Creamy Lemon Squares
In this post, I’m going to pretend that there is 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.…

Beauty Pampering at Home
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…

Getty Museum Recreation
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…

The Best Sunsets of My Life
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…

Being Present During a Busy Time
The start of this year has kept us away from our usual Winter ritual of binge-watching / snacking / cocooning. I mean, that’s still happening (currently Netlfixing Schitt’s Creek), only in much smaller frequencies than we’ve been known to do. For starters, I’ve been taking a Product Management course. Just before the Holidays, I felt…

“Winter ONE-derland” Theme for a First Birthday
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…

Maid of Honour Proposal
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 years and can whip up a mood board with my eyes closed…I gotta say, I’m learning a lot. Despite my “expertise”…

Christmas at Home
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…
