I truly believe the reading goes hand in hand with traveling. If you have ever had to travel for an extended period of time then you will understand all of the “down” time in between waiting at the airport, taking a train, etc. and unless you have some sort of magical device that will keep your phone/tablet charged forever or don’t mind staring at strangers for 10+ hours then a good book is essential to any traveler’s tool kit. Books are an amazing way to explore a destination before you even arrive but they also take you on some of...

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and the only thing that truly allows me to recenter myself is to walk outside and get lost for a little while. My best ideas have come to me when I disconnect from technology and go on a hike. Mother Nature amazes me every single day. I feel like there is so much to discover about the natural world around us and how beautiful it can be. So I have included a list of books for all of you who love nature just as must as I do! Also, as beautiful as Mother Nature is,...

It is January which means we are all recovering from the holiday madness. I am currently writing this in my PJs wondering what day it is and who put all of this leftover holiday candy in my office (me...it was me). So not only am I suffering from a total sugar hangover but I am also trying to push through all of this mental fog. I know the holidays can be really hard for some of us and not always a super happy time of year, whether it is because you have done a lot of binge eating and are...

I am currently typing this during that weird in-between Christmas and the New Year where I don’t really know what day it is and I am totally hungover from the mass amounts of sugar I consumed during the holidays. But this time always brings about a time of reflection. I set a goal for myself to read 50 new books in 2019, I am happy to say that I did indeed hit that goal! A couple of books were hard to get through or just not my cup of tea but a large amount of them were absolutely amazing. So...

Here's what we're watching

Okay, everyone...we officially have roughly 1 week until the end of the DECADE...or year, I guess if you are not as dramatic as me! And I don’t know about you all but one of the biggest lifestyle changes I have made over the past couple of years is eating healthier. As I get older I have realized that a happy life truly starts at what you are fueling your body with. Now, I am not saying I cut out the fun stuff entirely (cake is just too good NOT to eat) but it was just the matter of making healthier choices....

Don't wait until the new year to start accomplishing all of those #GirlBossGoals!

Minimal, budget-friendly, and chic- pair with some dried flowers for the perfect winter decor.

December is finally upon us, and as much as we all like to pretend that we are going to hit up the ski slopes and take all the cute snow selfies for the ‘gram...let’s get real. The true joy of a good snow day is staying in curled up on the couch, with a good book in one hand and hot chocolate in the other while a fire is crackling in the background. Doesn’t that just sound like perfection? Well we have compiled a list of must read new releases so you can catch up on your reading goals before...

A shop in the US, SMOKO is selling heated dumpling slippers, and honestly it's pretty genius.  On cold winter nights, all I want to do when I finish the day is get on my pyjamas, put something warm on my feet (I'm that person that always has cold feet), and eat something comforting. This combines the two of those concepts, and looks really cute and squishy at the same time.      These $35 slippers heat up via a USB and promise "cosier feet than you could ever imagine" in just 3 steps; 1. Plug in your slippers, 2. Eat...

As the self proclaimed 'Queen of Lists' (I love browsing for hours and thinking a long time before I buy online), here's what has made it into my cart lately. From self-care to pyjamas.

I'm a big fan of book lists myself, as I like to discover new fiction books through things like the Pulitzer Prizes, the Booker Prizes, etc quite often. So here is a list of my own recommendations, which are all fiction (but I do like non-fiction too), and all strongly impacted me both mentally and emotionally.    1. Colourless Tsukuru Tatami and His years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami     The story starts by portraying five teenage friends including Tsukuru. All of a sudden his friends cut ties with him and never told him why. This left him feeling lonely, suicidal,...

I'm a huge fan of non-fiction books. I love to hear people's stories, I love learning something different, and finding new inspiration from other's experiences excites me. Here's a list of some of my favourite non-fiction books that I've read recently that have made an impact on either my health, career, mental, or personal growth.     1.  Daring Greatly by Brené Brown     This book gave me a new perspective and resonated with me deeply. In this social media age (which I'm very much involved in daily for my career), there's a constant pressure to conform to societal standards and pretend...
