There Has Never Been a Better Time to Get Away

The more time I spend away from Toronto, the more I come to realize that I love that city so much.

While Ottawa is “home” – and it is beautiful, don’t get me wrong – there is a special feeling of excitement that I get every time I come back to Toronto for work or a visit with Julio. During my most recent visit, I was in town for the longest visit since I moved earlier this year, and I was having epiphanies about the city and life that I never thought I would have. After ten years of living in Toronto, did it take me leaving to finally appreciate the city? ?

The Most Festive Experience to Get You in The Holiday Spirit

While the holidays are going to look a little different this year, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t magical experiences for you to enjoy safely in your own city with your loved ones. I am a huge proponent for shop local, stay local and spend local, and I’ve found the most festive experience EVER that I want everyone in Toronto to enjoy. Let me tell you all about it!

Let’s Talk About Those #Views

Working through the challenging moments of 2020 has definitely taught me a lot about myself. From the every day stresses of paying bills and working from home, to the bigger thoughts of what’s 2021 going to be like, something I now know is that it is important to disconnect. Over the last few months Julio and I have been showcasing some ways to relax and have a change of scenery, and this past weekend we did just that on a #Staycation fit for a Queen.

Falling In Love All Over Again

Julio and I recently recorded an upcoming television segment where we were asked what COVID19 felt like. It took me some time to come up with the answer – not because I didn’t have one, but rather because it was a lot of emotion to express at once. It has been like dating for the first time all over again.

That time in a relationship when you spend every hour of every day you possibly can together. Because you couldn’t bare to be apart – except for this time, it was thrust upon us. I found myself laughing more, living more and being more myself than I had when “life” was happening at that insane pace we all lived. So now that we have fallen in love all over again it seems, I find myself wanting to do for him the same things I did in the beginning and forgot the importance of.
