The Curious Case Of The Sweater Dress
I’m a big fan of getting together with friends. Whether it’s around the kitchen table or squeezed into a booth at our favourite restaurant, nothing compares to the great conversations and laughs we share when we’re with our favourite people. As a nightlife lover I often socialize in restaurants and bars but every now and…

Wrapped In Mud At A Nordic Spa
I’m a fan of vacations, both big and small. Getting away from it all doesn’t have to mean getting to the airport, getting on a plane and getting out of Dodge. Escaping everyday stress can be a simple and taking a day to head to a spa where you can be pampered from head to…

Estérel Resort
Long weekends are perfect for little getaways. A mini vacation is just what we need as we begin to settle into the long hot days and wonderfully busy nights of the summer season. Montreal is an hour away from the Laurentian Mountains and there’s more than enough up north to keep us occupied for a…

Bromont
As much as I love the feeling of lifting off the tarmac at Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport and having an aircraft whisk me away to a vacation far, far away it’s not always that feasible or affordable. Sometimes a weekend vacation with a few friends can be just the vacation you need. Hopping in your…

This holds true for the people that call the region of Northern New Brunswick home. A group of very lucky bloggers gathered last week to experience a taste of Northern New Brunswick as we were introduced to…

Estrimont Suites & Spa
While many of us perpetually dream of bottomless Pina-coladas on endless sandy beaches, others are strapping on their snowshoes, snapping into ski boots and lacing up for laps around the ice. With its vast forests, pristine lakes and perfectly cold temperatures, Quebec is a great place to spend the winter months. Mini winter escapes for…

An Ardbeg Ardventure
When I accepted the invitation from Ardbeg Whiskey to travel to Lac Sacacomie in the Mauricie region of Quebec, I couldn’t have imagined the impact it would have on me. I’ve done press trips before but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw, what I felt and what I learned over two days…

The Great Escape
Late in November we travelled to Mont-Tremblant, a sprawling ski town that sits cozily in the Laurentian mountain range of Quebec. The destination is popular with visitors of all sorts including tourists, celebrities and sports enthusiasts alike coming from all over the world to experience some of the best ski (and après-ski) conditions in North…

Paris Was Ours
When you think Paris, you think the most romantic city in the world, or the Eiffel tower, or romantic walks along the seine. For me, Paris is all that and lots more. I love Paris and so do at least 32 other people. I recently started reading “Paris Was Ours” by Penelope Rowland. The book…
