I love this product!! Uncle Ben's Fast & Fancy Rice Dishes are convenient, affordably priced and delicious! I usually purchase them in bulk from No Frills when they go on sale for 98 cents...I literally have a pantry full of them.
They are very easy to prepare - you add the rice, seasoning pouch and a spoonful of butter to water. Cook on the stove for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncle Ben's Fast & Fancy Rice Dishes come in nine delicious flavours - my favourites are Garden Vegetable, Chinese Fried Rice and Fine Herb & Wild. We usually pair this with sweet and sour chicken, cantonese chow mein, grilled chicken, and even with tacos/fajitas!
Fast, affordable and convenient! If you are looking for a great side addition to a meal, I recommend Uncle Ben's Fast & Fancy Rice Dishes!

I have a tendency to have dry lips in the winter and summer months and was very pleased with The Body Shop Lip Scuff! It is packaged like a lip balm/stick but has a gritty texture that acts as an exfoliant! As you gently rub it across your lips, it removes dry skin and smooths them. It has a nice minty scent that I appreciate, not overpowering.
Would recommend for those suffering from dry lips!

I LOVE SANDWICH BOX!!! I love creating my own made-to-order sandwich. You get to pick each part of the sandwich - the bread, spread, meat and combination of 3 high quality toppings. I love the Roasted Garlic Aioli spread; Avocado & Chipotle Mayo spread; Roasted Vegetables; Caramelized Onions; and high quality toppings (e.g., sundried tomatoes, roasted garlic, quinoa, cheeses, etc...). Your sandwich box costs $9.50 and it comes with your own personalized sandwich and side salad. You can also create your own made-to-order salads with fresh vegetables, lettuce, proteins and gourmet dressings. Great to go to when you need a healthy, delicious option with high-quality ingredients!! -

I would recommend Second Cup! I prefer Second Cup over Starbucks because they offer more beverage options that don't contain coffee. These include a wide variety of teas, hot chocolate, frozen hot chocolate, chillers, Italian sodas, and lemonades! They have also started offering more dessert and food options (e.g., delicious cupcakes, cookies, brownies, grilled sandwiches, grilled pitas). Recently, I have been enjoying the Caramel Corretto! The service is usually pretty good, although sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for your drink to be made!
The one thing I would recommend is that they lower their prices - Tim Horton's is much more affordable, although they don't have as many options to chose from!

I would not recommend Denny's Restaurant! I have been there a few times at both Mississauga and Niagara Falls locations. The last time I attended the Niagara Falls location, I was literally served rotten fruit. The grapes that were served with my brunch had white/green mold on them. Disgusting, considering I had eaten the grapes on top of the mold. Makes me question the conditions of the kitchen and the freshness of the rest of the food I was served.
WHAT IS WORSE - after bringing it to our waiter's attention, they did not even offer to replace the fruit or compensate us for our meal! Both quality of food and service are sub-par - not worth your time! Go to IHOP!

I visited 5 Guys Burgers and Fries in Etobicoke on North Queen, near Sherway Gardens Mall. I ordered a pop, burger and fries! My fries were fresh and seasoned with a variety of spices. I liked that they displayed the location of the place where the potatoes were purcahsed - quite interesting, if it's accurate! The burger was just alright, sort of ended up tasting a bit soggy.
I would say that all in all, it was average. The wait time was a bit long - about 15 minutes, which might account for the sogginess of my burger!

Spin Dessert Cafe is one of the few go-to dessert cafes in Etobicoke! They have a variety of cakes, cupcakes, pies, fondue, and waffles/crepes to indulge in! They have a variety of fresh delicious ice cream flavours and toppings to choose from! As well, they even have a brunch, lunch and dinner menu for savoury delights! If you are not interested in dessert, they have a variety of coffee, organic teas, hot chocolates, and frozen iced drinks!
I also like that they have a section in their menu called "This Month's Feature." They have a variety of desserts only available for the month (limited time), usually based around the holidays or theme of the month.
A word of warning - it is very busy on Friday and Saturday nights, and seating is limited. Be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes!

Demetres is one of the few Etobicoke go-to spots for dessert. This makes it busy on Friday and Saturday nights as seating is limited! I love the menu options - cakes, pies, waffles/crepes and sundaes! They have a variety of fresh, creamy ice cream flavours and toppings to choose from. If you are looking for a drink, they have a variety of frozen, blended drinks, coffees, organic teas to choose from!
One suggestion I have for this location is that they more frequently monitor and clean the bathrooms. They are not always as cleanly as they should be!

I was gifted the Twilight Woods Body Lotion from Bath & Body Works for Christmas! I usually apply the lotion after a shower and frequently use it to soothe/moisturize my dry hands! The cream makes my skin feel soft and hydrated, due to the shea butter and vitamin E. I love the scent that lingers on my hands as I also use the Twilight Woods Body Spray as a perfume! I suppose some people might prefer a lighter scent on their hands, but I don't mind as this is also the scent of my perfume! :) -
