Hey friends! I'm sorry for the silence on my end, full-time work and (part-time) networking/blogging have taken up a large chunk of my time. Rest assured, there are lots of exciting posts and projects in the works! I had the opportunity to attend Press Days hosted by Lotus Leaf Communications on Wednesday. It was my first time visiting Lotus [...]
Living in Toronto and learning the intricacies of its urban layout has been thrilling for both Nick and I. He found his calling in the transit sector, increasing his already heightened interest in geography, design, and planning. I've always been fascinated by urban geography, and even enrolled in a Cities and Urbanism course at university. Comprehending the issues [...]

My sister, Natalie and I are roadtrippin' to Minneapolis this weekend. I'm well aware that driving from Toronto to Minneapolis is no small feat, but we're meeting our mother halfway to exchange vehicles. Such is the life of a dealership family. With two nights in Minneapolis, I've decided to compile an inspiration board of places I'd [...]
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I'm excited to announce that I'll be collaborating with Desmond & Beatrice in the coming months. I'm smitten with their bakeshop, and was thrilled when Amanda suggested working together. You've probably already gathered that I'm obsessed with exploring the sheer volume of independent cafés and local boutiques here in Toronto. This project allows me to do just [...]
I'm a huge enthusiast of the staycation. Maybe money is a little tight right now or you've used up all your vacation days for the year. Whatever the reason, taking a week or two off may not be on the cards right now. Regardless, it's important to shake up your routine every now and then. In [...]
