Beauty & the East: Florabunda
March 26, 2010 at 6:02 AM 1 comment
This week, Health & Swellness is spotlighting some of the get-gorgeous hot spots in Leslieville. This east-end Toronto ‘hood is best known for its brunch, bakeries and coffee shops, but a girl cannot get by solely on caffeine and cupcakes, and, thankfully, a few beauty shops have started to crop up, too.
Who: Florabunda
What: Oh-so-pretty fresh cut flowers at cheap and cheerful prices — no more need to trek to Ave and Dav. (Before Florabunda opened, for simple cut flowers, eastenders were mainly stuck with the dismal selection at grocery and convenience stores.)
Why: Surround yourself with beauty and you’ll look and feel more gorgeous yourself — studies have shown that stopping to smell the flowers can reduce stress and that flowers can trigger happiness and increase life satisfaction.
When: Monday to Wednesday, 12 p.m to 6:30 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: 1131 Queen St. East; 416-463-5672.
