This Is No Laughing Matter

Life isn’t always beautiful selfies and great food. It’s something really hard and can get you down. It’s why I try to find ways to laugh and unwind wherever and whenever I can amid the responsibilities of running the blog, being a husband, and working towards having children.

Julio & I have been invited to attend SiriusXM’s Top Comic Competition in Toronto as the competition celebrates its tenth year, and I cannot wait to kick back and laugh the night away. Come check out what the competition is all about the main reason why comedy is so important to me!

A How To Guide To Feeling Beautiful This Summer

I remember the first time I walked into Saks Fifth Avenue’s Toronto location at the corner of Yonge & Queen with Julio. His eyes lit up as we walked into the stores iconic fashion and beauty departments. Known for years in my mind as a destination we had to visit every time we went to NYC, it was nice to know that the brand we had respectively come to love was finally in our city. While I’ve come to memorize the space (and designer bags Julio points out to me regularly), one of the things I have come to love most about Saks is their beauty and fragrance departments. While I used to feel out of place, their associates have really helped make those topics understandable and approachable for me.

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.
