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!
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, Perfect for Summer
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!
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 all Organic Produce
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. We are both very health conscious people, and when it comes to buying fresh produce, we're very ...
Ten 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 ...
