Two Weeks of Highlights in Pictures

This week I'm sharing two weeks in photos - since I missed last week...

After a long morning of writing - rewarded myself with afternoon tea at Shangri-La Hotel.

You are never too "mature" - to enjoy a little Cadbury Easter chocolate egg

Nurtured my inner child!!

Dolce and Gabbana have been busy chewing the feet of Dolce's new toy.

Picked up some  Blackbird Baking Co - sourdough bread at Pusateri's

this bread has certainly become one of my favs!!

Enjoyed a country style breakfast at a local diner near our country home.

Some furbaby fun times at the country home. 

After updating my weekly planner, settled on the sofa - with hot chocolate -  furbabies  for some reading. Ladies if you haven't read Spinster by Kate Bolick - I highly recommend you check it out. 

Popped into Holts Cafe for lunch between appointments - and was treated to their home baked (on premises) scones with strawberry/raspberry schnapps jam ... seriously yummy.

Holts Cafe is now serving afternoon tea - will definitely be checking them out soon for tea!

Cake for breakfast - well YES please! perks of being in city and close to Greek Town

Yummy Greek pastries are minutes away!! 

Woke up to lots of commotion on my street  - 4-5 fire trucks, police etc.. thankfully it was a FALSE alarm.. but certainly added some noise to our normally quiet street.

Decided on some amazing food to "pair" with my glass of bubbly ... 

Great Winterlicious menu at Park Hyatt Toronto - Annona restaurant

I enjoyed the Sauteed Crab Cakes: aged Balsamic reduction, micro Greens; Surf and Turf: Grilled 4 oz Beef Medallion, Shirmp & Scallop, Peppercorn Jus, Red Pepper Beurre Blanc, Lobster Mash, Roasted Vegetables; Spiced Wine Poached Pear: Dark Chocolate Feuilletine Crumble, Caramel Sauce, Honey Mascarpone.

Happy Saturday lovelies, the weather in Toronto has been a cold one, thankfully Mother Nature has spared us the snow (for the time being). I've discovered this past week, with a little Buckley's and a positive attitude you can get through a busy week.

Looking Back at the past couple of weeks...

Life is not always perfect and sometimes it may give us more grey days than colourful ones. It is during this time that we should remind our self of all the things we are grateful for. Here are something I have been up to and am grateful for these past couple of weeks.

Took myself out for a date ... 
did some brain storming for my next book.

I am GRATEFUL for remembering to eat healthy and still indulging in some treats ...

Pampered myself with flowers, pedi and chocolates too!!!

I am GRATEFUL For friendships ... 

Planning an adventure with Elizabeth, unexpected visit from Lois with my fav almond croissants - just in time for tea, and an outing with Fani that brighten a gloomy rainy day. 

At the change of seasons I like to sit down and take some time to reflect on the various areas that make up my life.This helps me to see what areas I'm happy with and which ones may require some extra attention. I like to create a soothing environment by lighting a candle, turning on soft music and pouring myself a cup of tea (or flute of bubbly). Once the mood is set I pull out my Wheel of Life worksheet*, intention/goal setting sheet and my favourite writing pen. 

*pop on over to my website where I'm sharing printable versions of these worksheets. (click here)

What are you THANKFUL for this week?

The Week in Photos & "PEP TALK" Lipstick Winner

Happy Friday my High Heeled Life lovelies!! Have you been enjoying the fabulous sunshine filled days we have been blessed with? And the warmer temperatures too.

The week started off with International Women's Day on March 8th. Mr. G surprised me with mimosa flowers and a beautiful card that read "When I think of you, I am Inspired".  The custom of giving the mimosa flower can be traced back to Italy around 1946. The flowers were intended to be given as a sign of respect and appreciation for women. 

I had a fabulous girls afternoon with a new friend. We enjoyed afternoon tea at Windsor Arms and a trip to Hermes in Yorkville! One is never too old to make new friends.

 The sunshine and warmer days - were a perfect excuse to escape from the HHL home office and head to Tasaa tea shop on the Danforth!

 Dolce and Gabbana had a long overdue trip to the groomers. I always chuckle at how different Dolce looks - and little Gabbana who doesn't look much different afterwards.

And sometimes ... Mac N Cheese from Pusateri's is a perfect start to a day. Yup, that's how I roll sometimes...

Thank you to everyone who entered the Hayley Elsaesser for MYNC in support of Dress for Success Give-away!! And special and extra thank you for your support and sharing about it - as it helps to bring awareness to a fabulous organization that supports and helps women move forward in life! If you would like to see the post about the Give-away and photos from the lipstick launch at MYNC click here.

AND THE WINNER IS ....

Susan L.
