Originally to be a wine & cheese reception, due to scheduling conflicts it became an impromptu lunch instead and I had the privilege of being extended an invitation to the lovely intimate meal.

Recap: Body Reset Diet with Harley Pasternak

Recap: Melissa de la Cruz on the Blue Bloods Tour
Well, my lovely Sunday actually began before the book signing with an amazing opportunity to be one of four bloggers to get a one-on-one interview with Melissa!

Recap + Swoon-Worthy Sundays: Libba Bray
This is the first-ever recap and Swoon-Worthy Sundays mash-up! Why? Because I wanted to feature the delightful Libba Bray as this week’s feature but realized that everything I would want to write about would also involve recapping yesterday’s event at Indigo Yorkdale – so I thought I’d do both in one post! It was while [...]
