Travel & Lifestyle | Why I’m still dreaming about the #InsiderCollective experience at W Montréal

There are certain things that I have been lucky enough to share on the blog that stand out as perfect memories. That’s a strong word to use, but to me they embody a moment in my life that I will never forget because they were filled with laughter and joy. Earlier this year, our friends at W Montréal invited us to visit alongside a few select colleagues to experience what their hotel is all about (you’ll remember we shared the excitement here).  Weeks later, I am left dreaming of the experience and excited to plan a return with Julio to do it all again. Come and read about what the #InsiderCollective experience meant to me and why it was, in all senses of the word, perfect.  Continue reading “Travel & Lifestyle | Why I’m still dreaming about the #InsiderCollective experience at W Montréal”

Travel & Lifestyle | Life gets busy, but never forget to #FindYourMagic

There are mornings when I wake up and my to do list is so long, I don’t even know where to start. I think a lot of us feel that way in our daily lives and we can get a little lost in the mix.

Travel & Lifestyle | The best dog bed you’ll ever own

The words memory foam usually inspire thoughts of sweet dreams and a good night’s sleep. So why would you not want these things for your pet vs the “other” types of dog beds on the market? I had no idea there were so many different types of dog beds available for our furry companions. I’m not even joking, there is one for everything that you might need. Like did you realise that there are beds for dogs with arthritis? It’s not just about choosing the right size anymore, it’s all about how beneficial the bed will be for your dog. Choosing one has been an interesting challenge, especially because we were hoping to find a bed that could provide a calming place for them to sleep. Canela has taught me a lot as my first dog, and one of those lessons is that a good dog bed is hard to find… until now. Recently launched by our friends at World of Angus, the is a must-have in our house and we’ve got all the reasons why. But first, if stress and anxiety are stopping your dog from enjoying enough sleep, you might want to do some research into products that can help your pet to relax and unwind.

With this being said, there are plenty of different products out there to help your dog to feel calmer, so do not be afraid to shop around.
