How To Refresh Your Mind

I find it harder and harder to focus as September comes. I don’t know if it’s sangria summer withdrawal or self motivation taking a dial down. Often, I’m left feeling like I need a little refresher to be able to get my shit done. Here are my tips for when your brain and body feel […]

You + The Flight Pack = 100%

We launched. And we funded. 100%. I’m eternally grateful. It feels pretty surreal to know that less than an week into our Kickstarter campaign, we’ve hit our (initial) goal of $6,500 CAD. I’m so excited to share that The Flight Pack crowdfunding is only 5 days in, and hit goal on Sunday, August 6th.  But, we’re […]

My One Year Commitment

Commitment is a frightening word for a nomadic, digital worker of the world. My name is Gloria Chik, and I’m a travel addict. I found myself sitting in a New York city apartment two years ago, feeling uneasy at the life I created for myself. What happened to spontaneity? What happened to chasing the dream […]

Hudson’s Bay Grand Portage and Canada 150

  Photography by @jeffstiggs, assisted by Chetna Suri While the big day has come and gone, we can’t forget there’s a whole year ahead for us to celebrate the bright red and white. There’s something to be said about the way that our country screams patriotically when summer swings around. I can’t help but soak […]

SickKids takes us to Marrakech with Scrubs in the City

Set in a vibrant, colorful setting at the Evergreen Brickworks, my friend Jules and I walked into a visual wonderland. Staged with a textiles market, fun and detailed arches that paid homage to Morocco, we were treated to a night of food, music, and culture.

#ROGUESTORIES: Emily Piggford, Actor

     Emily Piggford is the most present person you’ll ever meet. She’s the kind of conversationalist who isn’t afraid to pause before a response—aka the ultimate sign of someone who can’t do small talk—and she unpacks any subject with the same fearlessness she applies to her work as an actor on shows like Hemlock Grove, […]

#DISCOVERY: My Landrover Experience

Something about a trip to Los Angeles and Utah, complete with off-roading and in-car experience sounded like a full-fledged adventure. No doubt about it – Landrover (Canada and global) knows how to put on an event. A group of automotive journalists and I (I…suppose I’d be under the “other” / “lifestyle” category) headed to the […]

The Fool Proof Guide to the Hotel Workout

For those of you who have to travel frequently for work, you know how quickly your workout regime goes out the window. It’s hard to make it work. Like Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield- levels hard. (Still holding out hope though!) Thankfully, it is possible to come up with a workout routine that requires nothing […]

COCKTAIL: Wilhelm Scream with Dewars 12

Cheers to all of the Scotts out there, for bringing us one of the most beloved liquors of our time – the scotch. I would wholeheartedly say that my beverage enjoyment has taking a large shift in the last few years. From the overly sweet cocktail concoctions, to a more sophisticated curation of flavors, a […]

PROFILE: Aleyah Solomon + Julia Eskins, Here & There Magazine

     I met Aleyah Solomon and Julia Eskins through the creative community in Toronto. Aleyah was always a photographer whose work I admired from afar, and I leapt on the opportunity to collaborate with her when the right client came along. When I noticed that Aleyah and Julia had started on an almost manic-travel-spree, I […]

GIRL VS. GYM: Reebok Nano 7 x Crossfit

Photography by Jeff Stiggs I have a sorted history with exercise – I don’t do it nearly enough (or consistently). It’s hard finding time to eat right, be active, and find something that you love fitting into your schedule. I hopped on over to the Reebok Cross Fit Gym in Liberty Village (Toronto), and was […]
