Spotlight: August 30, 2010 – Express Computers
We hate to be the ones to bring it up, but it’s almost that time of year again. Time to return to the grind, dust off the computers and notebooks and head back to school and work. While we can still enjoy some warm weather for weeks to come, days are getting shorter and the long, lazy days of summer are coming to an end.
September is usually a time of organization for us. We clean out the office and get our computers checked out/updated. Last September we visited Express Computers in Langley and we were extremely impressed with their knowledge and service offerings. READ MORE >

It’s a contraption that you may have seen before, but let’s face it, it doesn’t look like a very enjoyable time.
Let’s first clarify the difference between Pilates and yoga, since many people seem to interchange the two words and while there are some similarities in the benefits of each, they are, in fact, very different from each other. READ MORE >
