Absence ..does it really make the heart grow fonder...

I must apologize for being absent, I can explain some of it with the fact that my computer went on the fritz, then my camera wouldn't upload after the computer was fixed, but mostly life just gets in the way of doing a daily blog.

I got to thinking about absence, and the old saying that it does "make the heart grow fonder".
I think there is truth in this, as I now think fondly of places I have not visited for awhile or people that have been out of sight.
Even if my last time seeing or visiting a person or place didn't stand out as being the last time I would visit for awhile. ;}



I now can branch into other areas that I have been meaning to review, such as:
Clothing Stores-

Jeans Xpress on Yonge and Dundonald they are a cut rate clothing store with some unique pieces and really great prices, brand name jeans for $30.00 very cool print shirts for $19.00 and up, men's wear and some women's wear. This shop often has $10.00 blowouts -keep an eye on them as I think they get some really cool accessories too.

Discounted Shoes

Directly across the street is the Balisi outlet store..great prices on hard to find end of season shoes..but what I like most is the personal service they offer, knowledgeable staff are unobtrusive yet still very helpful.

Hairstylists

Hairstyling, Fuss studio on Queen and Leslie
This salon is run by 2 of the coolest women on Queen Street (East or West), they carry a great line of hair care products produced in Toronto and Italy.
Stacey is the hair artist that gave this writer the best hairstyle he has had, plus others who I have recommended have all commented on how great a cut/colour they got from this salon. These gals are known for their expertise colour application.

Located at 1093 Queen Street East in Toronto - M4M1K7 Tel # 416-469-0006
