I tuned into Food Network Canada last night at 10 PM Eastern, expecting to see Chopped Canada. Instead, I got Restaurant Takeover, which, according to Twitter, aired earlier in the week. Boy, were people on Twitter upset! #choppedcanada was filled with Tweets joking that Shaw (the company that runs Food Network Canada) had chopped Chopped […]
Seriously, that’s what my husband and I overheard a guy say the first time we went back in October. And I guess to a certain extent, he’s right – high ceilings, light-coloured walls and definitely, a very modern vibe. Located at the former home of the Cumberland Theatre, the shop and café (called the Nespresso […]
I constantly read in retail-related blogs about the “lack of availability” in Canada when it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories. And honestly, I can’t say I understand what they’re talking about. Sure, there are stores that aren’t widely available in Canada, but that’s changing. J.Crew and LOFT, for example, have been opening […]
I’ve always had a problem with body image activists (so much that one particular organization has banned me from commenting on their Facebook page). Sure, they mean good by encouraging more size diversity in fashion, but are their campaigns healthy? Or are they just as bad as having too many tall, thin, blonds? Balance is […]
I don’t usually talk about reality shows, but I have to admit that I LOVE Chopped. The premise of the show features four professional chefs who have to use very “interesting” items to prepare meals that are judged by a panel of celebrity chefs. The show starts with four contestants, and after each course (appetizer, […]
So Brad turned 50 recently, according to IMDB. However, despite being well into middle age, he still gives off a very immature vibe at times, especially when it comes to his looks. In many public appearances, he just seems…sloppy. I know that he and Angelina have several young children, but it doesn’t mean that he […]
It’s New Year’s Eve today, but I won’t be heading out to a party. In fact, I haven’t gone to one in years. Instead, my husband and I will be relaxing at home. Am I a party pooper? No. I just don’t feel like dressing up and heading out on a night that is probably […]
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Sean Clark, founder of Vancouver-based online shopping destination, shoeme.ca. This online store carries shoes for men, women as well as kids in a variety of different styles, with brands such as NineWest, Jessica Simpson, Clarks and more – very “standard” affordable mall brands for the most part […]
Destingo Kitchen and Bar is one of the latest restaurant to open in the Queen and Bathurst area. Located in a former furniture and decor shop, this new restaurant has a fairly standard menu that one finds in modern, mid-priced Italian restaurants, with pastas, panini and delicious mains and starters. At my recent visit, which […]
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to have dinner at Trinity Taverna, a modern-style Greek restaurant located in the Beach(es) area of Toronto, courtesy of Faulhaber PR. The restaurant is located in what was formerly known as the Boardwalk Pub, and was developed by Peter Morentzos, known for Montreal-based eateries such as La […]
