Great gift ideas with Uncommon Goods

October 22, 2017

I seriously can’t believe that we are already approaching the end of October. November is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like me that means that you’re starting to think about… Christmas.

Yup, I said the C word. Sorry guys, winter is coming.

I like to think that I’m pretty good at gift shopping. I am that person who spends hours planning and everyone’s gift. I also tend to do most of my shopping online, which means I have to plan everything out well in advance to ensure it arrives on time. Typically, this means that I’ve started to think about gifts well before November 1st.

Anyway, since the gift-giving season is upon us I thought it was time for my first round-up post of the season!

Uncommon Goods is a one-stop shop for all your gift-giving needs. Based in Brooklyn, New York, half of their collection is handmade and 1/3 of it incorporates recycled or up-cycled materials, how cool is that?

Ste Anne’s Spa: the perfect Girls Day destination

October 1, 2017

Is there anything better than a girls day?

Recently, I had the opportunity to head to one of my favourite places on Earth (because y’know, I’ve been to Mars) for a little R&R with some of my best blogger pals, Steph and Cathy… I’m talking about Ste Anne’s Spa!

Located in Grafton, Ontario, Ste Anne’s is just a little over an hour drive from Toronto, making it a great spot for a day trip. If you are looking for a longer getaway, you can also stay overnight. It’s hard to not be instantly relaxed once you step foot on the grounds. There is something about this place that is truly magical.

Sun Please – Getting Ready for Summer with Optically.ca

May 6, 2017

Raise your hand if you’re ready for Summer!

We are still getting some pretty chilly days here, but for the most part spring has spring and it’s a lot more sunny around here already, which has made me eager for summer. I can’t wait to lounge outside, hit the beach and go on some weekend getaways!

Now of course, with the warmer weather and sunshine coming my way I needed to add a few new seasonal staples to my wardrobe this year: sun hats (I’m obsessed with those typographic straw hats that are all over the internet, you bet I picked one up for myself!), dresses and of course, sunglasses! Optically.ca was kind enough to offer to send some sunnies my way to help get me ready for the season!
