It’s that time of year when the sunshine teases us, the wind reminds us it still feels like winter, and all I can think about is spring. We’re sooooooo close to warmer weather and that renewed feeling of ‘anything is possible‘. We had one day last week where it was 18 degrees, and I wrapped up my day a bit early to join a friend on a patio. This week is still lookin’ a lil’ chilly.

I’ve been keeping cozy and stylish in one of my favorite vintage finds, this mohair coat from Value Village, which feels like a warm hug. I paired it with a vintage YSL wool scarf that adds the perfect pop of colour. I have finally mastered the perfect scarf tie over the head, the same one you see paired with a baseball cap at all the festivals.

Something about this in-between season brings a fresh kind of energy. Spring feels like a reset, a time to clear out what’s no longer serving you, plant new ideas, and lean into a lighter version of life. The vibe makes you want to try something new, clean your closet, or book a spontaneous trip.

So here’s to that slow shift into spring, brighter mornings, evening golden hour, and shedding layers both (literally and emotionally). SHE IS READY.

All I can think about is spring vibes and cute outfits, bring it on!

As someone who takes their sleep very seriously, I’m always looking for ways to upgrade my bedtime routine, and the latest addition to my room is a game-changer. I recently received the luxurious Crown Goose Down Pillow, and after a few nights of testing it out, I can confidently say it’s heavenly!

This pillow brings 5-star, hotel-quality sleep with 875 fill power and 27 oz of premium goose down; It’s plush, supportive, and incredibly breathable. Whether you’re a back, side, or stomach sleeper, it offers the perfect softness and structure.

We often underestimate just how important good sleep is. Quality rest is the foundation for everything; my mood, focus, energy, and creativity depend on it. I feel more grounded, productive, and present throughout the day when I’m well-rested. Investing in things that support restful sleep, like a great pillow or cozy bedding, is truly a form of self-care. It’s not just about comfort (though that’s a big bonus!), it’s about creating a routine and environment that supports your overall well-being. When you sleep better, you live better! Look at that happy, rested face. 🤗

Right out of the package, I could tell this was something special! The fabric is smooth and crisp, with Crown Goose’s signature elegance and attention to detail. It pairs perfectly with the Sopor Duvet Cover Set I reviewed last year, bringing a resort feel to my room. Made with high-quality materials and that signature Crown Goose aesthetic, it’s a small but mighty upgrade that makes crawling into bed feel like a treat every night.

When I moved into my new apartment, I wanted to curate a beautiful sleep setup. I purchased a new bed and fancy sheets, and now, with the Crown Goose Down pillows and duvet cover, I’m living in luxury!

If you’re ready to elevate your sleep game or add a little luxury to your nightly routine, I highly recommend trying this pillow. Let’s be honest, good sleep is the real self-care.

Sweet dreams! 💫

Oh hi! It’s me, your old friend! I’ve been a bit slack about updating my blog, and it’s ok; that happens sometimes. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I’ve been busy. Here’s a little life lately, all in mirror selfies. 😊

In January, I moved into a new place and neighbourhood and started a new gig with a cool client. I’ve tried to stick to my workouts, but it’s been challenging as I’m not as close to my favorite spots anymore. I’ve been keeping up with my Monday weight-lifting and my Wednesday yoga, mixed in with a few different studio classes here and there. I have been spending a lot of time at home, working, walking the neighbourhood, and thinking. I walked 7km today!

I’ve had a bunch of auditions over the past few weeks, including a couple in-person auditions (rare!). I’m hoping to book something soon! Please send out your good vibes for me. In other news, my CHFI commercial got extended on TV (Toronto) and out-of-home (Calgary). I’m in a new advertising campaign for Value City Furniture in the USA (in-store, online, billboard, social ads). I’ll share some more about this soon!

I have a couple more fun things to share, but I will get to those another time! I’m really happy it’s finally spring, with longer days and warmer temperatures. We made it through winter!

