Event LOVE: #VitabathLuxury at the Park Hyatt Toronto @Vitabath
We were recently invited to the Vitabath Media Preview to enjoy an afternoon of luxury on the rooftop of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Yorkville. We got pampered with massages, manicures, sipped on cocktails and snacked on tasty hors d’oeuvres; and most importantly we were given a chance to have hands-on experience with a number of the skincare and fragrance products from the Vitabath line.
“Luxury in a Bottle For over 55 years, Vitabath® luxury skin care has remained unequaled for gentle skin cleansing and conditioning.”
This was my first experience with Vitabath, and I was pleased to find that they offer an array of bath and beauty skin care products like scented bar soaps, moisturizing lotions, shower gels and exfoliating scrubs. If you’ve ever seen my bathroom, you’ll know that I love me some bath and beauty skin care products! This event was for me baby!
These cupcakes maaaaaaaaannnnn!
I loved the holiday collection!
Then I got outside and it was raining…A big thank you to everyone at Vitabath for inviting us, and for treating us to a wonderful afternoon of luxury!

Event LOVE: One-on-One with @SimpleSkinCare and @BassGita
A few weeks ago, a small group of us gathered inside the Harbinger offices for an intimate one-on-one session with celebrity make-up artist Gita Bass. She flew all the way from NYC to give us the 4-1-1 on Simple skincare, as well as give us all the goods on how to achieve and maintain beautiful and healthy skin. Being someone that has severely sensitive skin, I’m always willing to hear how I can better take care of my skin, and I this was my opportunity to ask all my questions (i.e. Is it okay that I use scrub everyday? Is it okay that I put on a mask twice, sometimes three times a week? Do I really need to use an eye cream etc.) The answers to my questions? In her exact words, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” She said it was totally fine that I scrub everyday, and use a mask several times a week, and no I don’t need to use eye cream, however as I get older I’ll probably want to…. Hmmm I may have to think about this one.
As I said before, I have very sensitive skin, and this means that I don’t just put anything on my face; so I had a number of questions for Gita regarding the Simple skincare line. I swear by black soap and raw shea butter, as that’s as pure as it gets, but sometimes I don’t have time to re-up, so it’s good to know that there is a skincare line out there, that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, but it’s also free of dyes, artificial perfumes, and chemicals, and is instead rich with vitamins and “skin loving” ingredients. I’ve used a few of the products that we got to take home a few times, and so far, so good!
Gita’s skin care tips?
- Find what works for YOU.
- Lead a healthy lifestyle, drink LOTS of water, eat LOTS of fresh vegetables and fruits, JUICE, EXERCISE.
- ALWAYS use sunscreen (I admit I get lazy with this one…)
- Moisturize
- Always wash your make up off before going to bed… ALWAYS.
- Healthy mind + Healthy body= Beautiful and healthy skin.
I live for this juice! So so so GOOD!

The ladies didn’t skip a beat!
See the smiles on our faces? It was a good afternoon!
came home and drank several cups of water!
Goodies! My faves so far are the smoothing facial scrub (naturally), the foaming cleanser and the protecting light moisturizer.
After we talked everything Simple Skincare, Gita gave us some makeup tips, while we sipped on a number of DELICIOUS Belmonte raw juices, and nibbled on light healthy snacks 🙂
Thank you so much for inviting us, and to Gita for sharing some valuable skin care tips with us!

Good Eats: @BellyBusterSub opening!
On Wednesday, we were invited to The Belly Buster Submarine’s brand new downtown location to try one of their signature subs. I’ve never been a fan of subs ever, but I’m always down to try something new, and thought maybe, just maybe a Belly Buster sub would change my mind about subs.
I love that the new location still has the original Belly Buster colours. It’s still old school, but has a fresh modern twist to it.
I gotta get my picture up there, cause I went HAM on my veggie sub! It was so so good!
Simple menu. No fuss, just yummy subs!
“Busting hunger since 1974”
I couldn’t wait to get my belly bust!
Myself and Jian
Kylie’s a G! lol
I only saw this as I was posting the pictures lol
Thank you for inviting us, I will definitely be coming back for another sub!For all of you who have experienced a Belly Buster sub, you no longer have to go all the way to North York to satisfy your craving, cause now there’s one right downtown! For those of you who haven’t yet had one, GET YOU SOME!

Event LOVE: Osteria dei Ganzi Media Patio Party @GanziToronto
Even though we’ve been having some roller coaster weather lately, last Thursday was all sunshine, and the perfect day for the Osteria dei Ganzi Patio Party. I had so much fun at the media preview a few weeks ago, so there was no way that I was going to miss it; I knew that I was in for some good vibes, good food (I loved the risotto balls, and the risotto!), and good drinks! We were welcomed with a refreshing and tasty signature sangria, and then showered with delicious traditional Italian treats, and bubbly. It was glorious!
deep fried olives… mmm mmm good!
A nice glass of chilled bubbly on a hot and humid day = perfection
The snacking was on a hundred thousand trillion lol
Bubbly and gourmet Magherita pizza? Anytime. Anyday.
chillage.
These risotto balls were everything!
sippy sippy!
A s’mores pizza??? Heaven.
The risotto was so good!
I was over there just collecting food lol
Thank you so much to everyone at Osteria dei Ganzi for inviting us, and always treating us so good!
