Making My House a Home

Going into another busy week for us here at the blog, I am at the office today with another exciting list of things to do. From meeting some of our idols over the last few weeks, to the ability to learn about new brands, there’s never a dull moment for us around here! Recently I had the pleasure of being introduced to MODERN INDIA: the latest collection by Mobilia Canada with Calgary based designer and style expert Aly Velji – and it helped to rekindle a desire to make the house I now live in a home again. As the collection heads into your local Mobilia Canada store in the coming weeks, come take a look at some of my favourite items that I hope to add into my life and why it is important to create the oasis I deserve.  Continue reading “Making My House a Home”

Moments & Memories That Deserve To Be Celebrated

Over the past few years, I have come to appreciate the moments that I am lucky enough to share with you all more and more. I think that amid a busy schedule, writing blog posts, meetings and everything that goes into running the blog with Catherine, I sometimes got lost in the pace of it all. Since losing my Dad in 2016, and facing some health issues of my own, I am reminded how short life really can be and how it is important to cherish the beautiful moments because I never want to take anything (or anyone) for granted ever again. So when the team at Grand Marnier Canada recently invited me to celebrate #WeLiveGrand at Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Toronto, I knew it would be a magical night that I simply had to share with you. It also brought back beautiful memories of a brand that has been a part of my life for a very long time.  Continue reading “Moments & Memories That Deserve To Be Celebrated”

Nothing is More Memorable Than The Perfect Fragrance

Have you ever been walking, minding your business or lost in emails on your phone during a busy day, and smelled something that made you stop in your tracks? This happens to me all the time. Whether it’s the smell of turkey this past weekend that immediately brought me back to memories of my mom & dad in the kitchen in Ottawa during Thanksgiving, or the smell of a cologne that brought back memories of specific men in my life. I am someone who loves to smell good and I believe that choosing the right fragrance completes my morning routine. Earlier this year I was introduced to two scents that I have added to my rotation (yes, I collect fragrances. A habit I picked up in my last relationship) and I wanted to share why each of them adds something distinct to my day-to-day life.)

Great Minds Think Alike

You’ll remember that we were introduced to Audible last year during an epic whirlwind trip to Montreal alongside some of our favourite influencers and members of the media. On that trip I came to appreciate the simplicity is downloading an app that was just for me. Not that I don’t love sharing our adventures on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and the litany of other social platforms we exist on… but sometimes it’s nice to do something for just me, you know? Recently I found out about the exciting new collaboration they have recently announced with Ryerson University and I wanted to share the news with you all!  Continue reading “Great Minds Think Alike”
