How Do You Top Celebrity Recognition & Michelin Guide Fame?

That’s the real question for some of Canada’s best chefs and restaurants. How do you top yourself when you’ve reached the pinnacle of culinary recognition time and time again? With PAI, Kiin, and Sukhothai now wildly successful establishments in the Toronto food scene, Chef Nuit Regular is about to show us that after all the buzz there is still so much to achieve and create with the upcoming opening of Makilala. Without having even opened its doors to the public yet, there is already so much buzz around this latest project, and for good reason.

Samsung Flips The Mobile Device World on its Head

By now you will have seen that amid my adventures around Toronto, I am reconnecting in fabulous new ways with brands that I have loved working with for over a decade. From NDA previews, to my highly anticipated new television coming for my new home, Samsung Canada and I have been working together a lot more and I love sharing all about their experiences, products, pop-ups and so much more. That’s why their latest launch has me so excited and why I simply have to tell you about it!

Toronto Welcomes a New Hot Spot to Dundas West

In case you haven’t noticed on my social media account, now that I’m home, I am all about good food, good vibes and good people. You can click here, here, and here to see what I mean. One thing that I love about being back is immersing myself into the incredible and booming food scene. Recently opened on Dundas West, Taberna Lx is already making waves and I can’t wait to visit as soon as possible.

That’s Just The Way The Cookie Crumbles, or Whatever…

I did that thing again. The one I said I wasn’t going to do anymore. Because I’m “supposed to be” the happier, healthier, better off without the past. A “so-much-stronger version” of me. I am not those things, and I’m tired of being a measure of healing, so I did it again and I can’t deny it.

I’ve been avoiding you and I got really quiet. But more so, I’ve been avoiding me. I try so desperately to believe that everything happens for a reason. That’s what they all say, right? So when does that ethereal and magical acceptance and release start?

Navigating divorce, the dreams and goals I loved being set one fire, all while trying to navigate the complex emotions and transitions that come with it has not been a kind process to me. I have quite literally clawed my way back from the brink of destruction at the ending my the life I fought so fucking hard for, only to feel more lost and confused than ever.
