The Pleasantly Surprising 2014 Nissan Versa Note

January 9, 2014 by Kath 10 Comments

With a marketing line like "your door to more", the 2014 Nissan Versa Note is a small car with a rather big claim to live up to. I'll admit it - I was a tiny bit skeptical when I picked up this car. After all, its sticker price is below $20,000 ($18,680 for the model I drove) and that usually … [Read more...]

RESTO REVIEW: Destingo Modern Italian Kitchen

December 19, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

It's been a busy few weeks here in the city with all the get togethers. I swear my diet will start after the holidays! My good friend Katya and I have had our social calendars mash up a few times. But Katya and I love to linger when we are out and we try to find time to rest our heels in between … [Read more...]

An Infiniti of Summer Days

September 12, 2013 by Kath 9 Comments

I'm missing summer. Hard. What with the back-to-school and the back-to-work and omigod the tired - I'm looking back on the lazy, hazy days with some serious summer-envy. It seemed to me then like an infinity of days filled with nothing more (or less) than … [Read more...]

Music Review – The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream

August 15, 2013 by Katya 3 Comments

Even before The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream starts, you know it's going to be different, because the ubiquitous voice you hear in a theatre that normally says you need to turn off your cell says this: “You may leave your cell phones on, take pictures, tweet them, Facebook them...in fact...do … [Read more...]

Beauty Review: Garnier brings the Dark Spot Treatment Mask to Canada

July 29, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

It's no secret that the Asian market is a few years ahead when it comes to the advancement of beauty technology. The explosion of BB creams started years ago in Asia before it gained mass popularity here in North America. Now every company seems to have some version of it at varying price points. … [Read more...]

Philosophy: It’s About Time

July 11, 2013 by Sonya 3 Comments

How much time do you spend each day dealing with skin care? I had bad skin as a teenager and it continued into adulthood. It took me a while to understand how to take care of my skin. Now in my mid-40s I've noticed significant change in how my skin looks and feels. All that stuff you read in … [Read more...]

Wine Wednesday

July 5, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

It was a hot summer night with that kind of humidity that makes you feel like you're in Jamaica. That kind of weather that gives everyone a glow. But it makes everyone happy. We don't get summer for too long so we take what we can get. I entered the hotel lobby  and  spotted a familiar face. I give … [Read more...]

Nailing Easy Summer Style

July 3, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Summer is so easy. We are on the go with pool parties and BBQ get-togethers all season long and love it. As Canadians we gotta embrace the short summer months, right? And we're pretty chill about it. I love the long hot summer weekends of relaxing and just chatting away with nice icy cold bevvy in … [Read more...]

Humidity and keeping the shine away. Ugh.

June 4, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I truly understand when people talk about dry heat versus what we get here in Toronto. We've just had our first heat advisory of the year (yeah, finally). Remember? We go from cold to hot in a nano second. A couple weeks ago I was in Palm Springs, California. It was hot... like 100 degrees hot. But … [Read more...]
