My fav thing to do while we were in Japan was finding and collection Goshuin at the temples and shrine. I loved seeing it be hand painted in our book and the different designs that each temple had. Plus it serves as a good reminder of each of places we visited while on our trip. 🏯🇯🇵

We LOVED our dinner at @sushi_atsuya in Osaka. It was an omakase dinner experience (they also do lunch) for about 11K YEN and every bite was AMAZING! I’m drooling just typing this caption. 🤤🍣

Because it’s Oktoberfest season in Munich, I had to throw it back to the day I ate my bodyweight in 🌭 and somehow drank many litres of 🍺.

This is still one of my fav things I’ve ever done on a trip and I hope to go back one day. 🍻

Add this to your summer bucket list before summer comes to an end. The Casa Loma Symphony in the Garden is a great way to enjoy the castle in the summer! They still have a few shows left with tickets available. 🎼

This past weekend was the only weekend this month we’re home in Toronto so I needed to make the most of it. 🍕🌸🍵🧘🏻‍♀️ The heat almost killed me but the city is truly the best in the summer. 🤗

Throwback to earlier this summer when I FINALLY got to try the infamous @cherrystbbq. I’ve heard so much about this place over the years and never find myself out that way so I finally made a point to make the journey and give it a try. Spoiler alert: it did not disappoint!

I debated gatekeeping this great deal for beautiful flowers 💐 in Toronto but honestly it was too good not to share.

The infamous @vildastoronto in Toronto has soft serve ice cream with a new delicious flavor every month. I am still seriously dreaming about this strawberry tahini ice cream. It was so damn delicious! 🤤🍓

I forgot how fun Nashville was until I went back for a Bachelorette I planned for my bestie last month. I seriously cannot get enough of this city and it’s the perfect spot for the best Bachelorette! 💕

For more details, I have a full guide on my blog for all things Nashville.

Needed a little afternoon pick-me-up recently so I walked over to @matchahaus.ca at Dundas & Bathurst in Toronto. 🍵 I have always been a matcha girlie and I love how it’s having a moment because it means that there are so many new places and drinks to try! 💚 Where should I try next?

In full transparency, my weekends usually don’t look like this. I’m not usually eating out so much 💸 but I’ve been away for the last multiple weeks and I was needing to check some of my summer bucket list items off. ✅
