Book reviews tend to be very opinionated. I wasn't really a fan of this one, and I am not a real fan of Margaret Atwood's writing style in general. I thought for the majority of the novel it was interesting leading up to a climax, though I found the ending was just disappointing.
I find that there are still many Atwood fans out there, I'm just not one of them.

I definitely agree with MizzRobin. They have very classy, elegant clothing here mixed in with trendyness. Although the styles also do target a more mature look. Perfect for work wear! And yes, it is more expensive but the materials are of higher quality. What I find more unique about the clothes is that the materials used vary, giving off different sophisticated looks. One thing I love here to is the service, especially in the change rooms. The person will check up on you from time to time to see what you are doing, and get you different sizes if you need them. -

I totally agree with lath0013. Future Shop is not a good place to shop for electronics! I think the worst thing is the exchange/return policy. For such a large company, you would think that they are more lenient with it. But if you have a gift receipt from a gift past due, they will not give you a refund. They wil give you a store credit and that expires in a month! And to even get that is a struggle, you have to talk to the manager for hours and work something out. Best Buy it uuupp! -

This is one of my favourite books. It's so romantic and beautifully written, a MUST read! I recommended this book to a few friends and they all loved it! What is suprising and amazing is how Arthur Golden writes so convincingly in first person about the life of a geisha. Read it, you won't be disappointed! -
Gap Heaven Eau de Toilette
I found this one to be quite strong and little overpowering! When sprayed on, the scent is reall potent and it stays that way for a really long time! Dream is the better one of the two.

One Step Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer in Cucumber Melon

I know many people avoid putting santizer on their hands (CRUCIAL DURING FLU SEASON) because they find it way too drying.
I think One Step (the small bottles with the scents) beats Purell any day! I have used and tried both of them. This one is moisturizing, and it does it really well. Coming from a girl who suffers extreme redness and dryness on the hands in the winter (which leads to cuts!), I think this one works quite well! It kills the bacteria on your hands, smells nice (and NOT like rubbing alcohol) and keeps them soft! I still recommend using hand cream after though. The price on the side here is an estimation, because I do not remember how much I paid for it exactly.
If you're buying sanitizer, One Step will kill the germs without stripping away the moisture!

Ralph Lauren Ralph Perfume

I am really not that big of a fan of perfume (I find that it can be so overpowering and so many people I know are allergic) so I really don't wear it or buy it often. Though Ralph by Ralph Lauren, is just such a delicious scent.
The smell lasts long, and it really isn't overpowering at all. Of course, every perfume will be if you spritz on too much. In fact, the worst thing is when people get so used to the scent that they spray on way too much and don't notice it anymore!
Ralph has a mixture of fruity and floral scent. It smells quite light, good for those people who want to have a scent, but are really sensitive to overpowering smells.
Tip: Try and store your scents away from the sun, in a cool, dark place (like a drawer). The heat from the sunlight alters the smell and expires it faster.
In the end perfume is really an individual thing. Everyone is going to have a different opinion on each scent. Take your pick, Ralph is mine!

The merchandising, shoe trends and prices in this store are great. Having to do merchandising before at an old store I used to work at, I can see how they make shopping fun and easily accessible, just in the way in which they display those lovely heels.
I like how I can find a range in heels here. Being a tall girl, wearing 5 inch heels would make me look like the CN Tower. I love how they have a range of high and low heels for everyone. The prices are quite nice as well. The lastest in shoe styles come at less than steep prices. The same goes for the boots.
The service of the staff I find really depends on who is helping you. But overall, I think they are quite helpful.
One thing I love as well are their purses. I bought a nice, trendy purse for my mother on Christmas and she loves it!
Their AIDS campaign has brought much awareness to the issue. I see billboards and advertisements all the time, and they are quite effective.

I rate pens and markers because I am an artist and a nerdy student 8-). The reason I rated this pen was because it not really marketed to artists/designers as much but as a multi-use permanent black marker/pen for everyone (like a Sharpie).
I hate to say this, but Faber-Castell was really disappointing this time around. The Muiltimark 1513 is suppose to write on everything - from CDs (plastic) to glass to metal. It comes with a green eraser too at the end that is suppose to erase it if you make a mistake. Who thought anyone could ever erase permanent black ink!? Well, it doesn't work. And it dried out way too quicky. I only had this one for a few months. The ink flows out dry and irregular instead of smooth and precise.
I went to a Faber-Castell supplier show (when I used to work at an art store) and they were making a big deal out of this new product. Well, it sucks.
Not recommended. For anyone.

I got this free in a box of granola bars (a little strange I know) but I think I will continue to buy it when I use it all up. It has a nice, smooth texture and leaves a nice tingling feeling to the lips. It does not feel cakey or waxy at all, and it feels very light. I also like how it has an SPF. The berry smell is a little medicine-y, but in a good way. I find that it leaves the skin on my lips really soft and smooth!
The only thing about this product that because it goes on so smooth, you might have to re-apply it more.
