GRACE
LACHANCE TEENAGE SINGING SENSATION
Tell us what it was like the first time you picked up a guitar. Was it a passion you had immediately, or was it something that developed over time? I started singing when I was younger. I was really passionate about that. As I progressed through singing lessons, I felt that I should probably learn an instrument to accompany myself with. I started piano but didn’t really like it that much, so I switched to the guitar. I was about 11 years old and shortly after, I started writing. Have you always known you were a talented singer? Do you remember what you were doing when someone noticed that you had a great voice? I didn’t really know if I was good or not, I just liked to sing so I figured I’d keep doing it. The lessons were the first time I heard someone’s opinion that wasn’t my family’s, so that was pretty cool. The first time I sang to a really large and public audience was at Bluesfest. It was cool to get other people’s opinions.
Stittsville’s very own Grace Lachance has already begun to make a name for herself in the music world, and all before the age of 16. Grace began to sing at a very young age. What started out just for fun at a karaoke bar has now become the start of an incredible career for a rising star in the music industry. More recently, and after winning the “She’s the One” contest at the 2015 Bluesfest, Grace paired up with Universal Music Canada and Bluesfest to put together her new single, “Anymore” and she couldn’t have done a better job.
You were picked as the top emerging artist at RBC Bluesfest in 2015 and also won their ‘She’s the One’ contest last year. This has led to you releasing your new single under the label Universal Music Canada. What has this experience been like for you so far? It’s been amazing. Everything I have done this far…I would never have been able to do without it. I’ve gotten to write with a lot of different artists and producers. Who was the first person that you played your first single, ‘Anymore’ for? Well I was actually keeping it very secretive. Even when it was done, I waited until the release date to show anyone. Even my friends didn’t get to see it. My mom and brother heard it but that was pretty much it, and only because I’d play it around the house.
FACES had the opportunity to speak with the young star about her early childhood, the experiences she’s been through in her career thus far and what fans can expect from her in the near future.
What was life like for you growing up in Stittsville? Do you have a favourite memory from your childhood, or place in that area that holds a special meaning to you? Stittsville is pretty cool, it’s a nice little town. I wouldn’t say there’s a ton going on there, though. Not exactly the place to be or anything (laughs). Normally at home, I just hang out with my friends, play music or practice Jujutsu.
Many of us took music lessons as children, but could never dream of writing our own music. Do you remember your first time writing your own song – what was that experience like for you? It was kind of weird actually. I started taking lessons around 11, but I really started singing when I was 9. One day, I decided I should try and write my own song, and it just so happened that I liked doing it, so I just kept running with it. Your first performance took place when you were about 10 years old – what was it like performing in front of an audience for the first time? It was in Florida actually. I was playing karaoke in a little pub – it was nothing crazy, a couple of my family members watching me, it was fun. I remember being excited because it was my first performance.
Do the song lyrics hold special meaning to you? The whole song is pretty much about passive aggressiveness. It’s about a time when someone said something to me very subtly, in a way that I understood the message but couldn’t say anything back. I was frustrated and wrote this song in anger. Luckily, it ended up being a great song. I like the pre-chorus part where it says ‘it’s there’ but that you can’t call the person out on it. Tell us about some of the new music you’re currently working on. How would you describe your sound to people that are unfamiliar with your music? I’d say that all of my songs are different in their own way. Some are kind of substantially different but others not as much. I’d definitely say that each song has its own little unique part that sets them apart. If you could perform on stage with another artist – who would you choose and why? James Bay or Carrie Underwood. I’ve been a fan of Carrie Underwood since I was about 9 years old. I love James Bay’s writing and I love Carrie’s range. You told us last year that you were a big fan of Coldplay and Carrie Underwood – are these still your favourites or do you have other artists that inspire your song writing now?

COVER STORY
Are you still able to have a normal high school life now that you are gaining a lot of attention in the city from your music? Do your classmates still treat you the same, or do you find things different? Like I mentioned before, nothing really changes living in Stittsville. I didn’t expect to go into school and have things different. I expected it to be the exact same thing and it pretty much is. I’ve always done music outside of school and I’ve always kept them separate. Is there a song that you feel you relate to the most? Recently, I’ve been discovering some amazing new singer-songwriters. I always appreciate songs that can have both amazing lyrics and also have a catchy melody. Right now, I love ‘I Found’ by Amber Run.
“
I always appreciate songs that can have both amazing lyrics and also have a catchy melody.
“
Coldplay has amazing songs. Now that James Bay has come out, he’s one of my favourites.
What did it feel like to hear your single ‘Anymore’ played on the radio? Do you remember the first time you heard it on the radio, and can you describe that feeling for us? Recently, my mom and I were driving and it came on. When they said my name, I was like ‘Oh, that’s me’! My mom and I had a laugh. The first time, I was sitting in my basement listening to it on my computer and my brother came down to tell me he was going to his friends. It was right during the first time I heard my song on the radio and I was so focused all I could say was, “Shhhh!”. Do you have a favourite memory from recording the song? My favourite memory from recording was being able to come up with new ideas and to collaborate with the Fourth Floor production team (Rob Wells and Shobah Lee), and of course drinking way too much coffee. It made me really hyper. You’ve already performed on stage in front of 20,000 people, released a new single under a major record label + won several awards to date (including winning ‘Ottawa’s Top Rising Star’ at the 2016 Faces Awards) – what are your goals for the next 3-5 years of your career? My goal is to keep writing and to keep getting my music out there. If it’s possible for me to release more music, that would be amazing. I just want to keep doing the best I can and do everything that I get the chance to do. Mostly, I just want to get my music heard as much as I can. What role do your family and friends play in your success – is there someone you would really want to thank for supporting you and your music? Family is a huge one for me; they’re all super encouraging. My friends and colleagues are very encouraging as well. There’s just no negativity and they’re always excited for me. It’s been awesome getting to share things with my friends. I owe a big thanks to them. Bluesfest, Mark Monahan and Nick Descarie have played significant roles in helping me start my career in music. They’ve given me so many opportunities – all of which I’m very thankful for! @GraceLachance

