Now that the Christmas decorations are away, it's time to start preparing for the next calendar event - Valentines! We're just about 5 weeks away. I've built this list for teachers and parents who are looking for ideas to add some fun and sweets on February 14th. The list contains ideas for candy, decorations, and gift ideas.

As 2025 slowly begins to wrap up, I realize I didn't get to travel to all the places I had hoped this year. On the positive side, it just means my 2026 list just got longer. Here's the curated list of my must-visit places this upcoming year. Some of these places I've been many times, and some I'm hoping to stop by for a quick 2-3 day trip, and I realize I need more time to explore. If you're like me, travel always gives me the most amount of joy and inspiration. If you're looking for travel inspiration, then this is for you! Check back again! I will keep updating this list. Happy exploring in 2026!

We're deep into winter in Canada now. For many Canadians, we love to escape the cold and winter months. I've built this to make it easy and effortless for anyone heading somewhere warm this winter. I try to pack light, and keep things interchangeable so it makes dressing effortless. Please keep checking back. I'll add more items over the next few weeks.

The current economy these days is giving blah. The job market is not looking great, but that doesn't mean we can't look stylish all through the winter months. This list is perfect for those who are looking to always look pulled together without the effort or the price tag. The key is to shop and add timeless pieces. Splurge where you need to, but hold off if you don't. I've tried to keep the items on this list under $150.

One of my favorite things to do is travel and to find adventures around every corner. Being comfortable is key! These are my go to shoes for any travel situation. I spend most of my time city trekking. I do love exploring cafes and museums. But there are occasions when I look for dirt paths and greenery.

I pulled this list together for anyone looking for help to build their capsule wardrobe for Fall 2025. It's all about basics that can be mixed together for different combinations to give you a whole new look. I tend to buy neutral colors and stay away from anything too trendy. I might pick up 3-5 trendier items but otherwise it can date you fast.

Sometimes all you need is a quick weekend getaway to recharge. I love sneaking off on long weekends to explore nearby towns or visit family and friends. For trips like these, I keep a little capsule wardrobe that makes packing light (and still looking put-together) super easy. Lululemon is one of my go-to brands—I can roll everything up, toss it into an oversized duffle, and still feel great when I arrive. You’ll also find a few other favorite essentials sprinkled into this list. Bonus: many of these pieces double as my must-haves for long-haul flights to Asia!

Hey, it might be almost September, but I like to build my lists early and start shopping once the back to school frenzy calms down. By starting early, it allows me plenty of time to shop for deals, carefully giftwrap, and curate each gift for everyone one my list. This way I don't feel so rushed. Check back often. I will be updating this list every few weeks! I hope this list helps you on your quest to find that perfect gift for your family and friends.

Let's be honest. The economy across many countries (Canada & USA) is awful these days. Between the layoffs, rising costs of living, and economic uncertainty, everyone is stressed! I'm hoping this budget-friendly gift-giving list helps to take some of the stress off during holiday gift-giving. At the end of the day, it's really about the thought. I've pulled this list based on the things I have purchased and gifted with cost and usefulness in mind.

As a frequent traveler, here's my must-haves for my carry-on bag. Usually, I travel with one small carry-on and my backpack (for my laptop). This list helps you stay organized and ready for your next trip!

I started my journey in entrepreneurship as a kid. I was 12 and needed something to do while my friends were traveling in the summer with their families. What started as a “summer camp” in my parents' backyardyard became the launching pad to all my creative entrepreneurship ideas. I have been part of many start-ups, and I pulled this list of all the books that I have read to help shape my leadership style and business mind.

I'm taking you guys to some of the most memorable spots that I have visited. Some of them are big urban cities and on the flip side, I take you to a town of 300 in Ontario. So if you ever are up for an adventure - this is the list! I'm a gypsy at heart.

You'll know that I love a solid travel adventure. If you're also like me who seeks an adventure, I've compiled a list for some of the world's most unique hotel stays. These are off the beaten path. Some are 5 start resorts, and there are many that you just pull up with a backpack in hand and soak up the surrounding scene. Life is really all about the journey! So let's go out and explore every corner!

I have done many, many moves in my lifetime. This list is complied for those who are looking to furnish their new home. Often, I sell my properties fully furnished and based on my experience, the following is a list of items that are timeless.

It's mid-August and you're trying to soak up the last minute of sunshine at the cottage. If you're getting ready for back to school, I've compiled this list for kids (high school and under). Parents, I know this is a stressful time. Rushing to the store, readjusting their sleep schedules, and not to mention the cost of shopping these days. I've compiled this list to offer a full range of selections based on the previous shopping trips with my own. I hope this helps!

This list is for those their early 40s. Hormones will change your hair! My hair went from Asian straight to thick (course) and wavy overnight! So it's taken me a while to figure out what works and what doesn't.

I always describe Calgary as the big little city. Big enough for tons of amenities but little enough where it is still easy to get around. Plus everyone is super friendly! This list is great if you're looking to spend a week in the Calgary region, or if you're local and you need something to do.

I love having natural, glowing skin. Everything from cleansing balms to serums to help brighten and refine pores - I have tried so many. This list represents the products that worked well for me!

Summer is just around the corner! That means there will be plenty of summer weddings. Don't worry! I've got you covered. Here's the list of my of recommended dresses for either day or evening weddings. And anything in between!

Here are my spring top picks! I am the ultimate minalmalist so I like to keep things in my closet that I can mix and match, and wear in many different possible scenarios.

If you're visiting the Toronto area and you have a couple of extra days, I highly recommend you hop in the car and drive up the 400 (the major highway that runs north of Toronto and is the most direct route to this region). Canadian's refer to this spot as Cottage Country. It's a mixture of estate lake homes, pass down generational cottages, resorts, hotels, and camp sites. This region is peppered with some of the most beautiful lakes and wildlife. It's a must visit if you're in the area! And the best part? It's four seasons! It has something for everyone no matter the time of year. But personally I prefer the summer time visits!

Looking for your next travel destination in 2025?! Here are my top choices of places to visit!

Tokyo is a beautiful and vibrant city full of culture and history. If you're looking to add an amazing place to explore in 2025, I strongly suggest visiting Tokyo. 5-6 days allows you to scratch the surface. I'll be back!

The world is a beautiful place. But nothing compares to Malaysia. KL is my favorite city.

I love to explore all the corners of this earth. This is my list of must stays.

Everyone that knows me will know that I love Korean makeup brands. They're usually pretty cost effective and they work well with my darker Asian skin tone. I currently have these products in my travel makeup bag. I have a lot of long-haul flights from North America to Asia for work. To ensure I don't stick out while I travel abroad, I shift to a lighter, more youthful make up look. Less is more in Asia.
