Vaticanum 67 located at Viale Degli Ammiragli 67, Vaticano Prati, Rome, 00136 in Italy
September 3 to 7, 2018: For the first four nights in Rome, we stayed at a BnB near the Vatican City outside of Rome. This proved to be a great alternative to staying within the city itself as we were only five minutes away from a Metro subway and the area was a residential one with many good local eats, pharmacies, and Continue reading
RossoVino da Maurizio located at Via Edoardo Jenner, 140, 00151 Roma RM in Italy
September 3, 2018: Our Airbnb host gave us a wonderful selection of restaurant recommendations that was in the area. One of the recommendations was RossoVino de Maurizio.

Pizzarium located at Via della Meloria, 43, 00136 Roma RM in Italy
September 3, 2018: Our first meal in Italy!! After dropping our bags off at our Airbnb, we went to the nearest pizza joint that was open! (This pizza joint popped up on my Google map search for restaurants within our Airbnb area and was one of the only places still open for lunch at around 1 p.m.)
It was called “Bonci Pizzarium” or Continue reading
Archibald Microbrasserie located at 975 Romeo-Vachon Blvd N (inside the Montreal International Airport) in Saint-Laurent, Quebec
September 2, 2018: This was actually my first time inside of the Montreal Airport (since all of the other times I’ve been to Montreal have been either by rail or car). Everyone knows that Montreal is a foodie city, but did you know that their airport is also food-filled with great restaurants!? We had a three-hour layover here and it was during this amazing span of time that we were able to try one of these great restaurants — Archibald Microbrasserie! Continue reading
Mill St. Brewery located at 6301 Silver Dart Dr (inside Toronto Pearson Airport) in Mississauga
September 2, 2018: For our two-week trip to Europe this year, we departed from Toronto Pearson International Airport for a connecting flight to Montreal. Before our flight, we had lunch inside the airport in Terminal 1 at Mill St. Brewery.
It was a surprise to me that this location of the brewery restaurant has been Continue reading
Lulu Studio located at 4315 Major Mackenzie Dr E in Markham
August 31, 2018: I haven’t gotten my nails done professionally in a long, long time. The last time must have been a pedicure back when I convocated from university! As I was leaving for a vacation and feeling up for some fresh, lasting nails on the two-week trip, I sought out a friend who recommended Lulu Studio to me.
I checked out Lulu Studio’s work on her Instagram Continue reading
Lashes by Sarah is a mobile lash business
August 28, 2018: All along, even before I tried lash extensions for the first time this summer, I had wanted to try lash lifts. I wanted to try this unique lash technique which lifted your eyelashes with minimal effort to achieve a natural lifted lash look. The goal of lash lifts is to appear as though you are a bit done up but not too much. Continue reading
Draco Markham located at 170 Enterprise Blvd in Markham
August 27, 2018: This Yelp Elite Event was held at the Draco Markham restaurant inside of the Toronto Marriott Markham hotel at Enterprise Boulevard and Birchmount Road in Markham.
This was a classy yet smart casual affair where there were featured cocktails and dishes available for us to sample. It was not Continue reading
Fav Café + Bar located at 3000 Hwy 7 in Markham
August 27, 2018: Ever since I saw Fav Café pop up at the plaza at the intersection of Highway 7 and Woodbine, I was curious to check it out. At first, I thought this was a second outpost of the original Fav Café (which used to be at West Beaver Creek), but it appears that that original location has closed. Thus, there is only one Fav Café now once more. Continue reading
Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot located at 420 Hwy 7, Unit #26 in Richmond Hill
August 25, 2018: Ever since I noticed the closure of K & K Cafe that previously occupied this space which the current Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot (素上簽) took over, I was curious about its food and dining experience (but not before mourning a bit about my previously favourite go-to HK style cafe)… but I digress.
I had heard that Surely Up Vegetarian Hotpot had a conveyor belt Continue reading