Raine Maida
OUR LADY PEACE Not many people know what it takes to remain a big name in the ever-changing Canadian music scene for over two decades. Canadian band Our Lady Peace, and lead singer Raine Maida are some of those few people. After forming at the University of Toronto in 1992, the band has gone on to produce 8 studio albums, gone platinum multiple times, and toured the world. Speaking with Raine about touring, creativity and friendship gave us insight into the band’s life over their two decades of music and fame. He speaks honestly about life on tour, about the great unknown of constantly putting new music out, and a moment that he anxiously awaits— the day his kids become fans of his work. As a band, OLP is a great example of what you need to have to be an icon in Canadian music—inspiration and a passion for musicianship. All other things, Raine tells us, are added bonuses. It is clear that the band who holds such a long term relationship with their fans will continue to grow as established icons in the music scene, but will always stay close to their grunge-rock roots.
Do you remember the first time you picked up a guitar? Was it something that just came naturally to you or did you have to practice? It’s funny actually...I have a younger brother, he’s 3 years younger than I am. For some reason, he really wanted a guitar when he was younger, so he eventually got one for his birthday. He did what any kid would do — picked it up for a week and then let it sit in the closet. One day, someone pulled it out and I picked it up. I couldn’t play anything but I really liked U2 and I always wanted to be able to make cool sounds too. Anyways, I picked it up and played it for a month straight. It’s all I did. That one moment...it was the perfect storm. How did you land on the name “Our Lady Peace” for the band? I was at U of T studying economics, literature and criminology. One of my first year elective courses was poet studies. A poet named Marc really stuck out for me. One of the poems we studied was called ‘Our Lady Peace’. It didn’t happen right away, it sort of took a while, but it

was just sitting in the background of my brain. When we needed a band name, I drew on that experience. The class was so cool; the teacher was cool and poetry for me has always been very musical, so I mentioned it one day and everyone liked it – that’s how we got our name. What was it like hearing yourselves on the radio for the first time? I remember we were still in the studio finishing up our record. The song ‘Birdman’ came out before we even finished the record. Someone told us that The Edge was going to play our song as a Canadian feature so we ran out in the cold to the truck, turned the music on, they announced it and then played it. Recording the music had been so different than what it sounded like on the radio. The radio makes everything sound better, so we thought “Wow” when we heard it on the radio. You sound massive – it was a pretty great experience. Tell us a little bit about the process you typically go through when trying to create new
sounds/lyrics, and who some of your biggest musical inspirations are? In terms of inspirations, we pull from so many different bands that all influence us. In terms of bands, Radiohead is up there. They’re able to challenge themselves on every record, which we really love. We’ve never found a formula that we stick to for sound. We go through ups and downs where we sell a couple million records and then our following record sounds nothing like the previous one. I think that’s why we’re still all together creatively. We’re all on the same journey and we try to push ourselves instead of re-doing something because it doesn’t work. We typically stick to our gut feelings and trust our instincts. It’s well-known that you guys love The Tragically Hip. Were you able to catch their last show in Kingston? We weren’t able to watch it on T.V. as we were away at the time. I watched some clips on YouTube. It’s such an incredible and celebratory time but it’s also a very sad one. I remember before we had a record deal and before we
What are you most looking forward to about your upcoming tour with ‘I Mother Earth’? The last time we did a proper tour with these guys, we opened for them while doing a tour across Canada. We played at every crappy bar along the way. I still think that that’s one of the most memorable concerts we’ve ever done because it was the first one we did in Canada. It was my first one in Winnipeg and, it was my first time in Calgary. At 22 years old I was going across Canada opening up for a band that we all loved. They made it before anyone in terms of signing this big U.S./Canada record deal; it was just amazing. Playing in front of people every night and being on the road for real, it’s different than playing a few Toronto shows in a row, or playing in London, Toronto, or Guelph. We were
actually doing a real tour, so it’s amazing to be able to do it again 20 years later. We’ve been doing a lot together and it’s a real collaborative effort which is great. What does it mean to you to still have such a huge fan base after being in the music scene for nearly 20 years? What are some of your biggest motivators? Our motivation comes from our shows...the energy and the experience and the love of our fans. You can’t put a price tag on it – that’s such a motivator. No matter what you’re thinking or what you’re going through, it helps you realize that life is full of many different lives. Everything we’ve done over the past 20 years has been profound, because it has had an impact on our fan’s lives, and on our lives. We’ve been, and still are grateful to share these experiences. In the studio you always believe that you can make a better song than you did last time, or that you have something better to say now than you did before. I guess it all ends when I feel like I have nothing left to say. As a human being, it feels like you’re always evolving and there’s always a new challenge to take on.
We're all on the same journey and we try to push ourselves instead of redoing something because it doesn't work

were even in the music business, for whatever reason, I went to this music festival in Toronto and The Tragically Hip were there. I had never heard of them so I’m not sure why I went there to be honest, but they came on stage and played 2 songs. I don’t know how to describe it; I just felt like they were very interesting and they peaked my ears more than any other song that night. They’re such an iconic Canadian band and I’m glad that I was able to figure out what that meant to me as a music fan very early on in my life.

Our motivation comes from our shows; the energy and the experience and the love of our fans, you can't put a price tag on it. It’s really the musician life. At the end of the day, there’s a lot of downtime that is counter-productive. It’s kind of a cliché, but I think that’s why it’s so easy to have vices on the road; whether it’s drugs or alcohol or whatever. It’s really easy to fall off the radar because you have so much free time on the road. The studio is different because you’re hyper-focused and it’s creative every minute. On the road, it’s different because you arrive in a city, you get off the bus, go into a hotel room, take a shower and then you have like 7 hours until sound check – so it’s like this really evil how do we make work type of situation (laughs). What accomplishment are you proudest of to date? Do you have a favourite album or song you’ve released that means a lot to you personally? I think there’s one from each record. It’s been a long time since we’ve not played Innocent. That song, for whatever reason, has something in-

