Events | Zipcar Officially Launches in Ottawa

Living in the city is great.  Driving in the city… not so much.  And the cost of owning a car in the city?  Ummm I think I’ll pass.  But sometimes I just need one.  How do I get to those awesome organic farms outside of the ol’ big smoke?  I can’t really ride my bike there (unless I had like 3 days to spare and a rock hard butt).  So what if I feel like grabbing a car while on vacation abroad but don’t want to spend and arm and a leg to get one?

By now, it comes as no shock to any of you when I talk about coffee. It’s an integral part of my everyday life and I think I may be a monster in the morning without my first cup.

When I was approached by the inspiring team behind Java Elixir, I was amazed at what this company has produced and how it can drastically improve my coffee intake in regards to it’s health benefits.

Health & Nutrition | Volta | The Natural Support Team

It’s no secret that I love coffee. I love the smell, the taste and the feeling as it pours down my throat and warms my belly. But, I only allow myself one good quality cup a day. It can do quite a number on your digestive system and on your adrenal glands. Those little babies located above your kidneys need constant support in order for your hormonal cascade to be in check (or on fleek? Can I even use that here? Actually, should I ever use that?! I’ll just quit while I’m ahead)

Food & Wine | It’s easier than ever to have your very own #TetleyTeaParty

I am a coffee fanatic. With a busy schedule and life, you wouldn’t want to see me at 5am without a big mug full of caffeine. That being said, I also really love a cup of tea. There is something soothing about it and heaven is a place on earth while I sip that cup soaking in a hot tub. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I am at peace with the world.

Recently Julio & I had the chance to attend a #TetleyTeaParty at Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto. During this immaculately executed event (follow the #TetleyTeaParty hashtag to see what I mean!), I was introduced to pairing tea with food. Having never experienced this to the level of wine pairings I am so adept in, I was pleasantly immersed in a whole new world. You could say I enjoyed steeping in the process of it all. Yes. I just did that.

With four flavours in the Tetley Signature Collection that we sampled, no matter what the occasion, Tetley Canada has a tea for you. Be it to soak in the tub after a long day or to enjoy with a beautiful meal, there is something for everyone. The Signature Collection takes tea to a new height with elegant blends and coy names. Take a peak at what we had the chance to enjoy and keep stocked in our pantry ever since! Continue reading “Food & Wine | It’s easier than ever to have your very own #TetleyTeaParty”
