#TIFF16 | #EssentialsLounge7 could not have been better

The Toronto International Film Festival is one of my favourite times of year, and the whirlwind surrounding it amid screenings and events can lead to a busy schedule to say the least. This year our 2016 coverage included some of the best screenings, celebrity soirées and of course gifting lounges. Year after year, we always look forward to attending the EGPR Essentials Lounge which is in fact tailored towards the media attending the TIFF festivities. This year’s #EssentialsLounge7 was perfect in all respects and we have all the details for you! Continue reading “#TIFF16 | #EssentialsLounge7 could not have been better”

Events | Come get a sneak peek event to celebrate the launch of Nintendo’s YO-KAI WATCH 2 games and toys!

For those of you who have gotten to know me over the years, you’ll realize that I am a big kid at heart. When we have the opportunity, Julio & I can usually be found on Saturday mornings eating sugary cereal watching cartoons. Amid Pokémon, Power Rangers and a few others, we’ve gotten looped into the world of YO-KAI WATCH. That’s why when our friends at Nintendo told us about a sneak peek event taking place here in Toronto to preview the NEW YO-KAI WATCH 2: Bony Spirits and YO-KAI WATCH 2: Fleshy Souls video games for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems before they come out on September 30, we knew we HAD to there.

Travel & Lifestyle | When worlds collide – Hudson’s Bay x Barbie

There are a few things that I consider to be quintessentially Canadian. In many way, Canada was historically founded by the Hudson’s Bay and since that time, it has helped to shape and mold our country into the great white north.

I believe that Barbie has the power to help shape the children of Canada with their ideals and toys. Their recent campaigns are aimed at empowering young girls and boys to be whatever they want to be – so why not embrace all it means to be Canadian along with us by getting yours before they sell out!  Continue reading “Travel & Lifestyle | When worlds collide – Hudson’s Bay x Barbie”

Travel & Lifestyle | It’s time to get away with Catalonia Hotels & Rauxa Tulum

The summer is coming to an end, and with that, it means that it’s probably time to start thinking about a vacation. I know that I could use one! Earlier this year I had the pleasure of visiting Catalonia Hotels’ Royal Tulum with Julio and Nick to unwind and relax at one of our favourite destinations in The Caribbean. Not only did we immerse ourselves in the resort and the beauty of Mexico, but we also were some of the first people to experience the NEW Rauxa Restaurant & Show! Come and see how this experience is one you simply have to experience for yourself as soon as possible!