trinsic that gives me the chills every time I play it. I’m not sure why. Not just because it’s one of our biggest radio songs – there’s something that just really hits me hard as a fan of music, which is pretty cool. It’s tough as an artist to be a fan of yourself, that probably sounds a little obnoxious and pretentious, but for whatever reason, that song let’s me be a fan for a minute, which is really cool. Your wife, Chantal Kreviazuk, is a very talented artist and it’s said that you two met at a concert in 1996. Can you tell us a bit about how you met? I definitely had to work at it. We were both at the studio making music and we had access to the Sony box for tickets since Pearl Jam was with Sony too. We grabbed tickets for the show and Chantal was sitting in front of us. We hadn’t really talked too much by that point but we had had a few little conversations. I looked in her eyes and just instantly there was something way different than any other relationship I had ever been in. We just talked after the concert for a while, it felt like 6 hours because we talked for so long. We both knew that that was going to be our one opportunity to talk together and to get to know each other, especially since I was going to the studio and she was just starting her career. It was like a path that was meant to be. We both lived in the same city of Toronto but we both felt a sense of urgency to see each other, so we spent the next 3 months talking on the phone and trying to figure out when we were going to be able to see each other again. It was a pretty incredible first night. I remember walking her back to her hotel and when we said goodbye, I thought, crap. I had a sick feeling… I really wanted to get to know this person. It actually worked out because we became good friends on the phone before we got to see each other again 3 months later. How has being a father and a husband changed your outlook on life and singing/ songwriting? I think it really came to light with my first solo. My kids are at an age now where they love music, everything from Bowie to Radiohead, to AC/DC. They just consume so much music. It really puts pressure on me, because I know my
kids will eventually be off on some life journey and they’ll pick up the records, and that’s when you really get to know them. You can speak to your kids all you want but actions speak louder than words. As an artist, your word is on your record and what I am saying in those songs really allows them to get an insight into who I am that I could never just give them by sitting down and talking to them. That’s what puts pressure on you as an artist and as a songwriter. I love it and it’s a responsibility that I truly dig. What do you hope your legacy is in the music industry? I don’t know, it’s tough to say for us. You watch The Tragically Hip and everything that’s happening to them right now and the support and love they received on their last tour. I think if we had one-tenth of that, we’d be happy. I think there really is something interesting about Canada in general. Having artists being able to stay popular and relevant with new generations like The Hip did is something very Canadian. It is an incredible country to grow up in, especially as an artist. We still tour around the world, but Canada is our home and you can never discount how passionate Canadians are about their favourite Canadian bands. What’s next for Our Lady Peace? When is the new album coming out, and what can fans expect? It’s funny actually. We’ve been doing a couple of videos on Facebook with live behind the scenes situations. We’ve been playing some songs off our phones. It’s kind of hard to tell how they sound because we did it live from our phones, but it’s amazing to watch them back over again and to hear the songs. I love technology for that reason – you get so much feedback and you get some old time fans who want to see heavier music, and then you get other fans who want us to just show the love since we’re making new sounds. I think it’s going to be an EP – maybe 5, 6 or 7 songs. We’re going to drop some songs before the tour starts and then during the tour, we’ll release the whole thing. So, we’re busy trying to finish it now. We had a tour booked already and have planned to release music right before. We want to skip the radio hype...we just want to throw it out there. @OurLadyPeace

Bif Naked FEATURES
CANADIAN ROCK STAR, WRITER AND HUMANITARIAN
Bif Naked has many faces: rock star, humanitarian, writer, wife. She rocks them all. Bif started her career in the early 90’s as a punk rock troublemaker who defied the norms. Throughout her life and career, she has revealed herself to be a truly beautiful person inside and out. She has always found it important to stand up for those who need a voice – and her voice happens to be loud and beautiful. Bif has proven time and time again that she is a fighter. After battling breast cancer, heart surgery and kidney failure, Bif is You began your journey in the performing arts at only 3 years old. When did you know that you wanted to make it your career? When I was 3 (laughs). I was enrolled in dance classes first. As a toddler in very beginner ballet classes my first role model as a female, and a mentor in a way, was my ballet teacher. Until I was about 10, I would always tell my parents that I wanted to be a ballet teacher. Shortly after that I was cast in a school play and that experience made me want to be an actress, of course (laughs). I had never wanted to be a singer – I was in piano lessons but didn’t really want to be in music per say, that was just an accident. Now, looking back, it’s the perfect fit for me – it always was. Who were some of your idols or people you looked up to when you got into music? I didn’t have a lot of female role models in the style of music that I was doing at the time. The band I was a part of played with other hard-core punk bands, and some skateboard punk bands – there weren’t a lot of girls I could meet or identify with, so the females that I liked were the regular iconic mainstream pop females like Madonna or Tina Turner. Those types of women to me were extremely brave and strong, and they represented women who didn’t take any guff. I really loved them. Tell us what we can look forward to you in your memoir, ‘I, Bificus’. Ultimately I think it’s pretty honest, and some people might find some of the things that happened to me in my adolescence a bit surprising. I was a runaway when I was in my senior year of high school and I met a lot of unsavoury characters, which I talk about. I also talk about going through my breast cancer treatments and my diagnosis and what that was like. I talk about my dogs passing away and my parents. My parents were civil rights activists in the United States in the 60s – they were Christian missionaries and I find their lives are way more fascinating than mine (laughs) so I wrote about them quite a bit. I like to write like I talk, so I try to be funny a lot.

stronger than ever. In her memoir, ‘I, Bificus’, Bif talks about growing up all over the world with missionary parents, her career, some of the not-so-nice aspects of her journey, and life now…Bif bares all for her fans. FACES Magazine had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Bif about her early beginnings, career, memoir, and some of the things she is truly passionate about. With one national book tour already under her belt, she is set for another to begin this November. What is the meaning behind your tattoos, and do you have a favourite? When I first started getting tattooed it was important to me to keep them connected to my spiritual studies. I really identified with stuff like Hinduism, and I think that was a real side effect of my upbringing – I had no other culture that I identified with except India. When I got into punk rock I became really interested in the Hare Krishna movement, and when I got into yoga my studies deepened into a lot of different philosophies more than religions. A lot of my tattoos really do reflect all of that – I have a lot of Indian deities and I love language, so I have a lot of words tattooed in Hindi and Farsi. I find that ever since my dogs passed away, I draw a lot of things and get them tattooed on me, like cartoons of my dogs and little animals. I think that over the years I have run out of space and I don’t have that pressing desire to run out and get my

