Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
Paw Cleansing Foam I purchased this paw cleaner at the Lunar New Year Market hosted by the UBC Botanical Garden this year. I brought Canek in tonight and tried this on his paws. Today was a fairly dry day, but living in the lower mainland of BC means winter is never really dry. I used... Continue Reading →

One of the goodies inside the box was the utterly spectacular hazelnut and dark chocolate spread from Allo Simonne. I have always been a fan of Nutella, but this is so... Continue Reading →
