I tried out Fresh Prep Vancouver because I can’t cook.

I’m a few years away from being 30 and my cooking skills are as embarrassing as my ability to put staples in my work stapler (it took three people to figure it out!) When it comes to deciding what kind of meal to cook, I’m stumped on where to begin. Should I try baking a steak? Frying a vegetable?

And that’s why I appreciate things like Fresh Prep, a meal delivery service based in Vancouver. It’s easier being told what to cook rather than me sifting through the internet deciding what’s easy/simple/and not expensive. (Vegetables are getting pricier these days, right?!) [Read more…]

giovane cafe + eatery + market

I have to admit something….I’ve been a bit inactive lately due to the fact I was practicing for Harry Potter trivia night – which went down yesterday and ahhh….the adrenaline of answering Harry Potter questions…it was pure bliss!!

Working in downtown Vancouver, I’ve become quite the food expert around my office and downtown. Eating out everywhere is TOO easy and it’s a sin. One of the places I frequent a bit is at giovane cafe + eatery + market, a cafe that is part of Fairmont Pacific Rim and a fairly convenient place to grab a delicious bite of food. I don’t want to go in to too much detail, but I recently tweeted to Fairmont Pacific Rim regarding an order I made as something was missing. Not only did they reply back and apologized, they also invited me back for lunch. I’ve always been a fan of this cafe and hopefully people in Vancouver will be fans too! [Read more…]

Celebrate Mid Autumn Festival with TWG Tea Salon & Boutique: Lotus Jade Tea Mooncake Collection

Thank you guys for all the love in my previous post!! I wish I could give a mooncake to each and every one of you!

When I go savage on mooncakes at home, I just cut myself a slice with a plastic butter knife, and sit on my kitchen chair, wondering how much will I regret if I finish off the mooncake I started. When I went to TWG Tea Canada for a media tasting of their Lotus Jade Tea Mooncake Collection, I definitely felt so much classier trying out a different variety of mooncakes.

Hot AND Iced Tea on the go?! David’s Tea Tea Press!

One of the signature items I carry in my purse is my David’s Tea teal Timolino and I’ve been using that since 2013. Last Christmas my friend’s and I were trying to use a timer to take a group photo and my thermos was left on the table and appeared in the photos. #whitneysthermos became a hashtag. So when I received David’s Tea new Tea Press, which launched on August 15th, I was so stoked to have an upgrade!!

CANADA 150| TWG Tea Jubilee Tea Set

If you haven’t heard, Canada is turning freakin’ 150 years old this year. I’m almost 1/5 of that age. Needless to say, there’s a LOT going on in Vancouver now for Canada 150 (but I’m also just really excited for the long weekend.) There’s also a lot of specialty items created for Canada’s 150th birthday; TWG Tea Canada is currently serving the Jubilee Tea Set and you don’t need to be Canadian to enjoy the flavours in this!
