The Chopstick Theory 🥢: It was first introduce to me by my little sister and eating popcorn. Its used to help slowing down your eating behavior. This week at work I used it for salad and I liked it. Its great for etiquette practice and unlearning habits. The slower you eat the more your brain can comprehend that you actually aren’t hungry thus you can be more Intune to what your body really needs. Its also more enjoyable … This can also be used with banter and private information. Chopstick theory... Don’t shove it all in, and say everything .. take your time … chose your words and speak slowly …. Please comment Etiquette table manners in the comment section down below. The Chopstick Theory = one day at a time <3 …

Observations Of The Week:

The Brandy Melville Line is Out Actually Out Of Control on Queen Street West

You need to line up 15 minutes before it opens. Its like this at all hours…

  • I saw a women at the gym who was using her phone in the Steam Room…. not the sauna but steam room. Do you think phones should be allowed in the sauna room? 🧖‍♀️Comment below. Steam room is alarming… more for the water damage to the phone lol. Risky risky business. When do we draw the line with our attachment to our phones ?

  • Seeing more people on Instagram having the balls to put up stories for things they want. Like “Who has a Yankees jersey for sale”, “sublet starting october 1st”. Our instas are so full of ppl we know and consumers. SO if you need something, use Instagram for this … that’s a healthy way to engage with IG.

N2S (note 2 self): you can sleep in your bed for the rest of your life …. go dancing. don’t follow the crowd… as GS would say. go with good friends and find a good place. Deer Lady in Toronto above parlour on saturday night hits.. unexpected needed night. Park Avenue in Yorkville is also pretty fire for dancing and I like that dark loud but intimate vibes … kinda like a ACH (Anything can happen) vibe…. yolo

Fashion SECTION 🛍️: “Men who wear tommy bahamas have given up on themselves” ouch.

  • John Varvotos https://www.johnvarvatos.com/ = for all the rock n roll cool dads who “pass” time in Malibu. I like it. The rock star silver jewelry is always present, noticeable, but not in your face. And good Sunglasses. When I was SBH (ST BARTHS) Ryk said that men who wear Tommy Bahamas have given up on themselves” . I can see this point for sure. I think tommy Bahamas signifies vacations in all-inclusive, fishing, hamburgers, hotdogs, all that jazz. John V and James Pearse is giving malibu, rockstar dads, who know the difference between their steaks, but probably care more about where they are eating then learning where the food comes from, but either way they like to reminisce and definitely would get banged up at a weekday concert. I don’t necessarily think the Tommy Bahama vibe is bad. They do have cool Tshirts but that’s it. I wouldn’t ever advise my dad to get a button up or pants, but they have good graphic tees… so i support Tommy Bahama Graphic Tees. My dad looks fire in the graphic tees - so I respect it

  • Some fashion brands for working corporate women; Check out … Jones New York, they have the nicest women blouses that give a Jennifer Anniston or Rachel Green vibe. Club Monaco for basic tee’s, Aritzia for dress pants… maybe a blazer but careful you don’t want to look like every other girl. Cartolina …. so perf so good pricey but sooooo gooood. The Peggy … instant tap. Sometimes you just can’t check the price …. sato (sorry about that one) https://cartolinanantucket.com/en-ca?srsltid=AfmBOopEmtkEJQt1NC392hpqlbSXIH-yA28a810R5OLl-LuUX_ytXoPL

  • Men - If your looking for new outfits id take a look at John Varvatos, James Pearse, Club Monaco, FORGET ABOUT ZARA. Zara is terrible bad, and your skin deserves more. Seriously Environmental Law … first thing is banning whatever Zara is doing. Please correct me if I’m wrong but have you really ever bought something from Zara and worn it more then 3 times and been like “wow this quality is such good quality”. Zara really needs to re-evaluate their quality. It could be so good… … … Rag & bone, I remember being in here with my ex-boyfriend in Venice Beach and they had really nice clothes and solid lasting material. https://scotchandsoda.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoroVT1E5F04H6cELrMtNkRpYZUwpjiWCuFe-KSwLhA1sUBjCyoL Scotch and soda is great too. Any boys reading, definitely take a look and purchase before your next date or night out wtb (with the boys). Full creds to my ex’s dad, his style and rockstar yet sophisticated malibu father look was giving. Its like the grateful dead, rockstar, successful but Joshua tree California mix.

  • Kith has a cool feeling t-shirt. Literally is feels light and cool on your skin. So they’ve done well here. https://ca.kith.com/

Cute second hand designer clothes. This Jacket could be the most perfect real estate saint barths outfit. i’m obsessed. 🚢⚓

La vie est belle = Life is Beautiful

& SO ARE YOU <3

New Words: are you 6/6 this week?

