Man, I feel like a Woman!

See All Lists
Every female should have a place (or two) that makes her feel good about herself, both inside and out. As Shakira would say, release your inner She-Wolf! These places not only make me feel good about myself but slightly empowered. Now, if only I could get that dang Shakira song out of my head!

I've been going to Aradia on and off for about 2 years. When you first get there, the fit and confident instructors may throw you off. Coupled with the fact that our beginner's class started right after a level 8 class, it was a little daunting. But…More »

I had been to the Everything To Do with Sex Show and I believe I signed up for the Good For Her's newsletter. I noticed that they had sexuality workshops and decided to attend one called Giving Good Head. I was intrigued that this class was sold out…More »

Recently ordered from them and the shipment got lost in the mail. Their correspondence is not quick at all but they did refund me my purchase. I would recommend always using the shipping option that provides you with a tracking number.

After my initial review, Tien was kind enough to invite me back for another mani/pedi. I scheduled and rescheduled so many times due to other appointments that popped up. Each email I sent was responded as quickly as possible and Tien always…More »

I've been doing yoga on and off at home and was wary at doing a class. It may not be competitive but I didn't want to be the only one straining to touch my toes! I was happy that my first experience at the Yoga Sanctuary would be with other…More »

I love going to the salon to get my hair done. That's because of Azan's. I've experienced services that I didn't get at other black-owned salons I've been to, which may shock some.

1. My appointment starts on time. As soon as I enter and register, I'm…More »

I went here last month to celebrate my birthday and my friend's birthday. My friend had never had a massage before and was a little wary of it (oh men!). However I assured him that once he went Elmwood, he would never go back.

The massage was exactly…More »

I love this location. It's not as busy as the Bloor one can be and even when they're rushed, they still take the time to give you a proper fitting. I go in here occasionally to see what new products they have and, whenever a friend of mine wants to…More »

A Living Social deal for a Brazilian led me to Studio Vis-A-Vis. It's located close to College and Ossington and was easy to get to by TTC. When I walked in, my coat was taken and I was checked in within 10 minutes. There was no attitude regarding me…More »

Recently updated lists from Nicole B.

Virgin Territory (23)

You always remember your first...unless it involved alcohol

Places I would send R**** from high school (15)

R**** was my sworn enemy from grades 11 to OAC. I would send her to these places because they suck and because I went to an all-girls school so I totally know about revenge and stuff.

Cold as Ice! (16)

The places I like that blast the AC

My Decemburger journey/Mon voyage de décemburgère (7)

Can I handle 22 burger spots in one month? As Decemburger bears upon me, I set myself up to sample what may be the best (or worst) burgers of my life.

My Comfort Zones (11)

These are places that make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. I venture here often.

Washington, DC (9)

The places I visited on my last trip

Sush-sush-sushi-ooooo! (8)

My best and worst

Sugar Coma (5)

Desserts so good, I wouldn't share with my mom.

Thunderstorms? Pshaw! (6)

I believe thunderstorms should only be enjoyed from the comfort of my bed. But if I did go out, it would only be to these places.

Cut-eye and Steups (3)

I'm judgmental when it comes to my own culture's food!
