Gluten free in Vancouver

Yes, another cookie post, but I am a cookie monstah after all.

I'm not celiac, but I'm convinced I feel better when I don't eat gluten, so I am forever on the search for delicious gluten free baked goods, mainly cookies

Well, found another one, the Gluten Free Epicurean 633 east 15th avenue, vancouver, glutenfreeepicurean.ca is delish as a bakery, only drawback is you can't pick up a coffee at the same time. Luckily, there's a trendy coffee shop a couple doors down

But, getting to the real point, their Salted, no oat chocolate chip cookie is AMAZEBALLS!! I like a large, hearty cookie to make sure u get my full fix and an totally satisfied. This cookie has size, texture and amazing layered flavor, with the sweetness of chocolate, contrasted by salt and added crunch from nuts-delish!

Found! Perfect sandwich cookie!

Sounds like an unusual perfect thing to search for, but if anyone else out there is passionate about baked goods, you will understand...

Where? The Last Crumb Bakery www.lastcrumb.ca 3080 Main Street, Vancouver
What? Gluten free sandwich cookie
Why? Two, moist chocolate chip cookies, which taste rich, sandwiched together by vanilla buttercream, AMAZEBALLS! 
Let me say, I try every gluten free bakery that pops up because I can feel that gluten is not my friend and the texture is always off, not so at Last Crumb, tastes like the best sandwich cookie in town, full gluten. Comparable to Butter Baked Goods sandwich cookies in size and taste. They also have inventive gluten full sandwich cookies that I have not tried yet, but sound delish: peanut butter with raspberry buttercream, ginger molasses with cream cheese frosting and Black Forest with cherry buttercream

Don't try it, anything but a Perfect 10

So, I've been getting more and more grey hair, sigh... So, I have been in search of the perfect permanent at-home hair dye. Perfect 10 happened to be on sale at the drugstore and had an ash brown colour, as a dark haired girl whose hair likes to go brassy, the word ASH is my cue, so I thought I'd try it. Generally, you can't go wrong dying your hair darker right? Ummmm, not so much! This product burns and itches on your scalp, doesn't cover the grey and changes the texture of your hair. After this product, hair just does not lay right! Advice: stay away
I'll let you know when I do find the perfect product, but for now I'm heading to the salon, until next time...
