Hi everyone :)
I’ve been a tad busy…with…softball…
I played in a tournament this past weekend, and JUST recovered from it yesterday! It shows that I’m aging :T (Though that’s just a fat excuse, seeing as most of the women were in their late 20’s or early 30’s! Some even had KIDS! lol)
And it actually hurts to type because…I was working with shrimp yesterday (jumbo shrimp…or were they prawns?) Anyway the point is, one of the spikey bits got JAMMED under my nail…and…yeah…it was fun getting it out :T but its swollen and slightly infected…so its a pain to do anything with my index finger :T
Well I wanted to write though, because of some updates that were available from my outing today~ and I wanted to share!
First off, I haven’t gone to the Toronot Eaton Centre since my last post…
and since then they have NEW WONDERFUL FREAKING SALES! lol Plus the B&BW’s has finally opened and I got to step into the store for my second time! lol It was wonderful. I love that their scents aren’t over the top, cause my nose goes insane when I go near a Lush…even The Body Shop sometimes…Anyway I thought it was awesome that they have a sink where you can try out their soaps, and well wash of scnets that you didn’t really like.
Second if you are looking for a dress, GO NOW!
No seriously, they have some great deals at FCUK (GORGEOUS sun yellow tube dress for just under $100, good material as well) plus they had other tops and stuff for a decent price.
H&M had some great deals, I almost bought a purely black sequined dress for this event that I am attending next Thursday (Anyone going to Divalicious??) but they only have size large left, and I needed a medium :T Too bad cause it was $10! plus they have a bunch of shirts, pants and such from $7+
Nine West (Upper level) is having a sale, and most footwear starts from 29.99 and goes up from there. They lower priced ones were THAT gorgeous, but there were a few that were cute.
Another great place to stalk out is Zara! It was a ZOO in there! If you can find your size, and in your colour, then BAM great deal. Unfortunately I was out of luck for both of those :(
Aldo is having their up to 70% off sale, BUT some of the stuff is CHEAPER online than in stores, so check out the online site before you buy from the store. Seriously I saw a shoe that I was priced like…30 on the site, and it was 60 in stores :T
Finally! If you wanted to buy a Matte Nail Polish…Trade Secrets at the Eaton Centre now has them in stock!! All the colours are on the shelf near the window, and on sale for 9.95 (which is the usual price for OPI there). I didn’t buy one though…I am more interested in the ZOYA mattes :P
I had Late Lunch, Early dinner at Milestones, on their patio which is located outside the Eaton Centre in the AMC building. It was my first time there, and on the patio, and seeing as it was GORGEOUS outside, I had a great time. My only complaint is that when I needed my waitress, she wasn’t available >_< (The fries ended up being stale or something, cause they had a weird chewiness to them :T) But it was fun. It does seem a little dangerous at times, cause the path for the patrons to walk between tables is VERY narrow (because of the umbrellas) but the servers do their best to be extra careful, so its not a big deal to me. (BTW I LOVE their 4 Cheese Burgers. I got scolded by my friend for ordering it, when I was at Milestones…but I can’t help it…its love :) Especially when the meat isn’t over cooked…YUM!)

Slightly creepy wall of barbie dolls in the womens bathroom. I wonder what they have in the mens…?
Finally cause I’m a tightwad on Tokens, we walked up Yonge, and along Bloor to try out a Frozen Yogurt place. Located just infront of the Other Spadina Staion Entrance (On the corner where the Shoppers is located) is a small tucked away store called FIORE.

Cute little place, with decent amount of sitting, and the green tea flavoured yogurt wasn’t too bad. I wish it was a tad bit stronger in its macha flavouring, but meh.

Raspberry Pomegranate with blueberries

Greentea (notice the colour…wish it were darker = more macha/flavouring)
BTW if you get green tea, what would you pair it with? Fruits mixed with green tea yogurt seems weird :T…or is it really just me?
finally just cause I thought this was funny, at Yogen Fruz…

Isn’t Fruity Cheerios…just…Fruit Loops?! Why wouldn’t they credit Fruit Loops to Fruit Loops, and instead to Cheerios?! Unless Cheerios decided to come out with coloured Cheerios…which I haven’t seen yet :T It seems wrong not to give them proper credit…I mean they credit Captain Crunch (Kinda)
One last shot :P

Nails earlier this week…one of my friends who has been away at Western sat next to me in service on Sunday, and I noticed her nails…instead of solid like like I did, her friend had dotted the lines with a tool! lol it was sooo cute, that I wanted to do something similiar…it does look harsh cause I used black…but I did like it temporarily :P
Alright, my index finger is now dying…sooo…farethewell for now :)
Hope you enjoy the weekend!
PS I just read a post in the Soompi forum…and another member just mistook me as a male member XD! I wonder if my posts there are more masculine?? or maybe I misinterpreted his reply? lol ts funny either way to me :P
oh my goodness that’s a fabulous looking nails! i love it! it’s not rough at all! :) Thanks for sharing about your experience :) It’s like I’m there with ya :D
Cool nails! I’m waiting for the Zoya Mattes too.
I’m always close to Spadina station, I will have to try the yogurt place sometime, the green tea looks so good. How about chocolate chip toppings? That combination does it for me :D
hey there,
I’m organizing a Toronto beauty blogger get together if you are interested. Check out my blog for details.
Now I found out something else we don’t have: frozen yogurt stores. You’re torturing me :-) And FCUK, and Trade Secrets, etc etc etc, lol
Take good care of that index finger!

Wow! I haven’t been to DownTown Eaton Center in ages! I miss that place~ I used to go there *everyday* when I went to Ryerson :P Well I miss Queen St and Kensington Ave too!
And that H&M $10 dress? I’d have bought it even though it’s not my size, and alter it. It’s just too good a deal to pass! :D
