Within the last year, I started to take daily multivitamins again. (Somehow I had stopped for a year or so after my stock from the MA products ran out.) The first place I went to look for multivitamins was my local Shoppers Drug Mart (Walmart is a good choice too), and since then, I’ve been purchasing all my multivitamins from Shoppers.

Where do I start? It began honestly with a non-idea. I didn’t really want a bridal shower. I wasn’t a fan of the typical, stereotypical bridal showers where all the females are invited to fawn over the bride, play games, eat food, open presents, and take photos.

I write this post as I hear my next-door neighbour’s constantly churning AC unit through my open windows. It’s not even hot tonight, and the perpetual blasts of wind outside tonight are so cool and refreshing. Why do you need to have your air conditioning on?! Continue reading
January 2020: New year, a new change in the schedule again. The Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 a.m. classes have been eliminated. RIP. Oh, seems like they’re back again.
December 2019: Co-owner Amanda is back at the Richmond Hill studio. She brings a new class Barrelates as well as a completely revamped schedule. There are new banners and an advertisement board outside the studio facing 16th Avenue as well as more steep discounts for students ($350 for two classes a week for a year!! which comes down to $3.50 a class.