It is important to me to stand up for people and to lend my voice to the movement for equality and for diversity. spirituality traced in my skin. Now I find that I am more interested in being really whimsical – I don’t take anything too seriously anymore and I like cartoons a lot. You have always been an advocate for Pride and loving yourself. Tell us what it means to you. I’ve always grown up knowing that there are lots of different people in the world that have different tastes, different likes, different loves, different bodies, and different feelings. My parents were the same way and they raised us like that, almost like little Ghandians – to just love everybody equally. I’ve never had anything other than neutrality surrounding gender, people, sexual orientation, race, religion, etc. I find it very strange when I come across anyone who tries to oppress a segment of the population. It is important to me to stand up for people and to lend my voice to the movement for equality and for diversity. After battling through a divorce, breast cancer, heart surgery and kidney failure you have remained an incredibly positive person and have such a wonderful outlook on life. How did you mange to come through to the other side that way? I think that we all can. No matter what I am going through, I am always constantly aware of the fact that they are all first world problems. Though I am not trying to minimize problems for anyone else, what I mean by that is that I will always find a silver lining. If I’m in chemotherapy I’ll think to myself, Yea, I’m in chemotherapy but at least I have a banana to eat, or Yea, I am going through a divorce, but at least I’m not with someone who isn’t friendly – I always find a way to spin it. Perhaps it’s a coping technique more than anything else, but it works! Why don’t we just choose to try and be happy through everything? We are going to go through the s*** pile no matter what, so we might as well find a way to make it easier on ourselves. You have been exceptionally honest with your fans – is there anything they don’t know about you? (Laughs) Lots! Let me think…so many things! The only thing I can think of are habits – like I probably floss my teeth 7 or 8 times a day. I had my teeth knocked out on stage in 1996 from a microphone and a stage diver, so I had to have my front teeth replaced. As a result, everything I eat gets in my teeth so I constantly floss. You have toured the world and worked with an array of artists over the course of your career. What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishment so far? I think that still being here is an accomplishment. As I get older and as I identify as a woman in her 40’s, I think that

every year that I am able to enjoy working – I enjoy performing now more than I ever did. I think that is because of where I am in my personal life – I feel like I am in a very healthy relationship. and we have fun and we laugh every day. I get to perform with my partner, who is my guitar player. I just think that, as I get older, like any woman in any job/career, it is a remarkable thing to be able to keep working and to keep excelling and trying to push further ever year. I don’t believe that my career has any limitations; I still believe in all my dreams that I did when I was 20, and I think that is an accomplishment in itself. What has been the biggest personal change for you from your punk rock days to today? When I was a young woman I was very serious...I took everything very personally and I was defiant. Now I find that, even if I ever feel any of those things, I take a different approach to them. I can find a better way to get more accomplished with advocacy by literally being more pleasant! (Laughs). I just find that now, my approach is much softer, and that works better for me and I hope to be able to implement the changes that I try to speak towards, and speak for. What was it like switching from loud, energetic music to acoustic music on your latest album? We have always done acoustic shows over the years so it wasn’t difficult to switch. It was time to do an acoustic record for me – I had a lot of requests for it and last summer we did all rock and hard rock festivals, so the new one we are into now is another rock album. Hopefully we will have something else for early next year, but 2017 for sure! What is that you love about the spoken word and poetry? I think that it is a great creative outlet for me. I love language and words and the fact that there are a million ways to say the same thing. I’m a romantic and I love dramatic scenes – it is just a wonderful outlet for me. You have been a big advocate for social causes, whether it be drawing attention to HIV/AIDS, participating in the Welfare Food Challenge, or animal advocacy. Why is it so important to you to raise awareness on social issues? Because I have the opportunity, plain and simple. I think most of us believe in a lot of the same things. I think that we all feel that people should have access to medicine and we believe that no one should abuse people or animals. If I have an opportunity because I have a platform I think it is my responsibility to make sure I speak up for others.

Do you have any pre-show rituals? Not really. When we were on the tour bus the guys in my band always wanted to listen to Slipknot before we went on stage (laughs). With my recent tour with Snake (my husband) he just kisses me and then we go on stage, and that is a ritual I really like! What do you enjoy most about being in Ottawa while you are here? I love Ottawa, I have always loved Ottawa! The first time I was ever in Ottawa was in 1990 and we played at Barrymore’s. I’ve played at Zaphod’s and all over Ottawa! Ottawa is one of those cities in Canada that – and not just because I have a history with it – is so beautiful, and I think that if I had a choice to live in another city in Canada, Ottawa would be a wonderful choice. I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to live in Ottawa...it is amazing, one of our greatest cities. It’s the Capital! I am hugely patriotic and I think it would be so exciting and wonderful to live there. @bifnaked

LADIES, CHOOSE YOUR
Costume Clan THIS HALLOWEEN
BEHIND ALL OF THAT COSTUME CHAOS ARE THESE 5 TIME-HONOURED COSTUME CLIQUES.
THE ‘POPULAR RIGHT NOW’ TO JOIN
1
This clan lives in the moment. Whatever celebrity or TV show is in right now, you can count on them to adapt. Buy some red and blue body paint and make your best Harley Quinn, Britney, Lady GaGa or Miley costume.
2 THE ‘REVEALING’ COSTUME This clan’s craft is adapting original costumes into more suggestive versions. By far a popular category, if you join up with this clan, you will have allies in every bar.
TO JOIN
Simply select what you want to be, and add sex appeal.
THE ‘ALL OUT’ COSTUME
These ladies take Halloween very seriously. They are prepared to spend whatever time and money it takes to see that no detail is over-looked. Take a moment to admire their efforts on Halloween night.
TO JOIN
3
Visit at least 5 different Halloween stores to acquire your full costume. Buy coloured contacts to complete the look.
THE ‘LAST MINUTE’ COSTUME
This clan is skilled at making something out of nothing. And by nothing, we mean a little bit of make-up, old clothes and a dollar-store accessory. They can turn themselves into angels, policewomen, and cats in under an hour.
TO JOIN
Buy a pair of devil horns, find your red dress and wing your eyeliner.
4 36 | October 2016
5 saw one yellow minion run by, THE ‘GROUP’ COSTUME butYouyoujustcould of sworn you saw two.
Don’t let this clan take you by surprise. They like to travel in groups, but as the night progresses, their pack mentality weakens…you may find a lone spice girl walking home with her heels off.
TO JOIN
Grab some of your friends and co-ordinate a clever group costume.

