Fallen Shoes Fallin Apart

FALLEN SHOES REVIEW



Last month the wife & I rented a car & went up to Vaughan Mills shopping mall & outlets. It was there that I picked myself up a pair of Fallen T-Guns from West 49 inside the mall for $49.99, on sale. The only stylish black shoe that was suitable for both work (mandatory) & social life.

Well, I got this shoe in mid February. I wore the shoe on daily basis for nothing out of the ordinary - didn't even wear the shoe for skateboarding. Wore the shoes to work, on the subway, walking down the street, taking out the dog. Like I said, nothing out of the ordinary. I will say, it is winter here, but that should have nothing to do with how destroyed this shoe became. I noticed my feet becoming wet in the first week & a half of March. I never investigated, since I assumed the water was leaking in.. how could my shoes that aren't even a month old already have a hole in them? I just bought myself a great pair of Element shoes for work & a delicious green pair of DVS shoes - both were the same price of those Fallen shoes, $49.99. My advice, don't buy Fallen. Kept the rocks in the shoes, keepin' it real.

FALLEN FOOTWEAR.
(key words, if you please)

So are Fallen shoes any good? No.
Will I buy Fallen shoes again? No.
This was my Fallen shoes review.
These are my Fallen shoes pictures.
Remember, this happened in about a month.
Judge for yourself.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath Review


Burt's Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath Review.

First off, I don't think I have ever typed a sentence with more B's in my life. Secondly, as an adult I love to use baby products more often than products intended for adults. Why do you ask? Most baby products are made to be gentler on the skin & so I often use creams, baby wipes & lotions.

I had a great opportunity to try out a bottle of Burt's Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath. My discount bottle of grape scented no name bubble bath was down to it's last legs & I was in the market for a new, interesting bubble bath. It is recommended that you use 3-4 capfuls directly under the running water, but I have found 2 have done the trick! After the tub is full, when you get in, you'll be able to notice the softness of the bubbles. Being 98.03% natural, the bubble bath does not dry out my skin like many of the scented bubble baths on the market that are full of nasty unmentionables that 98.03% of the population cannot pronounce. Burt's Bees Baby Bee Bubble Bath has long lasting bubbles, yet another thing most of them other bubble baths don't have. Usually half way through the bath the bubbles have fizzled out, but using The Bees they tend to last right until then. A great thing for babies & adults alike is this bubble bath is tear free.
This plant-based cleansing complex is combined with nourishing soy protein to wash baby’s skin without irritation. Glycerin is added to moisturize and a touch of vanilla extract helps calm and comfort.

You come out of the bath feeling calm & relaxed, smelling great & with soft skin. I highly recommend this to everybody, with or without babies.

Snorestop Review!

SnoreStop Review!

This pro
duct first came to my attention when I was browsing the shelves of a natural health shop in Kesington Market. For the last several months I have embarrassingly enough developed a snoring problem. I think it began when I got my nostril pierced, but what do I know? I swore when I was younger I got Meningitis from a plum. So, the wife took a photo with his Blackberry so I could so some research online. I hadn't found many reviews online & the ones I had found were all conflicting, some people it worked for, some it did not. After awhile I had forgotten all about it.. until I saw the product in the clearance section at Winners. Nice, huh? It had a price of $6.99. Bought a bottle & gave it a try. It works! We were at the point that the wife couldn't sleep, at all, he'd go nights without a wink of sleep. He'd also wake me up multiple times & we both because absolutely exhausted.

They have different products, which are supposed to work better when joining them all together, but may work just fine alone. In my case, the product works! I do not spray it right before bed like the bottle says, but I do spray it between 30-45 minutes before bed. Out of the 7 nights I have been taking it, I have snored once. That one time I had taken the spray a couple minutes before bed. If you are a bed sharer of a snorer, I recommend giving the product a try. $20 is work a great night of sleep, trust me. Sleeping with a snorer, so I've heard, can be absolute bed hell, so, invest, give your partner a good nights sleep.

South St. Burger Review!

South St. Burger Co Review!

Lately I have been a big Hero Burger fan. I'm not going to lie. One opened up in the gay village here in Toronto, took over the spot of a cafe I disliked, right on the corner! That place is BUSY! Anyways, mostly a big Hero Burger fan because my boyfriend loves the place & they use 100% Canadian Angus Beef. Now, ever since I got the invite from BzzAgent, I have compared South St. Burgers to Hero Burger - even before I had been to South St. Before I got the invite I had never heard of the place either.

Now, I took the Yonge line up to Eglinton to visit my closet location. The travel time is quite a distance for a quick, enjoyable, delicious meal, but that's OK. When I entered the place I noticed the atmosphere was quite swell & the trays & booths gave me a '50s diner vibe - which is excellent! The dim lighting in the restaurant is a plus as well. Florescent lights in your eyes which you're eating is never fantastic. Took me awhile to decide what I wanted to eat, but I ended up with ordering a original burger with cheese. The beef is from small co-op farms that practice natural farming. South St. claim that "better beef does make better burgers." I have to agree fully, 100%. Throw Hero Burger out the window & replace it with South St. Burgers are moist, tender & they cook it the way you want! A great thing is being able to see them cook your buger on the grill. It ads a little excitement to the meal. Their real cheeses are fantastic. I got the swiss on my burger & I tried a little piece of the side before it melted & it was one of the best pieces of swiss I ever had. They offer 25 toppings! Many toppings which aren't offered at your regular burger joint. Not only was the buger made infront of you, but the burger is topped right infront of you as well. Then it's gracefully placed on your steel, circle tray. Another great thing - FREE REFILLS!

As you may or may not already know South St. is owned by the same company who owns New York Fries. As you should know, NYF has legendary fries, poutine & from what my boyfriend says, mouth watering onion rings (not an onion ring fan). The sides that you can choose you already know taste swell. I say go to the nearest South St. Burger Co & try yourself a combo. I'll be bringing my boyfriend this weekend when we go to an estate sale. I plan on trying the chicken burger. Will let you know how it is. I was blessed with some 'buy one combo, get the second free' coupons, so besides my boyfriend I'll be bringing a few friends all on different trips. I already asked another friend of mine & we'll be going next week. She's never heard of the place either. I think she's going to like it.

Now, would I go again? Definitely would plan on it, but only if I am in the area, which is not too often. I could see myself visiting more often is there was a location in walking distance, which is a location right downtown Toronto. I hope there would be one soon! One thing before I go - the staff was very uninviting & cold. A definite con. I have never felt like more than a # when in a NYF & now a South St. Burger Co.
