Flexi-Felt Clear Goodbye and good riddance to all the felt pads that have slid off our furniture over the years! Have you ever stuck those onto your chairs in hopes of preventing scratch marks to your floors, except the pads end up shifting, or even worse slide off, and subsequently leave glue all over your tiles? WE HAVE, but luckily that's no longer the case thanks to … [Read more...]
Farewell Splendido…
February 13, 2016 By
Farewell Splendido, I bid you adieu! This post is super late and not our usual restaurant review for several reasons, namely I can't 100% remember what I ate because it dates back to Dec 16, 2015, and Splendido is no more! After 18 years in business, Chef Victor Barry and team decided to close it down on Jan 1, 2016 in line with transforming the space into a casual Italian eatery. … [Read more...]
Best Dim Sum in Toronto: Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine
February 2, 2016 By
The best dim sum in Toronto is a bold statement, but as a fellow Asian who has dim summed all my life I can confidently say that Dragon Boat Fusion Cuisine is where the good food's at! For me, no other restaurant comes close to the quality of food, presentation, seating comfort, or service. There's always a line up! Dragon Boat is notorious for its wait times, but for good reason because … [Read more...]

Makeup has always been a huge passion of mine. I enjoy the creative freedom that comes with the application of different products, and each day is another step towards mastering a technique. Even though I have a baby to care for, I still continue my morning makeup routine albeit everything done way faster than before. Hey, I've got a tight Mommy schedule but I've still gotta squeeze in … [Read more...]

Left to right: Enfamil A+ Ready to Feed 59 ml nursette bottle, 3-pack standard flow soft nipples and rings, Enfamil A+ Single Serve Packets, Enfamil A+ Ready to Feed 237 ml bottle Personally as a new mom, the most challenging yet fulfilling part of my day is taking baby James out on my own. It's difficult because he cries and squirms when I place him into his car seat (he hates … [Read more...]
Holiday Cheer
December 10, 2015 By
Happy holidays! I love this time of year, and this Christmas will be extra special because it'll be Baby James' first. Although he's still far too young to remember, I hope to make it as memorable as possible, for us. That means taking a million pics! :D Instead of setting up a large green tree, which we're saving for next year, we've gone with a small crystal tree from Nicole … [Read more...]
Restaurant Laloux – Montreal
November 28, 2015 By
It's no secret we love good food, and when it's also accompanied by exceptional service we know we've hit the jackpot. Laloux is one of those rare finds, and I'm happy to say that it is THE most memorable restaurant that we've ever been to. In fact I even dare say, thus far, that it is my favourite restaurant of all time. What sets it apart from the others is their relentless approach … [Read more...]

An NYC Anniversary!
September 6, 2015 By
It still feels surreal that just a few weekends ago we spent our first anniversary in NYC. Essentially Joseph surprised me with the trip, and even arranged for my parents to take care of Baby James (thanks mom and dad). We booked two nights at Langham Place on Fifth Ave. Lets just say that my husband is amazing, and I had the best sleep in a very long time. Complimentary … [Read more...]
JOEY Don Mills – Toronto
August 19, 2015 By
I just had my first real outing since giving birth to James and it was sans baby and fantastic. While I'll admit I've gone out for pediatrician visits, the occasional grocery run, and a few Toys R Us baby purchases, for the past 3 weeks I literally haven't left the house otherwise. Basically when my childhood friend Carl said he was coming to Toronto for a short visit (all the way from … [Read more...]
