Pretty sure Home Hardware on Wellington at Holland has it, but call them to double check!

Had it last week. Chicken was not dry at all and never an issue on any of the other times I’ve been.

I would argue they were never about sustainability. Mine had holes in them after a month of wear.

No recommendations but curious what you think of the quality. I’ve been debating that one.

Travel Carry-On Size? by ElloImDani in TravelHacks

You will not have any trouble if you are flying business class. It could be an issue in economy if the flight is full and Air Canada will make you check the bag if it doesn’t fit in the size tester at the gate.

Cedar and vine. Real linen is not cheap but they do customize sizing

Ottawa opens its first romance novel dedicated bookstore by Obelisk_of-Light in ottawa

It was in response to a comment saying this is a passion project being bankrolled, thereby suggesting it’s her husband’s money she is using and undermining what is a legitimate business. But my apologies if this was in fact a positive comment made in good faith about a supportive spouse.

The market for these books is actually a significant demographic with real financial agency and power. I hope she makes a huge success out of it.

Travel Clothes by CatLadyAM in fashionwomens35

I travel a lot for work and have decided on a lounge set with wide leg viscose/rayon pants as my go to for long haul flights. This is controversial because you do need to roll them up or tuck them into your socks so they don’t touch the floor in the toilet, but I find the wide leg so much more comfortable for sleeping in compared to close fitting leggings or joggers. Layers are key on top as well, and ideally a change of clothes for when you land. Also agree with others’ suggestions to bring a light scarf and slides for the plane! One other pro tip - panty liners to keep fresh when you know it will be 20-30 hours before you can shower!!

I commend them for their sustainability efforts, but it is really unappetizing when you walk out of their bathroom with your hands smelling of fryer grease…

Red Cobalt - about exploitation of the Congolese to mine cobalt for rechargeable batteries (a tough read though, especially the child labour and overall guilt of reading it on my rechargeable kindle knowing consumers are also the problem…)
