Definitely my favourite mall in Ottawa and surrounding area. It has all the stores you could ever want, and more. It's one of the more high end malls, though, so sometimes Bayshore is better for buying basic needs.
Although the layout took some getting used to (it's a BIG mall!), I enjoy every minute I spend at the Rideau Centre. Some of my favourite stores to browse through there include: Lululemon, Body Shop, Aritzia, BCBG, and Coach.

Wow, I was really impressed with this product! I have been using it for just over a week, and I am seeing better results each time I use it. I guess it took a couple of days for my skin to get used to the product, and once it did, I got great results. I love the clean, soft feeling my skin gets after using Dove Deep Moisture Nutrium Wash. It alwys leaves me feeling fresh. And it smells great too, although unfortunately the smell doesn't seem to last long. That is the only negative thing I have to say about the product. It is definitely a great alternative to using soap in the shower. It has a good consistancy, and the body wash spreads easily onto the pouff I use to rub it on myself. I would for sure buy this product again when my current sample (from the product review club) runs out. -

While I really enjoyed the insight on what we really put in our mouths, and the attitude in the writing, the point of this book is too convince you to become a vegan. In my opinion, that is unhealthy and unrealistic for most people. I would still recommend it, but take the information with a grain of salt. -

I have been fairly impressed with my TNA pullover hoodie. It is less stuff than my Lulu hoodie, and very soft on the inside. I have had it for a couple months now, and have even taken it on a camping trip! So far I have seen no change in it's quality, which is great, and adds to it's value. The price was a bit steep (mid seventies), but if that's what you have to pay to get a god quality hoodie, then I'll pay it.
With that being said, I do believe (unfortunately) that these are a trend that will blow over eventually.

After seeing some Bench hoodies around and liking the look of them, I decided to buy one. I love how they say Bench down the side of the sleeve, or on the back of the hood. Mine was on sale, and was about 85 canadian dollars with tax. It was the cheapest price I found. I bought it at Warrens.
After about a week of wearing it, it started to get pills (little material balls) all over it. I hadn't even washed it yet. The inside material was not soft of comfortable. After a month, the pilling was so bad, I started to be embarrased when I wore it.
All in all, probably the worst purchase I have ever made, and I tell everybody I know what a rip off they are. They might be cute, but the quality is horrible. Never again will I buy Bench.

I have been going to this resaturant every month for about 8 years! Even more impressive then that, every single time I have ordered the fajitas. They are simply the best, and I never get tired of them. Why mess with perfection? I have always been impressed with the waiters there, and the food is consistently good. Definietly a great restuarant for families. -
Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

For those who want a deep and thought provocing novel, this is not the book for you. But for those who want a nice fluffy beach read, or a book to have at the cottage, it is perfect. This is possibly one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. Sure, it doesn't mean anything, and it's not exactly deep, but it's fun. The author writes in a way that easily relates you to the character. And there's definitely something to be said for a book that can make you laugh out loud numerous times. -

As a two year DS owner, I'm happy to say that the system has provided me with hours of fun and enjoyment. I have many games for my DS, all of which I love. It is truly something that you can never get bored with. Some of my favourite games are MarioPartyDS, Diddy Kong Racing, and Brain Age. I mostly use my DS when I am in the car on a road trip, on a plane, or even at night just before I go to bed. The price is quite reasonable. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is internet capabilities, which the new verson does. -

I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say I'm impressed. I got it on sale at Zellers for about three dollars. I bought it because I needed a facial cleanser, and it was on sale. I had my doubts about how it would compare to the Clinique soap that I had previously used to cleanse, but I found myself pleasently surprised. It left my face feeling soft and clean, and it smells great. I have mild acne, with pimples on my forehead. This product prevented more acne, and seemed to generally clear up my complexion. Thank you, St. Ives, for helping to make my cleansing routine a good experience. -

I bought my scuba hoodie about 16 months ago, and it is still as warm and cute as it was when I bought it. The only difference is that it has faded slightly, but not too noticably.
Sure, the price is hard to swallow, and you are paying for the brand. But it is a nice sweater that keeps its value. The only issue is that these are trendy, so sooner or later they are going to go out of style. However, I have been seeing these around for years, so I'd say it's a safe purchase. You can get these in so many colours and patterns, so it's easy to find the right one for you.
I would reccomend this hoodie to just about anyone, young or old.
