Montréal
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…

Punta Cana
I miss filling in the “Passport” section of my blog. When I first started this blog, sharing my highlights and photos from my trip to Turkey was my favourite type of content to share. As my blog evolved, I nurtured other categories I equally enjoyed, like my event styling, DIY projects, beauty reviews and recently,…

Camping Between Seasons
The cusp of Summer and Fall always feels bittersweet to me. It’s the turning point between my two favourite seasons, so I always feel a bit wistful when one season ends, yet excited for the other to follow. Freckled shoulders and tan lines showing signs of a summer well spent, start to fade just as…

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…

Ehden
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…

Friends Getaway at the Farm
Nothing quite warms my heart into a state of pure coziness like a crisp autumn weekend spent at a farm. My boyfriend’s good friend celebrated his birthday at his family’s farm and it was exactly how November weekends should be spent; away from the grey city, technology unplugged, an abundance of food, drink, conversations, laughter, games and the coziest of…

Balsam Lake
Last weekend some friends and I drove up to Baslam Lake Provincial Park to get away from the city craziness. The last time I went camping was pretty much two decades ago when I was in Girl Scouts (yeesh, I’m gettin’ old!). I was really looking forward to sleeping in tents, roasting some S’mores and sharing stories by the…

Istanbul
We spent a total of six nights in Istanbul. It was quite the magical journey back in history. A perfect blend of and new, East and West. We spent most of our time in Old Istanbul, Sultanahmet. We visited the Old Sook, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (the Blue Mosque) and the Hagia Sophia Museum, which…

The Turquoise Seas of Antalya
Antalya is easy to fall in love with. As much I would go back to Istanbul in a heartbeat, I would have to say that my favourite part of our Turkish trip was our three relaxing days in Antalya. Situated in the south of Turkey along the Mediterranean sea, Antalya is known for its beaches…

The Ancient Ruins of Ephesus
The historical and cultural richness of Turkey is well apparent when you visit Ephesus, the ancient Greek-turned-Roman city situated in western Turkey. Its ruins and colosseum brings you back thousand of years BC and almost makes you feel like you’re on the movie set of Helen of Troy. Well organized and affordable, this is a…
