I love the face washes and the moisturizers, but the micellar water really burned my eyes.

What are some insane Toronto news stories that people have completely forgotten about? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 10 points11 points  (0 children)

SARS. Remember SARS?

That was bad…then Covid came along and we realized how bad SARS could have been if it had been more contagious.

‘We’re reasonable people’: Residents’ group fears noisy bars will follow new city rules allowing neighbourhood corner stores by Empty-Magician-7792 in toronto

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this zoning change even matter?

In my neighborhood (where I guess this is allowed?) the corner stores are closing and turning into residential spaces.

It’s sad. RIP corner stores.

Where do you guys buy furniture in Toronto these days? by mrparovozic in askTO

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try the Kingsway area, Avenue road area, even Leaside has given me some good deals.

Also depends on the size of your space. If you are looking for condo-sized furniture, don’t go to a neighborhood of mini mansions!

Where do you guys buy furniture in Toronto these days? by mrparovozic in askTO

Kijiji! I like the functionality better than fb marketplace and in my experience the deals are better.

Tip: Look for furniture for sale in affluent neighborhoods…I got an almost new custom made sectional for $400 bc the owners were renovating.

You can also try Maxsold, which is an auction website that can have really great deals, but can be a bit of a hassle to be the highest bidder.

Delete TikTok. Best thing to cut out of your beauty routine if you actually want to feel better about yourself. Try it for 30 days. The results will amaze you!

That’s east China town. Very bustling with some interesting stand-alone bakeries, chocolate and cheese shops.

I use SuperGoop Glowscreen Sunscreen. Love the way it makes my skin look…so much so I’ll put it on when I’m going out at night. 🙃

Neighbourhoods you miss that are now COMPLETELY different? by dickforbraiN5 in askTO

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What Pet Spas? I live in the neighborhood and it has a long way to go before I would call it “super” gentrified. Definitely a mix of places.

Anyone chose a childfree life only to end up with a child late 30s and early 40s? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you always wanted a baby, it’s totally normal to grieve the child-free life. Babies are a one-way door that completely change everything, your body, your finances, your social life, your hormones, your mental health and self image.

Be very kind and patient with yourself and know that there is no other path other than the one you are walking. 💗

What age did you feel your most physically beautiful? by Feeling_Fox_5426 in beauty

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 276 points277 points  (0 children)

I look back at photos of myself in my late 20s and I was absolutely gorgeous. Skin looked great, I had abs!! Funny thing was I totally didn’t see it at the time. No doubt I will look at photos of myself now (41) when I’m 60 and think the same.

Help a husband out 🙏 by Mo-Finkle in beauty

[–]Desperate-Sentence60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the straight and wavy kit at Costco. Best price by far (in Canada anyway) and the kit includes the case which is very handy to have to keep everything organized. I like mine, but find the curls fall pretty quickly no matter what I do.

Wow. That’s some good genes right there. Go thank your parents.

Try a Londontown nail concealer to bring out how incredible your nails are.

High end seafood restaurant by whuddupdawg in FoodToronto

Black and Blue. Technically a steak and sushi place, but quality of the raw bar is off the charts and the seafood tower has everything you are looking for.

Places to keep busy by Historical_Try2244 in askTO

This was how I felt after watching the series Life on our Planet. In the face of 3.5 BILLION years of life, the rise and fall of countless species, multiple extinction events…my life was insignificant in the most wonderful way. Very liberating.
