The service was pretty good. The staff were pretty quick in serving and were very friendly. I cannot say much about the cost however, I have not been here for any other function other than the ShopCrawl. I enjoyed the pizzas here and the fruit skewers were nice. I will probably come back here another time. -

I really enjoyed having the chance to browse around Lilliput Hats at the ShopCrawl. They have many beautiful, fashionable hats that handmade and gorgeous.
The only thing that did not work out for me so much was many of the hats were too small for my head. I wish they made hats in bigger sizes. Other than that, this is a great store for hat shopping!

I am conflicted with this product, because I find that it CAN work well.. only you have to a lot for it to actually work. I have had some good days with it, and some that were not so great.
What I did not like was mid-day my hair looked dirty again. It's suppose to make it look as if you just washed your hair! I also wasn't a huge fan of the smell.
I won't buy this product.. only because it is costly and doesn't always live up to its claim. I think that there are cheaper products on the market that are more consistent and will give you better results.

This is a great product. It smells amazing and it left my skin soft and smooth. Although I do not usually wear any perfume, I think MizzRobin's point about how it does not conflict with your perfume is a great bonus. It is also great for those cold, sad winter days because of the smell and the moisture.
I would buy this again.

As an artist I understand the importance of having good quality brushes. This also applies to brushes for make-up application. The bristles are soft and allow for a smooth application. I like the brush much more than using my fingers because you don't put more oil on your face (from your fingertips) and with a brush it is easier to apply less product over a wider area, so you save more of the foundation in the bottle.
This brush is high quality and well worth it. I like how with a brush you can control the amount of product you want by using different brush techniques. This is super important because the amount of foundation you wear is determined by the event (ex. wedding vs the everyday make up), and the amount you put on can be controlled by a high quality brush like this one.
A brush makes perfect sense because sponges absorb much of the product and are bad for the environment. After using this brush for a few weeks, I have a difficult time going back to using sponges and my fingertips!

I absolutely agree with MizzRobin as we both entered the store in West Edmonton Mall the day it opened. What I love about BBW is that their products feel like a true indulgence but they won't create a hole in your wallet. They usually have specials like buy one product, get the other 50% off and the like. They carry a wide range of delicious smelling scented lotions and body washes. I love this store and I will definitely be back again soon!
This is also a great gift store. Whether or not you are looking to buy a gift for someone you do not really know that well or for your best friend, it is not difficult to find a gift for anyone.

Thanks MizzRobin for valuing my thoughts about One Tooth!
I agree, when I first walked in, I was also quite confused because many of the clothes are very similar to that of lululemon. Nonetheless, what drew me in was that they did have some designs that I hadn't seen before in a lululemon store.
The clothes are much cheaper. However I do agree in that there are several pieces of clothing that are too similar to their design. This is a great fitness apparel store for those who are on a budget and those who want to try a yoga clothes that are not the lulu brand.
Because they do not have the same fabric qualities of lulu, I am curious to see how long they will last me. A few sweaty workouts and hardcore yoga sessions and I will update my review on how well it lasts, so stay tuned!

I had first heard about Lotuswear on the Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp on the Slice channel. In most of the episodes, the participants would be working out in Lotuswear clothing. I researched the line to see where I could find it. I discovered that sadly it was only available in B.C. (at the time -- now they have a store in Calgary) -- I live in the eastern part of Canada.
On a recent trip to B.C., I made sure that I made a pit stop into Lotuswear. I was quite impressed with the array of yoga attire they carried, all very well made and stylish. I especially like their tank tops -- many of them are beautifully designed with straps that criss-cross along the back. I found that they feature a wide variety of clothes that comes in bright, yummy colours. What I especially like about the Lotuswear line is that they are environmentally concious company. Many of their clothes are made with organic or sustainable fabrics that are not harmful for the environment.
I cannot wait for this store to come to Toronto (if it ever does). But in the meantime, I will continue to shop there whenever I visit the west coast!

I walked into Ruby Tuesday with MizzRobin and I totally agree. There are so many accessories you can find in this little store in the Whistler Village. Most of the their earrings are sterling silver -- great if you are allergic to nickel and other metals like myself.
This is a great store if you are looking to find a gift for someone or for yourself! All of jewelery is trendy and super-cute.
When I go back to the Whistler Village, I am definitely going back to Ruby Tuesday!

Flavour is a vintage clothing store on Johnson St. in Victoria, B.C. A few friends and I wandered into here after it was recommended to me by another friend.
The store has many t-shirts from threadless.com (where artists send their t-shirt designs to the website and people buy them). Most of the t-shirts are hilarious! And not to mention, very unique. If I lived in Victoria and did not want to pay shipping costs for ordering the threadless t's online, I would definitely buy them at this store.
They also have plenty of nice day dresses, pants, tights, shirts, sweaters -- but they are all things that you would not find in a regular clothing store. I found that each piece was authentic on its own. Not to mention, the prices are very affordable. I understood why the store attracts a younger crowd.
This is definitely a store I would go to to find something unique and fun to spice up my wardrobe.
