Finally, A Reason For Me To Go To Yorkville

I have officially been living in Toronto for eight years. Prior to calling myself a Torontonian, I used to visit the city as often as I could. Born in Montreal, and having grown up in Ottawa, Toronto was always the city I felt most at home in. My friends and I would drive down the 401 for any number of concerts, exploring Queen St. West in its heyday, and exploring parts of the city that embodied the vibrancy Toronto is known for. Very rarely in the thirty six years I have lived have I found a reason or had the desire to go to Yorkville. Always seemingly too good for the rest of the city, it rubbed me the wrong way. It was trying too hard. It was elitist and it wasn’t for me.

All that changed for me last year when I was introduced to UpMarket. Upon it’s return this year with UpMarket: The Floral edit, there is FINALLY a reason for someone like me to go to Yorkville to enjoy myself and feel like I belong there.

Tequila Made Me Do It

At thirty five years old, there are some things that I have come to learn about myself. I still don’t like olives and probably never will. I admire people who are honest, kind and loyal. I’m a dog person. I prefer coffee over tea, but in a pinch caffeine is caffeine. And I love a good dinner party where I can wow my friends and family just because I love them and want them to feel special.

Three Cocktails to Celebrate #DisaronnoDay Around The World

If you’re like me, chances are you’re ready for the sun and some yummy cocktails on a patio as soon as humanly possible. The winter months have dragged on long enough in my opinion – and that’s saying a lot consider I’m not one to complain about the weather.

Although April 19th might not be t-shirt and patio weather just yet, it is a good reason to create a few cocktails for yourself and those you love. It is after all #DisaronnoDay, and to help get you inspired in partnership with our friends at DISARONNO, I’m sharing three delicious cocktail recipes that are going to blow their minds.

This Year, Let’s Dish

I can’t believe that it’s already March and that the spring is around the corner. As I gear up my wardrobe alongside my new healthy habits (click here to read more about those) I am also doing things that I love for myself again. Be it writing this book and working towards a tight deadline, or taking classes again because I have always loved learning, I am feeling rejuvenated and more like myself than I have in a very long time.
