Day 1: We arrived to our adorable hotel, The Ampersand, in South Kensington. Just minutes away from the tube, it’s the perfect location. The hotel itself has oversized velvet headboards, heated bathroom floors, monogrammed robes, and just a touch of over-the-top artsy decor. Needless to say, I loved it. We headed out to Buckingham Palace. …
When my sister picked Edinburgh, Scotland for her study abroad location, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. After a somewhat confusing experience making our way to the bus, we eventually found ourselves being dropped off in the middle of Waverley Bridge, which connects Old Town and New Town. I believe it was at that …
After months of meticulous planning, it arrived. Europe. After scouring pages of Pinterest, Instagram, Thrillist and, let’s face it, just about every Google search imaginable- I was armed with handfuls of notes prepped and ready for this trip. What I hadn’t braced myself for, though, was the horrendous flight there. Of the three countries we …
I guess you can say I’ve turned into somewhat of a stress-baker. A Kitchen Aid mixer has only further fueled this new addiction. With a new job starting tomorrow, you better believe it’s being put to use. Today, I’ve done a request from my boyfriend. Lemon blueberry bread. I’ve never been a fan of baked …
I’ve never been an avid baker. Truth be told, I’d rather indulge on pizza. That being said, it’s become a type of therapeutic activity for me. Today, I took my anxious mind and baked… and baked… and baked. Of course, it wouldn’t be a challenge without trying new recipes. I recently made oversized Levain Bakery …
Did you follow our New York adventures? Well, during our trip I found the world’s most delicious cookies. Easily. Levain Bakery is as delicious as the hype suggests. So, in my holiday baking frenzy, I decided to try out a copy cat recipe from City Cookin. These are 4 ounces of deliciousness EACH. Ingredients 3 …
The other day I talked about being thankful. Don’t worry, I’m very much counting down the days until immersing myself completely and entirely in much needed family time. However, our website is also based on promising to find you all the greatest deals. So, that being said… I’ll just leave these here. ALDO Shoes Free …
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We have already been inundated with Christmas sales since Halloween. However, the next coming days aren’t about scoring the most attractive deals, running over people for the best prices or even reflecting on the questionable past of our nation’s early history. It’s about reflecting on art of thankfulness. We …
Day 3. New adventures await! The day started with a trip to Kensington Market, where I had matcha green tea crepe cake. Although the area was interesting, it was a bit overwhelming for us. The streets were congested and packed, crowds moving very slowly, and hard to navigate. We decided to reroute, and found ourselves …
Day 2. After a long road trip one our first day, it’s time to actually see Toronto. First thing is first, though, we needed to get my Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon and Half Marathon packet. That required getting on a school bus and taking the shuttle to Exhibition Place, which sits off the Western Channel of …
