Happy 2018 friends! I CANNOT believe how quickly time is moving by. As I was going through my photos to put together a recap of this year, it really hit me how many challenges this year held. I know social media tends to give the impression that everyone's living a better life than you (or they actually are,) but in reality, everyone has stuff they are dealing with and moving through. That's living, right?...

We just got back from a 4 day whirlwind adventure in Anaheim. Like many in BC, prior to our trip, all I really knew about Anaheim was Disneyland (sorry Anaheim locals!) I've since learned there IS SO MUCH MORE!!! I've never really spent much time in Anaheim itself. In the past we've been there for a day or two to see Disney and I've never had the chance to explore much else.  Those of...

Does anyone else feel like you blinked and 2016 is over?  This year was jam packed. It brought new challenges and adventures. Here's a snapshot of some of the highlights from this past year!  2 0 1 6  H I G H L I G H T S   Shoppers Drug Mart: Beauty Boutique -  the year started out with an exciting expansion into select Beauty Boutiques of Canadian mega store, SDM. They carry luxury...

After my incredible trip this past winter storm watching in Ucluelet, I knew I wanted to come back with Terry this summer. Over the years, we've done trips to the island and we wanted to do something we've never done before. After some research, we decided to book a trip with Wild Rock Adventures! I invited my sister and her 2 kids and the 5 of us hit the road to Ukee! ^^ my...

Welcome to my travel journal! For those who follow me on Instagram, you're probably aware we've just returned from exploring beautiful Belize. I'm really excited to share about this life changing trip. My goal is to be your tour guide and bring you along with us, breaking it down in a few blog posts-- where to stay, what to do, what to eat, what to explore and a round up of what we got up...

With the year end winding down, we decided to cross one last thing off the travel bucket list... STORM WATCHING! Being in love with Vancouver Island, I've visited in all seasons but the winter. I've always been curious what the powerful sea would look like during the moody storm season and we figured what better place than to do it from Ucluelet. After a little research, I packed up my warmest jacket, my rain...

Every year, Terry and I make our "bucket list" of trips/hikes/goals for the summer months. Usually we are pretty good at checking things off our list, but for nearly 2 years we've had Joffre Lakes on our list to hike! As the very last week of August rolled around we decided to finally make it happen! Joffre Lakes Provincial Park is in Pemberton (roughly one hour from Whistler), so it was the perfect excuse...

After sharing pictures of my first time hiking to Lindeman Lake on the blog and IG... I had SO many people asking where this tranquil gem of a lake was. You guys are amazing I love that so many of you also have an appreciation for the outdoors! I wanted to share more of this beauty with you all, so I decided to take my pal and photographer Iulia up there for our latest Explore...

Tofino is a truly special place to me. It holds many meaningful memories, of life changing times. I visited for the first time, nearly 10 years ago on a surf trip with friends when I was dating Terry. It's no secret that I adore the ocean, so it was a love-at-first-sight kind of trip. Every time I've returned since, it reminds me of when my hubby and I were dating. It's also a place...

Play. Something that comes so natural to us as kids but seems to get harder and harder as we age. I don't know about you, but there is something so liberating about getting outside and letting your carefree spirit guide you.  Recently, Iulia and I explored Mundy Park which we discovered had all sorts of turtles basking in the sunshine, fantastic old trees to climb and the perfect rocks to skip along... Triangle Cuff in...

Yesterday was one of those days I want to remember. You know the days where your heart feels full, you're surrounded in beauty, with your favourite people- doing what you love? Yup, it was one of those days.  Terry, Hurley and I woke up to another day of gorgeous sunshine and decided it was finally time to check out Lindeman Lake (which has been on my list of places to explore for years).  Hurley was...
