Reflecting Back on 2019

In case you haven’t already been told, it’s officially the end of decade! Where does the time go? Admittedly, New Years is not my favourite holiday.

Summer is here which means the temperatures are warmer and the sun is stronger than ever. I have to admit, I took sun protection for granted for a really long time.

I want to preface this post by saying that meditation is a very personal journey and what works for one person may not work for another. Just like trying out a fitness classes or picking…

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…
