Well, it's been over a month since I shared an update with you all. In between packing up our home, throwing Nick a surprise 30th birthday, finishing up work projects, and moving continents, life has been hectic. As you'd expect, travelling home was mildly stressful. We wore masks for the entirety of three flights and [...]
Yorkton is my hometown. I grew up here, went to school here and left only after finishing high school. Since moving away, many new businesses have opened up. And it's only fitting that I share some of my must-visit Yorkton spots. Refresh Massage Spa and Studio A contemporary day spa that offers high quality massages, facials, manicures, [...]
Hi friends! This is the second post in a three-part series. I. Saskatchewan After an eventful few days in Saskatchewan, Ashleigh's journey continued on to Toronto; Canada's largest city and economic hub, and where Nick and I currently reside. The polar vortex (read: your average Canadian winter) was in full effect, and Ash braved the [...]
I'm about to embark on my first road trip of the summer. We're heading to Montreal for Osheaga, and today's task (before I leave for work) is to pack. Packing for a road trip, particularly a festival road trip, is not an easy task. It's important to travel lightly, after all it's only a weekend [...]
There's something incredible about returning home after being away for a long period of time. I was recently back in Saskatchewan for the first time since relocating to Toronto. Oddly enough, I came home more frequently when I lived in New Zealand. I'm not sure why I haven't been home. Perhaps it's been because of [...]
I initially began writing this post almost two months ago. This mere fact speaks volumes about my ability to endlessly ruminate on a topic (read: procrastinate) and my inability to decide on a consistent theme for this blog, or my life for that matter. The issue of coming into one's profession has always been of [...]
Moving to Canada, Toronto in particular, has undoubtedly impacted my sense of style. Whether it was the continent hopping or simply transitioning from full-time student to full-time intern, I've been forced to relinquish my 'homeless-chic' fashion sense (a term so lovingly coined by my dear friend, Adrian.) The study of style has always been of [...]
I'm in love with my home and native land. Canada is such a vast and beautiful place. From the shores of Nova Scotia to the tundras of the Yukon, it's eclectic, expansive, and absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, like many Canadians, I don't get around to seeing it as much as I would like to. That being [...]
Here in Toronto, we've just experienced our very first snow day of 2013. On Friday morning, I awoke to my own personal snow globe. Outside the large windows of my apartment, our bustling city streets were calmer than I'd ever seen them and covered in glistening powder. My Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts blew up [...]
Greetings from our nation's capital: Ottawa! I have recently embarked on a new editorial journey with Ottawa Magazine and Where Ottawa, and there is already much to report! It all happened so fast, I barely had time to blink - or to find an apartment. Despite having spent two and a half years in Auckland, [...]
