Long Weekend Camping – Canada Day!

The long weekend just passed and it seemed as though half of us went camping. It was such a great weekend and Brandon and I saw some beautiful places! We took a small road trip to Niagara and stayed near Port Erie in the cutest campsite. On the way, we stopped in Hamilton to see Webster’s Falls and Tew Falls. Those were both so beautiful, yet so close to where we live at the moment. While camping in Niagara, we drove downtown to see Niagara Falls even though we’ve both seen it many times, and we went around shopping and exploring the entertainment in the area.

I have to say though…. sleeping in a tent IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE. This the second time I’ve been camping (both times with Brandon thank god because he is a master camper I swear) and both times I could not sleep well. The first time we camped in Tobermory, we didn’t have an air mattress or anything and I swear I had a rock stuck under my back the whole weekend…. and this time we had air mattresses… yes two. We had two singles and tried to put them into one Queen sheet…. we ended up rolling in between the mattresses all night. Also, IT WAS FREEZING the first night. I woke up shivering and we had multiple blankets, sleeping bags and hoodies. Overall, it was still a great weekend and I would love to go camping again, I just wish I could get better sleep haha.

New York City

Hey everyone! As my first post on my blog, I figured I would use this time to show you how beautiful NYC is, regardless of the cold weather. I went for the first time this February, and it was amazing. Mike and I only went for 4 days along with another couple, but we made good use of the time and got to see a lot. We were there for the end of fashion week, which totally excited me even though I didn’t get to go.. (maybe next year). What we mostly did was walk around and stop at every Tea or Macaron shop we saw, and I think that’s where I spent most of my money haha. My two favourite tea shops we stopped at were Harney & Sons and obviously David’s Tea. Definitely check them out if you’re in the Soho area. As far as macarons go… they’re all amazing. My favourite was the salted caramel mac from Bisous Ciao Macarons, I didn’t want to finish it because it was so delicious. They were expensive so I didn’t buy too many… currently regretting.

The subways were super neat in NYC, literally on every corner. Much better than Toronto’s. It was super easy to get to Times Square from our hotel in the lower east side. We stayed at the Holiday Inn on Delancey street, and I’m glad we did. The location was further away from the touristy areas and we got to experience a lot more in that area and near by it.










Don’t mind his silly face..

As far as nightlife goes… boy is it ever expensive. Our hotel clerk gave us a name of someone at a bar he recommended and promised us cheaper cover with this name. Our most expensive cover in my hometown is $7 CAN if you don’t include strip clubs.. and to our surprise, the cheap cover was $30 each… drinks also included an auto gratuity and came to $14.40 for a vodka seven… Let’s just say it was a decently early night and all I wanted was to grab street meat and be back in my comfy hotel bed.
