For Your Coffee Scrolling… October
I hope you had a good thanksgiving weekend, even though I’m sure it looked quite different this year. I would love to hear how you and your family spent thanksgiving this year – did you do a virtual get-together? Drop off turkey dinner to loved ones? Our turkey leftovers are never-ending since our gathering was much smaller than usual this…
Thrifting Parisian Style- Part 2: The Hunt and Gather
Picking up where we left off… after creating my list and inspo photos (from this post) I was off to thrift shop! Thrifting was so much fun, I’m officially a convert. It’s so exhilarating to find a diamond in the rough. Every time I find a winner I feel like I hit the jackpot, won the lottery, and all the…
Thrifting Parisian Style – Part 1 : The Inspo
If you saw my last post, you may remember I have been crushing haaarrrd on Parisian style. I am drawn to how the looks are timeless, yet interesting. French style has the best way of using contrast. They mix masculine and feminine, combine old and new, mix texture and pattern, and combine high end with low end. I wanted to…
For Your Coffee Scrolling… September
Welcome to September! How the hell did we get here? While work will be crazy this month, I had a lovely long weekend in Kingston to celebrate my bro-in-law’s bday. I’m also looking forward to a girls weekend later in the month (all within our social bubble). I am loving this summer-fall weather with sunshine and a cool breeze. What…
Knix Underwear Review
Knix underwear, people- where have these been in my life for the past 15 years?! I guess it’s better late than never! I cannot recommend Knix Leakproof Underwear enough. You can tell that they were designed to fit a product gap. Created by women, for women. Designed out of the frustration with the status quo of period and leakproof options…
I Got It From My Momma: Embracing Arctic Blonde
My sister and I have both been finding white hairs sprinkled into our curly brown hair since university. They are now starting to come in STRONG above our ears. You would think this would be devastating news to two women in their 20’s. Surprisingly, not at all. We are both loving having some white sprinkled in. I truly think the…
Summer Cocktails: Aperol Spritz and Negroni
I am not typically a cocktail person. That all changed during our honeymoon to Italy. I fell in love with two cocktails: the Aperol spritz and the Negroni. They are both incredibly refreshing for a hot evening on a patio. Now every time I have one, it magically transports me back to an evening in Florence. Both are super easy…
For Your Coffee Scrolling…August
How have you been? What did you get up to for the long weekend? We went away for the first time in months. My husband and I went up north with my parents to their trailer on Georgian Bay. We enjoyed slow mornings with coffee, read books, played cards, and had the best campfires every night. I forgot how important…
What are you Reading?
Have you read any good books lately? I don’t know about you, but I have finally had some down time to read in the past couple of months. For the past few years, I seem to only have time to read on vacation. The list of books I wanted to read was getting out of control! So finally during COIVD,…
Creating Your Own Outdoor Retreat: Before and After of Our Backyard

With the pandemic changing many of our summer plans, I know a lot of people have been looking to have a relaxing outdoor space at home. I wanted to share our adventure of transforming our outdoor space. Before we…
