Wine & Cheese Thursdays at Bistro ’67

August 3, 2017

If you live in Durham Region or the GTA and haven’t visited Bistro ’67 yet, you’re seriously missing out. This post is long over-due, I’ve been a few times with my blogger pals, and I’ve always been completely blown away. It’s definitely one of my favourite local gems.

Bistro ’67 is a local restaurant that is re-defining the term “eat local” through their field to fork philosophy, and is actually a part of Durham College’s Whitby campus, the W. Galen Weston Centre for Food as a teaching inspired restaurant.

Shop Local: Mint Floral Co in Whitby, ON

August 23, 2016

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.

Aide Bodycare: DIY Organic Bath Salt Bar

May 12, 2016

You’ve heard me ramble on about Aide Bodycare many, many times before… enough to know that there never really will be a ‘last time’ ;). On my last visit to Michelle’s shop, she had a new feature that had me really excited: a DIY Bath Soak Bar.

We all know I love a good bath and DIY. So naturally, I was pretty stoked.

The Bar comes is loaded with epson and himalayan salts, tons of essential oils you can mix and play with, botanicals (I’m a big fan of the dried roses), oatmeal and more.
