Ordering Lunch in Downtown Toronto with Ritual (Sponsored Post)

A new app is available on iOS and Android (though it is currently invite only).  If you are looking for lunch (or even breakfast or dinner) and are near the King Street area (pretty much Jarvis to the east, Liberty Village to the west and down to the lake in the south), you can use […]

Garnier Clean + For Sensitive Skin

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 […]

Shoppers Drug Mart Can Help Your Winter Skin Issues

It’s the post-holiday season and with all the junk we’ve been eating over that period, along with cold weather, many of us are having skin issues. The dryness, the itchiness and everything else disgusting that goes along with the season! Luckily, there are many products to choose from, especially at Shoppers Drug Mart. One of […]

Dare2Give Holiday Campaign

The holiday season is coming up, and it’s a time about giving, not receiving. Sure, as kids, we made long lists to our parents’ dismay, but at school and other youth-related activities, we were also given the opportunity to help. I remember collecting food for the food bank as well as bringing in toys. As […]

There are also a variety of different hair dryers as well as curling devices, such as the MiraCurl by Babyliss. Then, there are the nail supplies […]

Get Ready, Get Set for Shoppers Drug Mart’s 30 Days of Beauty!

    It’s time to make a shopping wish list. It’s not for back-to-school, since I don’t have kids and am only taking one continuing education course online (I graduated from university more than 10 years ago), but for beauty products. It’s nearly fall, after all, and time to replenish some favourites and maybe even […]

Milk Poached Black Cod with Garlicky ‘Mornay’ Sauce

So first of all, what IS a Mornay sauce?  According to foodterms.com, it is a cheese sauce usually made with Parmesan and Swiss.  Since the following recipe uses a cheese mixture of Mozzarella and Cheddar, it is not Mornay by traditional standards (and thus, in quotations).  But it doesn’t matter.  It’s still a cheese sauce […]

Spring Beauty Renewal and Some Easy, Lightweight Favourites

Spring is coming up.  Many women take advantage of the new season to revamp their look.  Some might buy new, stylish clothes to mix with the classics in their closet.  Others look into accessories.  For me, it is definitely beauty.  It is out with the heavy, intense looks of fall and winter and in with […]

Holiday 2013: Making Gift Giving a Cinch at Shoppers Drug Mart

    As a city girl living in the downtown Toronto area, I’m not exactly close to all-purpose (i.e. non-electronics or home-focused) big box stores.  In fact, I believe the closest one to me is at least a 20-minute subway ride away!  So if I’m looking for something quick, I often head to Shoppers Drug […]
