I will preface this review by saying I've only been here once (I hate writing a review after just one go!). But after waiting a few weeks to get some weekend time off to go, I just can't wait.
I got a slight speakeasy feel when we were heading…More »

I've been foiled a few times in attempts to get to Campagnolo, but last night, lo and behold, my efforts were fulfilled. And how!
My date and I were walking by and, rather than taking the extra 10 minutes to get to the Ossington strip (in the chill),…More »

And onward goes my Passport to Prana-ing!
I tried a Level 1 class at DD after a short post night shift sleep and a delicious lunch with my baby bro and his gf. I will be honest and say that I too had heard a lot of bad press about DD from friends,…More »

Dearest Westons, Bless your Hearts.

Meat Shops
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
There are times when a girl just wants a big steak. Or a thick slice of meatloaf. And doesn't want to make it on her own. On days like that (today?), the Healthy Butcher is really the only place I can think of.

It was only a short 4 days since I'd moved south to Queen West and I was faced with an ever-daunting dilemma: where to have brunch when a friend visits?? I had my Annex haunts down pat, but had no clue what was good, what was bad, and what was ugly…More »

**Disclaimer: 4.5 stars**
After being a long-time Cobs Bakery gal (see my review of the Kensington Market location), I went a few doors west on Baldwin and gave My Market Bakery a try for my weekly loaf and monthly buns. I have been in on and off…More »

I will preface this by saying I have a strong fear of getting my hair cut by new stylists. This may stem back to my early teen years when, after a run-in with a very strong Sun In bottle and a week at a cottage, I ended up with the world's…More »

I will make this brief, as I'm going on hour 27 of being awake (whoo night shift?).
You cannot get a better shopping experience at any other store. I've been in a few times before, and gawked longingly at the window nearly every week (if not three…More »
