Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
The Maple Box: "Happy Summer" 2022 When I purchased an annual subscription to The Maple Box, I wasn't expecting to receive a box until the fall, so along with the subscription I ordered two bundles, which I wrote about in an earlier post. I enjoyed the products in the bundles so much, I was really... Continue Reading →
Bouquet purchased July 22 2022 I never used to buy flowers. Then my sister started her pursuit of the art of being a florist, and I couldn't help but jump on board and support that endeavour. Now when she's making bouquets my house often ends up full of flowers. Don't imagine this is because she's... Continue Reading →
Headband from Blush Silks in the colour "champagne" The problem with online shopping is that you never know what you're going to get. Pictures, though very helpful, often aren't an accurate representation of what you'll receive. Size can be elusive unless there is something to compare it to, and even then you might misjudge.

I've been mystery shopping for the past few months and realized I really enjoy being required to purchase something I wouldn't normally buy. I found the mystery of "what will I buy this...

Unfortunately the two people who agreed quickly came up with dead ends. Ancestry has billions of records, but apparently not enough from certain areas in Europe, Africa,... Continue Reading →
So much for feeling relatively safe in my neighbourhood despite its "charms"... I was walking home from the metro station, and was very close to my house. I felt someone behind me, but he crossed the street to his friend. They talked for a moment, and then split off. I remember thinking it was very... Continue Reading →
I'm living in the 18th arrondisment in Paris. It's definitely not the best neighbourhood, but not the worst either. The streets generally smell like piss despite there being FREE public toilets set up for use. There are at least two tent cities within 5 blocks of my house that I've noticed. There is garbage everywhere,... Continue Reading →
This is my second time living abroad this year. I spent 4 months earlier this year in London while studying. I loved the course I was taking, but it took a long time for London to grow on me. Now I'm in Paris, taking yet another course, but unfortunately it's not going as planned. I... Continue Reading →
I have always wanted to drive to Alaska and experience the North, and have been trying to get people to go with me since I was 17. Guapito and I decided that this is the year that we would finally do it. He booked two weeks off of work, but auditions, rehearsals, and the biggest... Continue Reading →
