If ever there was a music store amusement park, this might be it!

This is the review from a tattoo n00b! I shall refrain from such terms as "ink" or "tatts". This is something I've learned.

So, I'm someone who was thinking of getting a tattoo for perhaps two years - one and a half on deciding what to get and six…More »

Now, seriously - am I just throwing the word…More »

How is it possible to give a place whose business is ripping hair out of various parts of your body a 5-star rating? If anything, I think there should be an automatic deduction for said hair rippage.

But here we are... 5 stars, a good as it gets.

I think Ariel from Disney's The LIttle Mermaid once sang:

I discovered this gem while researching venues for Cupcake Camp which took place in late January. Trying to look for alternatives to downtown community centres which were too rich for my blood, I took to looking at dance studios. Though Labspace…More »

Recently updated lists from Michelle V.

Woodbine and Danforth - Yup, it's worth visiting... (8)

It might not be a neighbourhood that's bursting with trendy retail flavour but it still has a lot to offer.

The Great Dessert Seduction (9)

Places to get your sweet on.

[Warning: one place mentioned on this list is located in Thunder Bay, ON]

Cup O'Cake (5)

The idea of this list is to [hopefully] expand it as I discover more list-worthy cupcakes since I don't normally go out and buy them. But I need to provide a brief explanation for Sweet Tooth. It's the Chocolate Raspberry cupcake alone that earned its spot. So moist and delicious and imagine if I went when they were fresh!

If You Took Me To These Places, I Might Make Out With You (9)

Why I Miss Living Closer to the Beach Area (4)

Why I Should Be Living in Leslieville (4)

Whether it's food, clothing or more food, these are the places I must hit up when I'm in the area.
