Now that the summer is here, and with Pride Toronto's Pride weekend in just a few days, I'm all about doing things that make me feel more beautiful inside and out 💅🏻

I've loved Anna Blum 🧿🪡💎 and the team at The Blumz | Jewelry & Piercing | Toronto for years - so much so that I got a second lobe piercing in my right ear during a brand activation last summer. I've been considering replacing that stud with one of those slutty little dangle earrings for some time now. I've got the outfits lined up, and since the body is tea, now felt like the perfect time for a little refresh 🫰🏻

While I was there I thought why not get a second piercing in my left ear to even them out, since we all know by now that I'm a Libra 🤭

Once we picked out the dagger stud and matching sword earring, while they were being sterilized, I decided to head around the corner to the all NEW The Blumz Perfumery. You may have seen that I checked out the BEAUTIFUL new space last week. With their help, I'm pretty sure that I've found my new signature fragrance which I am in LOVE with - Häxan by HERETIC PARFUM 🥰

From June 23 to 29, team is also offering complimentary piercing services when you purchase jewelry - plus 10% off all earrings in-store. *Some conditions apply

Maybe this is the sign you needed ahead of Pride or to celebrate the summer months that you deserve little upgrades like this in your life too 🫶🏻

Toronto is home and I'm continuing my series showcasing good food, good vibes, and good people ✨ Next Up? We're heading to the unveiling of the recently rebranded Honey Chinese Toronto which I was recently invited to experience alongside fellow media and creators

"Honey: More Than Chinese has expanded its culinary focus beyond traditional Chinese cuisine, celebrating the diverse flavours, traditions, and stories from across Asia while remaining rooted in the heritage that first inspired Honey.

The new identity reflects a broader culinary journey, one shaped by recipes passed through generations and influenced by the destinations they travelled through. The result is a menu that explores the shared experiences connecting cultures beyond borders, offering guests a contemporary interpretation of Asia's rich and diverse food traditions."

A quick little Pride Month PSA...

"The term "ate" (often said as "you ate that" or "she ate and left no crumbs") originated directly from Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities, specifically from the underground ballroom and drag scenes in the early 2000s."

Now do me a favour and go tell every 2SLGBTQIA+ person you know and love how wonderful they are, ESPECIALLY this month, cause the world right now isn't always easy for us lately despite what people may think.

And when you can see they are feeling themselves inside and out? Clap your thumb and MIDDLE finger together in approval and support. The more you know babes... 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🤎 🖤 🤍 🩷 🩵 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

The Ninja Crispi® Pro 6-in-1 Countertop Glass Air Fryer will take all my recipes up a notch, and I can't wait to try all the different modes 🍽️
