Infused Oils and Vinegars and Other Delicious Food Show Faves

This year was my second time at the Delicious Food Show where many food-related brands, ranging from restaurants to food trucks and brands big and exhibited their wares for the public.  I was able to taste items from many of the exhibitors, ranging from some favourite restaurants like Tabülè (they were sampling various dips and […]

Highlights from Operanation 2014

The 11th Operanation was held at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on Queen and University Thursday evening.  With performances by French band Yelle, as well as Ensemble Studio singers and much more, including food stations, which, in my opinion, is probably one of the best things about Operanation besides the live performance.  […]

Magic Oven: A DelectablyChic! Toronto Fave

It’s not hard to admit that Toronto has a love affair with pizza, especially thin crust pizza.  However, most pizza places offer the same old choices, and usually not vegan or gluten-intolerant friendly.  This is NOT the case with Magic Oven, which boasts five locations across the 416.  Visit the restaurant’s website and you will […]

CBD: Custom Furniture for Spaces of All Sizes

I recently had the chance to visit a new furniture boutique, CBD Co., located on King and Jarvis in Toronto.  While there are plenty of furniture stores along the King East and Jarvis area selling pieces for smaller spaces, many seem to cater to a funky, more “hipster” crowd.  However, CBD is a bit more […]

Some Geox Wish List Items Fall 2014

Before this past summer, I never really considered the GEOX brand!  I don’t know why I never thought of them – perhaps it was because never really promoted in the petite blogging community, despite offering smaller sizes in their basics (they go down to size 4 for many styles) – but I’m glad I did.  […]

My Plans for a Smaller Thanksgiving Dinner

It’ll just be my husband, my parents and me for Thanksgiving this year, so there won’t be a huge turkey with all the fixings.  Instead, I’ll be serving turkey breast, which I did two years ago for a smaller gathering.  What’s the point of ordering a whole turkey when there’s only four?  Sure, I could […]
