December 31, 2019:  For the last meal of 2019, we went to Legend Pot (九鼎香) at Warden and Steeles in Markham for an all-you-can-eat hot pot dinner.  We wanted a fairly simple and economical hot pot experience and since we hadn’t tried out Legend Pot before, we decided to come here.

Pandemic 2020 Takeout Eats: Pho Time Authentic Vietnamese Eatery

Pho Time Authentic Vietnamese Eatery takeout

Takeout from Pho Time Authentic Vietnamese Eatery

This is not good.  We are ordering too much takeout during this pandemic!  Despite being so obedient the first month and eating exclusively home-cooked food to avoid interacting too much with the outside world, ever since we broke the seal on Easter long weekend with our first takeout meal, we’ve been going out to buy takeout more and more often. :/

Anyway, Pho Time Authentic Vietnamese Eatery (9255 Woodbine Ave, Unit 7A) is a brand new Vietnamese restaurant that Continue reading

Pandemic 2020 Workouts: Pop Zumba with Emily from Elle Fitness

 Pop Zumba with Emily of Elle Fitness in Toronto

Quick screenshot that I got on my phone while we were in between songs

I am so glad that years ago after attending classes at Flirty Girl Fitness, I stayed subscribed to their e-mail list.  They changed over into Elle Fitness years later (I still have one class left to attend on my punch card actually), but I never went back for more classes at the new fitness studio.

I went through some of the e-mails in my inbox this weekend and discovered that Elle Fitness has Continue reading

Facial Sheet Mask Review: AHC Derma Aesthetic Bright Toning Mask

AHC Derma Aesthetic Bright Toning Mask box of 5

AHC Derma Aesthetic Bright Toning Mask

The way this AHC Derma Aesthetic Bright Toning Mask packaging is designed is unique and looks like a “medical” grade product.  It’s a clean design with the name of the facial mask clearly displayed in block letters on the front.  The photo looks like an actual prescription that you get from the doctor’s with even the “PX” and a doctor’s “signature” for effect.  In this case, it’s Continue reading
