    Is Greektown still Greek?

    January 7, 2022 /

    The changing of Greektown through the eyes of its past and present residents. Greektown has always been close to my heart. When I lived in a small town without any other Greek people around me, I yearned for a connection to my culture. Every March break, I would get so excited to visit my cousins for a week and walk the Danforth with them. Reveling in the smell of fresh pastries and the sounds of bouzouki music coming from the shops around me, It was a great place to connect with my culture and talk to interesting individuals. Recently, however, after moving to Toronto this past September, I realized that…

    December 22, 2021 /

    Like many of us during the first quarantine, I—unfortunately for my productivity—discovered TikTok.

Here are some of my favourite purchases as of late. Fair warning: after reading this, you might think that you need these products too. I don’t disagree with you, they changed my beauty game forever!

    Discovery and Rediscovery: Books on the Danforth

    December 21, 2021 /

    I have always been a voracious reader, consuming the short stories in grade school textbooks instead of listening in class or staying up into the wee hours of the morning to finish one more chapter. My shelves are full, bowing under the weight of series and single novels, with still more books piling up on the floor as my “to be read” list gets longer. But when I finished my English degree at university, I was burnt out from reading. Working two jobs didn’t help the situation as I had precious little time to do things outside of eating and sleeping. When the pandemic hit Canada and I was laid…

    A Marvel-ous Experience

    July 26, 2021 /

    Consistency is something to be proud of. Most people make plans to be consistent for a few weeks, a month, or even an entire year. Whatever the duration may be, you begin to see progress in the right direction. Now, imagine a movie studio that’s been consistently releasing high-quality movies every year for nearly a decade; quite a streak. That’s the case with Marvel Studios. They’ve released Blockbuster movies since 2010, and have built momentum for their storyline which was able to achieve the highest box office movie of all time—now placed in second with Avengers: Endgame. All that came to a halt with the rest of the world in…

    March 11, 2021 /

    Malcolm & Marie is a black and white romantic drama film that’s written, produced, and directed by Sam Levinson, and had its Netflix debut on February 5th, 2021. The screen invites us into the life of a filmmaker — Malcolm, played by John David Washington, who’s at the top of his Hollywood career thanks to the life story of his girlfriend Marie (played by Zendaya).

    What Makes “Clean Beauty” Clean? An Interview with The Big Carrot’s Resident Makeup Expert

    March 9, 2021 /

    Beauty should be good for you, right? But what really goes into the makeup we use? The truth is that most products contain a laundry list of ingredients that we can’t even pronounce, let alone make sense of. It’s estimated that around 80% of the ingredients in makeup have never been tested for health and safety standards — and yes, to my great chagrin, this is still totally legal. While we would like to think that the beauty companies we know and love always have our best interest at heart, the truth seems a little less clear. And since the average person uses twelve different beauty products every single day,…

    Watching Marvel Through WandaVision

    February 25, 2021 /

    For the first time since 2009, Marvel Studios had not released anything for an entire year. Coming off of such a huge success with Avengers: Endgame, everyone was excited for the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). They’ve planned the release of Black Widow — postponed until 2021 — which was meant to be a prequel to their current storyline. However, Marvel, which is owned by Disney, was able to get a bit more creative with their storytelling thanks to the steady expansion of Disney+ and started their first television series, WandaVision. Much like a lot of things Marvel brings to the forefront, the series started as a…