DEAR GUYS, YOUR TINDERING IS TIRED Even if YOU’RE achieving your #tindergoals with every swipe, we think you should switch it up. Here’s why everything you think you want from Tinder, is not what you actually want. Your matching people playing the same game We’re not using the word desperate. We’re just saying that meeting up with your tinder date will never be as exhilarating as finally saying hi to the girl across the bar you’ve been eyeing all night.
You may be swiping away your confidence
When you approach that girl in the coffee shop, you give her at least 25 reasons to reject you. You could have food in your teeth…maybe the way you shrug is reminiscent of her ex. When you swipe right on Tinder, you’re only giving her 1 reason… your face.
You don’t stand out…and we know you want to
You probably think you stand out on Tinder. We’re here to tell you that you don’t. But being the only guy not frantically lowering his search parameters at the bar? That will do the trick.
3 Things Men Should Do
Every day Despite the fact that women can be unreadable,indecisive and catty at times, it’s men who often struggle to have meaningful relationships in their lives.Try to do these three things daily to boost your connections.
Shake Hands
Although it seems formal, men are more likely to regard social interactions as positive if they end with a handshake. Extending your hand in good faith sends a message to your acquaintance that you enjoyed the discussion.
Compliment a Friend
While guys are quick to joke around with their friends, it often takes a little more thought to give their group a compliment. Try to do this daily to let your friends know you value them.
Call a Family Member
Men just don’t pick up the phone as much to call home. Try to make a habit of doing this, and watch your relationships improve.
It becomes a crutch
We’ve checked every inspirational quote on Tumblr, and so far practise is the only thing that makes perfect. Simply put, if you’re always tindering, you’ll lose your game in person.
It makes you an automatic second to the guy who isn’t on Tinder
Oh how ladies love the forbidden fruit! The one they didn’t see on Tinder…and wonder why. Be him.
The best loves come with no warnings
We know matching with that tall blonde may feel like love at first swipe, but really, the best relationships are the ones where you fall in love with someone’s flaws. Put down your phone, and wait for those unexpected matches.

The 13th
ON OCTOBER 7TH, one of the most interesting documentaries will be coming to Netflix. The title is based on the 13th Amendment, which states “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States”. We think this is one to watch.
Mascots
This movie shines a comedic light on the secret underworld of mascots. It’s a comedy that focuses not so much on the athletes, but rather the World Mascot Association Championships ‘Gold Fluffy Award’. Filled with comics as the cast, this is a must WATCH ON OCTOBER 13TH.
Haters Back Off
With 8 episodes, this series tells the story of the YouTuber Colleen Ballinger (A.K.A. PsychoSoprano) and her journey to becoming famous. A must-watch for those obsessed with social media fame, COMING TO NETFLIX ON OCTOBER 14TH.
NEW NETFLIX RELEASES OCTOBER 2016 Midnight Diner (TOKYO Stories)
This Japanese drama tells the story of a diner that opens from midnight until 7am each day and it only gives its patrons the things they request. CHECK IT OUT OCTOBER 21ST.
Joe Rogan: Triggered
10 years after his previous show, Joe Rogan Live, was made available on Netflix, this new series explains his life – from having kids to talking about dolphins, and everything in between. A MUST-WATCH ON OCTOBER 21ST.

Every single episode of this show has action, drama and most likely, blood and drugs. It’s a very unique and suspenseful show that incorporates real footage taken many years ago during the time that the Colombian cartel was aiming to take down Pablo Escobar. Unfortunately for them, it’s not as easy as they had hoped. Season 2 is only the beginning – make sure to give this season a watch. To give you context on this show, Rotten Tomatoes gave Game of Thrones Season 1 an 89% overall rating, Narcos had the exact same review on the website. We guarantee you’ll be hooked after the first episode of this series.

Facts on tHE
BULLDOG Due to the large size of their heads, nearly 85% of bulldogs are delivered at birth through a C-Section.
Bulldogs are awful swimmers and will most likely drown when attempting to swim, which is caused by their large skulls and heavy bodies.
Bulldogs are a very common pet, especially for celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio owns one, as well as Reese Witherspoon, David Beckham, Ashley Olsen, Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Martha Stewart.
Bulldogs have suffered more airline deaths than any other type of dog. This is because they have so many respiratory and heat regulation issues.
Bulldogs can be very stubborn pets. When you first get one, make sure you establish dominance to really show the dog who runs the show. Get your bulldog into regular schedules as soon as possible and make sure to stick to them.

7 WAYS TO HAVE A BETTER MORNING
1
WAKE UP TO SOMETHING PLEASANT: The very first thing most people think about when they wake up are all the things they have to get done that day. It quickly makes them feel overwhelmed, frustrated and stressed out. Instead, start your day thinking about the things you are grateful for, and focus on the fun activities you have planned for the day. Do some heartfelt meditation that focuses on deep breathing. That will wake you up peacefully and put you in the mood to create throughout the day.
3 5 7
LOSE THE TRADITIONAL ALARM CLOCK: Jarring the body from a deep sleep is unhealthy for the nervous system. Waking up to a softer noise that gradually increases in volume is a much better choice. Sounds from nature are soothing and naturally awaken the body.
HAVE AN ORGANIC SMOOTHIE: They say garbage in equals garbage out, so start your day with a powerful organic smoothie. Anything that contains green fruits or veggies is a good choice, along with plant-based proteins. Avoid animal-based proteins which are more difficult to digest.
KEEP CLEAN AIR: When you sleep in a room that has clean air, you’re going to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Use an air ionizer and purifier with a HEPA filter that removes odors and fumes from cleaners, aerosols, carpet and paint. HEPA filters remove more than 99% of airborne irritants.

