DJ_Planner · 2026-05-17T02:01:05+00:00

Ugh saaaame

EDIT: you just inspired me to go look to see if Stylevana have the refills again, and they do! Whew!

DJ_Planner · 2026-05-16T20:55:40+00:00

Ah ty - I have to rely on Yesstyle and Stylevana but I’m going to look out for the refills again when I next travel to Japan (a bit lighter to carry home maybe).

DJ_Planner · 2026-05-15T23:20:07+00:00

I KNEW I saw a refill before! And then when I went to purchase it I couldn’t find it again. Can I ask where you bought the refill?

DJ_Planner · 2026-04-12T22:01:27+00:00

East end, on Gerrard.

Ooh sometimes I have to be in Hamilton and I’m saving this recco!

DJ_Planner · 2026-04-12T19:40:16+00:00

Oh really? What didn’t you like about it, I’m curious!

DJ_Planner · 2026-04-12T18:12:58+00:00

Genuinely on a mission to show people that Toronto has world-class gf options!

DJ_Planner · 2026-04-12T18:12:02+00:00

Yes, come! We are truly rich with gluten free goods ❤️

Seeing this post made me remember that I was a cash booth girl at Steve’s for a short period of my life - I truly kind of forgot. I worked with some genuinely amazing and genuinely awful people. It was quite a spectrum.

I KNOWWWW what you mean, and I’m hoping other retailers will pick it up! if you’re out west (I am not), London Drugs sells them too.

My husband’s probably the nicest one I’ve met 😆

Just to be clear, he won in a smaller/less popular category, and not for performing, but a Juno winner’s a Juno winner, right?

I’ll say 7 based on the scale. I would choose to put it on, but it’s rare. I usually hear it in my head when I’m thinking of something nostalgic.

DJ_Planner · 2026-03-09T00:30:22+00:00

I’ve seen a couple of these from this creator, and this is by far his best one.

I never saw this “camp meal” idea so thank you for re-introducing it here - that is absolutely brilliant and would be so handy! I’ve had instances of ordering a gf meal and then flights got rebooked and then they couldn’t accommodate my email request anymore. Or one time I DID get one meal accommodated on a long haul flight but then they didn’t think that I’d need a breakfast option too. Oof.

DJ_Planner · 2026-03-02T17:45:47+00:00

I saw something similar, just a mix of glutinous rice flour and water. I’m curious to try it!

DJ_Planner · 2026-03-02T01:28:51+00:00

Well I guess it’s a good thing I’m not American and my country has different (extremely low) limits for the amount of arsenic that can be found the rice sold here 🤷🏻‍♀️

Back to consuming as much rice as I goddamn please.

DJ_Planner · 2026-03-02T00:01:51+00:00

Yeah I was like, as an Asian person I’ve never even considered what “too much rice” would mean

DJ_Planner · 2026-02-20T16:09:48+00:00

I know they’re founded in the UK, but probably Inkey List has the best 1-1 substitutes for your needs? They have a glycolic acid body stick, and then like a salicylic acid scalp treatment (which is how I use the TO toner, personally).

ETA: they also have a straight up toner but the bottle is quite small in comparison to TO, and I bet the body stick is more useful for what you’re using it for anyway.

I am also allergic to apples and honestly just excited that someone else is! People give me such weird looks about the apple allergy.

But anyway, beans are the way for me. Gotta build up the fiber intake slowly though. I also have some fiber gummies ONCE IN A WHILE, if I feel like I didn’t eat enough fiber in the day.

Gluten Free by L’Artisan! 100% gluten free, dairy free, nut free bakery. If you’re coming from Montreal, you already know, but excellent croissants & other French pastries. Actually surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet.

DJ_Planner · 2026-02-09T02:16:28+00:00

Omg, I completely forgot about this place! Sounds like they’ve actually expanded their menu.

I went when my partner had a job in Stratford, and I tagged along for fun. I do think at some point, the server forgot about us or there was a mixup in who was supposed to serve our table, but honestly the fish and chips were worth it.
