Deal Purchased: $15 for $30 Worth of Authentic Upscale Japanese Cuisine and Drinks at Aki Da Japanese Seafood & Teppanayaki Restaurant
Deal Site: WagJag
Date Purchased: May 11 2011
Recommended: YES

Pros: Delicious and Fresh food, Wide variety of Menu items, Excellent Service, the little candies at the end of the meal, Pleasant Atmosphere
Cons: Can be a bitch to find parking, expensive


If you've ever traveled outside of Toronto you know it's rare to find a city with such a vast variety of amazing food choices. So it was a bit of a shocker when I was in Scottsdale Arizona last year and found a sushi restaurant called Roka Akor that might have actually ruined me from ever eating sushi again! Since I've been back I have yet to eat any sushi that even came close. I actually barely touched sushi at all because it's just always a let down. Until now. Aki Da... thank you for allowing me to eat sushi again in Toronto!

The menu options were vast and every item ordered was absolutely delicious! I'm a big fan of the Red Dragon Roll and the ridiculously delicious Crystal Salmon Roll which is rolled up in rice paper. The presentation of all the food is incredible. Every item looks like it should win a beauty pageant! Even their desserts are amazing, tempura cheesecake.. Hello!! Puddle on the floor!

Since my first experience there I've been back three more times and it's consistently good! They also give these little delicious guava or pineapple candies with your bill.. Yum!!

The only downfall is that I wouldn't be able to afford to eat there on a regular basis without the deal vouchers. It would end up being a special occasion treat to go there, but no denying that it's worth every penny!

I TOTALLY RECOMMEND this place!

Kiyome Kinoki Foot Detox Patches

Deal Purchased: $15 for a Box of 10 Kinoki Detoxifying Foot Pads - Taxes and Shipping Included ($54 Value)
Deal Site: WagJag
Date Purchased: September 1 2011
Recommended: NO

Pros: Easy to Apply, All Natural Ingredients
Cons: Didn't notice any difference, Glue left stickiness on my feet


I'm as open as Jenna Jameson's legs when it comes to trying new products. So when I noticed these Kinoki Foot Pads come up for a ridiculously cheap price there was no hesitation in grabbing a box.

The website states "If you suffer from aches and pains, poor circulation, difficulty sleeping, tiredness or are often on medications, have poor eating habits or a smoker, you may need to detoxify your body." How can this be bad? It uses all natural ingredients and I just stick some pads to my feet overnight and don't even have to think about it. They were easy to apply and they didn't really bother me through the night. The only part I didn't love was in the morning peeling them off. The glue left some stickiness at the bottom of my feet and the pads left a gross sliminess as well. I had to walk on my toes straight to the shower to wash it off.

I had checked out some reviews prior to see what to expect, and many people were saying the pads got lighter every night, but I can't say I noticed that at all. I only noticed a difference when I didn't stick them firmly down in some places they ended up being less black in the morning in those areas.

Now it's possibly I would have to use these for longer in order to see a difference but to be honest, I'm fairly certain I have no interest in continuing with them. I'm part of the Computer Generation and need instant results, so if I have to go longer than 5 days of this...

NOT A CHANCE
