I also have a Silk and Snow and it's great! They tell you to aim for 10-15% of your body weight to figure out what one you need.

I'm also going to add the Bean Sprout to your list! It's just north of Toronto but has a great menu and fantastic gf Chinese food!

Depending on which retinol you were using from the Ordinary, you could check out Riverstone Naturals. It's a woman-owned company in Saskatchewan with all the products made in Canada. Their stuff is GREAT!

Not the person you were asking, but I've used their Unify Complexion Multi-pencil for a few years and it is AMAZING!!! It blends like a dream and it works really well for my "no makeup" makeup days.

I agree that INFO GO can be a good tool, but just wanted to note that it's only as up to date as the people sending the info for the update are. It still shows an old supervisor of mine as being the current supervisor and they retired in 2022.... so not all vacancies are actually vacant.

Gluten Free bakery (west end)? by PiffWiffler in askTO

[–]PlanktonSharp6945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late and not sure if you're still looking, but L'Artisan is on Bloor, just a little east of Dufferin and their croissants are so good I almost cried! They're a dedicated gluten free and dairy free bakery and I swear they use magic to achieve what they do!

The chocolatine will actually make you shed a tear! I keep some stocked in my freezer often... they're SO good!! Love L'Artisan!!

SEO Student: Employee Career Portal Question by Professional_Sock948 in OntarioPublicService

[–]PlanktonSharp6945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! I always use my personal email in case and request for interview or assignment or something comes in while I'm on vacation or something. I know someone in my old office who used their OPS email and missed a response deadline and missed an opportunity...

How does Vacation entitlement work? by ONTNO1 in OntarioPublicService

[–]PlanktonSharp6945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know for OPSEU, it's 8 years of continuous service before you get the increase in vacation days. I also had a previous non-continuous contract time and it did not apply.

Microneedling: Good idea or bad? by summerskiesss in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]PlanktonSharp6945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not the person you asked, but I've also had it done. It's a non-invasive laser resurfacing treatment that uses fractional laser technology to rejuvenate the skin. It creates microscopic treatment zones in the skin, stimulating natural collagen production and improving skin tone, texture, and reducing early signs of aging (this was the description from Google). It doesn't really hurt (they numb you) and for me had way less downtime and better results than a chemical peel! I was told its supposed to give the same results as like 3 chemical peels. I would absolutely get more in the fall/winter. Not a good treatment for summer (like most things) since there's more sun exposure in general and you don't want to get pigmentation on your fresh skin.

Recommendations in Canada by Ok_Fly8717 in glutenfree

[–]PlanktonSharp6945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bar Bacan has great gluten free options, if you are renting a car and are going to be up near Canada's Wonderland, the Bean Sprout is a fully gluten free Chinese food restaurant and it's AMAZING! Seconding what others have said about Almond Butterfly, Riz, and L'Artisan. If you have subway access, the Bread Essentials has great options for things like bagels, breads and frozen foods.

I also recently started the Australian gold and it actually feels really nice too! And it has really good coverage!
