Travel & Lifestyle | The #InvatiMen Aveda experience

Like many men in Canada, sometimes I come to realize that I don’t pamper nearly often enough. Maybe it’s my busy schedule or maybe just the fact that I didn’t know where to turn to.

Food & Wine | #avolovers rejoice! We are summer ready with three of our favourite avocado recipes!

There is something so contagious about the summer months and the energy that they bring into my life. I find that I want to be outside more, I want to cook more, and I am all around just a happier person. Food is such an important part of that happiness in my life, and thanks to my friends at Avocados from Mexico, I am sharing three summer recipes that will have the whole family smiling. Because when I think about fresh food, especially as an honorary Latino now that I’m married, nothing comes to mind more than avocados!  Continue reading “Food & Wine | #avolovers rejoice!
