Food Banks Canada x SkipTheDishes is the Giving Tuesday Collab The World Needs Right Now

I don’t often talk about my childhood because it’s challenging. My parents had me when they were 20 years old and the thought of having a 19 year old right now if I was in their shoes is pretty daunting. We struggled financially, and for the most part my parents shielded us from knowing. I lived a very happy childhood and all things considered I think back on those years fondly.

That being said, my mom has shared me over the years that times were really tough and sometimes we had to rely on the food bank to keep my brother and I fed.

A Little Help From Google

For those of you who follow me on social media, you’ll have seen that I’m practically in Toronto on a weekly basis lately. Especially leading into the holiday season, there are so many amazing brand, people and events that have hired or asked me to be in person after years of virtual get togethers, so who am I to say no!

I’ve witnessed a lot of beautiful moments over my career with brands giving back to the communities that support them. Since the pandemic, I’ve been a huge proponent for support local and helping to amplify small businesses. That’s why I have yet again been so moved and inspired by Google Canada this year and their recent #ALittleHelpFromGoogle event in The Distillery District before the iconic Distillery Winter Village Christmas market kicked off.

A Glowup So Impressive, You Have to See it To Believe it

As many of you know, I travel to Toronto often for work and to see close friends that I have made over the last 9+ years that I have been blogging. When I can, I need to rest my head in a beautiful hotel that is conveniently located in the city. Well, if I had to pick there’s not one hotel more convenient or known in the downtown core like Sheraton Centre Toronto. Recently the hotel celebrated its 50th anniversary and the completed of a multi-million, multi-year renovation that you absolutely have to see in person to take in all that beautiful grandiosity.

With Love, Siempre xo

I remember first meeting Alex Lacroix at a now defunct Mexican restaurant in the distillery district of Toronto for a media event introducing a new tequila to me in 2015-ish. This was before I had ever really explored Mexico – not the beaches and resorts we all love, but Mexico City, Oaxaca and the interior that truly define the soul of a country I could see myself calling home. Where I truly learned about the artistry behind Mezcal and Tequila, which one day years later would become my favourite of all. And at the top of that list, Siempre Tequila would find its way into my heart and never leave.
