"One sure sign of spring in Toronto? The weekend blocks of our wall calendar are totally crammed with scribbled lists of things we'd like to do. For starters, some of our favourite bands are starting to ramp up their warm-weather touring schedules."
Bookworm Heaven: New Reads for Spring
1 recommendation
"We're not afraid to admit it: We're total bookworms at heart. Cruising bookstores for undiscovered authors and staying up way too late to finish so-good-you-don't-want-them-to-end stories rank right up there with going to prom and first dates with major crushes."
Sleep Deprivation
1 recommendation
"Looking for a remedy to help with poor school performance? Are you experiencing weight gain, acne and sad-looking skin? Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a medical breakthrough with a new good-for-everything drug. The answer is good old-fashioned sleep."

1 recommendation
"Some fashions are better left in the past. (Hello, jelly shoes.) But others just get cooler with age. Take Doc Martens, for example. The iconic Brit brand has been dressing alternatively fashionable feet for decades in everything from plain black shoes to paisley boots."
Lush & Lavish for Eco-Friendly Manicures
1 recommendation
"How great is it when something that soothes our beauty-minded self also makes our eco-minded side happy? Like finding out that we can get a professional manicure at a gorgeous salon without having to resort to all sorts of bad-for-us and bad-for-the-earth chemicals."
Spring Retail Therapy
1 recommendation
"This weekend, we’re putting on oversized shades to walk around the Plateau – freshly pressed vegetable juice in hand – and going to a spring sale before meeting friends on a terrace for a scoop or two of pistachio gelato. Feels like summer already!"

Review: Sunless Bronzers
1 recommendation
"Our Editor Xania test-drives the hottest bronzing moisturizers on the market. “Typically, people laugh at me when I say I feel pasty. But it’s no laughing matter when we feel the winter blues of sunless skies or being stuck in hibernation. Often times, we need a little pick me up – even if it’s through a sunless tanning lotions.”"
Pride, Prejudice and Zombies
1 recommendation
"You know how a great pair of jeans can be dressed up or dressed down? That's kind of how we think of Jane Austen and her novels. Packed with interesting characters and story lines that happen to fit modern romantic comedy conventions, they don't just work as faithful period pieces, but also as modern adaptations with a twist -- or two."
Eco Clothes at Green is Black
1 recommendation
"The best thing about the eco-clothing store Green Is Black is that we'd be shopping here even if their products weren't all reclaimed, recycled, organic or vintage. Lured by enviably well dressed mannequins in the window, we recently spent an unexpected hour inside the shop, trying on adorable dresses, t-shirts and skirts for spring and summer"
Summer Jobs Part 2
1 recommendation
"Looking for the perfect summer job is a lot like buying a new pair of shoes. It’s all about personal style and finding that perfect fit. If only it were as easy to find a job as it is to find designer stilettos. But if you plan ahead and prepare now, you’ll be much closer to landing the job of your dreams."
Test-driving Beauty Products at Elixir Organic Spa
1 recommendation
"We figure the smartest thing to do is to try before we buy, which is why we're booked for a Beauty Express Facial at Elixir Organic Spa, 766 King St. W., Unit 5. The spa uses only natural ingredients (we love the tagline on their home page: Would you eat your moisturizer?) and they get that we're busy girls on a budget, too."

It's at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 255 Front St. W., and runs from April 2 to 5. While we're there we'll check out some free classes and demos (there are more than 50 to choose from) and do a little shopping, too (nothing like a new yoga outfit to inspire our workouts)."