Looking forward to summer activities, parks, beaches, boats, cute outfits, and spending lots of time in the sun. Hope you’re having a great week. 💖

I was asked to be a model for my friend’s new venture into bridal fashion, Cherish Bridal. I was a model for their new collection in partnership with Silk Row Bridal, one of Toronto’s leading shops. The shoot was at the insanely beautiful Preto Loft with hair by Shan Petro, flowers by Unfazed Floral, and shot by Chelsea Gurr.  

Here are a few BTS photos from the shoot. Scroll down for the final shots!

The shoot was so much fun. I truly loved the outfit below. The silk/lace pants with the lace top are so good. They added the longest hair extensions; the girls said I looked like Sabrina Carpenter. 💖

Cherish Bridal Brand is designed and handmade in Toronto, and can be found at Silkrow Bridal in the west end. Check out all their beautiful pieces at silkrowbridal.com/cherish. Thank you, Nataleigh, for including me! You might remember Love Shack Toronto, her pop-up wedding chapel created during the pandemic (blog post here).

Maybe I’ll be an actual bride one day?! 😝

About 2 weeks before New Year’s, a friend asked me if I wanted to go on a cruise due to an unfortunate set of circumstances. I was up for it, my first cruise ship adventure! I’ve been house-hitting a friend’s place for about a month, and she was back on the exact days of the cruise. I was due for a getaway with a crazy few months behind me. It was exactly what I needed! I had such a beautiful room and I am forever grateful to my friend for inviting me to come on this adventure. It could not have come at a better time in my life. I have a zillion photos, but here’s a few in a little recap.

I had never been on a cruise before, and this was not just any cruise. It was a Celebrity Cruise through the Caribbean, and let me tell you… it was a total vibe. It was the perfect way to close out the year and cruise into 2025 feeling refreshed, sun-kissed, and full of gratitude. We stopped in Cozumel, Mexico, Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands, and Bimini, Bahamas. The beaches were so beautiful, and feeling the sun on my skin was incredible.

When we stepped on, it felt like entering a floating resort. Sunshine, beautiful views, endless food, and luxe poolside lounging. I was instantly in vacation mode.

The food was fantastic! There were a variety of restaurants and a 24-hour dining option; I had everything from fancy meals (steak, sushi, pasta) to BBQ snacks by the pool. The theatre shows were so good! Each performance by the theater crew was outstanding, with incredible singing, dancing, and a live band! I went to a show almost every night before one of the evening events (Abba sing-along, Silent Disco). I assure you, I still managed to get plenty of rest and exercise! I hit the gym almost every morning and walked heaps of laps around the ship’s deck.

Definitely bought about 10 swimsuits and wore them all throughout the six-day trip. Most were from my amazing friend’s shop, Bathing Belle on Roncesvalle in Toronto’s west end. Check out my posts with her suits here or on their website at bathingbelle.com.

Ringing in the New Year on the ship was something I’ll never forget. I missed the ship’s NYE Party entirely and was out like a light by 10 p.m. Started 2025 asleep in my bed and woke up covered in glitter in the middle of the ocean.

There was something so magical about being there and looking ahead to a fresh new year. I would very much like to go on another cruise! On my way home, I met a few people who were heading out on a four-month round-the-world cruise. What an adventure that would be!

I’ve been consistent with my gym and yoga for the past few months and it’s paying off. Finally seeing some abs come in! I was just in a 12-week challenge at Body Engineers, and since I started working out there two years ago, I’ve lost 15 pounds and dropped 10% in body fat. I’m proud of the hours I’ve put in!

VERY excited to be going to Yoga Camp in Costa Rica this February! Remember, I went to Yoga Camp in Haliburton earlier this year?! This experience is hosted by Carla Interior, Drew Hume and Simone Nitzan. I’ll be away for nine days for a 7-day yoga retreat. I can’t wait! I’ve been to Costa Rica twice for yoga/surfing retreats (see here!).

The retreat is at Nivida Resort, in a jungle in the mountains near Palmar Sur and Ciudad Cortés. We have two yoga classes a day with healthy meals, local produce, waterfalls, beaches, native history, archeological sites, and more.

