Her (2013)

It's true, this movie takes patience. I really didn't think I was going to love it, but I regret watching it on an international red-eye flight - yeah, really RED EYE. I cried and cried like a baby. I really enjoyed how this movie came together, even its quirky (and sometimes awkward) plot. I am looking forward to watching this again with my bf. -
The Break-Up
Despite how sad this movie really is, I love how realistic (in some parts) it is. It doesn't romanticize breakups, because let's face it, they don't always have a movie-script ending. This is by far one of my favourite movies ever. I don't mind... +
Despite how sad this movie really is, I love how realistic (in some parts) it is. It doesn't romanticize breakups, because let's face it, they don't always have a movie-script ending. This is by far one of my favourite movies ever. I don't mind re-watching it, which is huge for me. I don't often watch anything more than once. -
Popcorners Sea Salt Popped Corn Chips
I love pretty much all of the flavours that Popcorners come in, but my fav is the cheesy jalapeño (and I don't usually like artificially flavoured cheese things). Also (for now) you can get them at Costco. My bf is always looking for a GF snack... +
I love pretty much all of the flavours that Popcorners come in, but my fav is the cheesy jalapeño (and I don't usually like artificially flavoured cheese things). Also (for now) you can get them at Costco. My bf is always looking for a GF snack, and since we always snack on popcorn this was a great change - feels like a chip! -
Too Faced Candy Bar Palette
This was on sale at Sephora and I just happened to be looking for some new, neutral eye shadows. I don't have an iPhone 5 so I haven't used the case, which I don't think I'd use anyway. It's kind of tacky and very flimsy - after a few opens and... +
This was on sale at Sephora and I just happened to be looking for some new, neutral eye shadows. I don't have an iPhone 5 so I haven't used the case, which I don't think I'd use anyway. It's kind of tacky and very flimsy - after a few opens and closes the bottom of the case cover cracked.
I use a combination of the dark and medium brown powder to fill in my eyebrows, and often use the lovely coral blush.
Same with the eye shadows. From previous experience with the brand I expected pigmented and velvety shadows - but thats not what I got. Lots of fall-out, difficult to blend and honestly I was just not impressed with about half of the colours.
The only saving grace is the price. For $10 I got an almost perfect match for my brows and a great little blush, all of which is the perfect size to travel with.

Triscuit Crackers
Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil - I would eat a box by themselves in one sitting. I love the taste and texture of triscuit crackers. Or I used to. Since cutting back on sodium I find I can't eat very many of them because I now find them pretty salty... +
Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil - I would eat a box by themselves in one sitting. I love the taste and texture of triscuit crackers. Or I used to. Since cutting back on sodium I find I can't eat very many of them because I now find them pretty salty. They are a lovely treat though, and something you will always find at a party on a tray of crackers :) -
Dream Blends Coconut, Almond & Chia Drink

On my venture to try every dairy-free milk. This was a new one for me. Even though I bought unsweetened, it still tasted sweet in my coffee, and noticeably like coconut.
I really like that these drinks are "enriched" - antioxidants, vitamins, and all of the goods stuff we need. They are also low calorie, can come unsweetened, and are gluten free and vegan.
I will definitely buy this again and try baking with it. Tonight it's also going in a vanilla protein smoothie!

Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths
I pick these up at Costco every so often and love that they last so long - and don't dry out (since I'm the only one in the house that uses them, and I don't use them frequently). I like carrying a pack with me in my bag just in case and always take... +
I pick these up at Costco every so often and love that they last so long - and don't dry out (since I'm the only one in the house that uses them, and I don't use them frequently). I like carrying a pack with me in my bag just in case and always take them with me on long-distance travel. They are very handy and I love that they are flushable! -
Lysol Disinfecting Wipes Citrus
I buy these in bulk from Costco and keep a tub in almost every room for easy cleanup. I like that the scent is fresh, not strong, and they don't dry out my hands. For some things I prefer the wipes with the scrubby side (I think Kirkland had one)... +
I buy these in bulk from Costco and keep a tub in almost every room for easy cleanup. I like that the scent is fresh, not strong, and they don't dry out my hands. For some things I prefer the wipes with the scrubby side (I think Kirkland had one) because these won't always hold up to the job. For the most part I use them everyday for a quick wipe! -
Sushi Fang
I know people think I am so weird because my favourite AYCE sushi is in the valley. Sorry, but it's true. The service is compromised (as with many AYCE restaurants I've been to) but the price is right, and the food is fresh, even if it isn't fast. I... +
I know people think I am so weird because my favourite AYCE sushi is in the valley. Sorry, but it's true. The service is compromised (as with many AYCE restaurants I've been to) but the price is right, and the food is fresh, even if it isn't fast. I don't mind spending the extra time waiting, and eating the meal over an hour or longer. Why rush?
You can get simple rolls, good appetizers, and a selection of Thai food. The portions are not too big, and the menu is smaller than that of other AYCE restaurants I've seen - which is great. Stop trying to be good at everything, and just do what you do, well.
Can't wait to go back. It's a staple on our trips to the valley and is well worth the 45 minute drive.

Mizu All You Can Eat Japanese
For an AYCE-only restaurant, the service here was great. Unlike anything I have ever experienced at other AYCE restaurants. That said, the price was CRAZY, as well as the menu. Trim it down. Why not do a few things well, rather than a huge variety... +
For an AYCE-only restaurant, the service here was great. Unlike anything I have ever experienced at other AYCE restaurants.
That said, the price was CRAZY, as well as the menu. Trim it down. Why not do a few things well, rather than a huge variety of the same thing? (Just a menu of a variety of tempura...)
I know the price is inflated because it's in the city. I have been to more rural AYCE for a fraction of the price for way better food (though compromised service). I don't eat tempura and was surprised when many of our rolls showed up with tempura bits or entirely deep fried. There was no consistency in the menu - they would say "crispy" or list "tempura" on the menu for some rolls, but it was not safe to assume just because it didn't say "crispy" or "tempura" that the rolls wouldn't have those things.
The appetizers were probably my favourite things. Simple. Spring rolls, edamame, seaweed salad, miso soup. Stick to those things. Unfortunately those things are not worth the almost $30 per person. Sorry.
