INTRODUCTION Having been to Vancouver for the first time with Ms Larsbaby on holiday, after a week there we went on to the east coast and Montreal. Montreal is a city I know quite well having been there three times before. I have friends there and so it's an obvious destination for me, perhaps less so for those with no connections there. It was Ms Larsbaby's first trip there, and we headed onwards to some other parts of the province of Quebec surrounding Montreal with my old friend Monsieur Montreal.

Smoked meat for the Montreal masses

Advantages: Superb smoked meat, genuine Montreal experience
Disadvantages: Not for vegetarians!

Review of Schwartz's Deli, Montreal

OOh 8 hour cream by Elizabeth Arden...

Advantages: Works for a variety of skin problems, fixes all beauty problms Ive ever found....
Disadvantages: ...Is rather oily and does resember a squeezable version of vaseline

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, appears to feature in pretty much every beauty and fashion magazine I had ever owned ... So being a sucker for advertisement and word of mouth fantastic ratings from friends I thought I'd give it a whirl .... ..... I purchased this while working at Eurotunnel so I did get discount standard price in general isn't to pricey for what the product does, Never has it been truer you get what you pay for!! The product is packaged in a simple but elegant white tube with an easy access screw lid - I personally love the understated design - Buying the smaller version myself so it fit in whatever handbag I would chose to carry, nights out or days out this is a versatile product which covers a variety of beauty faux pas' A little of this product is more than enough ...by little I mean a miniscule amount ...
