Sushi in TO
Want real Red Snapper? Watch Out!The best way to make sure you get the real stuff is to make it yourself as in cook it yourself; or even better, catch it yourself!
.........if you know how.......if you like cooking
as for people like me at this time, I do not cook much & I do not want to. But perhaps someday I will decide to give it a try. I love sushi! There's nothing like tasting the freshness of fish when it's raw! But I can't imagine making my own raw fish sushi/sashimi, can you?
So therefore, the chance of me getting to eat real red snapper is not that great at the moment.

Dijon Mustard
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/08/obama-mustard-attack-beco_n_199953.htmlIt's the burger topping sauce of choice for President Barak Obama even though it's not an American ingredient.
But it's still Pro-Canadian for us Canadians b/c Dijon in Bordeaux, France imports most of their mustard seeds from Canada & I'm sure that many of the dijon mustard sauces in Canada & the US are actually made here in Canada. So although Obama has been criticised for prefering dijon on his burger by the US critics, we here in Canada have nothing against him forthat. Infact, we are Pro-dijon & we love him even more for it & perhaps even more so for French Canadians, lol!
Anyway,it's.just.such.a.small.thing. I don't think the President or his family needs to watch every detail of their dieting habbits. It's too much of a hassle. I believe they have bigger & better things to do than caring what people say about such subtlety. The critics probably just need stuff to talk & write about. They always keep themselves busy & always looking for something to criticize. Afterall, to critique is their JOB.
Come on, dijon is Delicious! There are several different versions. Some are made w/ fruit. I really love honey mustard so I could understand the preference of a certain sauce over others. However, I'm not sure what dijon mustard is like yet. I'm not sure if I've even tried it. Perhaps I have & didn't know. But next time instead of honey mustard I will try dijon just out of curiousity. Since the US Prez likes it, of course you wonder, "Is it really that good?" espeically if you have never tasted it in your life before. Perhaps I'll like it just as much or perhaps even better & it may become my favourite too. Or even possibly, I may choose to stick back to my honey mustard afterall!

El Bulli-make ur own famous El Bulli dishes
green pea jelly ravioli
caviar beverage
caviar inside ravioli
El Bulli is a very famous restaurant in Spain that has been judged "The Best Restaurant in the World" 5 times. It is famous for it's extremely innovative dishes that are made from simple ingredients but very unique techniques. Some of their best-known techniques are making hot gelatins, airs, foams, clouds, melon/pea/fruit caviar or spherical ravioli.
The revolutionary chef Ferran Adriá is the head chef at El Bulli. He uses a series of techniques in molecular gastronomy that have brought about an evolution in the restaurants cooking style. Molecular gastronomy is a scientific discipline involving the study of physical and chemical processes that occur in cooking.
I have not been able to find the exact definition of Sferification / Spherification so I cannot tell you the universial meaning of what it is. But from my current knowledge, it is the chemical process of making the jelly like caviar & ravioli & the "Spher" part of the word probably comes from the word "Sphere" meaning round. What's really cool is that apart from just making caviar or ravioli seperate, you can actually combine the two together & enclose the caviar into the ravioli which is truely juicy! Made w/ real fruit, no food colouring, added sugar or preservatives! Yummy & healthy!
Basic Spherification consists of submerging a liquid containing Algin in a Calcic bath. This is used to obtain ravioli and other sfer creations with a very thin membrane. It also allows you to obtain spherical caviar. In Basic Spherification it is necessary to use Citras with some ingredients in order to correct the acidity.
The food at El Bulli is more like Eye Candy. It looks so unique & interesting that you just want to look at it & not eat it so that you can look at it as long as you can if not forever, or practically at least you want to look at it a few more times & perhaps snap a few photos before you really dig in. I'm sure that the food tastes just as good as it looks though, so you don't have to worry about that. From what I heard, it tastes like nothing you have ever tasted before.
Reservations at the restaurant is of course expensive especially if you have to get a flight there. Even if you have a lot of money, you still have to reserve a table one year in advance. So instead of giving up & dreaming that I can go there someday, I just make a few of my own famous El Bulli dishes right at home for now. But I'm still hoping to actually go there eventually someday & enjoy the real thing & all of the dishes they have there. For now I'll be happy just to have the self-made substitutes. Easy, economical & I can make whatever flavours I want. I can't wait to try apple, mango & watermelon caviar & ravioli.
Nowadays many restaurants around the world have some El Bulli inspired dishes on their menu especially the caviar & ravioli. So if you don't want to bother purchasing all the equipments & ingredients & finding the time to make your own sferication dishes, you can just find it at a local highend restaurant.
Here's the kit that allows you to make caviar & ravioli. It's called the sferification/spherification kit.