You will never learn to love the sound of that alarm, but Purna Yoga Master and Profesional Speaker Aadil Palkhivala has seven tips that may help you make peace with your mornings.
2 4 6
DRINK A GLASS OF WARM WATER RIGHT AWAY: Before you head for the coffee, drink a glass of warm water. Warm water will open up the circulation in the throat and stomach. It helps the body naturally hydrate and feel awake and alive. It also helps enhance circulation and removes toxins from the night and day before. People who drink water right before bed and when waking up are also less prone to heart attacks.
TAKE A WARM SHOWER: It’s as common as the chicken and egg debate: should you shower in the morning or at night? The answer is actually both, but especially in the morning, because a warm-to-hot shower will increase circulation in the skin, and help awake the nervous system.
DO YOUR STRETCHES: Just like you would warm-up your car on a cold winter day, you need to break up the tension from the night before and get the body ready for action. Do some simple stretches that focus on the neck, shoulders, hips and spine.
Beat Out the Common Cold Fast When you feel a cold coming on, fight it in five ways:
DECONGEST BY DRINKING WARM LEMON WATER AND HONEY.
MAKE TIME TO REST AS SOON AS YOU FEEL THE FIRST SYPMTOMS.
FLUSH THE COLD BY CONSTANTLY DRINKING WATER.
SOOTHE YOUR THROAT BY SIPPING TEA WITH HONEY.
STEAM YOUR NOSE RATHER THAN BLOWING IT, WHICH WORSENS CONGESTION.

Reading week lets you leave campus behind, so grab a friend and drive out of the city to find cool places to study. Find a new park, coffee shop or library that would normally be too far to study at.
Don’t make the time-old mistake of exhausting yourself on the first few nights of your break. This will only leave you recovering for the rest of the week, with no motivation to study. Instead, go out on those important nights, but drink socially and retire in good time to wake up ready to read.
DO SWITCH UP YOUR STUDY SCENE
DO PARTY IN SMALL CONSISTENT EFFORTS
DON’T STUDY IN YOUR NORMAL SPOT
DON’T PARTY HARD THE FIRST NIGHT
ENTERTAINMENT
DON’T BREAK YOUR ROUTINE DO CONTINUE TO LIVE NORMALLY Do yourself a huge favour and remember that reading week is just a normal week, but without class. Keep your laundry going, remember to stock up on groceries and hit the gym like you normally would. You’ll thank yourself next week.
Reading Weeks Do’s and Don’ts Reading week is here and the world is your oyster. You plan on making the most of this week of freedom, and rightly so. But just to be sure your ready for midterms at the finish line, here are some do’s and don’t for Fall Reading Week.
If you keep your week free for studying, your heart is in a good place, but what looks good on the calendar can be boring in real life. Schedule some breaks into your study time—plan a lunch with some friends or a 20 minute walk every day, which will help you feel less like a prisoner to your books.
Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by loading your week up with road trips and parties, even if they are tentative. You know you’re friends will want to hangout, and reading week leaves you especially vulnerable to the ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ fallacy.

The support between both of us has been wonderful. We share a common goal of making sure out relationship benefits both parties. Bassel Khalil, Napoli’s Café I have been an advertiser with FACES for 2 years. My ads in FACES have generated a lot of new leads and I couldn’t be happier with the way I’m treated by the staff and ownership of the magazine. I recommend any business in Ottawa to advertise in FACES Magazine. Andy Sparks, Real Estate Agent When we took over Allegro Ristorante in 2014 it was hard for us to decide which company to advertise with, who would give us the most support and who we could trust. From helping us with our grand opening to dining at our restaurant, sending us referrals, or even using our private rooms, the team at FACES has been great!

Ways to Deal with Access when you are Separated- PART 2 SUPPORT CONTACT WITH OTHER PARENT Access can – and often does – result in a child not seeing the other parent for an extended time. Even a week-on, week-off schedule can be hard on children, even if they don’t voice it. Support your children. Let them know that it’s okay for them to talk to the other parent while they are with you. It is in your child’s best interest to have contact with you both. You can schedule phone calls, but remember to discuss parameters with the other parent. On the flip side, if your children leave with the other parent, let them know you will be okay in their absence. Avoid expressions of loneliness or abandonment as these can be a source of stress for your child. COMMUNICATION IS KEY Though not always possible, direct communication with the other parent is important. If face-to-face discussions are difficult, emails, text, and other forms of communication can be used. Be respectful of the other parent. Make propositions politely and do not make demands. Try to respond in a timely manner. Communication also requires listening. You can’t expect to get without some give. Most importantly, don’t make your children the messenger. This puts them in the middle of two debating parents. Further, they can feel guilty or distressed by upsetting or disappointing the parent they deliver the news to. DO UNTO OTHERS When you’re planning access, remember to treat the other parent as you want to be treated. Avoid “all or nothing” proposals. Do not ambush a

parent in front of your children about plans – there is nothing worse than making a parent feel as though their saying no makes them the “bad guy”. To help with this, change “you” statements to “we” statements. This moves away from hostility and fosters joint decision making. This language is also important when talking with your child. Rather than saying, “It’s up to your mom/dad” or “your mom/dad is why you can’t come”, tailor your words. “Mom and I have to discuss your going to the cottage” or “we weren’t able to work it out this time.” Though you may not get your desired outcome, it’s a healthier way to deal with these situations. KNOW THE LIMITS Realistically, there are limits as to how much can be decided about access by you and the other parent. If you don’t have a pre-existing arrangement in place, consider making one. Agreements include as much detail as suits you. You can outline weekend and holiday access as well as how and if these will alternate, pickup and drop off times, and whether consent forms are needed for travel. Remember to also discuss how future changes will be made, such as when the children get older. If making this agreement on your own becomes difficult, seek help from a trusted third party, like a friend or a family member. If this isn’t an option, lawyers or a mediator can help. Notwithstanding if you intend to retain a lawyer or mediator to help, it is always recommended to at least have a consultation with a family law lawyer to be aware of your rights and obligations.

