Ahh Montreal… what a beautiful city with such a vibrant culture, stunning architecture, amazing food scene, and just overall joie de vivre. You may be surprised to know that in the 3 years I’ve lived here in Toronto, up until July I hadn’t been to Montreal even ONCE. I know,…

You might be surprised to find out that this was my first visit to Niagara Falls. Considering it’s so close (literally 2 hours away) you really would think that in the almost three years that I’ve lived here in Toronto, at some point I would have made a trip out…

A couple weeks ago I got the opportunity of a lifetime to head off to Montreal for Formula 1 with Chandon. For those of you that don’t know (shame!!) what Chandon is, it’s a delicious sparkling wine from Napa Valley under the Moet-Hennessy umbrella. I like to think of Chandon…

There are so many beautiful hotels to consider when booking your stay (or staycation) here in Toronto. If you’re visiting, you most likely want to find a hotel that’s right downtown and close to the subway line so it’s easy to get around by foot. You probably also wouldn’t mind…

Oh man… This office makeover has been a long time in the making and it feels so amazing to have it finally complete. I think it was back in March that I first reached out to Wayfair wanting to make over the office space in my condo because (well, you’ll…

I feel like it was just last week that I was sitting here writing about my girls night out at the opera (check out the post here) where I got to enjoy the Canadian Opera Company’s The Abduction from the Seraglio. Although it was actually more like two months ago (time…

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of shooting a fun little two part style spotlight with Conair for their social media channels, featuring the Infiniti PRO by Conair 3Q dryer. I fell in love with the 3Q dryer the first time I tried it… it’s extremely…

You guys all know how passionate I’ve recently become about incorporating more non-toxic/green/organic beauty and skincare products into my daily routines. My first big shift was switching to a natural deodorant (read all about that here), and lately I’ve been slowly adding more non-toxic products to my arsenal. From playing…

A couple weekends ago one of my friends Hillory (check out her awesome blog First Time Things here!) and I got to experience a brunch to remember at The Carbon Bar here in Toronto. Although The Carbon Bar may not be the first place you think of when you think…

This is a topic that’s been on my mind for quite some time. I’ve started writing it over and over, but it’s just been sitting in my drafts because I’ve been too scared to put it out for fear I’ll seem like I’m criticizing my peers, seem too opinionated, or…
