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

April 27, 2017

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

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.

Shop Local this Mother’s Day with Olive Bean & Co. (Review + Giveaway)

April 23, 2017

Shop Local this Mother’s Day with Olive Bean & Co. (Review + Giveaway)

For those of you who are familiar with my blog, you are probably well aware that I’m big on supporting local and small businesses. (Hence my shop local series.) I recently discovered a local candle company called Olive Bean & Co. that I instantly became obsessed with – I just had to learn more and get my hands on some product!

The more I learned about the products, the more I fell in love. The owner, Amanda, is an advocate for holistic health and Olive Bean & Co. is actually an extension of her holistic lifestyle brand, Honestly Nourish, where she shares healthy recipes and promotes healthy living from the inside out all while locally sourcing products and ingredients where possible.

The candles Amanda creates are hand-poured made from  beeswax, coconut oil and therapeutic grade essential oils. The wicks are made out of 100% natural cotton. She has also recently begun offering candle-making workshops. The beeswax used to create the candles are even locally sourced from a beekeeper in Durham Region, how incredible is that?!

Shop Local: The Juice Craze (Worth the Squeeze)

March 4, 2017

Shop Local: The Juice Craze (Worth the Squeeze)

If you have been around the blog for a while, you’re probably familiar with my smoothie addiction (thanks to my Vitamix) and if you follow me on Instagram, my juice addiction. Seriously you guys, I love juice.

So why is juicing so great anyways? Well, juicing extracts all those vitamins, minerals and nutrients out of your veggies and fruit and packs them into a delicious drink that can only be described as “nectar from the gods” (okay, I’m probably exaggerating a bit with the last part). I also read on the Internet once that because the juicer is breaking down the food for you that your body absorbs the nutrients faster and more efficiently. So there’s that.

I personally love juice because I find it so hard to incorporate enough fruits and veggies into my diet without it. As someone with tummy troubles, I also find it helps my digestive system and I find I get sick less and it really helps prevent break outs. I also notice that I just feel ‘healthier’ and more energized pretty soon after drinking some.

Shop Local: Mint Floral Co in Whitby, ON

August 23, 2016

Shop Local: Mint Floral Co in Whitby, ON

If you follow me on Instagram, you’re probably already familiar with Mint Floral Co, a florist located in downtown Whitby that I can’t stop posting photos of. (Seriously. It’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with them.)

Recently, they underwent some renovations which were revealed at Historic Downtown Whitby’s annual “Shop Late, Shop Local” night. So, I thought I would take the time to share a few photos of the gorgeous space and write about them.
