What a crazy weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. The National Women’s Show was on, as well as the Bridal show. As much as I would have liked to go to the Bridal show, I’m not getting married any time soon, and couldn’t use up both days of my weekend. I still did have some homework that I needed to get done.
I was up by 8, and out of the door by 8.45. I dropped Andrew off at his place, and his buddy dropped me off at the subway so they could use his truck for work that day. I made it to the show grounds at pretty much 10 on the dot. I was meeting Valentina there, but she was running late. So I went in and meandered around for about an hour, and did a bunch of shopping and met some really nice ladies. I actually got a lot done in that hour that I was waiting for her.
There’s so much to see at the show. It was nice being there right at the beginning because I got the goodie bag, and then I entered pretty much every contest possible. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the $500 Tiffany & Co giftcard!! I got my alignment looked at, and apparently my posture isn’t as great as I thought it was! So they recommended me looking into orthotics [but right now I’m just going to wait on the exercises they said they would send me]. I also picked up every sample available.
There’s such an eclectic mix of things at this show, ranging from health and beauty to pets, to mortgage specialists for women. The nice thing about going early is that it’s not super busy yet, so I didn’t have to wait in lines to get talked to. I went to Whiskas and got a goodie bag with cat food, treats and their new pate. Pet Valu was also there and I was able to talk to them about foods and my mom’s dog with all her issues.
