It’s that time of year where giving back and supporting our communities is top of mind. I’m a big believer that we should find ways to keep the spirit of giving alive all year and not just when the need is at its highest. I also understand that it can be hard to choose a…

Review: Farmr Eatery and Catering
Living in the city can get hard sometimes. Don’t’ get me wrong, for the most part I love it, but being at a distance from family can be difficult. This Thanksgiving was particularly hard because I had plans to go home but got sick and ended up staying in the city. Seeing everyone’s family dinners…
Brunches with Bottomless Booze
Update: November 21, 2018 Not on the list below are also: Marben – $29 for a two-hour Mimosa Service on Saturday between 11-3PM It’s me again, talking about my favourite thing. Brunch. I’ve been asked a few times why I enjoy brunch so much and I don’t know if I have a simple answer. I…
Travel: 24 Hours in Prince Edward County
I can’t believe that it took me this long to get out to Prince Edward County, otherwise known as PEC. I was always so envious of the photos I saw on social media and of course, of all the wine tasting. A few friends and I were talking about doing a quick weekend getaway so…
Review: Chez’s Restaurant
College Street is probably one of my favourite streets in the city and the one where I have the most memories. When I was fresh out of school, I used to party on College ALL the time and then ironically, a few years later, I landed a job right on the main strip. 8 years…
Recipe: Chia Seed Pudding
There’s no denying it. I have a sweet tooth, and a pretty intense one. This is why if you ever come to my home, you’ll probably never find any treats because a) I try not to buy them and b) I’ve probably already eaten all of them. Now that summer is winding down and comfort…
City Life: TIFF ’18 My Movies to Watch
Being a local while TIFF is happening in the city can be really interesting. Even more interesting when it’s happening down the street from you. In some ways I feel extremely proud that my home city is hosting a world renowned festival that has been around for almost 40 years (I know!) and attracts the…
Review: Noce Restaurant
If you’ve asked me for a restaurant recommendation lately, I’ve probably suggested you try Noce. Over the last year I’ve been there a few times, both spontaneously and for official tastings. Each time I have left more impressed with the food, the team and their commitment to creating an authentic Italian dining experience in Toronto….
Review: The Ten Spot Gel Mani/Pedi
Hair done, nails done, everything ‘did. Yup, it’s in your head now. I try not to be too high maintenance when it comes to beauty upkeep, but the one thing that is a must for me is having my nails done. I’m one of those weird people that is quite conscious of their hands. God…
Recipe: Roasted Broccoli
So apparently you guys really like broccoli. Who knew? Not one of my favourite vegetables but for some reason when I think of eating healthy it’s the first one that comes to mind. I think the only time I like it is when it’s smothered in cheese and baked into a pastry dish or casserole. …
