The W Hotel brand has gained notoriety across the world as the ultimate luxury hotel and last week I had the absolute pleasure to call their Montreal property home for a few days. Located in the city’s historic Banque du Canada building and just blocks away from Old Montreal/The Old Port, it’s a phenomenal location […]
I bet if we were all told 5 years ago that we were going to be in a long term lockdown due to a global pandemic, working from home for a year, perpetually having to wear K95 face masks whenever we left the house for “essentials”, with kids doing remote learning from home, never in […]
Marrakesh has long been on my travel “bucket list” and seeing as though I’m not heading to there anytime soon, I figured a good consolation would be to enjoy a Moroccan inspired treatment at the Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris located on the fifth floor of Toronto’s Shangri-La Hotel.

Although we would all prefer to have direct flights whenever we travel, sometimes we cannot get around having a connection on route to our final destination. Most of us sit around drinking calorie ridden cocktails and noshing on trans-fatty, over-priced snacks, but what if I told you there are some healthy ways to kill the […]

If I could, I would travel there each weekend from May to August and do nothing but shop, eat copious amounts of pain au chocolat and enjoy some of the cities amazing dining experiences.

The Toronto based company has recently announced […]
As a daily commuter into the city I spend a significant amount of time in my car and an obscene amount of money on gas, which trust me I would rather spend on shoes and the Celine Trapeze handbag. When I heard Chevrolet Canada had released a diesel version to their sleek Cruze sedan, that […]
Queen Street West has a new addition in the form of a chic boutique hotel and it’s pretty awesome! I’ve been hearing about the Beverley Hotel several weeks before it opened and have been trolling their social media accounts waiting for those two magical words “NOW OPEN!” so I could get in there and check […]
During the month of May I literally filled my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts with stunning images of my trip to the island of Bequia. If you have been following my blog for a while you may recall me posting about the destination under “Bridal Diaries”, when I was in the middle of planning my […]
Are you a savvy traveler…? If you’re constantly on the move crossing the globe either for business or pleasure, you understand that it’s crucial to have some key items which you not only need, but love as well! Whether your travel expertise has allowed you to come up with your own necessary “jet-set” items or […]
I used to have this preconceived notion that traveling via train was classy, romantic, and chic – just like it was in the 1940s or portrayed in old movies. Well, boy was I wrong! After traveling from Washington, DC to New York City several years ago, I quickly realized that it certainly did […]
