Toronto | Shangri-La Hotel Toronto X Luca Cinalli of Nightjar London create the best cocktails in Toronto

With the autumn well under way and beauty all around us, I am left switching my mentality to more indoor activities and entertainment. I love to spend as much time outdoors exploring the city I love, and I would always recommend you do the same. As the colder weather begins to creep over Canadian cities from coast to coast, I am of course drawn to the idea of getting on a plane with Julio and going away. I got to thinking where in the world I would take him and the answer became evident. London is my favourite city in the world and I have seen the globe twice over. From the culture to the class found in every corner.. It’s hard to explain but it just feels like the city I am supposed to end up in.

So when Shangri-La Hotel Toronto contacted me to speak of a visit from award winning mixologist Luca Cinalli of The Nighthjar in London, I was intrigued to say the least. His visit coincides with the launch of a brand new cocktail list at one of my favourite places to escape the cold in Toronto. Be it for a stay in the hotel or a delicious meal at bosk, the fact remains that the following four cocktails are the best in Toronto. THAT is a bold statement, but once you read about them and Luca’s masterful art, I have no doubt you’ll be heading to Shangri-La Hotel Toronto to try them all for yourself. Don’t forget to drink responsibly, but I do guess that some young adults may want to join in on the fun and some of the best fake ID sites out there will be inundated with requests!

I feel like nowadays everyone is doing yoga. The internet is littered with photos of people in exotic places posing in seemingly flawless positions posted alongside inspirational quotes or hashtags about how balanced and zen they currently feel. Well, you know what, that’s just not real life. I’m not trashing yoga, it’s incredible, but for once I want to see what someone like me looks like after a 75 minute hot yoga session. (Let me give you a hint, it’s not something I would post alongside an inspirational quote).

Health & Nutrition | Anthony Passero Salon | The Hair Whisperer

Review by Catherine’s Cabinet

It’s been a while since I’ve had my hair styled professionally and let me tell you why. A) It can be a serious investment financially; B) I’m petrified of chemicals, especially near my brain (yes I’m crazy); and C) It takes time to build a solid relationship with a GOOD hair stylist and let’s be honest, I lack in the free-time department these days. Fortunately, some of us have options when it comes to going to a beauty salon. For example, some of you can venture to a beauty salon in Maidenhead and get yourself all dolled up, but I don’t really have the time to do that as much as I want to.
