After a night of dancing, laughter, and a few too many cocktails (as bachelorette weekends demand), we needed one final stop before flying home: brunch. On Sunday, July 16th, we headed to Oretta in Toronto for a midday meal that ended our trip on a high — and very aesthetic — note. There are several Oretta spots in Toronto, we…
On our bachelorette weekend at the Four Seasons Toronto, we decided to try out Café Boulud, the hotel’s French brasserie.

It only takes about two hours by car from the city and it’s a convenient way to experience the South African wildlife and nature. It’s not…
After ten days of walking, eating and beach-hopping, I decided to spend my final day doing something completely different. With a midnight flight back to France (ugh, 12 hours long), I treated myself to a morning at a local spa. The one we chose was K Beauty Spa at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The area is known more for…
