Things to do in Grenada

Winters are brutal in Canada. Let’s be real.

The minute the fall temperatures start rolling in, many of us are reminded that the cold winter that is just around the corner. Ice. Snow. Polar Vortex. We know it’s coming, but we’re just not ready to think about it yet, so what do a lot of Canadians do?

Style Secret: Makeup Splurge vs. Save

I have a few guilty pleasures I like to indulge in.

I’ve been back in Vancouver for about a month, and after enjoying the last few weeks of summer, the time has come…

Weekend Wander: A Trip to Ucluelet

It’s bittersweet. The last long-weekend of the summer has come and gone, but I can’t even be upset about it because I had a fabulous weekend away.

This weekend, my fiancé and our friends travelled to Vancouver Island to explore the town of Ucluelet, or Ukee as the locals call it. I’ve never been to that side of the island, so I was exited to see the Pacific Ocean in all its glory and explore a place off the well-travelled path.

Here is a little snapshot of what we got up to.