  1. Inept: Having or showing no skill; clumsy

  2. Hedonism: the pursuit of pleasure ; sensual self-indulgence

  3. Cascade: small water fall, pour it downward. If a boss of yours fires an employee and uses “cascade” in the notice of termination email to your team, do you think the use of this word is fitting or rude ? Comment section

  4. Arduous: Involving or requiring Strenuous effort; something difficult and tiring

  5. Commiseration:I will say congratulations rather than commiserations” if you were to leave your job willingly many could say congratulations, if you were let go, many could say commiserations.

  6. Anomaly: something that deviates from the standard or norm.

Law Section / Homework ⚖️:

Perjury is the offence of willfully telling an untruth in a court after having taken an oath or affirmation.

When artist future mentioned in his song “I lied on the oath” .. me and my colleague thought great how would I defend this in court. Answer: One way to defend in court is referencing the Artistic Expression Defense: Argue that the lyrics are a form of artistic expression, not a literal confession. Similar to how people use the saying “I’d kill for you” a text message like that could also be used against someone, and not meant intentional but yet said and used to show their loyalty to said individual. 💭

WINNER 🏆: BARRYS N BRUNCH $11 … SO GOOD @ Fuel Bar in Yorkville. You don't need to do a class to get one... you can just walk into the fuel bar. Worth the price 

Coffee Shop of The Week: ☕︎

Aritzia Coffee in Yorkville, Toronto- similar approach as Ralph Laurens coffee shops. holy if i could close my eyes and think about my dream life …. it would be a closet filled with Ralph Lauren. Head to toe dripped. Ralph Lauren is unrivaled in my opinion. Although I’ve yet to fall under the French fashion world abys. However, the seating is not the best, and it could be so much more. The coffee legit gives you a buzz. You’ll know you had this coffee after you finish it. If they had one downtown Toronto, I’d be a VIP … no guilt spending money on Aritzia coffee...zero. Its that good.

Cafe Ambiance: 6.5 … tough outside patio lowkey i added 0.5 because the tweak is so good and also Yorkville is Yorkville

Coffee: 9.7 … ask for vanilla iced late with only half the amount of syrup … they also don’t prompt you to tip which I’ve never seen at a Toronto Cafe before.

NEVERLAND - Writing Cafe on Peter Street & Queen Street

This is a new book store and writing cafe on Peter Street and King. I wasn’t obsessed with the focus vibe in here, but … I feel like a night time writing and wine in the winter here would be a vibe. I feel this place only gets good starting November 1st. Its NEW tho. The tea was around 5$ but go if you want to experience the wine bar and writing https://www.instagram.com/neverland.to/?hl=en

Concert: The Killers Concert -6 rating. Didn’t love him, and he started with Mr Brightside… he did say some inspiring stuff like something about asking for what you want and getting what you want… “you get what you ask for” …. N2S people can’t read your mind. “I was barefoot @ Greta can fleet in the pit at Darian Lake” - John Varvatos Dads at the Killers concert in the Pit @ Budweiser Stage.

Love Section 💌: “Her ROOTS WERE AWFUL” & facetime him/her

Red Flag 🚩

If you see him drinking that white claw … its a confirmed sign .. RUN

I feel like I can understand a touch of this, but I wouldn’t say to the ladies reading being fully submissive is the way to go. I would suggest asserting confidence but also letting your partner make decisions and following. Personally, its nice to follow orders but at the same time make sure your following because your downnnn, be careful ow you play this one.

Okay … What makes a “good wife” ? .. comment section below.

i want my wife to be submissive” …. mhm

This fall is giving boyfriend.
But seriously, if you moved to New York City would you still think of him? I can confidently say if I moved to NYC tomorrow I wouldn’t think about any past lovers. Genuinely. Your environment, boredom, etc. could be making you feel like you still lust someone that you don’t. Its the same way living 1 km difference in a city can change your entire experience and taste of a city. Where you live is important… do your research

***Leave them on delivered twice. for a reset.

Facetime: start facetiming one another … use your voice 🎀🧸🫧🩷

I lol’d at this text. “Her roots were awful” 😂 so specific. Although my roots may also be chirpable . When you live in Toronto, specifically downtown and you went to Queen’s or Western ….. almost nothing is a “sign”. Yes n no. Id average that when you leave your house in Toronto its like 75% chance you see at least two people you know. SO there is a sense of community downtown but I almost wish there was a development that was formed for university students post grad, this could be quite the development. It would be cool to go to your 11th floor meeting room and see a bunch of new grads working on business endeavors studying, and then networking. Kinda like a private residences’…. but for alumni 🤔 thoughts? comment below

NICKNAMES: SPICE IT UP WITH A NICKNAME.

