With Love, Siempre xo

I remember first meeting Alex Lacroix at a now defunct Mexican restaurant in the distillery district of Toronto for a media event introducing a new tequila to me in 2015-ish. This was before I had ever really explored Mexico – not the beaches and resorts we all love, but Mexico City, Oaxaca and the interior that truly define the soul of a country I could see myself calling home. Where I truly learned about the artistry behind Mezcal and Tequila, which one day years later would become my favourite of all. And at the top of that list, Siempre Tequila would find its way into my heart and never leave.

Finding That Middle Ground

It seems like we haven’t sat down together in a long time. Like many of you I have been busy enjoying life and the travel opportunities that have presented themselves to me over the last few months. I am often jet setting from one destination to the next in break neck speed that I forget to stop and really appreciate the moment. In life I find things can get like that pretty easily if you don’t remind yourself that it’s more about the journey than the destination. Thankfully, recently I was able to find that literal and proverbial middle ground with Julio & Rebecca in Kingston.

Like I’ve Been Holding My Breath All Along

I think I’ve been starting at my computer screen for days. A thought sparks in my brain about what I want to write about, or what deal I need to get started on, and for the first 30 seconds I get going and it’s magic.

Shortly after I find myself distracted and pulled in another direction. I want to be simultaneously blogging, creating REELs, sending invoices, actually figuring out what the fuck I’m doing with myself these days, spend time with Julio, drink wine, talk to my friends, pay down some bills, workout. That’s just to name a few of the thoughts and directions I am pulled in at any given time of day.

Some might say I’m in the midst of an epic burnout (again), but the fact remains that any business owner lives this every day. Big, small, entrepreneur and everything in between. Working for yourself may seem fabulous but it’s a lot of juggling and just keeping your head above water. Like I am holding my breath and hoping for this rough patch to just finally be done.

As the summer officially starts to wind down, it’s time to think about the Labour Day long weekend and planning weekends in the fall – which I have to admit is my favourite season of all. Ontario offers some of the most beautiful destinations, and while many of us dream of beaches and plane trips, I am also here to remind you that a perfect weekend can happen just a few hours away. So it’s time to pack up your special someone, grab the dog, and come along with me to one the best kept secret Ontario has to offer.
