I recently had the chance to try Garnier Clean + For Sensitive Skin, a make-up remover that I received from Garnier Canada for review purposes. The product, which does not contain alcohol, dyes or fragrances which can strip away moisture or irritate skin, removes more make-up (including eye make-up) with the same amount than my […]
On last week’s episode of Chopped Canada, the appetizer ingredients included ingredients such as frogs legs, thumbprint cookies and romaine. The main course required chefs to use cherry cheesecake and T-bone steak while dessert had paneer and elderflower liqueur in the basket. They were all kind of throw-offs! Though I considered getting a bit creative […]
So Fresh off the Boat has aired for a few weeks and I’ve had a bit of a chance to reflect a bit more. And especially after reading experiences of other Asians on message boards, I feel privileged that my parents really aren’t all that FOBBY (and very different from the show (which is based […]
Besides turducken, which was for the main course, other ingredients included hamburger pasta dinner (e.g. Hamburger Helper (yuck!!)) and perch for the appetizer and crystalized ginger and fiddleheads in the dessert round. Again, I’ll be focusing on the main course this week (I don’t know why I gravitate towards that!). Purple potatoes Besides turducken, other […]
Equal Pay Rant and Being Relevant: Patricia Arquette at the SAG Awards in January Patricia Arquette’s rant about equal pay is still buzzing around the internet, with most people applauding her speech. And while I agree with Ms. Arquette that equal pay for equal work (even if the definition of “equal work” is highly debatable) […]
Just wanted to wish everyone who celebrates a very happy Lunar New Year and prosperous Year of the Goat/Sheep/Ram! Enjoy celebrating with friends and family! What will you be doing and what are your traditions? I usually have a nice vegetarian meal on the first day (I’m not a fan of Chinese jai, so I’ll […]
Ingredients for episode six included tuna steaks and french fries for the main and Royal Gala apples in the dessert round. For this week, I will concentrate on the mystery basket in the main course. In addition to the fries and tuna, the remaining two ingredients were lime pickle and pina colada mix. This is […]
Canadian seafood provider, Toppits, has just launched its gluten-free line of breaded fish which I recently had the chance of trying at a luncheon, courtesy of High View Communications. Currently, there are three in the line, black pepper cod, lightly seasoned haddock and savoury lemon sole. The fish can last for 18 months in the […]
Rebecca Minkoff’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection, presented on Friday, is about the rocker chick fringe. From the tall boots to jackets and more, it was in almost every look going down that runway. Really, the only thing missing were models carrying guitars with them as they walked. While the pieces can be a little young – […]
It’s interesting. When I first started writing about BCBG, the runway pieces were very different from what one might see in the boutiques. It’s changed since Max Azria got rid of his namesake line to concentrate exclusively on BCBG and Hervé Leger. For a while, it was a bit difficult to distinguish between the two […]