If you don’t have a nick name for your fling or partner … make it up next time something funny happens. I use to refer to my friend nick as “sato couch” literally I didn’t even know his name until months later. I met him at a party house called “Sato house” sorry about that one .. still wish i tried their selzter when I saw it in the fridge.. rip. He was sleeping on the couch. The nickname just came about. Its just funny banter. Nick names are jokes. and nicknames for guys is like code talk. Me and my girlfriends reference this old flame as “potato chip”. My friends will say “have you seen potato chip” LOL its just for SNG (shits n gigs). Dudes can do this too …. “farm girl” its just banter. Especially if your into a guy but your not dating and want to be “chill” you can kinda lighten up the situation when your jealous of something. Instead of getting mad and creating a tension around “the other women” you can GAF (give a f**) and make a nick name like ”ohhhhh ur rave girlfriend ehhh” stuff like that. You kinda have to make it up as you go. If your following after that, respects. Thinking this would be much easier on a podcast …. then to explain on text format.

“bry bry” i love that. Payner, is pretty solid too. Do you have a nickname, or better yet what's your most favorite nickname? Drop it in the comment box below.  Re-connected with good friends is so beautiful and up-lighting. My friend GS said “maybe you were just with the wrong people”. That is a fact. Same place with the right people can change everything... The Toronto Dating scene is tuff but I have hope for Toronto. I feel like a summer in new york city could do some severe damage... in the best way possible

Toronto Green Drinks - Real Estate & Green Sustainability: 🌲🌱🔨🏠🏙️

  • Networking Event: Every last Wednesday of the month … there’s a green sustainability construction development event at Grace O'Malley’’s https://www.greendrinks.org/Toronto

For the middle aged or above 50 crowd… if there are any reading … its not too late. Get dressed, get ready, and go to Yorkville. Go to Zaza’s coffee. https://www.instagram.com/zazaespresso/?hl=en Sunny day, glasses on, sit and enjoy the vibe.. and if your drawn to someone or something.. go for it… say “hi” … introduce your self …. if you don’t know what to do, smile and give a compliment. And then go from there …. be fearless … and wear your nicest shades, it gives more of lure when you decide to lower them for the eye contact

What restaurant do you think could fit well here ?

Something to notice is how on Spadina to Bay Street in Toronto there's almost no good restaurants (besides king taps and earls?) and no good coffee shops along the way. For being the “heart” of Toronto, I’ve never once gravitated towards Gabby’s or Second Cup coffee. There’s so much potential in this area, but I strongly feel some re-branding would be good. Considering they just opened the Nobu on Mercer Street which is a side street in between John Street and King, its saddening to live in this area and think about what could be and what clearly isn’t. A really great coffee shops from the US could move here and do well. So many young people live in the surrounding environment and our only option for coffee is really Starbucks…. I did hear a Chipotle is moving into the old Aroma shop on Charlotte Street near Spadina and off King Street. Even if Aritzia opened up a cafe here, its is close enough to the Queen Street Location and could be the launch of their coffee success. I was under the impression everyone knew about Aritzia Coffee, but sitting outside in Yorkville, id say 50/50 conversations I heard in passing were “have you tried it yet?” odd since me and some of my friends have been drinking it since 2022 summer. There’s definitely no advertising for this cafe online or in Toronto. For anyone reading that doesn’t know what Aritzia is, its kind of like the go to clothing store for many young girls and grown women, it started popping off in 2013 with TNA. Every “cool” girl had a sweater or 5 lol. TNA leggings and TNA sweaters with moccasins from soft moc. That was the style. To be very honest, I don’t see it going up, nor down…. but who wants to wear a super puff this winter … serious question its in your closet but do you still resonate with it 😬 ? https://www.aritzia.com/en A working or creative cafe for Artizia consumers would do well here, considering its at the start of Financial District.

Porsche Of The Week: The Green Way

Boneless Wing Specials in Toronto

Hooters Wing Special on Wednesdays John Street & Adelaide is actually jokes and not bad $11.99. They say 10 boneless wings but you definitely get 15. The rooftop is hidden and its a great view of the CN tower plus it super quiet, but the service is really slow lol… I guess this is considered Real Estate section since if someone inquired this hooters … they would have a pretty sick rooftop patio. I’d only get the boneless wings here, and ask for everything to be cooked for a few extra minutes.


Would you buy this ?
