Kinda looks like this is slowly turning into a travel blog huh? Really though, I love making these posts for myself more than anything. It's my digital travel scrapbook that allows me to go down memory lane later on and remember all the amazing places I've been and the details that would easily get forgotten over time if I didn't make note of them. If it inspires or helps a fellow wanderluster … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: New Mexico Balloon Fiesta
Thanksgiving was a little different around here this year. While most people were perfecting their pumpkin pie making skills and digging out their stretchy pants from the bottom of their closet, I decided to jump on a plane and head to New Mexico. Obviously. Ok, maybe not so obvious. Timing was a bit unfortunate in the family holiday dept but kinda perfect in the travel bucket list dept. A few … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: California Road Trip Part 2
So last time I checked in here I was telling you all about our amazing California road trip. It was so awesome, in fact, that it needed two whole posts. As promised, here I am with part 2. For those sitting at the edge of your seat on public transit (or in a public washroom) while you read this - we last left you in Malibu. Part 1 was all about the city and stunning ocean drive views - with a wild … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: California Road Trip Part 1
previous postFor real though, it took an amazing and epic California road trip to get me back to blogging. Not because I didn't have good intentions but getting a full-time gig (see my previous post) where I helped to create content every day kinda took all the juice out of me. But leave it up to sunny and beautiful California to get me so excited that I want to share again. It's funny how that … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: Nova Scotia is good for the soul
This has been the Summer of short but sweet escapes. Sometimes all you need is a week or an extra long weekend to take a break from the every day and soak up a bit of Summer.

My friends at Expedia.ca so … [Read more...]
Sweet Escape: 11 Hidden Gems to Visit and Stay in Canada
Summer = vacation time, amiright? I don't know about you but I get resentful towards all the back to school and fall fashion advertising that hits us as soon as the calendar flips to August. Summer is short, let us enjoy it! So yes, it's August but there's still plenty of time to get out there and explore. Many of us have already ventured out of our little country to explore the little gems that … [Read more...]
Travel: A Sweet Escape to Paris
You probably didn't even have a chance to miss me but I'm back! It's kinda crazy that I booked my flight to Paris last fall and now it's come and gone. Seriously, time moves at lightening speed.

From packing the perfect outfits to making sure my Instagram following was up to scratch with the other … [Read more...]
TRAVEL: New York City
If you follow along on Instagram then you know that I recently spent a week in NYC and today I have a bunch more photos and info to share about my trip.

That's what so great about New York because there's soooooooo much … [Read more...]
Blogger Babes in Jamaica Part 2 – Jerk Chicken Recipe
So here's the really juicy details about my Jamaican trip - the food! I confess that I'm a bit of a jerk chicken junkie. I happen to live in a neighbourhood with 2 places to get delish jerk chicken which is both wonderful and horrible. Wonderful because, well it's jerk chicken. Horrible because every single time I go shopping to get healthy fruits and vegetables in the market I'm suckered in by … [Read more...]

A Weekend in Prince Edward County
I hope you all had a great weekend! It was the long Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so today is really like a Monday for me. Posting on Tuesday has nothing at all to do with the fact that I'm soooo behind in blog world. The truth is that I have so much cool stuff to share with you but no time to sit down and blog about it. These things don't just write themselves you know. And that's exactly … [Read more...]

Hey all. So what did you get up to this weekend? We had our big annual Nuit Blanche here in Toronto. There's always quite the buzz with the main streets closed, lots of cool art and thousands of people roaming the streets. BUT if crowds and huge public events aren't your thing, maybe you escaped the city. Or perhaps just dreamed about escaping for the weekend. I did enjoy the weekend … [Read more...]

SPACES & TRAVEL: treehouse heaven Part 1
If you follow along on Instagram you may have seen a few shots from this amazing treehouse I stayed at just over a week ago. I'm kinda a tease because I never like to give too much away on Instagram. Also I would've flooded your feed because it was such a stunning place - so stunning that I have to do a two-part post. This one is all about the treehouse and tomorrow is about the rest of the … [Read more...]