ACE Grooming Products for Men
These masculine Products/Tools made especially for men so that you men you there don't have to feel discouraged about keeping up w/ your looks & personal hygiene by having to use the same tools women use.Note: The fotos of the two cars above are not in any way related to ACE, but I just posted them because they totally match ACE's grooming products. haha! ^_^
Kiehl's
http://toronto-style.blogspot.com/2008/11/ultimate-kiehls-experience.htmlhttp://www.luminato.com/festival/eng/events/ID89
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiehls
Kiehl's is a beauty/skincare brand that originated from New York in 1851, which is more than 150 years ago. They use all natural ingrediants. All of the products have not been tested on animals so it's ok for all you animal-lovers out there! If you like The Body Shop, you'll probably like Kiehl's as well. I cannot tell you how the two compares as I have not tried Kiehl's yet, but I heard that it's very good. Many Hollywood Celebs use this brand. It is a lot more popular in the US & not so much in Canada. Probably b/c of Canada's links w/ the British, we are more familiar w/ UK brands such as The Body Shop, and Crabtree & Evelyn. We still follow the Brit way of spelling our English words for instance. I'm sure they both offer some similar products and also of of their own unique products. I will tell you what I think about it once I've tried some of the stuff. I'm planning to visit their Eglinton store sometime later. It's near Eglinton subway station if you are taking the TTC.
I'm quite looking forward to it try out. I'm not out of bodywash yet, but I think I need a new cleanser & moisturizer. I'll probably just start out by getting a small/travel-sized combo set just to try out & ask them for a few samples also, so you don't have to spend a whole lot of money on something that you have no idea if you like or not.You may have seen articles about this brand in some magazine & newspaper articles & wondering where you can buy it b/c you cannot find it at Shoppers/Walmart etc... They have a store on Yonge St. & one on Queen St. in Toronto, one in Vancouver & they recently opened one in Montreal as well. So check it out when you have time. Their products are sold at Holt Renfrew. Or you can always shop online on their website! anytime.
Besides Human Beings, they also have pet care products for dogs & horses. How interesting! I doubt The Body Shop has that, lol! I wouldn't be surprised that some pet lovers would want to get their pets the same brand products that they use themselves. It'll make them feel that much closer to their pets.
I want to try their blue herbal facial care line to prevent/treat breakouts.

Fiji Water is very popular among Hollywood celebs. You can find it at almost if not all celeb events. It is the #1 prefered brand of bottled water by celebs to drink during the Toronto International Film Festival. Although Toronto's Mayor David Miller banned plastic beverage bottles in all municipal offices after another Canadian city, London in Ontario, we will still see a lot of Fiji water at the TIFF09. Some people even subscribe to a monthly supply of Fiji Water. It is a key ingredient in Michael Kors' "Island Fiji" fragrance.

Germany shares the Rhine River w/ several European countries which are Austria, France, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, & Switzerland. Europeans have always consumed bottled water, since most knew that their tap water was recycled a number of times. It is said that the water of the Rhine River is drawn by seven German cities and recycled until it reaches the Atlantic Ocean after flowing though the Netherlands.

