  • Isn’t it amazing that we can wake up in one place, and then be in another in just a matter of hours?!

  • Did you know that every two seconds someone is forcibly displaced from their home? Imagine you and your family had to pack up and leave your house without warning. ⁣ ⁣ Over 70 million people worldwide have been displaced from their homes by drought, conflict, flooding, and other disasters. This is the highest amount on record, and these people have limited access to basic resources.⁣ ⁣ Today I am giving up my feed to bring awareness to the MCC’s #ShareYourTable Program. ⁣ ⁣ Share Your Table is a monthly giving program that provides emergency food to families when they need it most. ⁣ ⁣ Please feel free to enter their Spice Madam assorted spice kit giveaway (link in bio), and I will select a winner February 24th, but I would really encourage you to consider getting involved. For as little as $7 a month (essentially the price of a latte) you could make a big impact for a family in need. Each month you will be introduced to a new family, and receive a recipe from the family’s region to try for yourself at home. Displacement is complicated, but a little generosity can really go a long way. ⁣ #FEED2FEED

  • P u r s e f i r s t 👜⁣ ⁣ Wondering what to purchase your sweetie for Valentine’s Day? Recently I had the absolute pleasure of visiting @michaelkors store to share some super fun gift ideas!! From beautifully crafted hand bags, sunglasses, watches: you can’t make a bad choice. Be sure to pop over to my stories to see all the fun ideas, and the new #michaelkors collection (spoiler alert everything is stunning). ⁣ ⁣ The “Carmen” satchel bag is SO fun, and comes in an array of beautiful spring colors, and is the perfect everyday size. The lovely sales associate showed me that it is adjustable on the sides, so you can customize the size, as well you can wear it on your arm or over your shoulder. The chain link shoulder strap adds a fun edgy touch, while the magnetic closures makes getting in-and-out easy peasy. Would make a great gift 😉😉😉 #sponsored 📷 @tmacrae
  • D a t e  N i g h t ⁣ ⁣ Looking for a fun new spot to take your hunny for a date, or the team for a lunch meeting? Recently @Moxies opened a new downtown Halifax location conveniently located at the Nova Centre, and we are SO excited! ⁣ ⁣ This weekend we had the absolute pleasure of popping in for some dinner, and drinks and it did not disappoint. To start we tried a few different things: tuna ceviche, spicy tuna roll, and mosaic dip. Then for mains I did the vegetarian power bowl (so good and so loaded with yummy ingredients), while my bf had the steak frites. Food was super fresh (so many yummy options), and the service was 👌 ⁣ ⁣ PSA for my Halifax peeps Moxies is also participating in #dinearoundhfx so they are offering 3 courses lunch special for $30, and dinner for $40, as well as a special Valentine’s Day menu! So many options, and while you’re there make sure to try the mosaic dip YUM you won’t be disappointed. 💛 #sponsored #MoxiesHalifax
  • GIFT IDEAS BASED ON LOVE LANGUAGE ⁣ ⁣ We are wonderfully complicated species, and how we show and receive love absolutely varies from person to person.⁣ ⁣ Communication plays a major role in our relationships, and even when we think we’re trying our best we may feel like for whatever reason we’re missing the mark. ⁣ ⁣ So as we approach Valentine’ Day I just want to gently remind you that your signifiant other loves you for you, and while you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself: it is important that you make an effort to show up for them.⁣ ⁣ Whether your SO’s love language is gifts, physical touch, acts of service, we got it all covered in today’s gift ideas blog post! #linkinbio ⁣ 📸 @davidlloydbryant @candaceberryphotography
  • “We want people who genuinely” ... ⁣ ⁣ The word “genuine” seems to get tossed around a lot when people are requesting product or event promotion. And while I can’t speak for anyone other than myself, I’m here to 1000% assure you that regardless of whether I get paid for my work (because it is work) my feelings towards a products or event are always: genuine. ⁣ ⁣ When brands or businesses toss around the word “genuine” it definitely comes off as “we see the value in what it is you do, but we don’t value it enough to actually pay you for your services and your time”. ⁣ ⁣ While not everyone online is “genuine” this is where research is vitally important so you as a brand/ company find the right fit. What you don’t see online are the countless brands/products we as bloggers have to turn down because for whatever reason is just not the right fit, and quite simply there aren’t enough hours in the day. ⁣ ⁣ I would confidently say that most of us bloggers probably say “no” more than we say “yes” because we’re so careful and mindful of protecting our audience from being bombarded with ad after ad after ad. ⁣ ⁣ If you’re a brand you should absolutely be looking for bloggers who do “genuinely” enjoy your product or would enjoy your event, but do your research, and ask yourselves do their values align with ours? ⁣ ⁣ Look for bloggers who are already using, and/or promoting your product, or send them the product and allow them enough time to experience it (so they can actually give an honest review) and then see if it’s a good fit for a paid campaign. ⁣ ⁣ Whether money has been exchanged or not (bloggers have bills too) it doesn’t mean that the experiences are any less “genuine”; however, it just means that the blogger can continue to keep creating amazing, entertaining, and engaging content (for free for their followers), but most importantly be compensated for their time.

  • LENTIL “MEATBALL” RECIPE ⁣ ⁣ 🥗 Definitely not a vegetarian, but I do fully appreciate the toll eating meat (at the rate we do) is taking on our planet. ⁣ ⁣ 🥒 I love ALL food, but I also can’t deny my love for veggies and how amazing they make my body feel. I really do enjoy vegetarian, as well as full blown vegan meals. Sometimes I have full vegetarian days, or vegan days, and tbh I don’t notice a big difference (flavor wise or with feeling satiated)! ⁣ ⁣ 🥦 We can’t deny that our planet is going to be in some serious trouble v soon, and if we all ate a few more vegetarian meals I do think it could really help to offset the environmental footprint we’re leaving by eating SO much meat ALL the time.⁣ ⁣ 🥕 So whether you’re a vegetarian or sometimes vegetarian (all are welcome) today on the blog I’m sharing this super yummy lentil “meatball” recipe! Enjoy #linkinbio ⁣ ⁣ Hope you enjoy today’s video !!
