Life is busy. So now what?

Last year, I caught myself saying things like “I’ll get to it when things aren’t so crazy” or “There isn’t enough time in the day!” The funny thing is that the more connected we are with one another online and around the world, I think that sometimes we become less connected with ourselves. I had to face some pretty challenging moments that have offered me a perspective on life that I now use as a pseudo-mantra of sorts. Today I wanted to share a few life hacks that I use to keep myself balanced and from loosing my sh*t on those days when it all feels like too much.  Continue reading “Life is busy. So now what?”

Food & Wine | It’s easier than ever to have your very own #TetleyTeaParty

I am a coffee fanatic. With a busy schedule and life, you wouldn’t want to see me at 5am without a big mug full of caffeine. That being said, I also really love a cup of tea. There is something soothing about it and heaven is a place on earth while I sip that cup soaking in a hot tub. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I am at peace with the world.

Recently Julio & I had the chance to attend a #TetleyTeaParty at Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto. During this immaculately executed event (follow the #TetleyTeaParty hashtag to see what I mean!), I was introduced to pairing tea with food. Having never experienced this to the level of wine pairings I am so adept in, I was pleasantly immersed in a whole new world. You could say I enjoyed steeping in the process of it all. Yes. I just did that.

With four flavours in the Tetley Signature Collection that we sampled, no matter what the occasion, Tetley Canada has a tea for you. Be it to soak in the tub after a long day or to enjoy with a beautiful meal, there is something for everyone. The Signature Collection takes tea to a new height with elegant blends and coy names. Take a peak at what we had the chance to enjoy and keep stocked in our pantry ever since! Continue reading “Food & Wine | It’s easier than ever to have your very own #TetleyTeaParty”

Family Lifestyle | It’s Tea Time!

When I think of fall, I think of beautiful colours, falling leaves, pumpkins, sweaters and tea! I’ve never been a coffee drinker. I know what you’re thinking, how did I survive the newborn years (yes, I said years haha) without coffee?! Honestly, I don’t have a clue! One of the bonuses that has come from not drinking coffee though is that I don’t have any stained teeth. My friend is a frequent drinker of coffee and unfortunately, she has a couple of stained teeth which she now feels insecure about. Luckily for her, she has recently visited this Dentist in Newmarket and has booked herself in for a teeth whitening service so hopefully, she will get her old smile back soon. And this is one of the many reasons why I don’t drink coffee. But, I drink tea in the same way others drink coffee! I love sitting down to a cup of hot tea to warm up, start my day or after a long day to unwind (chai is my favourite!). When I discovered DAVIDsTEA a few years back it was life changing! For you coffee drinkers there have always been a plethora (my $25 word of the day) of flavours and blends to choose from, but tea has always been sort of basic. DAVIDsTEA is like a heaven for tea lovers, there are sooo many different options and flavours it’s almost impossible to decide!
