The City is Mine

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…

City Life: My Summer Skincare Routine

A short disclaimer. I am not a dermatologist or any kind of skincare expert. I have built my routines on research, reviews that I’ve read and of course some good ol’ trial and error. This is also NOT a sponsored post. These are genuinely all products that I have bought, used and live by. Living…

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. …

City Life: How To Design Your Condo Balcony

My balcony is tiny. I mean, it’s miniscule. If I were to lie down, I’m pretty sure I would fit perfectly within it. Needless to say, I’m not throwing any day jams out there but I still wanted to have a space that was decent enough to hang out on, have my morning coffee, read…

Travel: 72 Hours in New York, New York

Oh New York City. My love affair with the city that never sleeps continues. It seems as though I somehow find myself in New York at least once a year. And no matter how many times I go, I always feel like there is something new to explore, an interesting experience to be had and…

My Favourite Toronto Patios

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The sun is out, my freckles are appearing again, clothes are lighter and the general mood in the air is just happier. Summer, you are the best. Summer also means getting out and enjoying the weather as much as possible because sadly, we know what is waiting…