5 TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOME
1. PRICE IT RIGHT
After finding out the value of your home, take roughly 15% off. You’ll notice that a handful of buyers will be making bids for the house and will compete for it. Even in poorer markets, people will eventually begin to bid over the price of what it’s worth. It’s like they say—high risk, high reward.
2. LIGHT EM UP UP UP
One of the most attractive things in modern houses is light. A dark home is never a good selling feature. Make sure you turn on a majority of the lights, and make sure the light bulbs are new, bright and warm.
3. WATCH THE UPGRADES
There are certain quick fixes that will increase the selling value accordingly. But, there are also many that won’t. Stay away from huge fixes and just focus on the small repairs that go a long way.
4. DE-PERSONALIZE YOUR HOME
When you’re selling your home, make sure to take all of your personal touches out of it so that the less-potential buyers can picture themselves living there. If you have a lot of personal items that are quite expensive, that might steer away potential buyers. Stage your home or hire a home stager who can come in and arrange your furniture to optimize the visual features of your house.
5. A CLUTCH KITCHEN
www.driverlondon.co.uk
Despite what you think, you’re kitchen is potentially one of the most important parts of your home, when it comes to selling. Typically when you re-do your kitchen, you’re likely to get 85% of your money back. Although it may cost a few thousand in upgrades, having an outdated kitchen will sometimes reduce your selling price by $10,000-$15,000.

FAVORITE ASPECT OF MY WORK IS…
never knowing what will happen next. Even in my wildest daydreams, I could not have imagined that my restaurant would have survived so long and that I could have had such success. I am amazed at all of the fun opportunities I’ve had, like chef collaborations and my own TV show. I very grateful for all the
amazing people I have met along the way, I love my coworkers and fellow restaurateurs/cooks/ chefs.
A DISH TO TRY:
I am a sucker for anything with sardines, if it is on a menu, I will order it.
MY BEST ADVICE FOR THE FOOD LOVER:
Take a chance when you order—at least one item that you would normally shy from. If you are in good hands, it means you might find a favourite new ingredient/dish/type of preparation.
A HELPFUL TIP FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER:
Make the sides the star! Keep the turkey classic, and focus on preparing side dishes that people will remember (and request for next year’s gathering).
MY SEASONAL FAVOURITE:
Every fall I look forward to seeing kabocha squash pop up in the market. It is my absolute favorite, so tasty and hearty. It marries well with beer, cheeses, and makes for immensely comforting fall dishes.
Marc Doiron Marc Doiron is the chef and co-owner of a bright little spot on Elgin street called town. While aiming to be friendly, and approachable, town serves up small and large plates of loosely inspired Italian classics that are distinctly its own. With a focus on locally-sourced ingredients and Marc’s background as a pastry chef, town’s dishes are carefully constructed versions of the food you were craving but didn’t know it. With strong ties to the comummity, town hopes to be the place you come to at the end of the day.... come hungry, leave happy.
FAVORITE ASPECT OF MY WORK IS…
working for myself and with my wife...we work hard but we work together.
A DISH TO TRY:
For me, always pizza. A thin crust, interesting toppings with a thought to how they work together...we had one with in a NYC park with mozzerella, soppresetta and wild honey. It was
62 | October 2016
wood fired perfectly and so simple. I also love the simplicity of Italian. Make sure to use the freshest ingredients and don’t mess with them too much.
MY BEST ADVICE FOR THE FOOD LOVER:
Eat and travel. Be open to all ideas and all places...sometimes the best bites come from the humblest of venues. It’s not always just about the food, the environment and surroundings— sometimes the company you are with make for the best experiences. When you are travelling, be sure to ask a local where the best spots to eat are.
A HELPFUL TIP FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER:
Brine your turkey, and if you have time, take the turkey apart and cook the breast and legs separately...you’ll be glad you did! Make most things ahead of time so you can enjoy the day. If you are prepared, you can just heat and serve and spend more time with those you love. They would rather that than a perfect meal any time.
MY SEASONAL FAVOURITE:
A nice ragu—slow cooked all together— basically a Sunday gravy.
Marc Lepine Marco opened Atelier in November 2008. When it first opened, the restauraunt had only 22 seats and has since doubled in size. They have always served only one menu option: a 12-course tasting menu that runs approximately 3 hours. The food is meticulously prepared, experimental at times, fun, visual, and always delicious
FAVORITE ASPECT OF MY WORK IS…
the creative energy I am constantly surrounded by. It can make a 12-hour shift feel half as long. We like to create food that puts a smile on people’s faces.
A DISH TO TRY:
In no particular order, my favorite dishes to eat are: a perfectly made risotto Genovese, a middle-of-summer Caprese salad (no balsamic), a big piece of Roquefort cheese just by itself, a slice of cold pumpkin pie (no whipped cream), red grapefruit, and the Dino Egg dessert at Atelier.
MY BEST ADVICE FOR THE FOOD LOVER: Do not compromise when it comes to ingredients.
A HELPFUL TIP FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER:
Challenge yourself not to throw any food in the garbage. Roast your potato peels and infuse them with the butter that will end up in your mashed potatoes, use the turkey fat drippings to make your roux that will thicken your gravy, and of course the turkey bones make the best stock.
Michael Moffat Michael has worked in Ottawa for about 15 of the last 20 years. In that time, he has seen a huge shift in the restaurant industry, and feels fortunate to have been part of the early days of helping to change the landscape for dining in Ottawa. He also feels lucky to have worked with some great people who have gone on to open or lead teams in great restaurants across the country. To have had an impact, however small, on some of these great chefs careers is a highlight of my time in Ottawa restaurants.
FAVORITE ASPECT OF MY WORK IS…
A DISH TO TRY:
Sandwiches, tacos, pizza, anything portable. I like food I can eat with my hands while moving. So much of cooking involves using your hands, why not the eating part as well?
MY BEST ADVICE FOR THE FOOD LOVER:
Don’t overthink your food, its purpose is to make you happy, not confuse you.
A HELPFUL TIP FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER:
Brine your Turkey! And if you still screw it up, serve side dishes with natural juices ie.mushrooms, brussels sprouts – to give the impression the turkey isn’t really dry…
MY SEASONAL FAVOURITE:
Classic hot turkey sandwich with your thanksgiving leftovers.
getting to play with knives and fire
Mike Houle Houle attributes his success to Steve Mitton (Murray Street) who taught him how to process whole proteins, and Susan Lafrance (Bistro 115) who taught him the love of French classic cuisine. Mike’s pasta skills come from his roots of Sault Ste. Marie. The chef feels fortunate that his journey led him down the path to opening his own restaurant in Wakefield, Quebec; The Village House. It has always been his dream, one he feels is still hard to believe that has become reality.
FAVORITE ASPECT OF MY WORK IS…
being lucky enough to live and work in a beautiful place (Wakefield Quebec), with my wife and a small great staff who are like family to us.
A DISH TO TRY:
Italian food with a twist is one of my fortes. I’m all about a great sauce, fresh homemade pasta, slow cooked meats. But I’m a Canadian so an obvious sucker for potatoes & bacon and will put them on everything and anything I can.
MY BEST ADVICE FOR THE FOOD LOVER:
Simple is a great way to start in your own kitchen. Quality of ingredients is important and good food takes time, love and tender care. Eat everything & anything you can. Experimenting is important. It will lead you to failures and successes but at least you are continuously learning.
A HELPFUL TIP FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER:
Plan ahead and order a fresh bird from a local farm. Brine your Bird!! This one extra step will increase its juiciness and have your loved ones gobble gobbling over your turkey.

