Making My House a Home

Going into another busy week for us here at the blog, I am at the office today with another exciting list of things to do. From meeting some of our idols over the last few weeks, to the ability to learn about new brands, there’s never a dull moment for us around here! Recently I had the pleasure of being introduced to MODERN INDIA: the latest collection by Mobilia Canada with Calgary based designer and style expert Aly Velji – and it helped to rekindle a desire to make the house I now live in a home again. As the collection heads into your local Mobilia Canada store in the coming weeks, come take a look at some of my favourite items that I hope to add into my life and why it is important to create the oasis I deserve.  Continue reading “Making My House a Home”

A New Bodycare Line, With a Twist

Over the past month, I had the opportunity to try a number of new items from the Fruit’s & Passion Alo line. The last time I used any Fruits & Passions products I was in my early teens! Needless to say, I was pretty stoked to try out some items from this wonderful Canadian company. A few of the items I tried include the Whipped Body Cream Pear Peony, Hand Cream Ocean Flower, Shower Gel Grapefruit Guava and Hand Soap Orange Canteloupe.

What My Perfect Day Would Entail

It seems a little self indulgent to be sitting down to write a blog post dedicated to myself, but sometimes I think that putting out your intentions into the universe is a great way of making them come true. October 17th is going to not only mark an exciting time for us as a country with legalization, but it just so happens to be my 35th birthday. Funny to think about that number because for as long as I can remember my “life plan” had me married at 30, with children at 35, owning a home at 40. Life doesn’t always go the way we want it to, but I also know that the path I am on right now is the one that will lead me to my best self. I am working on my physical, emotional and mental wellbeing and I like to think that 35 will be better than 34. Only time will tell I guess – but in the meantime, if I could have the perfect birthday, here are a few things I would want it to include!  Continue reading “What My Perfect Day Would Entail”

Moments & Memories That Deserve To Be Celebrated

Over the past few years, I have come to appreciate the moments that I am lucky enough to share with you all more and more. I think that amid a busy schedule, writing blog posts, meetings and everything that goes into running the blog with Catherine, I sometimes got lost in the pace of it all. Since losing my Dad in 2016, and facing some health issues of my own, I am reminded how short life really can be and how it is important to cherish the beautiful moments because I never want to take anything (or anyone) for granted ever again. So when the team at Grand Marnier Canada recently invited me to celebrate #WeLiveGrand at Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Toronto, I knew it would be a magical night that I simply had to share with you. It also brought back beautiful memories of a brand that has been a part of my life for a very long time.  Continue reading “Moments & Memories That Deserve To Be Celebrated”
