Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery: Toronto

I was just going through some old pictures in the camera, when I realized I totally forgot to post this little gem! The weather last September to October was much warmer than it is now, and ice cream was constantly on my mind. My friend told me about this quaint little shop named Bang Bang Ice Cream & Bakery in the Ossington area, so Joseph and I wanted to check it out. Anything for a … [Read more...]

Birthday Parties and Baby Showers

Lately I've been really busy with adorable baby showers and birthday parties (cuteness overload)! It really is this new stage in life for us, you know when "first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage." Babies seem to be THE thing for 2015 - even Hollywood celebs are popping them out left, right, and centre. I guess those ten weddings we attended two … [Read more...]

Fruit Smoothies

Lately I've been obsessing over fruit smoothies again, and making them at home has been a real treat. My mom used to blend them every morning for me, and now that I'm married I'm carrying that forward for myself and Joseph. They're great for breakfast-on-the-go (especially during the morning commute), and full of energizing vitamins. I swear it even makes my skin glow! Super easy to … [Read more...]

Baby Moccasins from A Little Heart & Sole

As if all baby things aren't cute enough, check out these adorable baby moccasins from A Little Heart & Sole! Custom-made with 100% lambskin leather, I got my friend, and owner of the company, to create these cuties for my niece. Needless to say, I'm in love! They're affordable (price ranges from $30 and onwards), and make a great gift too. Pink ballet slippers for my 8 month … [Read more...]

Thank You!

We're back and officially married! A million thanks to our family and friends for helping us transition as newlyweds. We can't thank you enough! My word of advice for newly engaged couples is to BOOK EVERYTHING EARLY, because if you do this then you will always get your first choice. Also, have an idea of what you want and stick with it. It's amazing how many people will try to talk … [Read more...]

Just Around The Corner…

Wedding prep has swung into full gear! Between our wedding, home renovations, and work, there hasn't been much time to update the blog :/. HOWEVER, rest assured we haven't stopped eating and on the contrary we've been taking even more pictures than before! We look forward to sharing our new posts, as soon as we can, but most likely after the wedding. Overall, I must say that wedding … [Read more...]

What To Do In Vegas

We love Vegas, and truthfully even more so than Toronto. Which brings me to several questions we get asked time and time again: "Why Vegas? What do you do there? Don't you guys ever go anywhere else?!" In short, we LOVE it there! Vegas is like our second home, like a cottage, plus it's only a 4 hour flight away. While some people head off to Niagara or New York for a break, we prefer Sin … [Read more...]

Daily Prep: Wedding Favours!

So lately I've been spending all of my free time decorating these little boxes of joy for the wedding. Yeah we're early, but as a huge fan of craft projects I wanted to get a head start on this sort of stuff. And by decorating I mean tying a million ribbons, hot gluing pearls (plus burning myself a few more times), cutting, hole punching, and twist-tying an equal number of "thank you" … [Read more...]

The Chase: Toronto

What a week! Between finalizing wedding details, planning several upcoming events, organizing work, home, and life in general, I've definitely been missing some zzz's. So how does this girl unwind during busy times? By eating fantastically, and keeping my taste buds happy. Toronto has so much to offer, and eventually we hope to explore more of this lovely city. Usually we scour the … [Read more...]

The Art of Tea: Sloane Fine Tea Merchants

Sloane Tea, by far, is my favourite tea company and I can't even begin to tell you how long I've waited to post this. I think partly it's because I wanted to keep it to myself, but how can something this good (and good looking) not be shared? Sloane is a Canadian gem with exoticly sourced teas overseen by Hoda Paripoush, the founder, director, and head tea sommelier of her company (she … [Read more...]
