I really like this lotion, it claims to last 24 hours and it does! It doesn't have a very strong scent, which I like. I have really dry skin on my legs, so I really liked that it lasted for a long time. There is a bit of glitter in it, which is nice, but because it is a body lotion, once you get it on your hands it tends to get everywhere, on your face, clothes, etc. The lotion isn't oily but very moisturizing. -
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
This is inexpensive and so useful. I keep one in almost every bag (including my makeup bag). It's great for winter, has a light minty smell and is very effective.

I got this as a Christmas gift and I'm addicted.
The cute pink box is really nice and upon opening a heart shaped bottle with lightly colored perfume, you really love it! The two part cap doubles as rings. One is a band with purplish pink stones on it, and another is a crown, both in gold.
The scent is the perfect combination of sweet, fruity and flowerly smells. I don't like super sweet smelling perfumes, so this one is perfect. It's not too overpowering so you can wear it as both a day and a night scent! If you really love it, there's also body lotion/butter available.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
I really enjoyed this book. It's perfect for someone who needs an escape and wants something to leisurely read. I know we can all relate when it comes to shopping or spending...although this is a bit in excess. This is definately a great gift... +

A Japanese friend of mine introduced me to this restaurant. She took me there and I instantly fell in love with the place. If you are looking for an authentic eatery that serves Japanese food (not sushi) then I highly suggest going to this place. My Japanese friend even says this is the most authentic she's had in Toronto (she used to live in Japan)
The price is amazing. The times I've eaten there the bill for two people comes to roughly $15.
The service is unbeatable. The food arrives really quickly and the staff is very attentive and always friendly.
There's a wide variety of items such as donburis and udons as well as sides and desserts. If you order the dons or udons you get a choice of a combo for an extra $2 that lets you choose 2 items from the following sides: soup, salad, takosen (2 octopus balls --takoyaki-- between shrimp crackers) or chips (a crispy noodle snack). It's such a good deal!
My favorite thing to order is the curry udon combo with salad and takosen. But, everytime I try something new, I end up loving it. The current menu is great, but I heard they're going to be adding new items soon as well.
I really can't say anything bad about this place! You're missing out if you haven't tried this place :)

This place is amazing! The sushi is always fresh and I love everything on the menu. The two sushi chefs are always friendly. The servers are warm, welcoming and very polite.I've gone so much they not only remember me, but also my order!
I highly recommend the Sashimi Don, Roll Set B and Sashimi Roll for all the sushi lovers out there. I'm really obsessed about the green tea they serve there as well (I think they add some kind of rice or corn in it). I usually sit at the bar, and it's amazing to watch them work. They're so quick. When my boyfriend and I go there, we always get that and together it comes to around 45 dollars, but individually I think you'd spend no more than 15 to 20 dollars. I don't think it's a bad value for the taste, the freshness, the quality and the portions.
I think this place really needs more exposure. It's a really small place (next to Dolce & Gelato), so I don't think they get enough recognition. Everytime I go, I always see regular customers going in and out. They're usually really busy in the evenings as well. They even have a wall of celebrities who have been there. It's such a cute place! Go check it out :) you won't regret it.
They also do take-out and catering.

Price: Not too bad...
Size/Look: Much sleeker and lighter than the regular Nintendo DS, comes in more vibrant colors. I own the pink one (of course), it also comes in black and white (US & Canada). I heard it comes in baby blue and navy blue as well (Japan). I think there are some online sites that sell the Japanese colors, but I think the prices are more expensive (+shipping & tax too!)
Games: They've turned so many classic games into touch and interactive-style. It's amazing! A ton of fun and a great way to pass the time. I can't believe how addicted I am.
Other: If you've got friends who also own it, you can download/connect and they can play minigames with you (selected games). If you're worried it will scratch there are screen protectors, covers and cases for protection. If you buy it new it comes with an extra stylus (for those who lose pens easily).
Enjoy!

There's a big selection of juices, and they come with a free boost each drink! There are a lot to choose from, I usually choose the Power boost or I think it's called the Health boost? but it's for when you need extra vitamins. My favorite flavor is the Mango Hurricane. But I've tried many others and you can't go wrong. Even the regular size is HUGE so you get a lot for your money, and the drinks are prepared really quickly. Definately good for those who want to start drinking healthier drinks, as opposed to carbonated soft drinks. -

I only have a couple of eyeshadows from MAC, but everytime I go to the store, I feel like I want to buy every color. There are so many selections. The newest one I got is from the Frost collection called Water Nymph. It's a really pretty metallic green, and since my eyes are dark brown it really brings the color out. The shadows are long lasting and easy to apply. :) -
