Serene Selfie at Ward's Island

I grew up in the city, but I am an island girl at heart. I am always torn between being the two!

Living in Toronto can be hetic at times.  Taking a staycay from the everyday can be what one needs to rejuvenate with some rest and relaxation without shelling out the dough or going through customs.

Here are my top beaches!

MeU & Everyone we know

Being stopped by H&M employees asking questions about the MeU bag outside Yonge & Dundas Square in the middle of the video shoot

My good friend Dean Vargas from Motion Pantry hooked me up with an awesome gig doing make up for a project he directed for MeU.

The Toronto weather has been pretty crazy and unpredictable as per usual this year. Our shoot was  rescheduled several times because of the spotty rain but we lucked out last Friday as we shot guerrilla style in the heart of down town.

Sakura to ya

I was lucky enough to participate in the Sakura Hunani (Cherry Blossom Watching) as I came to the tail end of the season. Cherry blossoms only bloom for a week, making this season all the more fleeting and coveted.
