30 Simple Joys Of Life Toronto Girls Can Relate To
Girls are the Eighth Wonder of the World. They are living and breathing works of art, existing in various exquisite forms and silhouettes. They face the dreaded wrath of Mother Nature every month and still manage to be brilliant and successful. They even possess the incredible power to bring life into this planet; enduring one of biology’s most vicious forms of parasitism in order to do so. Place them in a chaotic and restless city like Toronto, and you’ve basically got yourself a couple of superwomen.
Despite being subjected to ceaseless scrutiny by a society that is suffocated by an overwhelmingly caustic male pride, life as a female is still wonderful and fascinating. Whether you’re a Toronto girl or just a girl in general, you’ll surely agree that these simple joys of life make womanhood worthwhile:
1. Taking off your bra after a long day
Downtown Toronto can tire the 'girls' out.
2. When your 'time of the month' is finally over
Thank you Canada for no-tax feminine hygiene products.
3. Removing chipped nail polish
During your entire TTC commute.
4. Getting your nails done
Say, at Ana's Nail Boutique (for all you Bloor-West Villagers).
5. Having your eyebrows shaped to perfection
Eye Love Brow & Beauty Bar, anyone?
6. Freshly shaven legs
Just in time for a day trip to Ashbridges Bay!
7. Guessing your right foundation shade
A quick grab-n-go at Shoppers Drug Mart that changed your life forever.
8. Finding a pair of jeans that fit amazing
Priced at a gazillion dollars at Lavish & Squalor?? Still buying them.
9. When you and your friends have the same shoe size
Less trips to Eaton's Centre and more trips to your friend's closet.

Sometimes you look forward to that Toronto hurricane watch.
12. Achieving the perfect selfie
With the beloved Toronto skyline in the background.
13. Unexpected compliments
From the cute barista working at the Bay St. Starbucks.
14. Washing off your makeup at the end of the day
Along with all of that glorious Toronto grime.
15. The smell of your crush's cologne
"Walk into the room and you can smell the Clive Christian scent."
16. When your curls turn out right
And you hit up Muzik just because you can't let 'em go to waste!
17. Taking off your heels after a night out
Because EFS actually stands for "Each Foot's Sore".
18. When your eyeliner is even on both eyelids
And sharper than Mitch Marner's blades.

An every day version of Christmas.

A bouquet from Alma Florist in downtown makes you feel a type of way.
21. When your crush messages you first
