The City is Mine

A Weekend in Scottsdale

There’s nothing like a trip to a warm destination to get you ready for the summer months, especially if you live in Canada where we’re pretty much begging for the heat at this time of year. If you’re following me on Instagram (@thecityismineTO) then you know that I recently took a long overdue girls trip…

SoSo Food Club Review

I haven’t done a solid restaurant review in what feels like months and by the sounds of it, it’s something you lovely folks are interested in seeing more of. I will try, I promise. This most recent food adventure took me to SoSo Food Club, a spot that is only about a year old and…

April – Things to Do in Toronto

Well friends, it looks like we might actually be done with Winter. Who’s excited? This girl is. The snow is melting, the sun is coming out which means I’m also coming out of hibernation! I was so done with Winter that I couldn’t even get myself to put together a list of March events. Yeah…

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

I have a new found love for baking. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was mostly because of how my condo smells after I’m done. I think one of the reasons I gravitate towards baking is that it is so methodical. There are exact measurements which all come together perfectly to create…

Travel: How To Pack a Carry-On

When it comes to packing, I have to say that I’ve developed my own Marie Kondo-esque system. I used to be that girl who had to take a massive suitcase with her anytime she got on a plane. Whenever I returned home, I realized I didn’t use or wear HALF of what I had taken…

Recipe: Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

There are some recipes that are, for a lack of a better word, intimidating. I avoid these recipes mainly because if I mess it up then I really don’t want to have to go down to Subway and settle for a sandwich. Pulled pork has been one of those intimidating recipes for me because you…

Easy Ways to Give Back

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…

City Life: Hosting Parties in a Condo

I love to host parties. Let me rephrase that. I love the IDEA of hosting parties. Living in a condo can make it hard to throw the kind of party I want because of the limited space. I’m slowly starting to get better by hosting smaller groups but even so, it can be a lot…
