Travel & Lifestyle | How I’m celebrating #WorldStationeryDay with PAPYRUS

Being that I am a hopeless romantic, it should come as no shock that I love to send letters in the mail to my friends and family. There is something incredibly beautiful about taking a few minutes to pick out a card or beautiful stationary and send someone in your life a beautiful sentiment to make them smile or laugh.

The Philippines is one of the hottest new destinations and Canadians are flocking there for good reason – come see why!

Food & Wine | 2016 Kosher Food & Wine London Event #KFWE

Did you miss out on the #KFWE16?  Save the date and book early for 2017!

This year Brittany and I were lucky enough to attend the sold-out Kosher Food & Wine Event at the beautiful art-deco Sheraton Hotel on Park Lane.  In the lead up to the event, we had watched the amazing videos of  similar events held all over the world and were very intrigued for what was to come.

I will admit to not knowing a huge amount about the Jewish culture or the kosher practice in general, so I was excited to experience kosher wine and to learn more about the culture behind it…
