I really needed a girls weekend away. I can’t even tell you how important it is for me to step away from my life, my kids, my to-do list and just spend some quality time with friends.

3 Ingredient Mounds Cookies
This isn’t a new recipe (thanks to my friend Jenny for this new favourite) but my version is nut-free and so darn easy to make. My recipe swaps sweetened coconut for unsweetened to cut down on the sugar and in my opinion, you’d never know the difference.

My First Hammam Treatment At Soma
Luxury and wellness go very well together and recently I was treated to both.

I was excited and very… Continue reading My First Hammam Treatment At Soma
