GINGERBREAD HOUSE

Last week I was invited to decorate a gingerbread house. Feast your eyes on my creation, haha! Truth be told, this was my 1st time doing it – I know, I know, crazy right? Although, I must admit that I am happy it was my 1st time, as it was for an amazing cause! Gingerbread build 2018  is an annual event where you purchase a gourmet Gingerbread build kit & decorate the house while raising collective awareness of Habitat GTA’s vision that everyone deserves a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home.

Here are 7 tips that work for me: 1- Don’t go to a party hungry! This is actually a tip my husband gave me a while back when I came home starving after work on a Friday. We were going out to a dinner party that night and…

LUXURY TRAVEL TO PUNTA CANA WITH SUNWING

Exhausted from packing & unpacking our lives during our move from Montreal to Toronto & drowning in a sea of what seemed to be endless boxes, we needed a vacation! Ismael and I both love to travel and explore new places like Greece and Croatia, but this time we were craving a relaxing & stress-free holiday in a luxury, all-inclusive resort. The last time we went to a resort was 4 years ago and I had fond memories of coming back from the vacation in a state of total relaxation, batteries re-charged! So, were more than thrilled to be whisked…

NATURISTE

I’ve been trying to live a healthy life since January, and I must admit that it has not been easy! I’m constantly on the go & my schedule is always jam packed – sounds familiar? I bet!

To help me with the craziness of life, I’ve been trying some Naturiste products which I wanted to share with…

Admit it, all you really want to do is crawl into a little ball and hibernate until the temperatures are above 10°C. I’ve been trying multiple things to get over those winter blues, and here is what worked for me: 1- Exercise: I know, you’re busy and don’t have time right? When you wake up in the morning, you’re EXHAUSTED, right? Well so am I,…
