Josephine Vaccaro-Chang — Dance In The Rain
It’s true–necessity really is the Mother of invention. My personal trainer suggested I eat foods that were low in fat, low in sugar and high in protein. I created the perfect food–Dance in the Rain Chocolate Truffles. Two truffles are nutritionally comparable to one ounce of boneless, skinless chicken breast.
Our truffles are less than a gram of sugar, twice the protein of traditional truffles, low in fat, low in calories and most importantly they are absolutely delicious!
They are available at Bruno’s, Pusateri’s, Summerhill Market, The Rising Sun and through our website.

Tila Silverio, certified Feng Shui Expert, Feng Shui Inspired — nine corners
I truly believe that life was meant to be joyful and abundant. It is, however up to you to remove any blocks that may be preventing you from achieving your full potential and place you on the right path of your true life purpose. Feng Shui can definitely help you.
I find that most people have all they need in their home (sometimes too much of it !). It is just a matter of identifying what works best for you, and your loved ones, and where to rightly place it.
Case study: Marie and Debbie are partners of a Toronto based consulting business. The business however had been stagnant for a couple of months. They called me in to help them “re-activate” the business. We spent a couple of hours evaluating their energies and their surroundings. As soon as the Feng Shui consultation was done, the phones immediately started to ring. Within a couple of days a six figure contract, that had been a forgotten proposal of six months back, came through without any further hurdle.
Can you afford to leave your life or business to chance ?
