1. Sephora
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!
2. Sephora

(604) 678-2360
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Metrotown
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sephora (should have a share in the company by now) but have not been a fan of the service at the Pacific Centre location so I was so very surprised and happy when I stumbled into the Metrotown location. I went into pick up an eye…More »
3. Devan Greenhouses
This is your typical greenhouse but it does offer a few unique items that I have not seen in other garden stores.
A few weeks ago I was on a mission to find planters that would fit over my railing as the ones I had from a previous home didn't fit…More »
4. Canadian Tire
Canadian Tire is like London Drugs to me. I can wander the aisles for a life time. This past weekend I went to look at herbs as they had a few that I wanted a few days before but couldn't get at the time. Well needless to say that most of the…More »
5. Grand Central Consignment
WOW! This place was fantastic! I have been off ill and gained a few pounds and didn`t want to look sloppy so I decided to check this place out after looking up plus sized clothing stores in the Vancouver area. I was super stoked when I walked in…More »

Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K8
(604) 693-3118
Category:
Jewellery

I need a new nose ring and after reading a review of another Blue Ruby location I decided to come here. This location is small and I had a hard time walking through but that could also have been because other people seem to have walking one foot in…More »
7. Loonie Plus Stores
I have been looking for a dining room table for months! I knew what I wanted but wasn't seeing it anywhere. So last week my bf and I went into the local Loonie Plus store to see some of the furniture they have to offer (obviously more the Plus side…More »
8. Petsmart
This PetSmart store is fantastic and puts a couple of the others to shame. Sherry, Alannah and Ariel are fantastic and it would be a shame if they ever left. My dog loves it there and all three are his "girl friends".
The variety and quality of…More »
9. Sunrise Garden Centre
So I was back here today! I just love, love, love this place. I am working on a vegetable/fruit/herb balcony garden and they had so many of the things that I wanted. There are a couple of things that they don't have for mint plants (i.e. chocolate…More »

Jewellery,

Today was my first foray into this little shop of fun! I could browse all day andd can't wait to have more time to do so. This is not the place to run into and have someone waiting in the car for you (like I did today lol).
The shop is ecclectic.…More »

Since I can suffer from anxiety on occassion I decided to check out natural ways to feel relaxed instead of going the medication route. Boy have I been shown the way! I have mists for refreshing and sleep. I have roll ons for headaches (Peppermint…More »
12. GardenWorks
Can I just say that Gardenworks has taken my black thumb to green. This past fall I bought a little Fat Albert that I will be keeping on my balcony until Christmas, at which time I will have my own life Christmas tree with out the cost and dying…More »

Cosmetics & Beauty Supply

I have always been a little disappointed with the service at this store and today started out the same. I wasn't approached as I walked in, even though there was a sales rep there and as I walked toward another, she ducked behind a pillar to talk to…More »

14. Queensborough Landing
I kept the economy afloat down at Queensborough Landing lol! There are so many things for the mind, body and savings soul here. First, the Walmart which is my dirty secret but hell, can't go wrong for some of the prices. There is alsoa Best Buy…More »
15. The Salvation Army
What I do like about the thrift store is the selection of books and some unique kitchen wares. Sometimes you can find a shirt or skirt that's a good deal but for me that rarely happens. What I do like about the location is the building. I like the…More »
16. Walmart
This is my dirty little secret! I love going here just to browse and see what is new. It has everything someone on a budget needs. If i need a number of items then I will take the time to drive here. Usually the savings doesn't outweight the gas…More »
17. GumDrops
I really enjoy this store. They even have rain coats for my dog, which is a plus. The only down side has been finding boots that I like in my size. They never seem to have them lol. I have been waiting since Christmas to spend my gift card. This…More »
18. Coach
AHHHHHH! I am in LOVE with this place! Handbags are one of my vices and this store has it all. Not only do they have THE BEST prices on Coach bags, they add on by having 20% off on top of the 50% off on top of the marked down price of the outlet…More »
19. Dressbarn Dressbarn Women
Well if you are like me, you like a deal for your clothes that actually fit. I have made my way down to Burlington a few times and am NEVER disappointed with the Dress Barn. They have some nice clothes for all sizes, which can be a bit harder to…More »
20. Swimco Metropolis at Metrotown
Who likes shopping for swimwear? Lets see a show of hands. Yep, that's what I thought! No one has put their hand up because swimwear shopping is what one may consider torture.
Last week I needed to waste some time after having my eyes dilated at…More »

