not a big fan of Danier, here's why:
1. Bought a purse for > $100. The lining ripped within the first week. Exchanged for a new one (thankfully with no problems, they were pretty helpful), that one also ripped within the first couple weeks.
2. Bought a laptop bag for $120. The stitches started coming off within the first few weeks. Exchanged for a new one - same thing happened. After a couple months of use, the handles broke. Instead of giving it back to them to fix, I gave it to my shoe repair guy who did a fantastic job with less stress.
3. Bought leather gloves. The knit lining broke on the 3rd day. Returned the gloves and never buying anything from them again even with deep discounts - not worth the stress
The customer service is pretty good though, but without a good quality product it is a waste

Got this product in the hopes of strengthening my nails, but in fact it did the exact opposite. After just 1 use, my nails started peeling, chipping and breaking. I used the same nail polish as I always did before using Sally Hanses nail strengthener, and it was fine before - so I know it is not the strengthener's fault. My sister also told me she was taking a break from manicures as her nails were peeling - and she was using this product. Do not recommend this at all -

So I am obsessed with this cereal - I eat it for breakfast and for late night snack and crave it throughout the day. It is sweet enough to satisfy the sweet craving and yet not too sweet to feel guilty about it. The almonds add the extra protein and a bowl of this cereal with milk is enough to make me last until lunch with no snacking. For extra fiber, I mix in a little bit of fiber cereal, like Fiber One.
I feel like 5.29 is a little pricey for a cereal, so whenever it goes on sale for 3.99 - I stock up. And then it is worth every penny :D

I never had tea there for dine-in or take-out - I just bought loose tea to make at home. You can just stand in the store for an hour smelling all types of tea trying to decide, and the customer service people will not get irritated - they are happy to help you pick out the best tea. I've tried a lot of dirrenet kinds but my favourites so far are White Tiger (organic white tea mixture) and Turkish Delight (black tea with fruit, seeds, and nuts - very nice on a cold winter night) -
Neutrogena All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Lotion

Out of the drug store brands - this is my favourite one. It is a gentle lotion that is very effective - you do not need to rub or scrub.
This stuff is always on sale somewhere - Shoppers, Rexal, Wal-mart - so you can get very good deals and it lasts forever as you only need a very small amount for each use.
Tip:
Use a small amount on a cotton pad - and spread it out first so it absorbs a little bit in the pad.
For heavy makeup you might need to use it - then rinse your eyes with water - and then use it again on a fresh cotton pad to wipe off the leftovers.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)

I actually enjoyed the movie. Apart from all the cheese described in the previos review, I thought the director used some clever tricks and metaphores - i.e. bubbles flying away and some of them popping, the skyline aka graphs, the devil eating itself painting. I thought the movie, and especially the speech that Michael Douglas's gave on greed, made sense in light of the recent financial crisis. Good timing for this movie - if there wasn't a crisis - then all the cheese would have been much more evident and nauseating -

This place has the most amazing raviolli in Toronto - I go back every couple months. Located near Yonge & Eglington, the restaurant is cozy and comfortable for a relaxing conversation with friends/date. My favourites on the menu are mussles and grilled calamari for apps, and raviolli poulet for the mains. With a bottle of wine, appetizer, main course and desert, the dinner comes to around $120 for two, tip and tax included. -

I love Nivea Essential care product, so when I could not find it in the store, I decided that by extension I would love this one too. I was unpleasantly surprised - the testure is all weird, the application is inconvenient - have to get my fingers dirty with it or try to awkwardly apply it directly to my lips. It tastes disgusting - like eating a piece of soap - so I feel the urgent need to wipe it off my lips. I dont think it is effective either - after about 10 minutes my lips feel all dry again. Would not recomment this product at all. -
NIVEA Happy Time Shower Cream
It smells great and hydrates my skin well - I have dry skin and it feels comfortable all day without applying any lotion after use. Love it.

Blowfish Restaurant and Sake Bar

Convenient location - near the King West clubs and lounges. First time I went there was August 2009. Since then, I've been back at least 3 times. The food is funky - depends on what you order it might make it or break it for you. My favorites: a la carte sushi (GREAT quality sushi), black & orange roll, blue snow roll, and kiwi lobster roll. From drinks: Lychee Passion martini. My only no-no is that they charged us for my birthday desert (made a combo of several deserts which cost us $22!!. When I told the manager after - I got complimentary birthday shots. Yumm -
