This was the Sephora store that started it all!  They were sooooo good to me, helpful and knowledgable.  I have never had a bad experience at this location.  They are the reason I should have shares in the company!

I love this place for the handsoap.  Yes the deal isn't the same as you will find in the states but I think the difference is minimal.  If one really feels the need to save the whooping $5 difference (in US funds of course) then drive to Bellingham…More »

I am a fan of the perfume and this little place is a great place to go for the name brand stuff at a better price.  It doesn't hurt that the Canadian dollar is near par so it makes that much more sense for me to shop there for my smell pretties!

Yesterday I was feeling shaggy!  Really shaggy!  Poofy too!  So I decided I wanted a hair cut and knew that my go to place wasn't going to work for me today.  

I went online and remembered that I hadn't tried out Eclipps before.  In years past it had…More »

Ok, who can honestly say they don't LOVE LD's?  Me, I can rarely go into one and not meander.  This is another one that makes me need to look down EVERY aisle.  

This is a typical London Drugs.  The down side is that it's a bit hard to navigate.…More »

All About Pets (11)

Here are the places I will willingly take my animals too!

Pet friendly businesses (34)

Hello yelper friends!  If you are anything like me your dog (s) go everywhere with you and you hate leaving them in the car, so here is a list of pet friendly businesses.  Just don't let them pee everywhere because it could ruin it for the rest of us! I heart my pets!

Mary Kay (3)

Since I am an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay, I figured I would share with you the pro and cons of hosting some events outside the home :)!  Did that make sense lol?  Basically these are places/businesses I come into contact while trying to build my business!

Retail Therapy (69)

When I am down and depressed I take myself shopping and I feel happy!

4* (just a little something missing) (134)

These are all great places but there was always something missing.  Didn't make them horrible but didn't get them the coveted 5*!!!

On the cheap! (58)

Cheap is all in relation to the item and thus this list has many different price ranges BUT they are all cheaper than their competitors.  I have also put in a few out of country items too :)!

I love me some clothes... (22)

I don't think a clothing list needs a description lol.

Food, food & more food! (43)

I love food!  Here are some of my fav places to get my food on!

The 5 Spot (85)

5 stars only club!

Grocery Shops (22)

Good for picking up your daily nutritional needs.  I tend to go to a few different places instead of sticking to just one store lol.
