How to Plan The Perfect Long Weekend in Toronto

As we officially enter into the second half of 2021, I am very much looking forward to an amazing (long) weekend ahead with Julio and Canela in Toronto. These kinds of trips don’t happen often (while we continue to do the long distance thing) so I wanted to ensure I planned the best experience I possibly could. In hopes of inspiring safe and beautiful travel of your very own. Whether you’re celebrating two dose summer or playing staycation as a Torontonian, I’ve put together the perfect long weekend list for your enjoyment.

Here’s why I’m not keeping anymore beauty secrets

Recently Julio has been sharing a lot about beauty and celebrity culture online via his social media channels and it really got me thinking. For years I’ve read and written about ‘beauty secrets’ because that was the narrative of the time we lived in. We have been programmed as a society to search out those miracle beauty treatments and quick fixes that can make us look like those magazine covers and celebrities and for so long we all thought that one cream, one treatment, one food could make it all better. I’m here to tell you that the fact is there isn’t one beauty trick that can help you look like Jennifer L. (don’t feel like getting sued) and, trust me, it’s not just olive oil. It’s a lot of moving pieces and turns out, I’m okay with talking about it.

Toronto is about to get a HUGE outdoor circus experience you don’t want to miss!

While Ottawa is home, I still often find myself checking in on the scene in Toronto. Not only because it’s where I can see my husband amid all of this, but because that city will always hold a special place in my heart. Thankfully small breaks in a busy schedule allow me to come back for visits and this summer I am lucky enough to be getting a preview of Together Apart, Summer Cirque 2021 – and trust me when I say that this is going to be one of the hottest experiences this summer!

Here’s A Few Things I’m Going to Need You to Stop Asking Me.

I know I really try to lean into the light and fun things about life. I love to make you smile with my content and share in the things that bring me joy. That being said, I am a human being (despite what some haters might say) and I do have feelings on both sides of the spectrum. I’m allowed to be sad, and sometimes even be angry. I know that the world has a lot of changing still to do, but this Pride month has proven to be quite challenging (and triggering) for me. So in an effort to identify and subsequently process those emotions, I thought I would share a few things I’m going to need some of you to stop asking me in order for this to stay a happy and healthy relationship.
