I can't believe I hadn't been in Sawadee Tea House until this week! What an amazing little tea shop! For a long time I thought most of the loose tea in Halifax came from 'The Tea Brewery' which i'm not a big fan of.

'Sawadee' has a great selection of…More »

Ahh, knitting. One of those things you assume you should be able to pick up no problem only apparently, it takes a lot of time and skill. Bummer.

If you are interested in learning to knit, 'The Loop' has great classes. For those of you already in…More »

Recently updated lists from Courtney M.

Beat the Holiday Scramble! (8) Here are a few of my favorite local shops, where I have found something for every single one of my loved ones, Christmases past and present.	Hump Day Specials to waken your Wednesday! (3) So it's November in Halifax... the patio's are put away for the season and the weather reads: rain with shades of heavy rain for the foreseeable future. This can make getting through the week a tad glum so here's a few hot spots to liven up your Wednesday and get you through to the other side of your work week: Moksha Power Flow class at 5:30pm. Not for the faint of heart, this class is both challenging and fast paced. Can YOU handle it!? Remedy Spa offers 50% off on waxing Wednesday which means you can get all your parts ready for the upcoming weekend! Rogues Roost offers two power hours on Wends, one from 5-7pm and a draft beer special form 10-12! Sure to cure what ale's yah!
Best (cheap and yummy) locally owned/sustainable food spots! (6) The best in local eats around Halifax.	Haut Chocolate! (3) Best hot chocolate locales around Hali...
Poorly christened eateries and shops (5) These places can be spotted a mile away- where puns and word plays have actually managed to make these businesses even LESS appealing, just by virtue of their names.	Kick ass dive bars (3) authentic and grungy, these spots always have cheap beer specials and a few amusing regulars to keep you entertained.
Best Sushi (3) The thoroughly compiled and heavily researched list of my favorite Sushi spots in Halifax!
