What is Toronto Style?

Being a born and raised Torontonian is different than being born in other major city around the world. For starters, Toronto is a place where different cultures, people, and religions connect and live to build a metropolitan city like no other. With every neighbourhood, from the downtown core to the city suburbs offering a different taste, culture, community and of course style, it’s easy to understand why people often refer to Toronto as the most multicultural city in the world.

Australia is Coming to Toronto!

My first visit to Australia was a pretty magical experience and certainly one I will never forget. I was on my way from living in England and off to start a new life in New Zealand, so I decided to pay a visit before settling in their neighbouring country for a year. We landed in Sydney, then headed off to Perth, and ending our trip in Melbourne. Both sides of the country were so different, yet common threads could be found everywhere you looked. One of these evident commonalities was the absolutely stunning scenery that was consistently provided. I made some good friends over there who told me more about Australia, the infamous nightlife with footy trips happening all the time, places to go and things to see.

Look who’s moving in

Living in Toronto for the past few years has allowed me the opportunity to watch the city I call home grow and evolve. I was originally looking at moving to some Castle Oaks homes but I decided on Toronto. I’m really happy with my decision. Keeping up with the neighborhoods that have long-standing history is always a lot of fun because they too continue to evolve.

As Julio and I begin the journey of hunting for a new home as our family continues to grow, there are always a few items on our checklist. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some beautiful houses in the area that we have come across, but we are yet to find the perfect home for us. Although, I think our expectations may be a bit too high. With the list we have, it might be better if we just construct a home ourselves because it’s probably impossible to find everything we could want. Like, I’ve always wanted a home that has great insulation, and it must come from the roof. I thought these were hard to come by, but my friend told me that if I check out this website, this company will be able to do it for me using spray foam solutions. Woah! Now, we’re talking. Maybe, this piece of information can help our house-hunt, however, it is only one thing off our list.

The next point is having certain things that need to be nearby. A grocery store within a reasonable distance, close to the TTC to commute around the city, and if possible those stores that offer the convenience and comfort we have grown accustomed to. When we found out that one neighbourhood we are looking into for a potential new home was welcoming a new Rexall Drugstore into a historic address, it was another pro on my personal list. We are lucky enough to be partnering with Rexall to celebrate the beautiful new store and wanted to share the details with you first! Continue reading “Look who’s moving in”

Could this be any more perfect?

By now it should come as no surprise that we love sending flowers to special people in Toronto thanks to our favourite flower delivery service, Tonic Blooms. Now that another busy holiday has come and gone and I can refocus on connecting with special people in my life, I’ve been sending a lot of beautiful bouquets of flowers around Toronto using their amazing services. ICYMI, earlier this week the talented @Leeloodles launched a collaboration with Tonic Blooms that is almost too cute for words. Not only can you order the bouquet, but it helps to give back to an amazing charity AND you get a limited edition tote bag!
