Goed Eten, located in the heart of Kensington Market, is cute wonderful yummy all rolled into one. They serve waffles only, but do they ever serve waffles well! They offer three types of savoury waffle sandwiches, scrumptious sweet little Liege waffles, and classic Belgium waffles. The perfect little Toronto spot that's soon to become a favourite; it has definitely already won my heart. -

Trevor Kitchen and Bar has an intimate and warm atmosphere. Food was fabulous -- a true 5-senses experience. Everything looked, smelled, and tasted devine. Texture was amazing -- I never knew perfectly al dente spaghetti until Trevor. The food deserved all the ooos and aaahs it got.
The menu design is genius! Even though the menu is small, there's something for every palette -- from "french fries" aka Trevor's "sea salted frites & peppercorn mayo," to popular high-end staples such as Trevor's "pan seared foie gras with pork belly & spiced apple," to unique dishes such as chef-recommended "roast suckling pig with white truffle & grain mustard jus." I had the organic greens salad, lobster and prawn spaghettini in cognac & chive sauce, vanilla creme beignets with chili spiked hot chocolate, a starter sweet wine, a martini, and the best chai tea I have ever experienced.
Complements to Chef Jesse Vallins!
A note: I prefer my waiters/servers down to earth and genuinely friendly. Service at Trevor's was a bit on the snooty side -- which I assume is expected from a restaurant of this class. Do your homework, know your wines, dress appropriately, and study the menu a bit before you go to get the full experience. But all in all, service was very friendly and helpful.

I'm going to try this on my face later as a beauty product. I love this stuff as a food product! I should have been born a queen bee. Honey + Hot Water = Quick Hot Drink. Honey + Hot Water + Lemon = Quick Throat Soothing Drink. Honey +... +

Honey + Hot Water = Quick Hot Drink.
Honey + Hot Water + Lemon = Quick Throat Soothing Drink.
Honey + Peanut Butter = Great Bread Spread.
Honey + Mustard = Yummy Turkey Topping.
Honey + Tea = Natural Sweetened Tea.
You get the idea...

Sephora

Maybe it's because I'm not a glamour girl -- right now I just want my products to be as natural as possible -- so I'm not into putting new stuff on my face for the fun of it. But if you love colour, and spending 2-3 hours pampering and making yourself gourgeous with top of the line brand name products, this is the place for you.
Staff are nice, but not overly nice. The girl in one specific section doesn't know what the girl in the other section knows. Maybe it's because there's just too many products to know about?
However, one thing is for sure -- they have a fabulous lash bar!

Veet Easy Grip Ready-to-Use Wax Strips
I don't really have a mustache -- I just think that I look prettier when those tiny hairs that only I can see with a 20X magnification mirror are gone. For one session I use only half of one side and fold the unused side over to save for another... +
I don't really have a mustache -- I just think that I look prettier when those tiny hairs that only I can see with a 20X magnification mirror are gone. For one session I use only half of one side and fold the unused side over to save for another session. Double the use, quick, and easy. Comes 6 pairs of strips and 3 packets of wipes per box. -
Vaseline Original Petroleum Jelly
This is going to sound really gross, but I really don't care... I love Vaseline Petroleum Jelly! because it helps with my hayfever. On the days that my nose won't give me any peace -- when it gets so itchy inside that all it wants to do is sneeze... +
This is going to sound really gross, but I really don't care... I love Vaseline Petroleum Jelly! because it helps with my hayfever. On the days that my nose won't give me any peace -- when it gets so itchy inside that all it wants to do is sneeze over and over and run and run -- I slather it on a Q-Tip and then coat the inside of my nose. I'm not sure if the stickiness traps pollen and dust or if it moisturizes or both, but it works wonders! -
TNA Speedy Bag
Considering how many Toronto Chicks are carrying this bag around in all the colours of the rainbow, I'm surprised that it only has one review. The size, material, quality, durability, variety, and look of this bag is top notch. My only criticism... +
Considering how many Toronto Chicks are carrying this bag around in all the colours of the rainbow, I'm surprised that it only has one review. The size, material, quality, durability, variety, and look of this bag is top notch. My only criticism is the length of the zipper -- I think it should go a bit further on both sides for easier access. This bag is a must have for Chicks who want a stylish classic practical bag without dishing out $600 for LV's Speedy Bag. Both bags are equally popular, but would you rather pay $50 or $600 to carry around something that every other girl is already carrying? -
Ho Su restaurant

I love HoSu Bistro - Korean & Japanese Cuisine Restaurant at 254 Queen Street West (at John Street)! A bento box lunch special for one person comes out to under $10 with tax and tip! Miso soup and tea also included! What can I say? I'm a cheap date. The only problem is that I prefer not to each rice at lunch because I have it every night at dinner. -
Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm
I'm on a neverending quest to find the perfect lipbalm. This is the first natural lip balm I've tried, but I totally love it. It works just as well as any other petroleum product, but being all natural adds that little bit of value to your buy... +
I'm on a neverending quest to find the perfect lipbalm. This is the first natural lip balm I've tried, but I totally love it. It works just as well as any other petroleum product, but being all natural adds that little bit of value to your buy. The only surprise: it isn't sweet or smell or taste like honey. -
Burrito Boyz
This is a terrific quick lunch if you're starving on a cold winter's day. I recommend going to the original Peter Street location because it has oodles of character.
