It Just Gets Funnier and Funnier...

If you're tempted by the thought of going to a comedy show but not yet ready for something as brazen as a comedy show about mental illness (see my last post!), you could always check out the Vancouver Theatresports League at the New Revue Stage on Granville Island. The bonus? Being on Granville Island allows you so much freedom to have the perfect evening!
Just imagine yourself with the one you love, having a romantic dinner downtown or maybe in Yaletown, and then taking the False Creek Ferry across to Granville Island to laugh until you pee your pants. What could be more romantic? They have a variety of shows, including something every day from Wednesday to Saturday. www.vtsl.com

Unique Comedy Break

I recently heard about this show called Stand Up for Mental Health and I think it's a great idea and it's supposed to be a very entertaining evening.
Their web site boasts, "Most people think you have to be nuts to do stand-up comedy. In our program, it's a prerequisite!"
This is a group of people with mental illnesses who put on comedy shows to build confidence and combat prejudice and stigma. They'll be performing April 19th at the Stanley Theatre, and tickets are only $30.
Check out this barrier-breaking group and help them fight the stigma of mental illness: www.standupformentalhealth.com

Are you a shop-a-holic?

I hope that word's not copyrighted!
If you're a suburbanite who loves to shop, Coquitlam Centre is putting on just the event for you on April 7th! It may be a Tuesday night, but don't let that stop you from having fun. The event, Strut: The Ultimate Girls' Night Out, takes place at the Red Robinson Show Theatre (also in Coquitlam) and includes a fashion show, cocktails, appies, a swag bag and pampering stations.
Tickets range from $55 to $100 and judging from the web site, the more you pay the better your swag bag.
There's even going to be a show by Tina! Check out the web site: coquitlamcentre.com.wedodns.com/fashion-event
You can also feel good supporting your shopping addiction because proceeds from this event go to Variety Children's Telethon and the Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.

Clearest Face Ever


I love to surf sephora.com, just to see what's going on. And it's always good to check out the customer ratings before you buy things (especially if you buy them online). That was how I found out about the DDF Sulfur Therapeutic Mask. I think it may be the best thing that ever happened to me!
This face mask is for acne-prone skin and it makes a noticeable difference after you use it just once.
I strongly recommend this, just like 90% of the other customers at Sephora who tried it!
