XOXOLAT - for the love of chocolate
This is a lovely artisan chocolate shop but it has now recently moved from the Burrard st location. I saw it recently but can't remember the new location. I'll post it soon for all those chocoholics.

I don't have kids but when I'm getting gifts for friend's babies or kids, I always find something nice here. The quality is good, nice selection of interesting and trendy clothes and at various locations I found the staff friendly, not pushy and helpful. I'd recommend it. -

I have a few lulu pants and the one thing about their brand is that they generally look flattering on most women regardless of their body shape and size. My peeve is that their quality has really gone downhill over the years and one of my male friends also found that to be true with the men's line. Their now overpriced for the quality they are producing. The still have nice styles but I haven't purchased any for the last 2 yrs. -
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
The nice thing about Clinique is that they regularly have specials where you can try a few products of their line. My mom has used this for many years and her skin looks fantastic (she's a senior). I've used this moisturizing lotion off an on over... +
The nice thing about Clinique is that they regularly have specials where you can try a few products of their line. My mom has used this for many years and her skin looks fantastic (she's a senior). I've used this moisturizing lotion off an on over the years and find it's good value for the money, has a nice light texture without any overbearing fragrance and is quite gentle on the skin. I would recommend it as I think it would be suitable for most skin types. -

Metrotown Mall is a massive shopping mall in Burnaby, British Columbia. They have expanded with a greater variety of stores and updated their food court. It's conveniently located on the skytrain route with its own station and there is lots of parking. You can find everything here and the prices are often better than in downtown Vancouver. Additionally, there is an asian supermarket T&T;. -

This is a good inexpensive cleanser for sensitive skin. I used this for a few yrs without breakout or skin dryness, I have sensitive skin and have had reactions to various cleansers. These days I try and use cleansers from the healthfood stores, but I would use this in a pinch and would recommend this to others who have sensitive skin. -
Breyers Double Churn Vanilla Frozen Dessert
Breyer's Vanilla original is awesome, but I don't like any of their double churned products. Too airy and soft. They're making a higher profit margin for this double churning, I prefer the rich, luxurious vanilla taste of the original.

Greens has been around many years and it definitely works for some, but not for everyone. Some people get stomach upset and for me it has too many different things in the formula. I prefer taking spirulina on it's own and various supplements or nutritious foods, and smoothies etc. When I've used it in the past, it didn't agree with me. -
Stayfree
Comfortable, absorbs well and the bonus feature of the wings. What I use most of the time since organic pads still haven't come up with the absorbancy and wings on their products.

Febreze NOTICEables Dual Scented Pluggable Air Freshener in Morning Walk & Cleansing Rain

Sorry, I think we're a society getting way too swayed by the marketing of these artificial, sickly sweet smells. I know someone who got quite sick for a week after she had the plugin in her home. When I've used the febreze swiffer mop pads I'd be sneezing. No thanks. -
