W HOTEL STAYCATION

W hotel – luxe, contemporary & modern. A week ago, I had the opportunity to spend a night at this prestigious hotel located in the heart of the city, bordering Old Montreal. So I didn’t know this cool fact but the hotel’s design reflects Montreal’s history, the gold accents speak to the building’s history & the fur skin touches represent fur trading – it all screams Montreal & make this hotel unique in its nature. My room was located on the 6th floor & had a view on Square Victoria. It was a stunning open concept space with a king…

M.MME WINE BAR

M.Mme wine bar – the perfect place to un-WINE! ;) Wine lovers, this is a spot not to be missed – fully stocked wine cellar & delicious menu created around it! If you’re not afraid to try out new things, you will not be disappointed by the adventure the knowledgeable bar staff will take you on! Chloe & I had the opportunity to go on such a journey with Sebastien (barman), where we blindly let him recommend us wines that went with the food we chose – the result? A gastronomic experience like no other! We started off with Torello Brut Reserva Cava…

WEDDING SCHOOL IS IN SESSION

Planning a wedding is a full time job. Honestly at beginning of this process, I underestimated the work & time involved in putting together such an extravagant affair. Being 7 months into the planning process, I really wanted to enjoy….but to be honest, I have not been having any fun; stress level at its highest! Organizing an original wedding that people will remember, that is in perfect harmony with your vision (and your family’s vision, you’ll see they have a lot of opinions when you start planning…..), and that will not cost an arm and a leg requires a lot…

MOVE WITH ARDENE

Healthy eating & working out – whatever it takes to fit into my wedding dress! In addition to that, two other things motivate me to workout: 1- Not fitting into my clothes (terrifying) & 2- new workout gear (exciting)! So, last week, wearing the new MOVE collection at Ardene, I hit the weights in full swing & I already lost 2 lbs! :) This collection is all about comfort; the t-shirt, leggings & bra are stretchy & easy to move in. The color blocking, vibrant hues, criss-cross backs & comfy sneakers are all the range right now & nothing looks…

#DOLCE2016

Dolce – a sweet event! It was my 2nd year organizing this beautiful event benefiting the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation and it brings joy to my heart to see it was another success! Over 300 young professionals gathered at the Loft Hotel to a Fun Fair themed party in order to support this amazing cause. All the benefits of the event will directly come in aid of children with craniofacial anomalies. There was food and sweets at every corner, a fully stocked open bar, fun fair games that captured everyones attention, amazing music by DJ Puppa Sacha & of course fabulous prizes…

CONTEST: SHOPPING SPREE IN COLLABORATION WITH LISE WATIER FOUNDATION & CADILLAC …

Being a single mother is not easy, I know b/c I watched my mom work day and night to provide for my sister and me. She made sure we were fed, clothed, and had the best eduction. Yet, she made it look easy. She was though, independent, hard working & confident; all qualities that helped her propel forward and which she bestowed upon us. We both got educated, became independent, autonomous, & financially stable. She is my idol, my inspiration, a person I look up too & the reason the Lise Watier Foundation is important to me. It is my turn…

BRUNCH – SOUBOIS STYLE

Brunch is life. No, but seriously, I could eat brunch all day long! I think the reason why I always struggle with diets is that I was not really meant to be skinny, lol. Don’t get me wrong, I am always trying to eat healthy & exercise, but how can you resist a blueberry pancake?! Well, if you were looking for the trendiest place with heavenly food, stop…. b/c I found it: Soubois. I had the opportunity to try out  their brunch menu last week and I must admit that I have developed a love affair with the 4 dishes featured…