Cheryl Tweedy/Cole
Cheryl hit it big this year as X-Factor judge. I don't think many people knew about her or her band Girls Aloud in North America previously.I like Victora Beckham, but I think I like her a little bit more, although they both have their differences & uniqness in their styles. Just my personal preference. But I don't think that one is better than the other. We need them both!
A very successful year for Cheryl indeed!
She was picked as 2009's best dressed celeb by Glamour Magazine.

PAPAYA MOUSSE CLEANSER
Loved it just as much as the toner. Loved it!
Papaya Toning Complex
I used this toner a few years ago and then I went on to using other brands, not that it's not good enough. In contrast, I actually like it a lot. My sister used to use it also. It smells great & made my skin feel good & I used it every day when I had it & I was planning to get a new one after I used it up. I wonder what happened. Oh ya, my discount membership expired & then one time they gave me a bad brow wax although I'd had a good one at another location. Anyway, I think that I'll buy it again in the future.
PAPAYA POWER SCRUB
I remember loving this when I had it!
PORE MINIMIZING MOISTURE LOTION
I didn't like it that much. I felt it was too thick for me. It says oil-free & I believe it should be, but it's thinkness gave me the illusion that it was oily. The bottle is a bit small. I used half of it & then stopped b/c I felt it was causing breakouts or maybe just coincidence & then I started using something else. But to be fair, perhaps I did not pay enough attention to see it's effectiveness in minimizing pores or if it was indeed causing breakouts.
EMERGIN C MULTI-VITAMIN SERUMWITH RETINOL
I had it & it was alright I think. Wasn't too oily b/c it's more like a gel. I loved the little colourful multi-colored bubbles/beads that releases the vitamins when pumped out of the bottle. When you pump the bottle, the bubbles go into the straw & pops when it comes out. Too bad I was too lazy to use it regualry back in the day & let it expre before finishing the whole bottle. Back then I was still relatively new to skincare.
EMERGIN C 20% VITAMIN C SERUM
I kinda like it, but felt it might be a little sticky & oily. But perhaps it was just the thickness & not actually contain a lot of oil.
EMERGINC VITAMIN C AND RETINOL MASK
Love it also! I really liked the tingly feeling that made it feel like it was really working even though the tingling was a bit stinging. It was the Retinol beads that caused the tingling. Whether it is truely effective or not, I suppose it does. At least, I felt it was working. I can't really tell the difference as I did not have a lot of sun damage before I used it.
VITAMIN C STICK
One of the very first lipgloss/balms I had. It was the first lip product I had that had sun protection. I liked it at first b/c I didn't have many lip products back then. I suppose I may use it again. It was ok, not bad!
BLUSH
I like it. I still have the same blush from several years ago. It's medium dark pink shade called "Kewpie Doll" & matches my skin well. It doesn't go on very dark so I like that b/c I don't like too much colour on my cheeks. I don't use blush very often, perhaps that's why I haven't used it up yet. However, I believe that the colour may have been discontinued or perhaps they change it's name. I can't find it on their website, but perhaps it may still be available in the store.
PRISMATIC PERFECT FINISH
I used this facial powder all over my face right after foundation b/c the sales lady told me so. So I put it all over my face and it made my skin look wierdly brown although I mixed it really well when I swired my powder brush in it.
GREEN MAKEUP TONER/green camouflage concealer
A light, creamy formulation which will tone-down a pink complexion.
EYESHADOW
I have 3 of their eyeshadows in light pink, yellow & orange. The colours are very light but still makes a difference. I used to use light colours b/c they are relatively safe for people who are not very experienced w/ eyeshadows. I used a light application of just one shade each time.
LIPSTICK & LIPGLOSS
I have a lipstick & lipgloss, both are somewhat different shades of pink, one light & one dark, but they worked together very well. I really liked it. I'll tell you the name of the shades later when I have time to update. The lipstick is called "Love Potion" which is a peachy pink & the lipgloss is called "Princess" which may have been discontinued.
EYE & LIP PENCILS
OK, meaning that nothing special. I find that it's just as good as some drugstore brands. Nothing different/phenominal. But I will give a description of each that I have tried.
EYEBROW PENCIL
I had a light brown one which I really liked the colour b/c it matches my natural brow colour very well. It's like a light chestnut brown w/o any red tones which I hate. I liked the tiny little brush attached to the lid which made it very convenient & you don't have to grab/carry & extra brow brush w/ you. I'm really sad that I lost it & it wasn't even half finished yet. I'll just have to get a replacement.
WATERPROOF EYE LINERS
I have a dark grey one which is the automatic sharpening kind. It's ok.
WATERPROOF LIP LINERS
I got a cherry red one. I don't really like that shade.
PROFESSIONAL BRUSH SET
I like it, came w/ a free pouch. I still use it to this day & none of them are broken yet as I've taken very good care of them. But perhaps I may need to replace someday. Comes w/ all the essential brushes I need.
I don't remember paying that much for them, but I did. But I think that the price as been inflated a bit over time. So I'm glad that I got them as early as I did b/c I don't plan on purchasing them again unless I absolutely have to, that is if they break or i accidently lose them.

