During the warm months of the year, I like to go for walks with my loved ones—along the seawall, in forested parks, and on hiking trails—but when it starts to get colder out, I like to have them close-by as we enjoy a meal together. Rather than go out to a crowded restaurant, I prefer to put something together in my home and relax while I enjoy the company of my friends and family. To me, fall is all about relaxing, enjoying the abundance of nature, and celebrating with gratitude for the loved ...

Spring Colour Trend from Pantone: Margarita—a Soft, Pale Green
I've been seeing a lot of this shade around lately—one of my favourite shades of green, called Margarita by Pantone, which is finally popping up from the ground this year. As the season progresses, I'm sure the green grass and leaves will be turning their usual darker green shades, but for now I'm happy for the hint of green everywhere.
