Sushi Buffet at Aji Sai

I went to a sushi buffet on Queen street called Aji Sai. The prices are decent during the lunch hours, it was $12.99. The sushi is pretty much a hit or a miss, you either love it or hate (dislike) it.

Black dragon roll, green dragon roll and Spicy California

Yam tempera roll, Rainbow California roll, and Dynamite roll

We also ordered Yaki Udon, Miso Soup, and Sushi Pizza. My favourite were the Rainbow California roll, Yaki Udon and the Dynamite roll. I REALLY DID NOT LIKE THEIR SUSHI PIZZA. It was the worst I've ever tasted before... and I was craving that the most too T__T It was dry deep fried rice with sloppy salmon chunks, there clearly wasn't enough sauce on it either =__=

Mini Buffalo Haul

My Mom woke me up around 9:00am today and told me that we were going shopping in Buffalo, NY. 
I was like.. what? Now?! (I was dead tired, I usually sleep in till 10-11am)
It takes about 1-2 hours to get from T.O to Buffalo, we got lost in the process of finding a mall. Since I didn't know the actual name of the mall it was difficult to find. (I never went cross the border that's why ^^;)
We went to Boulevard Mall but that wasn't the RIGHT mall and it took a while to get there because the only thing my mom's friend could remember was that the mall had a Macy's. (Aren't Macy's REALLY common over there?) Well like 30-40 minutes later.. I found the actual mall that they wanted to go to.. it was the Walden Galleria Mall =__=

I also went to the Coach in the Canada One Outlets, when coming home. I didn't see much I liked... well there wasn't much of a price difference.  I went to the Victoria's Secret as well because of the 75% off I heard about from other bloggers O_O. We don't have that BIG of a sale here... but most of the stuff was GONE! 
(Left - Right: OPI Nail Polish in Samoan sand, Hopelessly in love, Panda-monium pink, VS liquid foundations in Light 10 and Medium 10, VS lipsticks in Grape fruity and Poppy-sicle, Coach wristlet)

**I wasn't sure which foundation to buy so I bought both light 10 and medium 10... The medium is too dark =__= but I guess I could used it to mix into my foundations to match my summer shade. Also the VS lipstick in Grape fruitty smells so yummy :3

A Robins Nest Outside my Window

The little robins decided to make their home outside one of the second floor windows. It started when I was still on vacation in China.. so it was a span of 5-6 weeks I think? Now the baby robins that hatched not too long ago, have flown away and I guess they now have a much bigger nest.

Mama Robin: What are you looking at? (No eggs at the moment)

A week or two later, little blue eggs! (The third egg came later o__0) 

They hatched a few day later when I came back from China. They have BIG mouths o.o

Two weeks later .. they are all grown up (kind of)! They don't have the red bellies yet ^^ 
One of the birdies took longer to learn how to fly, it was sad.. the siblings they it all alone in the nest for 2 days. The Mama and Papa robins would still come back to feed it though. (I watched the baby robin, it kept looking out like it wanted to fly with the rest). It finally flew today and... hasn't come back.

They are all gone now ='( probably in a bigger home.


**Photo credits to Bek - Also.. the pictures are super blurry and stuff because of all the dust near the windows >__> and... all the bird crap the robins left us =__=

Biking at the Toronto Island

I don't go to the Island often but when I do, I usually stick to the centre because it's the closest and the majority of the 'attractions' are there.  I went with 2 friends and we made our way to the ... Faraway Farm? (I'm not sure of that is the right name) located in Centreville, of course it smells a bit but manageable. We saw geese, ducks and... peacocks (o__0) roaming around. 

Also... Beware of the red wing black birds, they attack people, so my advice is do not go near trees! There was an innocent guy walking with his GF and the bird swooped from behind and pecked his head O_O. My friend was almost attacked by one when we were playing around and taking pictures... It tried to attack her head(?) 3 times..We ran after that >__>


I've seen these in pictures but I NEVER knew where to find these GIANT CHAIRS. (Hehe now I know ^^)

The quadricycle is $30/hour to rent and 2-person bike (same design but without the extra seat at the back) was $16/hour. We so could've fit in the 2-person bike but it guess it better if we could all peddle ^^ It took a bout an hour to go from the Centre -> Hanlans point -> Centre -> Wards -> Centre. The only restriction was that the the bike cannot go across bridges. 

I took this pretty picture while we were going back to the city ^^ I used a Korean camera app and used the vintage setting.

 The city of Toronto, its looks nice from this distance =D

Makeup Haul from Hong Kong

It has been a week since I came back from my 3 week "vacation" in China/Hong Kong. 
It's my 3rd time going so far, and as always I did a lot of shopping.  I'm not going to show the clothes I bought because they are all scattered around my house and I guess it wouldn't be as interesting.

I didn't buy much in Hong Kong because I really only had 1 day to shop and all the luggages were full to the max, my mom didn't want to pay for extra luggage and besides we wouldn't be able to carry so many anyways.

I bought the above items from Watsons, Sasa and Log-on around Kowloon Bay and... the APM mall. If you are looking for Liese and Gatsby go to Watsons, it's actually cheaper than the other stores (because it goes on sale!). ^^ I also think that Log-on has some good deals as well. Sasa carries more pricier items.

I bought these items at Bonjour and another Sasa at Mong Kok. DO NOT buy at the actual Skin Food store go to Bonjour they have it for half the price and NO it's not expired or old! The only thing is they don't have ALL the Skin Food products that's all.

I haven't had a chance to use these items yet, because I am preparing for a another trip! I'll tell you where I'm off to when I'm done packing ^^


Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog: It's a Love Thing.
I will be posting makeup reviews, hauls and much more! I love to try new makeup products and have quite the collection right now. Sometimes I'll make videos and post them on my youtube channel (very rare).
 
Shopping is one of my favourite things to do, so sometimes if I spot a sale I'm make sure to make a post about it here or on my instagram :)