The Stem
Dry Out For Decoration
The SKIN
Roast FOR PUMPKIN CHIPS Pumpkin skins make a great healthy snack. Skin the pumpkin and cut peels to an ideal size. Toss with a small amount of olive oil and sea salt. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until an ideal brownness. Season again. Serve with your favorite dip.
The SEEDS Roast With Your Favorite Seasoning
This is an easy favourite. Scoop out the insides of the pumpkin with a metal spoon. Rinse the insides in a colander to separate the pulp and the seeds. (Save the pulp!) Bring seeds to a boil in salt water (as much salt as preferred). Let simmer for 10-15 minutes before straining. Toss seeds in butter or sprinkle them lightly with oil, and lay flat on a baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees (or until brown). Turn the seeds every ten minutes. When browned, season them with your favorite seasonings, salt or pepper and let cool. Then Enjoy! Seeds should be stored in an airtight container. They will last about 3 months, or a year in the fridge.
The stem is the only part of your pumpkin not edible, but it can still be put to use, decoratively. Carefully cut the stem off of the pumpkin. Be sure to remove every last bit of pumpkin skin off of the bottom. Cut off the bottom to make a straight edge, or gently sand using a fine sandpaper. Store the stems at room temperature in a dry place for 7-10 weeks. Afterwards, they can be painted, or used as stems on wax pumpkins, knit pumpkins, velvet pumpkins or pumpkin pin-cushions. They can also be used in Autumn wreaths and displays.

THIS OCTOBER
USE ALL OF THE PUMPKIN
Don’t let any part of the pumpkin go to waste this year. After carving your pumpkin, be sure to keep it in a dry, cooler place such as the windowsill, rather than outside for display. Carve your pumpkins closer to Halloween, to ensure that they keep fresh to be used for after. If your pumpkin is mouldy inside or beginning to wither or softeN on the outside, it shouldn’t be used for baking. But if it is still fresh, here is how to use everY last bit for the better.

You’ve carved your pumpkin, roasted your seeds, and now you’re left with the stringy goo. Although it may not be as flavourful as the flesh, it can still be used for this tasty treat from www. allrecipes.com. Puree the pumpkin guts and mix with ¾ cup apple juice, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, ½ teaspoon of ground cloves, 1 ½ cups sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Slowly bring this to a boil in a saucepan, then let simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes, or until the mix has thickened. Let cool, and enjoy.
The FLESH PUREE FOR PIE
This is a pumpkin’s true destiny. Cut the gutted pumpkin in half. Place face-down on a prepared baking sheet with aluminum foil and a light layer of oil or butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 ¼ hours, or until tender. Puree the pumpkin pulp. This puree can be used to make pumpkin pie, muffins, or a variety of other pumpkin desserts.

Pizza Crust Alternative
No recipe alternative can replicate the greasy, saucy, gluten-filled delicacy that arrives at your door in a saturated box at midnight. However, there are great alternatives to delight that create a healthier, guilt-free treat. I take comfort in knowing that by making some adjustments to the crust, I can eat more than usual, and not feel depressed as I descend into a pizza coma.

Add one cup of your sweet potato mash, almond flour, baking soda, Italian seasoning, and salt to a large bowl. Knead well together with your hands until the mixture resembles a ball of orange pizza dough. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, and press out the dough to a large circle. The dough should be about a 1/2 inch thick. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges of the dough are slightly browned. Remove your pizza from the oven, add the sauce, cheese, and preferred toppings, and broil for three to five minutes until cheese is melted.

Being stuck in traffic during your daily commute can leave you vulnerable to the slouch. Exercise for at least five minutes for every 30 minutes you spend on the road. Focus on strengthening your core muscles which will support your posture.
Position your TV at a higher angle so that you are looking slightly up at it. Be weary of the dreaded couch-slouch, and sit straight with proper back support.
Invest in a chair that is ergonomically designed to support your lower back to ward off the office slouch. If not possible, bring a lumbar support pillow to work.
Your phone is a dear friend of the slouch. Make a habit of always keeping your chin parallel to the floor. This includes standing tall as if someone is pulling you on a string from the top of your head. You may need to bring your phone up a little higher to see comfortably.
When on your laptop, always position your arms at an angle, and never straight. Avoid using your laptop in bed, where the slouch is most likely to attack. Practise tilting the screen back more than usual to promote better posture.
