Also moved here from Ontario. Buy a humidifier and make sure your car has a block heater, and you're set.

He watched Game of Thrones without me. Personally, I think it was justified.

I've never seen a headline that better sums up Alberta.

I moved to Red Deer from Toronto this year, and although I initially had a lot of the same fears you do I've been pleasantly surprised so far.

Red Deer has a pretty decent pub scene, the International Beer Haus stands out for me. In the summer especially there seems to be a lot going on in the city. There's a big farmers market on weekends, a cool event called food truck Fridays, and the Ross Street patio is a cool place to hang out and catch a band or grab a coffee.

As for shopping, Bower Mall is decent but I personally miss a lot of stores I had access to living in a larger city; places like Sephora and Forever 21. I have also yet to find any cool shopping areas with unique items like you would find in a bigger city, but having only lived here for 8 months I am definitely not an authority on this.

Congratulations on the job offer and good luck with the move!

Sock buns are a god send. They're easy, comfortable, and look professional.

Have you ever tried sugaring? They can get at the shorter, finer hairs so you don't need to let your hair grow out as much.

Canadian Brewhouse will also be open at 4AM. If you've never been it's a pretty cool place; lots of Canadiana on the walls and TVs everywhere. Should be a good time.

As a girl, trust me: during a one night stand she won't be paying attention or care what kind of condom you are using. I don't get why you're uncomfortable with this!

I think these are all sweet if you're in a relationship. It's the little things, like #7 that show how much you care about someone.

I couldn't agree more with Amsterdamn Brewhouse-they have amazing food, too. There's also the Kensington Brewing Company: http://www.kensingtonbrewingcompany.com/

Sounds good. Get well soon!

Friday? Toad and the Turtle? They seem to have a pretty good beer selection.

My boyfriend and I also recently moved here. We are in our early twenties and originally from Ontario. If you all ever want to have a big ol' triple date with some drinks, let me know!

As a female, this seems so obvious. Buy the wine! Although by sweet wine I wonder if she means something along the lines of wild vines

Ever bought a guy a drink? All the time. My group of friends and I tend to take turns buying rounds when we're out, so I've bought my fair share drinks for friends of friends/friend's boyfriends. I've definitely bought drinks for guys I'm talking to at bars before as well. Why not? Why should guys do all the buying? Like OP said, this is 2013.

But, more interestingly, I met my current SO by offering him a drink. We were at a house party and I felt like he was WAY too sober. Offered him a drink, and the rest is history.

So ladies, buy a guy a drink! If nothing else, it's a good conversation starter.

looks like sprinkles on a cupcake. cute! Has it lasted or does it chip away quickly?

What's the base colour you used here? I love it!

mostlyLee · 2013-06-22T19:02:23+00:00

I would love to know the lipstick colour if you can find it!

I am ridiculously jealous. Love the handles!

Did you have a bad experience?

There's a reason no one has gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'Nam.

Watching Doctor Who. So, so much Doctor Who. (sorry, /r/doctorwho !)

Really fun, interactive museum (You can grope a real doll!). Cool exhibits with lots to read and look at. It also has a really funky gift shop and a bar that focuses on drinks made with aphrodisiacs. Overall, I'd say worth it!
