Lavender & Honey Shortbread Cookies
Of all of the content I’ve written on my blog, I have no doubt that “lavender” has been featured and tagged on here the most. I’ve talked about how good it smells, how lovely it looks and how it provides soothing wellness. Now I’m here to talk about how wonderful it tastes. Over the past years,…

Chocolate and Strawberry Cupcakes
Sometimes the cute packaging of a cupcake set will inspire me to try a recipe, and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this super cute Valentine’s Day cupcake at HomeSense. Just one look of the gold foil liners and the pink and gold heart toppers inspired me to bake chocolate cupcakes with strawberry buttercream.…

Baba Ghanouj
For my first post in the newly added category of my blog, I thought I’d start with a dish that is dear to my heart. It’s a recipe that’s been passed on from my Mom. I’ve watched her make this dish my entire life, and the aroma of roasted eggplants brings me back to my childhood, and…

Creating a Hot Chocolate Bar
Themed bars are my favourite corners to set up when hosting a party. Aside from the functional benefit of having a designated area for thirsty guests, it’s such a fun decor addition to amp up our event. For previous parties, I’ve dressed up our kitchen bar in taco theme and mermaid theme, so when Christmas comes around, I…

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…

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…

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,…

“Somebunny is One” Theme for First Birthday
Being an auntie to my friends’ kids has given me carte blanche to spoil them and adore them unconditionally (and then hand them back when they’re pooping and crying). My most ultimate favourite auntie role, aside from cuddles and chubby cheek smooching, is crafting and styling my friends’ babies’ special events. Okay, maybe I appointed…

Polaroid Themed 30th Birthday Party
Turning 30 is a big milestone in one’s life. I’m not one to get caught up on age, but I am one to use it as a cause for celebration. The #tbt trend was the main inspiration for my party because I wanted to pay homage to my birth year, which, I must admit, is…
