A Getaway Idea That Won’t Break The Bank

As someone that has been trying to pinch his pennies and stick to an excel spreadsheet budget that stares me in the face as I sit down to write this post, I can usually be found scrolling through travel accounts on Instagram or following along with my favourite bloggers while they jetset around the world. Although that once was the life I called my own, I’m actually much happier to be where I am today, saving for a baby with my husband and working towards our dreams.

A How To Guide To Feeling Beautiful This Summer

I remember the first time I walked into Saks Fifth Avenue’s Toronto location at the corner of Yonge & Queen with Julio. His eyes lit up as we walked into the stores iconic fashion and beauty departments. Known for years in my mind as a destination we had to visit every time we went to NYC, it was nice to know that the brand we had respectively come to love was finally in our city. While I’ve come to memorize the space (and designer bags Julio points out to me regularly), one of the things I have come to love most about Saks is their beauty and fragrance departments. While I used to feel out of place, their associates have really helped make those topics understandable and approachable for me.
