The Body Shop Seaweed Line Review

Fighting dry skin while having an oily t-zone has been a nightmare this winter.  Regular products that help with oil control dry my skin out too much to deal with the harsher weather while more moisturizing ones leave me with visible oil, especially on my forehead.  I went in search of a new product to fight […]

A Visit to The Box by No Frills Store in Hamilton

Yesterday was the opening of a new grocery store in Hamilton.  While No Frills have opened a few of their small format stores “The Box by No Frills” across the country, this is the first within a reasonable distance to me. Most The Box by No Frills stores are only 10,000 sq ft, compared to […]

Da Bird Cat Toy – Best Toy For A Lazy Cat

Like many indoor cats, our cats are lazy.  The have so many cat toys, many of them expensive and untouched, but the Da Bird will always be their favourite.  One of mine likes catnip toys but he will just lay there bunny kicking it, not quite  the exercise my little chubster needs so I was […]

My Kobo Love Affair & A Fond Farewell To Actual Books

When e-readers first came out, I was heavily against having one.  I love reading and often read two books a week (I know, you can tell I don’t have children when I have time to read).  Christmas was coming up and my boyfriend asked would I like one because I kill forests with my reading […]
