Sea-ing Life at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
Recently, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada open its doors in Toronto to the public and we couldn't wait to check it out.

About Harissa Spice

What’s for Breakfast? Making My Morning Rounds.

We are asking big questions right now. Questions like: how do we want to live, how do we want to work, what are the real priorities for our life and family? It's so easy to rattle off phrases like, "My kids and marriage come first!" but then live as though the opposite is true, giving all your best … [Read more...]
My Time In Paradise – Paradise Island, That Is
My time at The Cove in Atlantis, Paradise Island, was simply spectacular. The hotel is truly beautiful, the service top notch and the weather, perfection-you know, oven door hot-so hot that it felt like someone had opened the oven door every time I walked outside.
