, making it easy to find a really diverse mix of songs from a wide range of genres. I absolutely love this site and have found some great music by artists that I otherwise wouldn’t have come across.

The WotWots

12 November '11 by Hilary, under Events, Personal, Upcoming Shows.

On Sunday, November 20th, I will be hosting The WotWots stage show, as part of the kids’ events celebrating The Santa Claus Parade.

The shows will take place at Berczy Park (just west of the intersection of Church Street and Wellington Street East). Since the park is right at the Santa Claus Parade and show times are 11:00 am and 12:30 pm, you’ll be able to take in a show before watching the parade!

Shows are free to the public, so wear your warm winter gear and come on out!

Utopia

23 October '11 by Hilary, under Events, Personal.

This weekend, I was on set for the Sheridan College final year short film ‘Utopia’. Produced by Ryan Ongaro and directed by Brent Godfrey, the film follows a group of misguided hippies as they try to start a commune in rural Ontario.

We shot near Orangeville, in the middle of a gorgeous, 150-acre wooded property (see the photo below for proof of how beautiful the area really was!). Check back for more photos and video as they become available.
