Joe Mama's: Southern Food Downtown Toronto

I don't usually blog about restaurants but...


When your plate goes from this

To this

YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD. 

Dimly lit with a warm atmosphere. I went with family for about 7pm (can't make reservations after 7pm on a Saturday); It was already getting packed, band not started yet but the music was pretty loud. Maybe a little too loud for casual conversation, but it was good music. Food came considerably fast, service was pleasant, and that food was bomb! Grilled Calamari was really good and so was the sauce served with it. But the Crusted Catfish (pictures shown), rice and the grilled veggies was DELISH. I believe it took me a mere 11mins to finish lol. First time trying catfish and it was really, really good. 

The Strawberry Cream Cheesecake wasn't bad either!

So if you're downtown and looking for a southern restaurant to eat at, try Joe Mama's (King St. W & John St.).

Shingling Method on Bangs

Instead of doing my normal wash and go routine, I decided to spice it up by doing a different part in the front and using the shingling method on my bangs. OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LOOK BACK. Usually I'll try to finger coil (see my previous finger coiling method here ) random pieces through-out my whole head, most focusing on the front, but it make the curls shorter than the rest and you definitely notice the difference. With the shingling method, my curls were separated but more natural to my curl pattern. HOW DO YOU SHINGLE? Make sure your hair is soaked with water Saturate hair in leave-in conditioner and apply an oil/butter to seal in moisture Apply a gel for extra hold  Take small pieces of your hair and smooth root to tip with your thumb and index finger & repeat until you've shingled to your desire (either just your bangs, frizzy parts of your hair, or whole head!) For extra shine and hold, use a diffuser to set curls, or sim...
