  • Things you learn when you’re an entrepreneur

    I came across this article by Melyssa at the Nectar Collective and it really struck a chord! Me and my best friend/business partner have been working on our company H&P Properties together for more than 2 years and have been learning so much along the way. There are definite struggles, but some really great moments, […]

  • Neato Robotic Vacuum = Household Hero

    Wow, ok so I got this cool new robot vacuum because I am lazy and also like having cool house gadgets. Guys! This thing is amazing! Kinda makes me feel gross, but also amazing. You see, because I run a B&B from my home, I am always cleaning and vacuuming. I had just vacuumed before […]

  • Pre-Opening Sneak Peek at Tatyana’s new Boutique in Toronto!!!

It’s basically a celebration of vintage motorbikes and scooters, and an excuse to show them off 😉 I did ride my scooter down to the event but didn’t participate in the judging event since I can hardly call her vintage… […]

  • OOTD – Aug. 8

    I didn’t really feel like getting too dressed up today. I’m tired and it’s going to be hot, so comfort was key. Today’s outfit was easy, breezy and comfortable. The pattern and cut of the dress really enhances my shape, giving me a nice feminine look without trying too hard. I like this one too […]