I used this facial powder all over my face right after foundation b/c the sales lady told me so. So I put it all over my face and it made my skin look wierdly brown although I mixed it really well when I swired my powder brush in it.
GREEN MAKEUP TONER/green camouflage concealer
A light, creamy formulation which will tone-down a pink complexion.
EYESHADOW
I have 3 of their eyeshadows in light pink, yellow & orange. The colours are very light but still makes a difference. I used to use light colours b/c they are relatively safe for people who are not very experienced w/ eyeshadows. I used a light application of just one shade each time.
LIPSTICK & LIPGLOSS
I have a lipstick & lipgloss, both are somewhat different shades of pink, one light & one dark, but they worked together very well. I really liked it. I'll tell you the name of the shades later when I have time to update. The lipstick is called "Love Potion" which is a peachy pink & the lipgloss is called "Princess" which may have been discontinued.
EYE & LIP PENCILS
OK, meaning that nothing special. I find that it's just as good as some drugstore brands. Nothing different/phenominal. But I will give a description of each that I have tried.
EYEBROW PENCIL
I had a light brown one which I really liked the colour b/c it matches my natural brow colour very well. It's like a light chestnut brown w/o any red tones which I hate. I liked the tiny little brush attached to the lid which made it very convenient & you don't have to grab/carry & extra brow brush w/ you. I'm really sad that I lost it & it wasn't even half finished yet. I'll just have to get a replacement.
WATERPROOF EYE LINERS
I have a dark grey one which is the automatic sharpening kind. It's ok.
WATERPROOF LIP LINERS
I got a cherry red one. I don't really like that shade.
PROFESSIONAL BRUSH SET
I like it, came w/ a free pouch. I still use it to this day & none of them are broken yet as I've taken very good care of them. But perhaps I may need to replace someday. Comes w/ all the essential brushes I need.
I don't remember paying that much for them, but I did. But I think that the price as been inflated a bit over time. So I'm glad that I got them as early as I did b/c I don't plan on purchasing them again unless I absolutely have to, that is if they break or i accidently lose them.

I used to love the smell a lot, not as much now, but it's still good. Perhaps the chemistry of my body has changed a little & that may be why it doesn't appeal to me as much now. Well Chance is supposed to be for very young ladies, perhaps now I'm more of a Coco Mademoiselle. LoL! Yup, maybe I should try that!
Chanel#5
My mom's #1 favourite. I kinda like it but it's not for me. I feel that it's too mature for me right now & it's too strong. Perhaps in the future when I get to my 30's then I may use it.

I tried the "Lily of the Valley" water-based scent. The smell is ok but it's not something that I like my body to smell like so I tend to use it for an air freshener instead. Perhaps it's just not my type of scent. I've tried smelling a few of their fragrances & I don't really like them that much. Rosewater & Lavander are okay too. For fragrances, I typical like the usual perfume brands that specialize in them like Chanel, Dior & Hugo Boss.

