2020 has been a difficult year, but my partnership with Baskin Robbins has brightened mine and Brando’s day on several occasions throughout various waves of lockdown. We LOVE treats, so at the beginning of the year we decided to celebrate random days and/or small accomplishments with something yummy from Baskin Robbins. Little did we know that the year would turn out the way that it did and that these little celebrations would become big highlights!  Whether it was Valentine’s day ice cream cake, a Polar Pizza to celebrate my first DJ gig or lockdown Friday ice cream parties on the couch ..read more

Brigitte and I went on a weekend trip to Stratford and now I’m pretty much ready to move there! I can’t remember the last time I loved somewhere so much. With Hallmark movie level charm and an overall affinity for arts and culture, Stratford is going to be a repeat destination on my Ontario travel list (if not my future home lol).  Located in Perth County (west of Toronto) with a population of just over 30 000, Stratford strikes the perfect balance of small town charm while still having the offerings of a city. The entirely walkable historic downtown is located alongside the meandering A ..read more

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jameson. All opinions are 100% mine. Whiskey is my go-to base for smooth, but easy to make to drinks. Whether it’s with soda, ginger or a dash of bitters, Whiskey is IMHO the most versatile liquor for mixing cocktails with a refreshing taste. Brando and I would always order “Jamo” at the bar, but 2020 means we’re spending more time at home, so we’ve brought the Jameson with us. Whether it’s long afternoons on the balcony playing games, or evenings inside watching sports, we’ve been mixing a lot of Jameson drinks this year. Below are three su ..read more

Iceland is known for its otherworldly black beaches and dazzling waterfalls, but the Nordic island is socially and creatively as unique as it is naturally beautiful. I’ve visited three times now and it’s the people, food and art scene that keeps drawing me back. Specifically Iceland Airwaves, which has become my favourite music festival.  Iceland Airwaves For over 20 years, people have been travelling across the world to Reykjavik for four magical days of music in November. With both Icelandic and international talent, you’ll see some of your all-time favourites and discover new artists ..read more

I had so much fun at TIFF this year! It’s quickly becoming one of my favourite weeks in Toronto. I love all the movies, parties, encounters with celebrities and of course, the red carpet outfits. I had the chance to get dressed up a few times during the Festival and there was one look in particular that you were all loving on Instagram, so I’ve put together a little GRWM video for you! I actually had about 20 minutes to get ready for this event (having just landed back in Toronto after visiting my family in Victoria), so it’s actually super doable and easy. I was a little uncomfortable with w ..read more

Fall fashion is my favourite fashion. Colder weather means I finally get to bundle up in layers, wear my favourite wool jackets and not brush my hair because I’m always in a toque. It also means that it’s LEGWEAR SEASON!!! I have this thing against showing skin that I can’t really explain, so naturally I love hosiery weather. Lately I’ve been wearing SECRET® hosiery made with LYCRA® fiber. They’re super sheer, comfy and stretchy (you can dance all you want), but they also stay up, so you get the best of both worlds. I highly recommend these, so click here if you want to try some! Three Ways t ..read more

It’s officially September which means that summer in Toronto is coming to an end (and so is online banking in the sunshine on my patio). Although it’s a bit sad to see summer go, fall is actually my favourite season. I absolutely love cold weather fashion, I prefer hot coffee over iced and being able to take long walks without getting all sweaty. With the changing season comes new expenses and I find that life starts getting a bit more expensive in the fall. Whether it’s wool coats, cashmere sweaters or new leather boots, cold weather clothing comes with a bigger price tag than little summer ..read more

It has been awhile since I got something so great that I had to make a whole blog post about it, but Altitude Sports hooked me up with these UGG Sandals and they are hands down the comfiest sandals I’ve ever put on my feet. The straps don’t rub at all and I could walk for hours on the cork soles. To top if off, they look SO CUTE with just about anything. Dress them up for a summer night out or pair with jeans to run errands. I promise these babies will become your summertime best friend too ..read more

Having clear and comfortable eyesight is key to a life of adventure, whether I’m heading out for a summer day on Toronto Island, road tripping in California, snowboarding in France, boating in Italy, or just trying see the stage while enjoying a concert. I’ve been wearing Alcon DAILIES TOTAL1® Contact Lenses for about six years now – I can honestly say that they changed my life by empowering me to do all the activities I enjoy without the restraints of trying to wear glasses or sacrificing clear eyesight, all while providing me comfortable vision from early morning to late at night. If you’v ..read more

I call Tangerine the “cool people bank”. They have a way of making banking simple while keeping you informed about your money. Last year, I went to a Tangerine event on investing and was enlightened with helpful knowledge on the basics of investing (check it out here). What a way to make me love my finances! I’ve always had a lot of anxiety around money. I hated going to the bank. I always felt like I was going to get judged on my ignorance, or scrutinized for not being responsible enough with my finances. I didn’t even like talking to my bank on the phone. I felt like I couldn’t call without ..read more
