Recently my family had the pleasure of visiting Ripley’s Aquarium and were we ever blown away! It was a fantastic underwater adventure that I’d recommend to anyone young or old.
Ripley’s Aquarium has 16,000 aquatic animals (Yes, 16,000!!!) and features North America’s longest underwater viewing tunnel. You’ll be able to get up close and personal with 3 touch exhibits featuring horseshoe crabs, sharks, and rays as well as a daily dive shows every 2 hours. Watching the employee dive into the tank with a huge piece of bok choy to feed the fish was quite amazing. My husband was impressed at how much the fish loved the bok choy since he’s not a fan ;)
Be absolutely certain to bring your camera. It’ll get a work out! Overall I was surprised to see such beautiful underwater creatures. What stunning creations!! Getting to pet a shark was pretty cool too.
My kids had a ball … even my youngest who usually complains about any long walks was jumping and running around like a little maniac! Not a single complaint!! And I mean honestly how could a kid complain when there’s this awesome playground 1/2 way through the experience?!

Whenever I mention PF Chang’s in conversation people often reply that when they’re cross-border shopping they love to drop in for a great meal. Funny enough most people don’t realize there is a location right in the GTA! It is located at the uber chic Shops At Don Mills in Toronto and it’s one my families absolute favorite places to visit.
The interior: It’s modern but still warm!
But in reality the main reason we frequent PF Chang’s is that although they have quite an extensive regular menu, they also offer a fantastic Gluten Free Menu. You know when you just want a great Chinese Food meal and everything in the mall is covered in gluten? (never mind grease) … This is your solution!! The absolute best part is the fact that they have a dedicated Gluten Free Kitchen so there is no risk of cross-contamination. If that isn’t enough they also use special dishes to help you identify “regular” food vs gluten free food. Peace-of-mind like no other!! My 2 favorite dishes hands-down are the Chang’s Spicy Chicken and the Chicken Fried Rice. I mean realistically if I could afford it I’d eat them on a weekly basis no problem. The food is served family-style so the dishes are meant to be shared. My kids love this because it’s just like home and they can try more than one thing.
At this point in the blog I have to be 100% honest with you my readers. The first time we discovered PF Chang’s on a weekend getaway to Buffalo … we ate there for lunch, then dinner and then lunch the next day. *ahem* It was honestly THAT GOOD.
So IF by some crazy chance your mouth isn’t watering yet I have one last selling point – right next door? Yeah, it’s Anthropologie. Take that every other restaurant in town!

I am very petite, 5"2' and a size 0 and Banana Republic is one of the very few stores that really caters to petites. Although it is pricey, I don't have to ever add the cost of tailoring to make an item fit properly. Plus if you wait for a sale or visit the factory stores you can always score a steal of a deal!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite stores!

I must say I am very impressed with the Clarisonic Mia 2! This is definitely a splurge item, and not something I would've usually purchased for myself ... but with the harsh winter weather, and some aging combined (*cry) it was about time to try something new.
My skin feels so soft and my pores look great! I had heard amazing things about the Clarisonic Mia 2 and everyone was correct. It is well worth the price!
I also LOVE the bold color choices. Way to make cleansing your face more fun!!
