I’m a little late to the game with this post, but for good reason! Considering the cold rainy weather we’ve been having, it didn’t seem appropriate to talk about summertime frozen treats like this Nestle Mini Drumstick I’m about to devour. But with that 2-day heatwave (in which I nearly perished) this week, the time…

Review: Snakes & Lattes Cafe, Toronto
I have a new favourite cafe where there is rarely a seat, the service is slow and the coffee mediocre. BUT THEY HAVE BOARD GAMES. THOUSANDS OF THEM. I love the concept of Snakes and Lattes, a board game cafe located just west of Bathurst station on Bloor St. In Toronto. A $5 cover…

Review: Jessica Biffi For Addition-Elle Fall Collection
Just got my order in from Addition-Elle; I ordered 4 pieces from the new Jessica Biffi fall collection. First thought: Not impressed.
