The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
I honestly I don’t think I was prepared for just HOW QUIRKY it was going to be. Don Tillman reminded me so much of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Not the easiest person in the world to date! After the first few chapters I was somewhere... +
I honestly I don’t think I was prepared for just HOW QUIRKY it was going to be. Don Tillman reminded me so much of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Not the easiest person in the world to date!
After the first few chapters I was somewhere between scratching my head wondering why I was reading about this odd little man and smiling like a fool because it was hilarious.
Everyone who heard I was reading The Rosie Project had the same reaction: “YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE DON TILLMAN” and boy were they right! As the story continued I found myself in a mix between face palming at his behavior and his perfect ability to kill a moment and simply cheering him on, just hoping he’d figure it all out.
I would definitely recommend this book if you’re in the market for some good laughs, a few cringe-worthy moments and an overall good time. The ending was a bit abrupt for my liking but I hear rumors there is going to be a follow-up book and I’ll be first in line to pick up my copy when/if the time comes!

GOSH Eye Brow Pencil
Although I have thick brows and don't need a brow pencil I did think this could work well for those who do need it! Well priced as are all gosh cosmetics.

GOSH Mineral Powder
I was sent this item for free as a part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. Personally I don't use mineral powder very often, it's not a part of my every day routine. It did work well for the price but this one isn't really for me!

GOSH Lip Lacquer
I love that this looks like a nailpolish. The packaging is so unique and easy to throw into your small make up bag. The Argan oil and Vitamin E help keep your lips feeling soft. The shades keep you looking trendy & fresh!

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 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!!

Having grown up with grandparents from the middle east I am a true lover of hummus – and I know a good one when I taste it. There’s no fooling a girl who watched her grandfather make it fresh. I have to be honest, Summer Fresh Hummus is right up there! (shhh no one tell my grandpa!)
What I love most is the variety – there is everything from the classic garlic to avocado and sweet potato hummus. I can’t wait to keep sampling them all!
I simply can’t get enough of Summer Fresh brands. They make it far too easily to get a serious craving! Find their products in the refrigerated deli aisle/kiosk of your local grocery chain. You won’t regret it!

The Glutino breads come in 4 varieties: White (my fav), MultiGrain, Seeded & Cinnamon Raisin. Some of my favorite things were the fact that it’s the same size as regular bread, that it doesn’t get soggy, and it’s LIGHT AND FLUFFY. Honest to goodness: it’s so fluffy!!
We buy this every single week and I don't think any other gluten free bread will ever take it's place.

This coconut based ice cream has become my go-to since I can't tolerate much dairy. The dark chocolate flavor is perfect - just sweet enough but not overly sweet like most normal ice creams.
The best part is that there are 4 ingredients - all of which I've heard of before! No strange fillers or preservatives.
Although it is quite pricey, a few bites go a long way.
