Went to High Park with my best-friend-FURever a few weeks ago to catch the Cherry Blossoms. It was an evening of fun, exploration, and a bit of stress, as per usual. 
Met up with V for some grub at Mercatto on College right now. Mercatto is a very nondescript restaurant located on the MaRS complex and is quite easy to miss if you’re not looking hard enough. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating and the weather was gorgeous yesterday, so we opted to sit outside. 
V’s Mojito.
Grilled Calamari {‘nduja, fingerlings, goetta olives, and tomato}
Margherita (foreground) and Agnello (background)

The grilled calamari was perfect — it was cooked well and not at all rubbery in texture. And what about the pizza? Fantastic. Just fantastic. The sausage in the Agnello had a little bit of a kick to it which was complemented by the sweetness of the San Marzano tomatoes. Mercatto’s crust is pretty thin, but not to the point where it was just impossible to lift a slice off the plate without the contents spilling over. Better than Pizzeria Libretto in my, admittedly, unrefined taste

Guys, you know what I really hate? It’s dry and tight skin. This is why I avoid over cleansing my skin and stick to soap-free cleansers — I find that my skin does NOT like soapy cleansers. It gets dry, tight (immediately after rinsing), and very dull looking which is why I tend to gravitate towards oil and milk/lotion cleansers.
When I was asked to try out Eucerin’s DermatoCLEAN line, the Mild Cleansing Lotion was the first thing I used out of the bunch. It gently cleanses the skin and does not leave it feeling very dry and tight right after rinsing it off. Another thing I really dig about this cleanser is the smell — or lack of it. I’m finding it harder and harder to deal with facial products that are heavily perfumed. It takes makeup off gently and goes GREAT with my Clarisonic Mia which, HOLY SHIT, I completely forgot to review! Anyway, LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. Love how smooth and moisturized and CLEAN my skin feels after using it.
Eucerin’s DermatoCLEAN line is formulated with Hyaluron and Urea which, combined together, help infuse the skin with moisture while reducing the appearance of wrinkles by plumping the look of the skin. its Mild Cleansing Lotion has a rich, non-drying formula that is guaranteed to soothe and soften the skin through moisturization. It is free from fragrants and colourants. Each bottle contains 50ml of product and sells for around CAD$10.
