This park is on the same stretch of beach where my parents condo is situated. One time, my dad and I took the challenge of swimming to the park. But for the walkers, this park delights as there are trails you can walk on, and don't forget, there is…More »

Swimming is my form of exercise and I can't get enough of it (2 hours per week). However, as I age, it seems my muscles need other simulation to keep it from flabbing, so I decided to venture into hot yoga. I love heat...love, love, love. I have…More »

I was going to a party in downtown and the forecast was going to be snow and ice and cold. I knew it was going to be a late night, so I decided to book a hotel room downtown to prepare. But, I didn't feel like anything big and expensive, rather, the…More »

I am not sure when I first saw the popularity of the 5 Toe Shoe rise, but I didn't really catch onto the craze then. I remember shots of Matthew Mconnahey and Jennifer Aniston on In Style with these shoes and stories of how it is soooo good for…More »

My parents condo is right across this park so we love it. Summers are busy and Sundays can be a zoo here. During the winter though the boardwalk is nice and empty. I came here walking with my boyfriend and it took us an hour back and forth.  Come…More »

I have been a Blackberry user since I can remember..like when it first came out (that blue one...), I snapped it up. For me, browsing on the internet wasn't that big of a deal as the actual keyboard, and BBM. Then, apps became more evolved and I…More »

I went to this Winner's location during my lunch time as it is steps from my work. I don't frequent Winner's often and when the store first opened way back when, I was expecting brand, BRAND names. Now, it is just a place where you can get decent…More »

I came to Murale yesterday as I was in the area. My dad wanted to pop in Murale to see what latest cosmetics there were. The face cream I use can ONLY be purchased at Holts and since I purchase mine from Yorkdale, the location is a bit far from my…More »

If you ever need a quiet place to study, this library has almost 7 floors of working desks for one to study, read, or do work. I used to frequent this area during my high school days to get tutored - the downstairs level is a quiet only area with…More »

This is what I call an outlet mall! This mall takes a whole day...and then some to cover, so best bring your most comfy walking shoes. I would suggest coming early to get prime parking...and to avoid the mad rush, especially during the holiday…More »

I came here yesterday to find some gift boxes and you can't go wrong with Dollorama. Some items are $2 but the majority of goods here are a buck. Here are things I think you should buy at a Dollorama versus other stores because the products are the…More »

If you know me, I can't stand crowds. I shudder at the thought of going to Scotiabank Theater on a Friday night when a popular movie first comes out (unless its the screen where you can book your seats, but even then..)

I love this place for all the earings they carry - just walls and walls of small, large, irregular shaped, shiny or feathery earings. As per other reviews, don't expect all your earings to last for years and years as most of mine have either lost a…More »

Not only is Yorkdale going through a major renovation, HR will get a makeover too! The cosmetic section will be gaining lots more space, and thank goodness, as the area is quite cramped as it is...and the weekends?

I only come to HR for a particular…More »

2.0 star rating
  2/16/2012

I don't think I am the target market for Ron White's shoes. The shoes are catered to clientele who find comfort to be paramount, and style not so much. Ron White has his own brand of shoes, and at around $350-$400 a pair at minimum, you are paying…More »

This hotel is centrally located (Yonge and Bloor) and it's a hotel I always miss. It is nothing ostentatious, nothing that says look at me, but I decided to check this hotel out due to a Yoga event I had to attend nearby. Right next to Bloor subway…More »

I am so behind in the Yoga craze. I finally NOW just got into the "hype" of it and am signed up to Moksha North York. However, my bf wanted to try Hot Yoga and since I have always wanted to do a class with him, we decided to do a mini Yoga retreat in…More »

Serious reviews of hotels - some great and others not so.
