Honestly, Head and Shoulders is tried and true for me. It does help get rid of dandruff, and because I have black hair dandruff tends to stand out against my haircolour. I know there are other dandruff hair shampoos and conditioners out there (I'm pretty sure Fructis has some) but this one is great. And it's mild, as in, it doesn't smell that bad. :) -

I'm still pretty young(under 30), but I tend to have undereye wear and tear on my face. One morning I woke up and I totally looked insane...so I decided to get Frownies under eye patches. Basically you put them under your eyes - they're little stickies/adhesives - and leave them there overnight. I don't know if it was just me, but I found that they didn't do too much. Probably because I'm still pretty young. I'm assuming that if I had more wrinkles and shadows under my eyes, that these might help. So I definitely wouldn't buy them again. Not for another 10 years, anyway! -
Ted Gibson Professional Flat Iron
Ted Gibson is the guy who does hair on TLC's Not What To Wear. I ordered it online and it's the best flat iron I've ever used.

I used this fragrance all throughout my teenage years, from grade eight up until high school (and I think even a little in university). All I can say is, I'm officially over fragrances. Offices really dislike people wearing perfume, and so do people in restaurants, malls, etc. When I do rarely use fragrances, I usually get a subtle rollon one that's very light.
This was a great scent and is still a classic, but I had worn this scent for a long time - pretty sure it's time for me to move on. No one should wear the same scent their whole lives....should they?

I love their gelato. They have awesome flavours, and the ice cream really fills you up even though it looks like a small portion in the cup! I love their Tahitian Vanilla flavour. You can also mix and match, and get two flavours in one cup. The neighbourhood it's located in is great for walking on a nice summer afternoon, too. -
Mama Mio Shrink To Fit Cream
I bought the Shrink to Fit Cream off ebeauty.ca (http://www.ebeauty.ca/Mama-Mio/Firming-Cellulite-Treatments/Mama-Mio-ZAP-Shrink-To-Fit-Cream/pages/productdetails?nav=R:951530). It's supposed to get rid of cellulite. I'm of average weight... +

It's supposed to get rid of cellulite. I'm of average weight, but I still have cellulite on my upper (and even lower) thighs. Sometimes even on the area around my stomach. I noticed a bit of difference at first; I felt like any moisturizing cream would help reduce the look of cellulite because it makes the skin look smoother. But this one really did help, and it smells delish too. -
Magnolia Bakery - Bleecker Street
Pretty delicious cupcakes - I got chocolate iced cupcakes with sprinkles on them. But I heard "Crumbs" in New York City is better - apparently Crumbs has yummy treats inside the middle of their cupcakes!

I used to go to the one in Ottawa, back when there were no locations in Toronto. It was AWESOME - really big portions, and absolutely delicious. I don't know if the Toronto ones are worse, but I've been to the ones in Ontario and they weren't as big portions. I still LOVE IT though - try their raspberry cream crepe, it's so delicious! Their food tastes so delectable and fresh, and they almost always have extremely fresh fruits like pineapples, melon, strawberries and grapes. Yum yum yum, in my tum. -
Spring Rolls - Dundas West
I honestly don't get what the big deal about this place is. It has great interior design, and big portions - but the food is not worth it AT ALL. It tastes very bland and I don't even eat half of my plate because I feel sick of it afterward... +

I bought this off ebeauty.ca because for the looooongest time I keep reading about this makeup sponge in magazines and stuff - Kim Kardashian apparently uses it and we all know how much she cakes on the makeup - and it was free shipping anyway (plus the brand's website is more expensive - 26 bucks). I used the sponge to apply my liquid foundation and it worked pretty well. It's WAY better than using those dingy sponge applicators that you buy in bulk packages at Shoppers, because those are too small, the makeup always gets on my hands, and you have to throw them out after a couple uses anyway.
Anyway, I like that it's latex-free, and it doesn't smell or anything like that. I also tried it with my MAC Studio Fix powder foundation and it worked pretty good too. I love that I can use it for either wet or dry foundation. You can wash it, but I'm worried that after a couple months it might not be as durable anymore. So here's hoping it doesn't fall apart! Doesn't seem like it will, but I paid good money for it so fingers are crossed. :)