I would LOVE for some friends to join me at Yoga Camp in Costa Rica, there are only a few spots left. If you’d like to attend, visit the website here or send me a private email for a discount. I’d love to hang out in the jungle!!!

Last week, I had the chance to kick off the holiday season with a visit to Casa Loma for Christmas at the Castle! If you’re looking for a festive event to get into the season’s spirit, this one’s for you. The castle is glowing with Christmas trees, sparkling lights, and decorations that bring the holiday magic to life.

Located in the heart of Toronto, Casa Loma transforms into a winter wonderland every December, and this year is no exception. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by twinkling lights and holiday displays that make it feel like you’ve stepped into a Christmas dream. There are towering trees adorned with ornaments and stunning light installations all over the grounds, inside, every corner is bursting with festive cheer.

One of my favourite parts of the experience was the outdoor light trail. Walking through the beautifully lit gardens, surrounded by twinkling trees and seasonal music, was such a vibe. You can also meet Santa and enjoy live performances. I met The Grinch!

Casa Loma’s holiday event is perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to soak up the holiday spirit. If you plan to go, I recommend dressing warm and taking time to explore, there’s so much to see and enjoy! Get tickets to Christmas at the Castle here.

Happy Holidays!

In September, I went to Yoga Camp! This retreat was a perfect blend of mindfulness, movement, and the great outdoors. It was refreshing to wrap up summer, and I left feeling balanced, inspired and recharged.

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just starting your practice, the weekend is designed to meet you where you are. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the positive energy. The camp was lush and inviting, with spaces to practice yoga, meditate, and connect with others.

The schedule included yoga flows, workshops, and opportunities to enjoy nature. Mornings started with energizing classes by the lake, followed by workshops that ranged from mindfulness to yoga, art, and free time to explore. In the evenings, listened to live music by the campfire and danced in the lodge, then turned in early for a cozy cabin sleep.

The weekend was held at Camp Eden Woods, the ultimate camp experience in the Haliburton Highlands. We stayed in old-school cabins with bunk beds. I scored two empty beds, so I used one as my closet and another for sleeping. All my cabin mates were so lovely!

The people I met were incredible; everyone was there to unplug, connect, and share the experience. Aside from yoga, my favourite activity was making art on the picnic tables in the afternoon. I made beaded name tags for a friend and me, and they’re so cute.

The whole weekend was so lovely! Thank you to Taranee, Simone, and the Yoga Camp team for hosting an incredible time. I carried the feeling of this camp for weeks after. The culinary team at Camp Eden Woods was also top-notch, the food was so good.

One of my blockers from going to the camp was not having a car; the organizers paired me with two wonderful women who gave me a ride. We had so much fun on the drive up AND the drive back! It turns out they both live in my neighbourhood, too! It was a match made in heaven!

If you’re craving a mindful reset or want to try something new, I can’t recommend Yoga Camp enough. It’s a beautiful way to recharge your body and mind while connecting with an amazing community. Find details about the camp here. I’ll be there next year!

If you’re looking for a spot to soak up some serious holiday cheer, look no further than Ginger’s Cocktail Bar! I had the chance to pop by the media preview and let me tell you, it’s pure holiday magic. Tucked away in the Junction Triangle, the upstairs of Le Dolci has transformed into a winter wonderland and the holiday decor is totally on point.

The space is decked out with cute holiday touches that make it feel warm and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends or celebrating the season. And the drinks? So good. They’ve got an amazing lineup of festive cocktails (with and without alcohol) – think warm spices, hints of cinnamon, and all the seasonal flavours. Each drink is crafted with care, balancing the holiday spirit with fresh and fun flavours.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a cozy spot to sip something festive, Ginger’s is a perfect spot. Grab your BFFs, head to Junction Triangle (my neighbourhood!), and let Ginger’s bring a little extra cheer to your holiday season.

Ginger’s Cocktail Bar officially opens November 15th, you can pop by with kids from 6-8 pm, then it’s 19+ until midnight!
