Here’s What Happens When Icons Collide

If there is one thing that makes me happy in this world as a content creator, it is an immaculately executed campaign. If I’m being honest, it’s probably the marketing geek in me that can just sit back and appreciate the power of icons colliding to create something so beautiful. Over the years I’ve been blessed to be a part of several moments like the one I’m writing about today – yes, you guessed it, I’m here to celebrate and idolize the #DomPérignonxLadyGaga collaboration that was recently announced.

So let’s talk about why you can pretty much consider this my pre-order.

Why I’m Okay With My Fifteen Minutes of Fame Winding Down

It’s been about eight years since the photo above was taken. Since that moment so much has changed for us together as a couple and for us as individuals. It goes without saying that we’ve done a lot of growing up. I’ve worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, I’ve jet set around the world for events and activations, I’ve met and chatted with celebrities local and international, and I’ve even had up to fifteen staff. As I head in to April 2021, my door isn’t knocked on as much as it once was as a creator. But if I’m being perfectly honest, I’m not that upset about that fact and I thought I’d sit down to talk about it.

A Form of Self-Expression

Having not sat down to write a blog post in some time, I find myself feeling relieved at the chance to write and get back to something that feeds my soul in ways nothing else can.

Life got really busy this year, in a lot of different ways. Had you asked me a year ago where I thought I would be in life, it certainly wouldn’t be here. Not that this place in life – both physically and mentally – is bad, but it’s just not what I expected. I guess that is sort of a beautiful thought if you think about it. You’re never quite sure where life is going to take you, but as long as you continue to follow your heart and express what you want and deserve, it’s never going to be dull. Maybe that sentiment is what inspired this recent blog post. Let’s see if you agree.

Here’s How to Have the Perfect Last Minute Romantic Getaway

When it comes to seeing Julio over the last year while living in Ottawa, I’ve had to get a little creative. From secret Via Rail tickets for the weekend to trips to Vancouver when the plane ticket price is right, it’s all about romance and making the effort for each other. While the long distance thing has been incredibly challenging, there’s something to be said about missing each other and the romance that it has rekindled in being apart. So on what I assume is the last last minute romantic getaway to Toronto of 2021, I thought I’d share how I plan to make him feel special when I head to Toronto this weekend.
