It’s The Personal Touches That Matter Most This Year

With the holiday season in full swing in our home – I even put my second Christmas tree up today – I am able to sit down and start checking people off my shopping list. While I’ll be ordering the gifts to be sent directly to them vs to me to give them, there are still so many amazing ways to offer a personal touch to gifts this year. A handwritten holiday card. A phone call just to hear their voice. And maybe even something extra special that you can only order in Toronto? I’ve got all the details for you and a few gift ideas for those of you looking to send Julio & I an anniversary or Christmas gift. ?

What it Means to Launch a Business During a Pandemic

2020 – the year that reality as we know it changed. As we make our way towards the end of the calendar year, I find myself looking at what – and more specifically who – has inspired me over the past twelve months. My own life has seen many changes as well. I went back to blogging full time and continue to look for a new job where my skills will be best served. I took my health back in to my own hands and became very self-aware. I started paying attention to where I was spending my money and I became much more aware of our choices and their effects on the environment, which leads me to writing this blog post.

Why You Should Give a Special Gift

As many of you know this year I am giving the #SupportLocal mouvement as much of my energy and time as I can. Now more than ever small businesses in Canada need our help to weather the proverbial storm that 2020 brought to their doorsteps. While I continue to share businesses via social media, the blog has always been my favourite platform to tell stories and share details that an image alone or a tweet might not be able to. This year, if you’re thinking of unique gifts for yourself and those you love from a distance, why not give a special gift during a very special year like I am.

(Some of) My Favourite Toronto Restaurants To Get You Hungry

As someone that has worked in the restaurant industry in some capacity for almost fifteen years, my heart is heavy for the city of Toronto right now. I don’t want to focus too much on the challenges because that would detract from the message of this post – how we all can support local small businesses and restaurants throughout the last few weeks of 2020. So in an attempt to get you hungry and ordering curbside pickup or delivery, here is my list of (some) of the restaurants I love most.
