| Pocket Square - Brooks Brothers Shirt - Wordsmiths Pants- Betty Barclay Shoes - Joe Fresh |
I remember buying all three of these pieces. The shirt is from Model Citizen and I'd been eyeing it all summer. Finally, I mustered up the courage to buy it and had cash in my wallet so Julian gave me a deal. It's one of my favourite pieces in my closet. The pants I purchased because I was looking for something "interesting." I find pants my most difficult purchase, they never fit right, my body shape isn't conducive to North American tailoring. These, on the other hand, fit like a glove, and I got them for $5.99 at the thrift shop! The shoes, again, from the thrift shop, but I got these on my 20th birthday. I used birthday money on a few items but these boots were my favourite purchase by far, I still have them.

Frustrated when walking into shoppers and all you
can see is cosmetics with labels longer than the Declaration of Independence?
Looking for a boutique that carries only all
natural products, but won't leave your bank account dryer than the Sahara
desert? Welcome to The Cure Apothecary. A beautiful shop
dedicated to giving your skin the healthy glow it deserves. Products here have
been brought in from all around the world and their labels are short and
concise.
I sat down with Natasha Goel and asked her a simple
question. "What made you want to open this
shop?" "I was sick of never
getting results," were the first words out of her mouth and with
that, we were kindred spirits. She also pointed out to me all the fun and
beautiful items in her boutique. Soaps, body bars, hair shampoos, skin scrubs (my
personal favorite,) all from companies I didn't recognize, but was easily
excited to learn about.
Natasha is clearly on the right path and health junkies, myself
excluded, will be barreling down her door to get their hands on some Barber and Fritz
(from Vancouver) Triumph and Disaster, Old Factory
Soap Company, and North Standard.
Like you, I loath Shopper’s and the only time I go in is to mail things
to my mother, or grab some late night munchies, other than that, I avoid it
like a plague. When it comes to skin care I would much rather walk an extra
mile and get the best Toronto can offer, from no other than, The Cure
Apothecary.
