This year I wanted to do a different kind of holiday gift guide on my blog. With the lockdown restrictions in effect, I feel that it is very important for us to do what we can to support local businesses especially with the long winter ahead.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had issues with sensitive skin & redness. I wrote a whole blog post earlier this year about my skincare journey, so if you’re interested, you can go check it out! I’m always on the look out for new products to address my skincare issues and one product that really stood out among the skincare gurus is the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Peels.

Earlier this year, I started my “What I Read Last Week” series and I have really been enjoying burying my head into all sorts of books. I love scouring the internet for new releases and creating book lists here and there. I’ve decided to share where I’ve been keeping up with all the latest releases with you all. I’ve also come to realize that during the summer months, my reading has slowed down significantly due to my new interest in biking around the city and I’ve been spending a lot more time out in the sun lately. Anywho, here are all the places that I think have the best book lists. I revi ..read more

Happy Friday friends! As an avid drink of matcha lattes, I decided to buy my very own DIY kit earlier on in the year when all my go-to coffee shops were closed due to COVID-19. An Instagram friend posted a picture of her Matcha Gift Set from Alfred Tea House and sparked the idea for me. Coincidentally, we visited Alfred Tea House when we were in Tokyo last year (you can read my Tokyo Travel Guide here) and we thought the cafe was very cute and instagrammable. If you’ve seen people take photos in front of a “I love you so matcha” wall, then you know what I’m talking about! What I didn’t kno ..read more

Happy Sunday guys! Today I wanted to talk about one of my favourite topics & self-interests: home decor! I know many of you share this love with me and I’m always obsessed with buying little decorative items here and there to spruce up all corners of our tiny condo! For those that don’t know, Eden and I moved in together about a year ago and we like to change our home decor up here and there every couple of months. Given that we’ve all been home a lot more in the past few months (and for the foreseeable future), we’ve been sprucing up our apartment even more frequently. My home is very imp ..read more
