Coffee Talk With Erica Diamond: Fifty Shades of Grey

So, today I decided to step away from the computer, and to your local YouTube channel. It was time. Today, I’m in a bun, glasses, no makeup, and sipping coffee on my deck… a.k.a my summer office.

I asked you on Twitter what you wanted to chat about in today’s vlog, and it seems many of you want to discuss Fifty Shades of Grey, and who Universal should cast as the leading man, Christian Grey. This week, it has been speculated that the top two contenders for the role are Ryan Gosling (The Notebook) and Ian Somerhalder (Vampire Diaries).

St. Jean Baptiste Date DAY

I am checking in from a day off! Hi Ladies! Today is St. Jean Baptiste- a statutory holiday, only in Quebec. June 24th and July 1st are the two days I look forward to the most every year– St. Jean Baptiste and Canada Day. Why do I love them so? Because they are not date nights, they are date DAYS!

Happy Father’s Day to my most special father. I think the way he looked at me on my wedding day, just says it all.
