3 Reasons You Need to Try Scarborough Town Centre’s TASTE MRKT

August 23, 2016 by Nick Joly 1 Comment

scarborough town centre's taste mrkt

SO I recently had the chance to visit Scarborough Town Centre's TASTE MRKT for the first time, and thought I’d share my experience with you! Because let’s face it, I share almost everything on here with you guys! Cleverly named, TASTE MRKT, the first phase of Scarborough Town Centre’s dining area features 22 vendors with flavours from around the world! I brought S along with me for the visit, and together we enjoyed ourselves a cute little date night. Felt like I was 17 again hanging out at ...

How I Nourish, and Treat Myself with… Milk!

August 19, 2016 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

Natrel On the Go Inspired by nick

Hey friends, let’s talk milk for a second, shall we? First, like many of you, I grew up on milk. I had it with my cereal for breakfast, as a to-go carton at school, and even as an after-school snack sometimes. As I entered my later teens and started playing sports and working out, I’d have it as a post-workout drink for nourishment. And, as for many of you too, it became a household staple. Recently, however, milk has been catching a lot of heat in the media, for several reasons. And the ...

Sanuk Shoes Inspired By Nick

Good morning from one of my favorite Toronto rooftops! It's only Thursday, and so far, what a week it has been! The Raptors are up against The Cavaliers in the Conference Finals, yesterday I attended my first ever Blue Jays game and got to experience it with my heartmate in the Samsung Lounge. PS - they revealed some of their new 4k TV's that are absolutely insane! I've gotta have one! I've been prepping for the long weekend coming up, as I have my best man and his girlfriend coming to visit. ...

Treat Yourself with Something Special!

March 23, 2016 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

treat yourself inspired by nick

If I'm being honest, my version of "treating yourself" usually has something to do with some kind of chocolate or dessert. But every now and then, with all of the things that come with a hectic city life, you just gotta treat yourself. Am I right?! Whether it's with chocolates, a day at the spa, a night out, or any one of your guilty pleasures, just treat yourself friends!! Take the time you need to relax and enjoy something that brings you pleasure. If not, and if you're anything like me, ...

DIY Mason Jar Salads

If you've checked out my Instagram account lately, you've likely noticed the influx of yummy fruit & veggie photos that have taken over! Ever since I subscribed to Fresh City Farms' weekly organic produce delivery, I've had more than my share of daily intake of fruits and vegetables. Me and S have been trying to come up with different recipes to try and new ways of cooking certain vegetables. We'd never even seen a celery root before! One of the greatest little life hacks I've stumbled ...

Fresh City Farms Organic Inspired by Nick

S & I just signed up for this amazing all-organic produce delivery service by Fresh City Farms and we love it! So let me just start by saying that me and S definitely don't consider ourselves all-organic, only-organic, 24/7, day and night people. Where we can, we will shop and buy organic, and it isn't for any reason other than the health benefits that eating organic brings to our bodies, if you're wanting to try eating organic and fresh produce have a look around at various fresh produce ...

Ten Mottos to Live by in 2016

January 10, 2016 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

inspired by nick 10 mottos to live by in 2016

Today marks ten days into the new year, and these few days have given me time to reflect on things that have inspired and molded me to be who I am today, and the things have nudged me along to create Inspired by Nick. I told myself that this year, instead of setting resolutions, which are more often than not unreasonable, unattainable and just plain un-kept, that I would live by ten mottos, ten ways to go about life differently. They're ten things that we could all benefit from reminding ...

happy #dayofpink y’all 🌷 a day where I hope e happy #dayofpink y’all 🌷 a day where I hope everyone can stand in solidarity and in allyship to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to end discrimination which we know can take form in many ways be it based on race, age, gender, sexuality, being differently abled, or other. 
👏🏼 we still have work to do 👏🏼 
because for as much progress as we’ve made, we still see and hear stories of injustice, bullying, and repression every single day. So please challenge yourselves to have difficult conversations, be open to learning, support your networks, elevate the voices of those who need it, raise awareness, endorse people who are committed to equality, and commit to change so we can build a better tomorrow 🏳️‍🌈🌸

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored
