SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER INSTALOVE
Anddddd the weather has finally dropped to “jacket-on-and-off-season” to confuse even the best of us. It’s that time of year when Canada Goose jackets and miniskirts come out to play together because we have no idea what to wear anymore. Let’s take a look back when September and the beginning of this month was kinder […]
Simply Bars
It’s a delicious hit-and-miss with these bars – Simply Whey Bars are a whole lot of goodness packed into one tiny package. Wellness Foods offers ten flavours in a variety of original flavours. Among my favourites? Lemon Coconut, Chocolate Mint, and original Coconut. The product is Gluten-free, vegetarian, low sodium, low sugar and a good source […]

Smirnoff Sorbet Launch
Gloria Chik + Gloria Kim do SMIRNOFF’S SORBET Launch at C-Lounge! We pre-gamed at the event by getting our hair and makeup done for an interactive photoshoot. Surrounded by fresh flavours, colours, and good company, we enjoyed the company of stunning bartenders and Toronto’s Bloggerati. Some of the features of the product launch: Two Flavours […]
The Diet-Friendly Alcohol Guide
Summertime is in full swing and with summertime come the patios, BBQs and rooftop parties coupled with copious amounts of booze. If you’re trying to lose weight, the temptations of alcohol can often be counteractive to your progress. To add fuel to the fire it’s really hard to cut booze completely out of your diet. […]
Fave Fridays – Au naturel
Balzac’s Coffee Roasters – I was never much of a coffee drinker but their nifty location nestled in the Distillery District made me want to try. Glowing reviews mounted on the wall greet you at the door and the rusty interior beckons you to take a closer look. Americano and a vegan brownie for me […]
Fave Friday – Munchies and Moisture
Snacks, Snacks, Snacks. I know, it’s my downfall. This week’s edition (I know, we’ve been spotty with the updates on #FaveFridays) is all about the munchies and moisture. Here’s the break down of everything wonderful on my mind lately:
Whoa, Wednesday – Starbucks Cold Cups

Available in a number of varieties – 24 oz Coral Ombre, a 16 oz Yellow Ombre, and a Stainless Steel and White Chiseled Tumbler. Find them at your local Starbucks on shelves, and get ready […]
Exploring Junction Flea
After visiting the Brooklyn Flea Market the last time I was in NYC, I was hooked. Imagine my delight when I discovered that we have something very similar in Toronto, namely the monthly Junction Flea! Held on the second Sunday of every month, the Junction Flea features over 70+ select independent vendors selling antiques, handmade craft+design, food, vintage […]
Fave Friday – My “right now” Restaurants
Top Row: Hawker Bar – Simply Singaporean street food with major flavor on lower Ossington. Its dishes are consistently delicious and on point. I always order their Chili Salt Tofu and Singaporean Chicken Wings to start off, then Hainanese Chicken Rice with their holy trinity of ginger puree, sweet dark soy and chili sauce […]
The Lunch Bag, Bag
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect Zara item since their Canadian e-commerce launch (about time!). With an overwhelming amount to choose from (and with beautifully shot product…) I had a field day picking and choosing the perfect pieces. With the combination blazer / jacket I picked up was an incredible love of mine, […]
Giveaway :: Up & Coming :: RUNE – CLOSED
One of the things that we love most about Toronto, is all the emerging talent that we have in our bustling city. At the latest Junction Flea event, we discovered RUNE, a jewelry design collaborative started by three artistic and creative friends including Sharon Leung, Kristen Lim-Tung and Jane Kate Wong. As soon as we laid our […]
