57 h. ago Toronto woman building a beauty empire that's unlike anything else in the city

Upon moving to Toronto from Russia, Valeria Mozheyko was struck by the lack of beauty bars in the city that offered the same high-quality care she was accustomed to back home.Rather than settle for what she could find, she took matters into her own impeccably manicured hands, and, in 2023, Project Essence was born.Valeria herself admits that she never dreamed of becoming a business owner, nor did she have any work experience in the realm of beauty prior to opening her own business, but where there's a will, there's a way, and her experience as a customer at such establishments primed her to know exactly what she wanted out of her own business."As a customer, I wanted high-quality services, but I also wanted good customer service.

3 w. ago $5 million contemporary home has unmatched views of the Toronto skyline

While many of us would count ourselves lucky to be able to buy a house of any kind in Toronto these days, if an urban oasis is what you're after, look no further than this $5 million contemporary gem.Located due south of the bustling Yonge and St. Clair intersection, 37 Woodlawn Avenue West rests on a more secluded residential street lined with older, classic homes, making this dashing dwelling truly stand out.An enviable score in Summerhill, the home boasts Toronto skyline views that are virtually impossible to come by in the city, let alone in an equally sought-after neighbourhood.The home, which stands at just over 3,600 sq. ft. spread across three floors and a walk-out basement (which is mostly above-grade), is also home to its very own private Cambridge elevator that accesses all four levels.For an extra dose of the neighbourhood's lengthy history, the property backs onto the historic Woodlawn House, built in 1840, which is the second-oldest home in Toronto.Upon entering the ho...
