April 5, 2013 by Sonya

Waaaayyyy back during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September I had visited a few "gifting lounges" to the stars.

Probiotic means “for life”.

April 2, 2013 by Sonya

A few years ago I came down with a severe case of food poisoning. It took quite a few rounds of antibiotics and months of testing to get my intestines back to a safe zone. But it also took a couple of years to get my system back on track. Along side with my doctor's advice I also visited a … [Read more...]

Say YES to the Dress! Kleinfeld is coming!

March 26, 2013 by Sonya

When I got married 20 years ago, yeah, 20, girlfriend! -- there weren't too many options for bridal wear even in this big city.

Wondering what to do with the e-waste?

March 25, 2013 by Sonya

I've got an old laptop that was handed down by a neighbour who thought it would be perfect for my son to use for his homework. It's possibly 10 years old. It's heavy and it's S.L.O.W. We graciously accepted the offer as it was perfect first laptop for him. Then other people started offering their … [Read more...]
