1. I Love Health Store
Vancouver, BC V6B 2V5
(778) 855-4301
Category:
Health Food Store
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I had an hour to kill today, was in the neighborhood, and decided to finally check it out. There's a heart and an exclamation mark in the store's name, which made it likable already!
What, giant canisters of Vega Whole Food Optimizer on sale for…More »

Dear Whole Foods
You are my happy place. Did you know that your birthday and mine are the same? Thanks for the party and cake 2 years in a row! I have had perfect, jump-with-glee experiences here almost every visit except for the time that the stock…More »

Cosmetics & Beauty Supply

Yesterday I rushed to visit after work, and made it there 20 minutes before closing. Rachel, the girl working there was very welcoming and helpful, not making me feel rushed at all. What a sweetie.
The purpose of the visit was to nab a particularly…More »

Categories:
Jewellery,
Home Decor
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
OH-EM-GEE, this store is so cute that it hurts. It looked sweet, crafty, and tastefully creative on the outside, and then I walked in, to find myself (and a few fellow Yelpers) standing amidst a veritable wonderland of colours, patterns, whimsy, and…More »
5. Solarice Wellness Spas
The lovely employer at my on-call job treated me and our other staff chickies to Solarice for a wonderfully thoughtful after-hours pedicure party, where we had the salon booked all for ourselves. My full-time job is as a professional cook, so…More »

Hair Salons
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
I've been coming here for almost 2 years now! Kim is still my hairdresser. She has made my stubborn thick/straight/frizzy hair look fierce when short, and maintained it well as I've been growing it out for about a year and a half, from a Rihanna…More »

When I need to be looking sharp, Kim at Colourbox is my go-to person.

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Riley Park
Le Marche is a personal favourite spot, and it will always seem magical to me. Under different owners, this place was a yucky corner store in the neighborhood my friends and I grew up in. After LMSG opened, a girlfriend hinted that it might be worth…More »

Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Coming in here for me is like being a diabetic kid in a sweet shop. I like everything here, but can't have most of it.
I love bright colours, sparkles and pretty things, so the entire store is a giant tease, but I don't leave with a giant hole in my…More »
Recently updated lists from Kari C.
East Van, Yo! (26)Some people are afraid to cross Main street, for fear of junkies and hobos, which is when I say, "'I've lived in East Van for 20 of my 25 years and haven't shanked you yet. Now hold my arm and let's run!" |
Werewolf Time (20)These are the places that I get some serious food cravings for. |
Coveted FTR's (12)What? What do you mean nobody had written about how great (or terrible!!) this place is yet? |
Surefires (41)This is where I like to go because it's reliably good and I have a goal in mind, whether it's finding the perfect gift, taking someone special out for a good meal, or hunting for an ingredient or tool. Keep in mind that my standards are really high, but good food and competent service shouldn't be too much to ask for! |
Eff THIS Noise! (19)Some places deserve a second chance, but I'm definitely not coming back to these places. Mega-frown!! |
ROTDs (6)Wow, people actually read my stuff. Hooray! |
Faux Nostalgia (10)I am one of those sassy ladies who likes to pretend that we're deliciously feminine 50's pin-up girls. Here's where I like to revel in a simpler time that never was mine to begin with! |
House of Flying Daggers (11)Where I like to buy my equipment (knives, steels, tools etc) and groceries. Everything you need to pretend your home is a gourmet restaurant... |
