Afternoon Tea
My Instagram is no stranger to perfectly-placed flat lay shots of cozy Afternoon Tea spreads. If you know me, you know that I’m obsessed with tea, antiques and delicious treats, and going for Afternoon Tea checks off all those boxes. My first experience with High Tea was when I planned my best friend’s bridal shower, and I’ve been…

Terre Bleu Lavender Farm
The term “Like Mother, like Daughter” couldn’t be more true when it comes to my Mom and I sharing the love for simple pleasures in life. In fact, adopting the joie de vivre philosophy in my life was always been influenced by her – she’s always taught me to be humble, present, appreciative and grateful. Part of…

Mermaid Pool Party
The heatwaves this summer have been pretty intense. But if you look at your rosé glass half full, heatwaves are the perfect excuse to host/organize/attend a pool party. You know when it’s so hot and humid that you tell yourself, “Man, I could just jump in a pool right now”? Well, I figured why not…

Updated Curly Hair Routine
“Is your hair real?”, the woman asked as she touched my curls in admiration. I did not know this woman. She was a complete stranger, yet there she was, touching my hair while I was volunteering for the Toronto International Film Festival. I wasn’t sure if I should have been flattered that this woman deemed…

The Beaches of Lebanon
I’ll never forget the reaction of my Grade 4 teacher when I showed her a photo of my recent trip to Lebanon during our Show & Tell session. The photo showed me standing in front of the iconic Hard Rock Cafe guitar, in Beirut. I was so excited to pass this photo around to show…

I think it’s common to feel a sense of pride when we talk about our country of origin or birthplace, especially when we no longer live there. Reminiscing about our hometown ties us to our identity and our culture, and explains a lot about who we are, no matter how detached we may be from…

90 Years Loved: Handmade Gift Idea for Milestone Birthdays
I think there’s a certain aspect of romance to old family photographs. I don’t mean the old family photos at Chuck E. Cheese birthday parties in the 80s. I’m talking about those black and white photos of our maiden mothers, our newlywed grandmothers, or our handsome great uncles in some sort of distinguished uniform. It’s…

DIY Bar Sign Using Stick-On Tiles
I have acquired the nickname “Crafting Owl” because my creative ideas seem to come to me late at night. I’ve been known to sporadically pull out my craft box and try to create whatever my mind is visualizing at that very moment, and it always seems to happen between the hours of 10pm-1am. I can’t…

Fiesta Decor for Taco Nights
Apparently, a game night soirée was long overdue as our friends kindly reminded us (ahem, requested). The last game night we hosted was simple and cozy: I made homemade lasagna, and red wine and Cards Against Humanity were enjoyed until the wee hours of the morning. This year we wanted to try out the game…

Tutu Skirt Decor for a Baby’s High Chair
A couple of weeks ago, I styled the First Birthday party of my best friend’s baby daughter. There were many elements that I loved about this party, the birthday girl being the main one since she is a scrumptious little bunny doll that I wanted to smush every chance I got. Additionally to baby Chloe,…
