Pre-Pre Wedding Planning & Dreaming | Spring National Bridal Show

Image
I'm the girl who has half of her wedding planned since I was 16-- makes sense given that I am also the kind of girl to start a blog devoted to makeup, travel to the other end of the continent for a beauty conference, and take pictures of flowers basically every time I see them. When the team behind the Spring National Bridal show reached out to me to see if I would be interested in working with them to cover their upcoming show I was first flattered, then a tiny bit confused (I'm not engaged!), and then honestly really, really excited.

Holts Cafe | Winterlicious 2017

One of my favourite things about Fridays at my office is having the chance to grab lunch with my work friends. We love going to new places (though we may have a bit of a thing for chicken wings...) and trying new things. Winterlicious is one of my favourite times of the year in Toronto-- it gives me the opportunity to try new restaurants, and with the price fix menu it usually forces me to order something a bit outside of my usual comfort zone on the menu. This week my friends and I decided to check out Holts Cafe! I was actually there recently with my friend Emily M. (not for Winterlicious) but I was excited to go back! This post will be the first of a mini series I will be doing on Winterlicious-- basically I am planing on going to three or so restaurants and sharing my thoughts on them with you here.
