In this post, I'm gonna pretend that there's no pandemic. This isn't a pantry hack or a "what can you bake with 3 ingredients" quarantine edition. This is simply a fun, easy, summery dessert recipe. The long weekend being the official kick-off of summer inspired me to bake something bright, fresh and light. To me, … Continue reading Creamy Lemon Squares
You would think that with all this free time, us beauty junkies would be self-caring like crazy. The truth is, being at home during a pandemic, dealing with uncertainty and cabin fever, has caught me in a sluggish Netflix/couch cycle instead. In the 45 days that I've been home, I've had very little energy or … Continue reading Beauty Pampering at Home
If there's one positive thing to come out of this strange and uneasy time, it's our ability to turn to creativity for our mental and emotional survival. Through memes, YouTube or TikTok videos circulating amongst our group chats and Zoom videos, our creativity has proven to comfort one another through comedy, relatability, inspiration and just … Continue reading Getty Museum Recreation
I haven’t seen a sunset in over a month. That's 31 days of Spring without a sunset. For a lot of us right now, it's an unusual new reality. Sunsets are a daily occurrence that some may take for granted, but not me. I’m that quintessential sucker for sunsets. Why? Because even though I've seen … Continue reading The Best Sunsets of My Life
Now more than ever my baking urges have intensified, keeping me on my feet and distracted; focused on something else other than the news or being a Netflix potato. But most importantly, baking is a form of creative expression for me. It's a fun outlet that produces delicious outcomes. Just like for everyone else, this … Continue reading Earl Grey Yogurt Cake
Well, things just got real. You've probably been summoned to work from home and if this is your first time working from home, or at least for a longer period of time than you're used to, then you're probably a little out of sorts, and you're definitely starting to get cabin fever. This is especially … Continue reading Helpful Tips for Working From Home
Thought I'd interrupt your feed from COVID-19 content to whoever needs it. I myself have taken a break from the headlines and memes, and shifted my focus back to the every day of normal life. If you're feeling the same, then hi! That said, I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and of each … Continue reading Appreciating the Now
Leave it to the shortest month of the year to be packed with special occasions. Some of my most favourite people celebrated a milestone chapter in their life, succeeded a professional accomplishment, started a new job, and two very dear people to me have birthdays during this month. Basically, celebrating life is how this February … Continue reading Winter ONE-derland for a First Birthday
It's only natural that my first blog post of 2020 would be wedding-related because...we've officially started planning our wedding! 😀 But even for a list-making, multitasking, detail-oriented Virgo who’s worked in the wedding industry for four years and can whip up a mood board with my eyes closed...I gotta say, I'm learning a lot. Despite … Continue reading Maid of Honour Proposal
Today marks four years since we signed a lease and moved in together. The evening we received our keys, we got a little Christmas tree for our new place symbolizing the start of a new chapter in both of our lives: we were both moving out of our parents' house for the first time, and … Continue reading Cozy Christmas Decor
When I decided to add a Recipes section to my blog, I never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I did. I never considered myself a "pro" recipe blogger, and I still don't, but the fact is this: I love food, I love to cook, and I love to bake. But I especially love … Continue reading Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
A travel post on Montreal was long overdue on the blog considering it's a city I've visited many times on family trips, work trips or as you've recently come to know, impromptu winter adventures. Without a doubt though, our recent trip there was notably the most special. So I thought I'd share six "Montreal Musts" while imprints … Continue reading Travel Stamp: Montréal
The Fall season has been pretty extraordinary this year. So much so that I want to savour it in this blog post, especially since it's been snowing and already below zero cold since Monday. Switching my leather jacket to a winter parka was a quick adjustment I wasn't ready to make so suddenly. I was … Continue reading Bittersweet Farewell to October
They say that you learn a lot about someone when you travel with them, and that couldn't be more true. "Montreal" represents a special milestone in our story, and not just because we are poutine enthusiasts or because I'm a proud Francophone. Montreal was the first trip we took together, and that trip was the … Continue reading A Love Story in Montreal
Hair spraying my hair "cartoon red" for a Cheryl Blossom costume felt familiarly nostalgic, and inspired me to go back to my original redheaded favourite. Happy Halloween! XO ❤