Joe Fresh
http://www.joe.ca/en/beauty/
The brand recently launched his new cosmetics line.If you've seen/tried his clothing & accessories you would know how cool the stuff are.They're hip/urban with cool very Fresh colours. lol!His products are all reasonably priced & pretty good quality.I first learned about Joe Fresh when I stumbled across the section at Loblaws & I instantly felt appealed/attracted to it's products. I'm not sure if it was the colours or the styles that I was drawn to, perhaps both. I think the name of the brand has something to do w/ it too. Joe Fresh just sounds very fresh especially since it's sold inside a supermarket, my kind of thing, lol!There were tons of stuff that I wanted to buy. All the kids clothes were pretty cool too, & I was thinking that if I ever have kids someday or need to buy a kid a present that I'd buy Joe & I did recommend it to some people I know who have kids.My favourite item was their huge bowling bag. I think that it was sorta a diaper bag for mother's to carry all their baby stuff around it. But I bought it anyway b/c I usually carry a lot of stuff around.I'm looking forward to trying some of the new Joe makeup stuff in the near future! You can find his stuff at your local Loblaws supermarket.
Mineral Powder
Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit
That was my very first time trying mineral makeup for the first time. I had purchased it from Sephora I think two years ago. I remember buying it & not openning it until a week after even though I was anxious to try it. I think that I just felt a bit overwhelmed as it seemed very different from regular makeup. I actually was scared of using it the wrong way & had to wait until I had time to watch the tutorial DVD that came w/ in the package. Once I watched it, it just felt easy & that's how I started using minerals. It looks so natural & so easy to apply that now I don't even want to go back to using non-mineral makeup ever again. I thought that it was expensive at the time when I bought it. But it did come w/ 2 cover up powders of 2 different shades & also a translucent one. It did last me longer than I though. Now I actually think that it was a good deal.
I just ran out of minerals. Now it's time to stock up again. But perhaps I'll try a different brand next as there are so many new ones, almost every brand now offers it.
Lip Plumpers
Fusion Beauty
Shiseido
It was a collagen lipbalm & it expred on me before I could finish it. It did work, but I still like "Fusion Beauty" better b/c if feels nicer & seem to last longer.
Eyeliners
Regular
regular ones that you sharpen. slightly cheaper in price compared to the other ones. they may break, especially the colour led inside if you drop it on the floor. but I guess Originality has it's appeal.
Self-Sharpening Kind
It doesn't actually sharpen, but rolls out the led when you turn the bottom of the pencil. It's easier to use & you don't have to have a pencil sharpener in hand. However, the it does not get that fine tip that you do w/ conventional pencils. I suppose you can sharpen the tip by drawing on white paper to get rid of the excess & I say white paper b/c you don't want to get the tip dirty & get it in your eyes.
The led will not break as easily as regular conventional pencils. At least I have not broken one yet, but I suppose it's still possible. One thing bad about these pencils is that you do not know how much led is inside. Once I almost bought a pencil that had almost nothing inside. Good thing the led fell out & I saw how short it was & I got another one instead.
Liquid
Liquid is the way to go! It's hard to apply at first, but once you learn the tips & tricks you may want to never use the led pencils every again except for the large jumbo pencils that also doubles as an eyeshadow. However, liquid liners are a bit hard to remove. You must use an eye makeup remover or cream cleanser afterwards.
The newest trend right now is the glitter & matellic liquid eyeliners. They're so great that you wish they had them earlier! It's still a relately new thing & only several brands have them. However, sooner or later it'll become as popular as mineral makeup & you'll probably see them at every cosmetics asile/dept of every store you go ot.
Eyeshadows
Powder Shadows
Great if you don't like to wear too much eye makeup. You can just apply a very light layer of it & it comes offf easily.
Jumbo Pencils
Jumbo pencils can be used as both an eyeliner & eyeshadow so you can easily create your look w/o having to buy 2 items (eg. powdered shadowed+thin pencil) which allows you to save a bit of $$cha-ching!
Metallic & Glitter powdered shadows you must love! You can go light or add more layers or a more solid look especially at night time!
Gel shadows are absolutely to die for, especially the metallic/glittery ones. They look more solid/bold than the powdered shadows.
Two-Faced
Cute & Hip are their products! I really love their pallets which are packaged like books. Very cool!
Sephora
http://www.sephora.com/
A good place to go ot if you're looking for variety & you want to try out before you buy. They have qutips, tissues & disposible applicators there for your convenience.

