Pretty much everyone’s been to a decently fancy restaurant in their time, am I right? Well, Q Haute Cuisine pretty much blows away every restaurant ever. It has not only been named one of 2013’s Top 50 Restaurants in Canada by vacay.ca’s panel of judges, and also holds the 5th position in their public voting…
After school had ended, some relatives from overseas had come to stay with us in Calgary. Ever since, they have been taking us to IHOP once a week. This was the first time I had ever been to IHOP, and trust me, they have some fantastic dishes you wont want to miss. In case you’re…
For Father’s Day dinner, my family and I had the pleasure of eating at The Bow Valley Ranche. This upscale restaurant, located in the heart of Fish Creek Park, operates out of a ranch house built in 1896. This antique yet newly refurbished setting adds a modern twist to the classic architecture of the building.…
Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) is just your average teenage girl, except for the fact that she is diagnosed with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer. In her 17th year, Hazel’s mother and doctor decide she is depressed, and they begin to send her to a Support Group every week. Through her support group, Hazel is introduced to a boy named…
Transitioning out of winter and into nice weather, I find that my hair feels a lot less dry and brittle. Although, it could be in combination with the fact that I’m using a lot of products in my hair. I’ve always had pretty good hair but I went through a phase where I dyed and…
Recently, for my brother’s graduation lunch, we went to Mango Shiva on Stephen Avenue. The walk from the parking at Banker’s Hall to the restaurant was not that long, especially in good weather. The restaurant itself had a warm ambiance with many lights, mirrors, and warm tones. It is semi-formal to casual and great for…
Clueless is a nostalgic 90s movie that gives us a look into the fabulous lives of rich American teenagers. Clueless centres around a 16-year-old girl named Cher. Cher is popular, rich, and hot (the three things that matter most to an upper-class high school girl). Cher and her best friend Dionne must juggle the weight of…
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the sequel to the first Captain America movie (The First Avenger). When this movie came out I went to see it, even though I did not enjoy the first movie very much. I will be analyzing Captain America for you to decide whether or not it is worth your…
I recently started watching a new show on Netflix called The 100. I saw a magazine ad for this CW Network show awhile back and it really caught my eye. Ever since I found out it is also on Netflix (updated every Thursday!), and a book, I cannot stop talking about The 100! Plot: Earth…
I recently visited Cucina 500 a hip restaurant in Inglewood. In this review I will be judging three aspects of this restaurant: The menu, service and food. First of all, the menu contains a variety of options from pastas to pizza, steak, veal and more which is quite good. This restaurant seems to have appeal…
Written by and starring Artistic Producer Ellen Close and Puppet Master Braden Griffiths, My Family and Other Endangered Species is something you cannot miss. It is a piece of theatre that everybody must see, a piece of text that everybody must enjoy, and an experience that everybody must venture on. It is simply wonderful. The…
With over 250 locations in Canada, Boston Pizza is pretty well-known. Although their food has been reviewed many times over, I decided to write this post to share my favourite choices at Boston Pizza. Boston Pizza’s food is quite good. I have tried a few appetizers like the cactus cut potatoes and the Thai chicken…
What would you do for a klondike bar macaron? If you’re like me and my friends, you end up wandering around downtown for nearly half an hour after getting lost trying to find the place. But is it worth it to just get some macarons?(Not to be confused with the macaroon, that’s a different sweet.)…
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt In a traumatic incident, a young boy ends up with a priceless painting, which he comes to find himself unable to part with. This is the premise for The Goldfinch, a novel that surprised me in a number of ways. I didn’t expect that I would actually become so absorbed.…
I was lucky enough to be at the advanced screening of Divergent at the Cineplex Odeon, and might I just start off this blog post with a moment of appreciation. (Cue silence.) I was going into this with very high expectations, since I did read the book about 6 times and had imagined it in…
