Okay. I know. You might be asking yourself — what the heck is this contraption? Let me tell you a story before I get into why this is such a fun Father’s Day Gift.
Over Christmas break when I was back home in Newfoundland (Canada), we had a virtual reality set to play with, and it was absolutely unreal. Technology has definitely come a long way, and I am loving it. Comments from family and friends were mentioned that people who could possibly no longer travel for unforeseen circumstances could invest in one
Imagine how much fun this would be with all of the apps and places you could see. I looked through something similar over Chrtistmas, and it was a rollercoaster ride. It LITERALLY felt like you were on a coaster. Many people we showed it to, giggled uncontrollably and had to sit down before they fell over trying not to “fall off the rollercoaster”. It was hilarious! So much fun.
It’s so easy to use. You slide the Samsung phone into the Gear VR set and select the app and play with it. It’s fun.
I suppose it’s just hard to described unless you’re wearing it and experiencing it for yourself. But it was loads of fun and I definitely didn’t tire from it. I’m going to guess that this is going to be the next big thing with gamers, let alone just for fun at parties. It was really truly exciting and although you might think it would just be for gamers and whatnot. It’s not! We even had a tour of places in EUROPE. It was like you were there on a tour yourself. I mean, that’ll save you a ton of airfare + hotel costs, hah!
Best Buy is currently having a Samsung phone + Gear VR bundle for Father’s Day. So if it’s something your ol’ Daddio would enjoy, I’d definitely suggest! I mean – I know first hand how fun it was.
Mobile virtual reality has finally arrived. Be at the center of exciting games, watch the best of Hollywood in your own private cinema, socialize with friends, and so much more. The Samsung Gear VR drops you right in the action — and it’s only from Samsung and Oculus.
Free Samsung Gear VR, plus $50 of Virtual Reality content with purchase, or lease, and activation of select Samsung Smartphones. Offer is good from June 5 til June 18 online or in Best Buy stores.
Back in April I was invited to attend their grand opening, but unfortunately it fell on the day after Alfie was attacked by another dog. I cancelled on them, and ended up going in to check it out for myself a little while later. You might’ve seen the army of photos I posted on 
The one-bites was my favourite. They’re a circular shaped pastry with different berries as the toppings, and inside was a creamy donut-like filling. Almost like a boston cream donut from Tim Hortons. Heh! Ohhh delicious city. Brings back great memories looking at these pics. Can you tell we love our sweets?
This isn’t your traditional coffee shop (although I like to title the post that, because their lattes here at Paris Baguette are amazing and have designs in them), it’s more of a French-inspired cafe with delicious pastries, cakes, donuts, sandwiches and the like. It’s a serve-yourself style cafe which is great because you can take as long as  you want picking out your goodies.
The newest Paris Baguette is my favourite one of the few that I’ve visited, mainly for the gorgeous aesthetics — and the friendly staff (not to say I haven’t had good customer service elsewhere). I love the wooden accent wall, and the huge dining tables where you could perhaps meet a new friend over coffee. Since I usually go to coffee shops on my own, I like to sit in an area where it’s open and I can present myself in a way that I’m friendly, and eager to chat. Perhaps that’s just the Canadian in me, but that’s what I liked to do.
You should try it out if you’re in the area, and definitely pick up one of their vanilla lattes — they taste amazing plus you can’t beat the cute designs in the drink. I got a swan!
Last month I went on a bit of a Sephora shopping spree, and placed 4 different orders (with one product in each order so I could benefit from all the deluxe samples). One of those orders contained the new YSL Mascara that everyone seems to be talking about. I had to try it out for myself too. The

A better look at the before and after. You can tell the entire lash is simply saturated with intense colour, and while I’m not sure how pigmented the other colours are on the lash, I am pretty happy with the colour payoff. It boosts the volume in my lash and creates an ungodly (in a good way!) amount of length. I’m diggin it.
Will I repurchase?Â
