Beautiful Toronto
Hello Toronto, Ontario, are you as awesome as I remember?
I will be visiting your lovely city in June and I want the scoop – the best places to see, eat, shop, everything…
We’d also like to meet some of our wonderful readers – I have to say I’ve been to Toronto a couple of times and it’s by far my favorite city. I really want to make the most of this trip, experience Toronto to the fullest.
A meetup with naturals might also be nice, with a few prize giveaways. 
Let the suggestions begin! Leave a comment or two below…

Very excited, hopefully I’m around when you come to visit! Good spots to visit??? Make sure to take a good long walk down Yonge St (downtown) & hit up Eglinton West as well (shoppin, bargains). While you’re downtown check out Kensington Market, out in full swing on weekends. Its a THE best place to find natural foods, eco-friendly clothing, food, jewelry, restaurants & etc. If you do nothing else go to Kensington Market… You should also check out Nannis Natural Hair Salon (www.nannisnaturalhair.com).. She does wonderful things with both locs & natural tresses…If I think of anything else I’ll repost for sure, but its a definite start =)

Make it two weeks, so you can see your real D also, and take a short trip to Chicago. I love Toronto also, only been once.