Categories:
Tobacco Shops,
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
Recently it was suggested that I try writing again (beyond my yelping ways) so I decided I would try my hand at journaling (sp). Since I was at Lonsdale Quay already I thought I would take a wee peek in here. Perks is a cute little store that sells…More »
22. Coach Metropolis at Metrotown
I LOVE Coach almost as much as I LOVE Sephora but to be honest I can't afford the Canadian prices, thus why I normally head to Burlington to the Coach factory Store but today I had to meander in here just for a sniff and look see.
What I can say…More »
23. Skagit Cycle Center
A few weeks ago I went down to the Outlets for a shop and stumbled upon this gem! We were looking for a cruiser bike and Spencer helps us find the one we wanted. With the exchange rate it's still a steal for the bike we decided on.
We have since…More »
24. FotoFun Foto Source - CLOSED
Welcome to my favourite photo store. It doesn't hurt that a great friend of mine works here (who is not the owner by the way) but I also get great service and attention whenever I come here for my photo needs.
Just recently I purchased a second…More »

(604) 985-2191

I love coming here. It's beautiful, relaxing and one can buy some great food here. The best part of the Lonsdale Quay is the view from the top of the Q!
26. Fort Langley Cyclery
As most of you know, if you have read my reviews, that I have a couple of dogs. One of which is terrified of bikes and I have two :)! I really wanted to be able to take my dog Puck out on bike rides so I was on a mission to find a basket that I could…More »
27. IKEA
OK who isn't addicted to IKEA??? I know that I am. I come here for lunch and then a shop. You can get a decent sized lunch, which is also healthy, for a great price.
Shopping here is an experience. You can't just go in and out, you MUST go from…More »
28. Ten Thousand Villages
I LOVE shopping here! I always feel like I have contributed to a group that deals in fair trade. The store is eclectic and interesting.
As Inga mentions in her review, the store does collect school supplies for those in need. All you need to do is…More »
29. SPCA Thrift Store
Who doesn't like helping the animals of the SPCA and this is a way to do it and get any retail therapy needs out. I also like to donate items that are sellable here.
I have found some cute outfits, books, bags and the like here. There's also the…More »
30. Lulu Island Winery
This is a supplement to my review about the rental. It's been just over a month and I emailed to confirm the rental information and apparently they do not rent out the facility any more. That is what I have been told anyway. I do find it kind of…More »

31. Lougheed Town Centre
Hmmmm, a mall, is a mall, is a mall. Honestly nothing jumps out at me when I think of Lougheed Mall except for the occasion stop to the WalMart or the Bay. Parking is a gong show but I can usually find something.
32. Nikaido Gifts
Richmond, BC V7E 3A4
(604) 275-0262
Category:
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Steveston
I can't go to Steveston and not visit Nikaido Gifts. It makes me want to open my own little shop like this in New West. They have a wide range of items but I am always going in for the variety of tea and tea accessories. They can be a bit pricey in…More »
33. Best Buy Canada Ltd
Best Buy can be both like a candy store and overwhelming when trying to decide what you need and what you can really do without lol.
The other day I was on a mission for the USB flash drive for wireless Internet and of course my copy of Glee Vol.2.…More »
34. London Drugs
This past weekend my fiance and I were looking for an inexpensive buffet for our dining room until we could save for one we really wanted and the London Drugs by our house had one we had liked. Unfortunately it was no longer in stock so off we went…More »
35. Roma Furniture
Stopped in here on my hunt for a buffet! The sign said sale so I had to see for myself. It wasn't much of a sale lol. Not in my price point anyway!
In I went and I must admit some of it was nice but a lot of it was gaudy looking. Maybe it's just…More »
36. Liquidation World
This place it hit or miss. You can find some good deals in here but there are moments where it is completely useless lol. The biggest problem I have had here is the service.
If you are looking for a deal it is at least worth the stop if you are in…More »
37. United Furniture Warehouse
On my search for a buffet (yes, I hit up a lot of stores lol) I decided to stop in here. I find the store very claustrophobic as they cram in a lot of items for the limited square footage.
The staff were very nice and friendly. I did feel a little…More »
38. Wal-Mart
This Wal-Mart always seems dirty and disorganized. It also seems to be out of a lot of items or they just don't carry much. I have been here a number of times and it never seems to have what I need.
The good thing about Wal-mart is that a lot of…More »
39. Target
Have been to a couple of Targets and this one is tiny in comparison. I didn't find anything I liked but really I was meandering anyway. It's always very clean in here though and the staff are friendly.
40. Moody Beads
I must say my last experience in here was not so good but I am a fan of second chances and when my Maid of Honor suggested I make my bridal jewelry I decided to sign up for a class at Moody Beads. I think that was the best idea ever! I called a…More »

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! |
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. |
