YUM! This is my new favourite sushi restaurant in North Vancouver. The quality of the food is excellent for the price you pay. My boyfriend and I went and split 3 special rolls, 1 tamago roll, 2 miso soup and 2 cans of coke for $30, including tax and tip! The rolls were fresh and delicious, and definitely well priced.
Unfortunately the quality of the service is something to be desired. Our waitress ignored us the whole meal except to order and refill our glasses. Our food took over half an hour, although there were 8 of us, the restaurant wasn't overall that busy. At the end she accused us of not paying for our soft drinks (I had the 2 on my bill...) and made a big fuss over it. I will definitely be back but perhaps will consider take-out for next time.

I got a free sample of these off Facebook and thought hey, why not? I am not absolutely in love with these. The scents are all amazing, and I find they freshen my clothes very well (I try to keep loads on the smaller side though). They are reasonably priced, with a decent size bag running at about $4.99 at my local Zellers. I wash all my laundry with these: towels, lights, darks, bedding, etc... and have always been satisfied with the cleaning power they've given me. Love my Tide Pods! -

Let me say - yummy!! I could not find this product anywhere in provincial liquor stores, so when I finally found it at a private store I decided to purchase it. It was a little on the procey side for Absolut - $33.80 - but I was excited to have finally found it. It seemed to be everywhere in the USA.
This liquor is wonderful for cocktails and martinis. I recommend making mixed drinks with guava juice or making my favourite drink, a "Voodoo". I have included the recipe below for all of you! I would definitely recommend adding this to your collection if you are a flavoured vodka fan!
Voodoo
Muddle 8 lime wedges and 12 fresh mint leaves in a cocktail shaker.
Add 8 ounces (1 cup) mango vodka and 8 ounces (1 cup) mango nectar.
Shake vigorously, and strain into 4 ice-filled glasses.
Top with club soda, and garnish with chopped fresh mint. Makes 4 servings.

I got this product on sale for $4.99 - a steal compared to the regular price ($10.99!). I was looking for a product to reduce frizziness in my hair which I highlighted this summer, and is naturally a bit frizzy as I am a hair dryer and straightening iron fiend (I know...). I was pretty happy with this product at first, but I noticed as the days went on I wasn't as pleased with the result. I use this shampoo between 2-3 days a week instead of 7 and find that it does make a difference. I have medium-thick hair and use my straightening iron almost every day.
I wouldn't recommend paying the full price for this product.

I have used other Crest Whitestrips in the past to no avail. I got these from Chick Advisor to try and was a bit skeptical at first. I took a before and after picture from the first day and was pleasantly surprised that these actually make a difference after one day! I will say they do make my teeth a bit sensitive, especially to hot food, which I've never experienced before. I would say I have very low sensitivity to cold food normally and these have not made any difference in that.
My one concern is the fact that these DO NOT stay in place for 2 hours! After half an hour they seem to get really loose and i have to constantly push them back down on my lower teeth. The fact they have to be on for 2 hours can be a bit of a nuisance but it is definitely worth it so far! I drink coffee/tea/soda on a regular basis and needed these. Other than that I'm super impressed and I will post before/after pictures after the 7 days.

This is the only lotion I will use! I use it daily after shower and especially after shaving which can make my legs dry. It's afforable and often comes with the repair cream for your hands which is also an awesome product. Good for daily usage as it comes in a huge bottle and you only need a little bit! -

First off, I am a big fan of coolers personally. I love to try all the new coolers the liquor stores put out in the summer months. While I sometimes find Mike's Hard Lemonade to be a little sweet, I loved the mango flavour. It puts a nice tropical twist on lemonade and is super refreshing on a hot day! Perfect for BBQ parties or sipping on your back deck. A must try for mango fans. -

I love my solid Scentsy perfume. This growing company makes such quality products, I find myself consistently impressed with what I order. This perfume cost me $21, and comes in different scents which are actually from their line of scentsy wax for home fragrances. The scent lasts all day which I love, I just wish it came in more scents so I could order more! I currently own Love Story - a fan favourite. -

I absolutely love my Scentsy, and am so glad I invested in it. They have a ton of scents to choose from as well as warmers, and make a beautiful gift and addition to any home. I personally love the Montauk warmer (blue with seashells) which I have in my room with my dark brown furniture. It looks beautiful! Would definitely recommend it to all of my friends and family. -

I am a fan of both dill pickle and sour cream and onion chips, yet was not a fan of these chips! They were on sale for $2.49 so I thought I'd give them a try but yuck! They are kettle cooked but ruffled so not the same as a traditional kettle cooked chip. Wouldn't recommend or put these out at a party but they might be a conversation topic for some! -
