I’m going to get right into it. I lack motivation and if you leave it to me I would not lift a dumbbell. I’m getting older and starting to lose muscle mass. I don’t know where to start. I’ve asked my friends about yoga and Pilates and they said it won’t help me. I just need to start lifting weights. My only form of exercise now is walking for about 20 minutes on non rainy days. I can’t afford a personal trainer. What are my options?

Hi everyone. Family of 4 (2 adults, 7 year old, and 9 year old.) Sunday-Wednesday. Arriving via train. First time here. Looking for food, activities, and hotel recommendations. My limited research shows we should stay at Château Champlain. Let me know if that’s a good place to stay.

Thank you!

I have an intense craving for the Cannoli flavoured Earnest ice cream. I checked their website for all their locations and there’s no scoops or pints left. Does anyone know if there’s any retailer that has it in-stock? Thank you!

I’ve had them from Gary’s, Michelle’s, and St. Germaine, Ri Ki (Richmond,)and One cake (Richmond.). Just wondering if there’s anyone else that’s better or one of the above are the best already. Thanks!

From my research Grand Velas and Garza Blanca are coming up as the top choices for luxury with kids. Which one should we choose? We’re planning a trip with a 6 and 9 year old. Departing mid December 2026. Please advise if there are other luxury options to consider. Thank you!

Edit: Cabo only

There’s a list of items we can order on the iPad, but what’s not advertised that’s also complimentary?

Thank you!

We will be there next weekend and have no idea how to plan this trip. Currently looking at wild blue, rim rock, red door, bar oso, and Araxi for dinner. But don’t know which to pick and can only have 2 maybe 3 dinners. Have no idea where to go for lunch. As for activities, we’re not very active people. Plan to lounge by the pool and spa for part of the trip and the remainder we can go for a light hike? Open to any other activities you suggest. This is our first time away without the kids and would really want to make it special. Please give us some ideas on how to make this get away relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable. Will probably be another decade before we can do this again. Tell us what to do if this is a spare no expense trip. Thank you!

Looking for a luxury wedding anniversary get away and wanted to try something new. What are your thoughts about this place? Open to other suggestions in Whistler too. We’ve stayed at the four seasons and Fairmont in the past. Thanks!

Wedding anniversary coming up and we have 3 days to get away. My research is pulling up Magnolia, Oak Bay, and Brentwood Bay. Has anyone been to any of these places? Open to other recommendations. Looking for a relaxing time. No need to be in the city to explore. Thank you.

I’ve been told Joe fortes, Fanny bay, Boulevard, and Gothams have good happy hour. Not looking for drink deals more for food. What do you all recommend? Have places increased their prices due to Fifa or is it still the same? Thanks!

I’ve been using 0.01% cream off and on for 2 years now. I put it on after serum at night and moisturizer on top. At this point I tolerate it well and have no peeling or dryness. Thinking of increasing the dosage. What’s the next percentage I should go to? Thank you!

I want to get a belt that goes with jeans and dress pants. What’s one Aritzia belt that can do it all? I prefer a silver buckle. Thank you!

I’m here for 1 more day and I would like to get some items that are exclusive to Portland. Went to the Saturday market yesterday and got some handmade items. Walked by a store called Portland gear yesterday and was wondering if I should go back? Staying in downtown Portland. What should I pick up?

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about the fear of re-gaining weight, food noise, and falling back to old habits when off of GLP-1. Excuse my ignorance, but why can’t one be on it for a long time? If it’s working out well for you why are you planning an exit?

Hi Everyone. We’re a family of 4 with a 6 year old and a 9 year old. We’ll be staying in downtown Portland and wondering what are the best places for us to explore? It will be our first time visiting your city. Looking mostly for activities for the kids, places to eat, and shop if we have time. We will be driving down from Bellingham, so if there’s any stops we should make during our drive there please let us know. Thank you!

Some things I’ve heard of but not sure if it’s worth the visit are:
Woodburn Outlets
Nike head quarters
Adidas head quarters
Oregon Zoo
OMSI
