Pretty Up Beads & Accessories Company

Categories: Arts & Crafts, Home Decor
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

1/29/2009

Pretty up beads has a nice collection of beads, from metallic, plastic and other fabrics and charms to all the colours of the rainbow. It's a cluttered, busy-and-beady environment, I really like it though. I don't make beads or wear beads, but I think for crafty people it could be really great. And the kids love it. The best part is that it's in a trendy part of town, so you can go out after and eat, drink and be merry.

Love love love love ..KINO!

The small intimate space is the best place for Friday night romps, tapas and a good time watching Flamenco dancers...I love the live guitars, beautiful costumes and energy of the clapping, buzz and colourful skirts that twirl around on the floor. The food is great too and the drinks are out of this world Sangria and Spanish-type of foods are also in abundance...I would go here for a first date or a later night drink. Sundays are great nights too!

Park Royal Medical Clinic

Category: Medical Clinics

1/29/2009 First to Review

This medical clinic is the best for walk-in appointments because it's open 9-9, everyday. The clinic is very full usually, but the doctors on call are very friendly and great at looking at you promptly. The space is small and crammed, sometimes crying kids play in the front which is a bit loud, but overall it's a place to go when all else fails. There are I think5 treatment rooms and it's a clean environment. There is also a TV, so you can watch something while you wait.

Ocean Walk Medical Centre

Neighbourhood: Ambleside

1/29/2009 First to Review

For emergencies, massages and a wlak-in clinic there is nothing cleaner than Ocean Walk. I've been here to get a massage and physiotherapy, my parents have their resident doctor here and it's usually very quick to get day of appointments. The next for pharmacy is perfect for getting all the prescriptions filled out that one needs.

Aarm Dental Group at Yaletown

Categories: General Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentists
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown

1/29/2009

I've been to Aarm twice now and have very great experiences both times. My doctor is very gentle and friendly and they have the best equipment to show you what's going on inside your mouth. The coolest thing is this machine that takes photos of your teeth and then highlights the work that needs to be done. I thought the dental hygenists were really great, I scored free floss, toothpaste and toothbrushes. It was spiffy.

Fletchers Fabricare

Category: Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

1/27/2009

How can you not LOVE drive-in dry-cleaning? I mean seriously...

I lived right beside this Arbutus institution and even if I didn't have dry-cleaning that day, I went and put something into dry-cleaning just so I could go here. It is not inexpensive, but you will never get your clothes ruined or shrunk or anything else odd that might happen if you take it to another dry-cleaner. For wedding dress recovery and preservation to extra-special care for those 1000 thread-count cotton sheets you have ...go no further than Fletchers.

Moda Hotel

Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District

1/27/2009

Good-bye old and dingy Dufferin Hotel and Welcome the new Mod-Moda Hotel. The perfect corner location is so pretty and now entices customers by having a cool bar and restaurant UVA and CIBO inside it. Originally built in 1957, now the new space has 57 rooms, flat screen TVs, sleek red walls and hardwood floors, great views of the Entertainment District. A perfect boutique package for the sassy in you.

Rokko Sarees & Fabrics

Categories: Fabric Stores, Fashion
Neighbourhood: Sunset

1/27/2009 1 photo

Sassy Sarees R Us! This gigantic showroom has 6,500 SQFT of fabrics in lush colours and designs, mostly from Indian inspired designs. Spread all over the store, the fabric could probably cover the Taj Mahal. They have ready-twear clothes as well, but the be-jewelled sarees are the prettiest. I can't believe the colours and selection here. As a wholesaler, it's also very affordable so it won't break the bank and allows room to make mistake in your design adventures.

This is a natural, earthy store that sells natural and earthy fabrics, yarns and yarns of the stuff. Mostly hemp materials and organic fabrics, if you're planning to start an eco-business this is for you. I believe they call it hemp twine. They also sell jewellery, beads and hemp and cedar rhythm racks. They're these cool storage type of wall-hangings. Give me an H for Hemp and holistic products!

The Loft

Loving the loft...where you can get retro outfits and meet some misfits...yeah! Remember your grannys closet? So unorganized, filled with stuff, coloured rows and rows and hangers and hangers of stuff? An expanison from Bohemia Gallery, you can buy t-shirts for cheapy-cheap as well as rent the room for parties, yogathons and whatever else funky and retros stirs up emotions in you.

Get me an Elvis tie now...!
