Hungry for haute couture? Look no further than SUBWAY’s collaboration with Canadian designer Sunny Fong, owner of Vawk, who launched a capsule collection inspired by food at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto.
“We are always looking at new ways to be a part of pop culture and share our healthy living message,” said Kathleen Bell, Director of National Marketing, SUBWAY Restaurants Canada.
Fashion Week presented an opportunity for SUBWAY to make a bold statement with stunning outfits inspired by their menu. This marked the first time SUBWAY participated in the festivities. Six outfits were seen on the runway, plus two other designs were displayed in the tent with materials from SUBWAY packaging. Backstage, models were fed SUBWAY sandwiches to help energize them — what a filling snack!
Imagine if your employer rewarded you for knowing the company’s history inside and out. Campbell’s partnered with Allen & Gerritsen’s A&G Labs for an innovative employee engagement initiative that does just that. Campbell’s added an interactive level to their cafeteria’s vending machine and in doing so, they prove that vending machines can do extraordinary things.
As you can see in the video, the screen on the vending machine asks employees trivia questions about Campbell’s. If they get two out of three questions correct, then a prize will drop out at the bottom. Usually it’s a small snack, but a few lucky winners can win a GoPro camera or Fitbit.
The element of mystery adds to the fun and it’s not surprising to see that employees want to gather around and watch as their peers answer questions. What a unique thing to do during a break!

Make room for another documentary about the obesity epidemic. In Fed Up, narrator Katie Couric walks viewers through history to explain why so many Americans are overweight.
In addition to featuring numerous interviews with professors, politicians and doctors, Fed Up chronicles the lifestyles of a few students. The students provide testimonials in between clips of them at home, school and doctor appointments.
In 1977, when a government report was released encouraging the food industry to manufacture food with less fat, food manufacturers responded by decreasing calories and increasing sugar. I like one doctor’s approach to explaining how consuming sugar affects our metabolism. “You can eat a bowl of Corn Flakes with no added sugar or you can eat a bowl of sugar with added Corn Flakes,” he says. “They might taste different, but below the neck, they’re metabolically the same.”
Unemployment is a crucial time to focus on priorities in your personal life. It’s important to establish a routine and create structure, as that’s the best way to avoid sitting at home with negative thoughts, which could lead to a downward spiral.
Once you’ve found an effective job hunting strategy that you can realistically execute, set aside time to relax. Take this time to lead the balanced lifestyle that you know you should strive for on a regular basis, but let laziness and the busy trap get the best of you.
It could be in a digital app that you can sync and access across your devices with password protection. I recommend the app Day One, which offers prompts to get you thinking and keep you on a schedule. Evernote is another good option. Create a new notebook marked Personal or something ambiguous so strangers looking over your shoulder will never guess you use the app to record private feelings.
Of course you can maintain a journal the old fashioned way with pen and lined paper. Store it somewhere safe at home. If writing down miscellaneous observations during the day is something you’re not used to doing, then keep it simple and start with something basic. Indigo sells One Line A Day memory books and if you make writing in it a habit, then you will have a fascinating log to reflect on months or years in the future. See how much you have grown, matured and changed in the process.