Lip Plumpers
Fusion Beauty
So far I've only tried "Fusion Beauty" & "Shiseido." The collagen causes the tingly feeling & makes your llips plump up a little. There's also some non-collagen lip plumpers out there, but I have not tried them b/c I don't think they really work, or at least not as great as collagen & they cost around the same price anyway.
I like it. I love the tingly feeling once applied. It's a bit pricey, but perhaps not for lip plumpers in general. Instead of buying the big ones, I bought a minis combo to try out.Shiseido
It was a collagen lipbalm & it expred on me before I could finish it. It did work, but I still like "Fusion Beauty" better b/c if feels nicer & seem to last longer.

Goody Hair Products
"Goody" Hair Accessories & ToolsYou may already own/use some of the stuff from this brand & not know it. I didn't even know the name of the brand until recently and I found out that some hair clips & elastics that I bought a few years back are actually from this brand.
I love their claw hairclips, especially the gold/pink metallic ones. I like to tie/clip my hair in a small ponytail w/ just my hair from the sides. The clips & other accessories are very elegant, classic & chic, but I tend to break them whenever I drop them as w/ other hairclips from other brands also. So I guess all plastic clips break easily, but sometimes you can fix them w/ superglue. Anyway, what's great about the big clips is that they each have an elastic holder on each side which are basically knobs that stick out on the inside, so each clip can hold 1 or even 2 hair elastics. These hairclips comes in a pack of 2 & a black elastic is included w/ each clip. I went to several Shopper's recently & they didn't have a wide selection of Goody hair accessories & their clips did not have the elastic holder. So if you do ever buy their hairclips, you may want to make sure that they have the elastic holder first. I ended up finding them at Walmart & they did have them in several colours. However, my favourite gold one is sold out, not even one left. So I guess other people has the same taste I do. I had no idea it's so popular. Next time I'll check out several different Walmarts & Loblaws. I think that they will have a larger variety.
The elastics from their Ouchless collection are the best I've ever seen! The elastics do not contain any metal connectors that your hair can easily get caught in. They don't fray/break easily as with some other brands & they also have some really cool colours/designs too. Did I mention that they hold your hair very well? Your hair won't fall out as they have a very strong hold. You can find Goody Hair Products at Walmart, Shopper's Drug Mart & Loblaws.

This TV show has been going on for a long time. I used to watch good old FT it when I was a kid as my eldest sister used to follow it almost every weekend so I guess that I was pretty much already exposed to the world of Fashion as a little kid. I haven't watched it much in the recent 10 years as I don't watch too much TV these days, but I can remember how interesting/cool it was watching it. So I just need to find a TV guide & find out when it's on & watch it if I happen to be home when it's on. Meanwhile, I'll just check out their website.

What's on Yonge Street?
http://www.onyongestreet.com/
Wow! I didn't know that they have a whole online directory on Yonge St. How convenient! More convenient than looking up the yellow pages. But how often do I visit Yonge St. anyway besides Finch & Yonge/Bloor, lol. But as summer comes & I get back on track & have more free time I probably will more often. The problem is that there are just too many good places to visit around Toronto that you don't know which ones to pick to go to, lol!
There's a lot of good finds/places to visit, a lot of cool shops to shop, restaurants to eat, etc... & even places that you might not know exists & you must check out! The whole directory covers Aurora, Barrie, Thornhill, etc... & not just Toronto, so it's indeed very useful.
