Excellent atmosphere, cheerful and gracious staff, amazing service and BREADSTICKS!!! Salad was delicious, sauce creamy and pasta cooked to perfection! Seated right next to an old style window with quaint curtains, Ivy covering the wall outside, it was truly an experience. Oh and did I mention…breadsticks!!!

2020 Exploration Updates – Now InstaScenes
As I step into this new year, I feel my effort can be better spent by using InstaGram’s built in features of Stories. Starting today, you’ll start seeing updates of where I’m at and what I’m doing, a quicker way of keeping you in the know, and an easier way for me to keep track of where I’ve been!
Any helpful feedback is greatly appreciated as I embark on this new adventure, one that has encouraged me to get out more and show off my beautiful town, and hopefully, maybe someday, the world!

Orchard Plaza Shopping Centre
1980 Cooper Rd #201, Kelowna, BC V1Y 8K5
★★★★★
Having been in this town for many years, I’ve watched this mall swallow up the space Wal-Mart Left, putting in a food court, and later a Sport Chek, Timmies, EB Games & Best Buy, and now expanding once again. They really concern themselves with making it into a hub for people to chill, relax, and do some therapy shopping!! There are also seasonal shops which pop up in the middle of the other shops, check them out during the holidays for favorites such as the Log Barn!
It’s always fairly clean for the amount of traffic that goes through. This location also makes an excellent place to have a wind friendly walk in the early hours, (as later hours do get crowded) for those who don’t wish to be stuck to a treadmill.
Excited to see what you guys have in store!

September 2019 Exploration Update
Alrighty! September 2019 Exploration Update with SarahTonin
Special Guest Star – Raven from Teen Titans! (Lucky to snag her before she headed off back to her room!)
HI I’m Raven, I just got back from Random Acts of Costuming, where we cheered up some kids and some people, I put on my best smile, and now without any further ado, here is SarahTonin’s Exploration Update for the Month of September. Teen Titans GO!
Shout out to Random Acts of Costuming, check them out on Facebook and follow them there, more on that next month.
Didn’t go many places, but we did make some delicious shish kabobs and had a corn feast, which if you see there, I’ve taken two slices of tomato and slathered them on the corn. (This to be done after normal condiments applied, butter, salt and pepper) That’s how you do it RIGHT!
Saw this spectacular sunrise, peeking out from behind a fire hydrant.
Snapped a few shots of this excellent sunset on the way back from Vernon
Went camping, made some camp food! Yes, Omelets ARE camp food.
And there’s some power lines…
(Further) Construction on St. Paul’s
Corn Chowder! (Recipe to follow!)
The September full moon illuminated by the light of a Polar Bear!
And lights on Bernard!
Put out How to Make a Cape with Ruby
Finished my Peter Kelamis Goku Montage! (To support my work click here!)
Got some AWESOME socks at Hot Topic on Sale!
Sliced up some crab apples to make tea! Figured out a neat way of cutting them, so it doesn’t take you ALL day!
Early morning hours on Bernard; and facing the other direction
Making some Banana Bread!
Whooh – Made some egg whites you could that you could stand up straight, I made a beautiful peach meringue pie… 🙂
There’s our banana bread!
Peach meringue pie!
And these lovely ladies, that were helping with raise a reader downtown by the Capital New Centre.
Kelowna just waking up in the morning!
A peaceful, quiet Bernard Morning-GREEN LIGHT!
And a cute little mushroom glen!
Also helped raise awareness for Orange Shirt Day, check that out Online.
And I thought I’d end it on a funny note. Why can’t you Trust an Artist? Because….They’re Shady! They’re Sketchy! AND they might try to Frame you! Have a great week guys and hopefully I’ll explore way more things this month however as the winter months set in, I tend to bunker down and hibernate…and wait for the cold to go away! So you may see me venture out, once in a while, but expect to see more updates in regards to Tutorials, and other such likes! Stay Tuned!

Interior Provincial Exhibition
★★★
IPE Fairgrounds, 3010 Wood Avenue – IPE Main Office, 3371 Pleasant Valley Rd, Armstrong, BC V0E 1B0
This used to be the place to go, however large crowds make the end of the day a nightmare, and prices going up for both the ticket and the ride passes make this location just another money grab. Sad to see this event go the way of so many others. May as well save your money and enjoy yourself at the Salmon Arm Fair.

Vancouver Convention Centre

Gorgeous location that provides built in backdrops such as the harbor, with tons of space for large groups!

Staples

2339 BC-97 Unit 430, Kelowna, BC V1X 4H9
Just spent 5 minutes on hold, pressed 1 to speak to a print associate, only to have them return me to the main menu. I tried again, this time dialing 2, and an associate picked it up, put it on the desk, I tried calling out to the employee for a good 2 minutes before hanging up and trying again. I eventually hung-up, called back, only to have the phone picked up and hung up. I have tried 5 times since this, however, every-time the hold time is up, it returns me to the main menu. Menu option 1 still has a dial tone, meaning option 2’s phone is still sitting on the desk. This is terrible customer service, coupled with a horrible phone system.
I’m not the only one, just check out the low star reviews!

After being unable to get through after 20 minutes, I phoned head office, as I see this is a pattern and is completely unacceptable.
Head office not only listened, told me how they are going to follow back up with an action plan, but also offered me a coupon in regards to the item I’d been trying to call them about to ask. Head office gets 5 stars, this location still gets 1.
We’ll have to come back to/ callback this location in a few months and see if promised improvements are made!)

Mr Mozzarella Kelowna Pizza & Wings
★★★★★
11-4600 Lakeshore Rd, Kelowna, BC V1W 1X4
This place is incredible! Once a month, they hold a pizza draw online, and when you win, you get LOADED with pizza!!! Our office of 20 was easily fed by the amount, their pizza was delectable and their wings not soggy! I feel this place makes their product for the right reasons, and I hope their quality and care will continue!
