Review: Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ Hand Vac

"Let's get a corgi!" they said. But what about the shedding? I've convinced myself it's only a minor inconvenience to have a shedding dog compared to the love this guy gives us. The kid convinced me "mom, I'll help with cleaning too." What we didn't expect was to be vacuuming EVERYDAY. We are just coming out of the thick of shedding season. While Harley sheds all year round, twice a year he does a major shed. We're use to it by now and we've come to realize that having the right tools means EVERYONE is more inclined to pitch in with the cleaning.

Review: 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid

Text and photos by Emily Chung

My 2004 Toyota Corolla is still in great shape with over 600,000kms on it! With proper maintenance (more than the manufacturer’s recommendations – those are minimum guidelines for the purposes of their warranty), Corollas can last a long time. I wanted to see what has changed with the long running nameplate and road tested the hybrid version.

Initially introduced as a subcompact car in 1966, the Corolla has been one of Toyota’s most enduring models. 55 years later, the 2021 Toyota Corolla is now a popular compact car with modern design and technology, and has a hybrid option available.
