It's only natural that my first blog post of 2020 would be wedding-related because...we've officially started planning our wedding! đ But even for a list-making, multitasking, detail-oriented Virgo whoâs 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: MontrĂ©al
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 â€
Halloween costumes are a favourite on this blog. From unicorn costumes to Ariel costumes, I always look forward to this time of the year to post about what creative direction I decided to venture into for Halloween. This year was particularly fun because I got to be in my usual colourful costumes, and I also got … Continue reading Dark Moon Empress Halloween Costume
Like many, there are certain baked-goods that are my "go-to's" for a select Holiday or season. My lavender cookies are my staple for Spring, my gingerbread cookies are my Christmas must-haves, and my strawberry cupcakes are...well, let's be real, that can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Truthfully, any baked-good can be enjoyed at any time … Continue reading Pumpkin Bread with Salted Maple Butter
I recently posted an apple crumble in-the-making in my Stories, and didn't think much of it until I received DM replies asking for a recipe. The people have spoken, so here I am, giving the people what they rightfully deserve. A warm, comforting, tasty apple crumble they can whip up at home on a Sunday … Continue reading Autumn is for Apple Crumble
One thing that I've realized about myself is that I often feel the need to be surrounded by environments that ignite inspiration. If a few days go by without anything stimulating me creatively, I feel a need to seek it. Those environments can be many things; seasons, cafĂ©s, nature, old homes and even images on … Continue reading DIY Framed Pressed Flowers
This post is but a mere photographic collection of my August and her simple pleasures.
August always brings that bittersweet nostalgia that comes with the end of summer. City carnivals get set up, sunflowers are in full bloom and school bags and pumpkins slowly start making an appearance in retail stores. August, to me, also symbolizes camping season as it's been a ritual of ours to go camping at the … Continue reading Camping Meal Ideas
Ever since I started posting recipe and meal ideas on here, I came to realize that I should really dedicate a post to my "go-to" dish that I always put together when having one friend or a gathering of people over. You've seen hosting ideas on here before, weather it be for chilli, tacos or … Continue reading Cheese & Charcuterie Platters
We recently attended our friendsâ destination wedding in beautiful Punta Cana. The funny thing about this occasion is that I used to work in the destination wedding industry for almost four years, consulting the travel plans of hundreds of destination weddings yet this was my first time attending one as a guest. So I was … Continue reading Outfit Ideas for a Tropical WeddingÂ
