Local Gems: Ste. Anne’s Spa in Grafton, ON (Review)

April 27, 2017

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m all about pampering myself and, when it comes to traveling, I typically go for staycations. So, naturally when I had some time off this April, treating myself to a spa day was a must! Matt and I decided on booking a day-spa at Ste Anne’s Spa.

Ste. Anne’s is a little slice of heaven located in Grafton, Ontario, which is about an hour away from Toronto. If you haven’t been here before you seriously need to visit ASAP. For those of you that live a little further away than we do, you’ll be happy to know that you can book over-night visits.

Local Events: the Toronto One of a Kind Show

April 1, 2017

The Toronto One of a Kind Show is my favourite time of the year! If you are someone like me who loves to support local, small business or support artisans, the OOAK show is basically your one-stop shop for all of the above.

The show itself happens two times a year, there’s the Christmas show that takes place in November and the Spring show that is taking place right now until April 2nd.

If you’re local and looking for something to do tomorrow, I highly recommend you check it out. If you can’t make it to the show but still want to check out all it has to offer and get your hands on some of the goodies, you can also shop the show online here.

This year, I had the opportunity to go on opening day earlier this week. (If you follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you saw my Instagram story of the entire day.) I thought I would take some time to share some of my photos, finds, highlights and favourite booths from the show.

Country Escape: South Pond Farms

July 6, 2016

Last week, I had an opportunity to visit South Pond Farms in Bethany, Ontario with some other bloggers from the Toronto area. South Pond Farms is a popular spot for weddings and events and is about a half hour from Durham Region and a little over an hour from Toronto.

It’s a place that I’ve been familiar with and have always wanted to visit, so naturally I was extremely excited once I received the invite! To my surprise, I learned that the farm is actually open to the public on Tuesdays and that they also host weekly events and workshops that anyone can sign up for! (More on that later.) I was extremely happy when I found out that they can always accommodate us gluten-free folk.

Spring Bucket List

April 26, 2016

What is it about Spring that always makes us want a “fresh start”?

My life is changing drastically this Spring compared to the past two years, so I figured that called for some lifestyle changes for this seasonal goal list. Naturally, since I’m behind on actually posting my list, some of these are already done.
