** News in a Nutshell ** 1. Have to start off with the sad news of the missing #submarine. Unfortunately it looks like the sub has likely imploded on itself. There are updates that suggest there were concerns with this sub before it went out for this trip - and some say this kind of trip shouldn’t be a tourist attraction. 2. In better news - #kourtneykardashian and #travisbarker have announced their #pregnancy! Big Congrats to these two beautiful people! 👏👏👏 3. In other pregnancy news - #RyanReynolds and #BlakeLively are pregnant with their fourth child! Congrats to this wonderful couple as well! 👏👏👏 4. Then in other sad news - #BebeRexha was hit in the face with a cellphone while performing and has a massive bruise on her face as a result. The person who did this is being charged! 5. Lastly, we have been seeing news of these #mormoncrickets taking over 6 counties in #Nevada - and the views are quite insane! Can you imagine living with that? Thanks for joining me for another fun episode! See you next week!

Time for!!! News in a Nutshell! 1. #taylorlautner is getting negative feedback and comments about his looks lately. Seriously have no idea why - and not sure what people are talking about but it was bad enough that he had to make a formal post about it! 2. #Starbucks is trying to reduce their water usage by 50% over the next few years and with 75% of of their sales coming from their iced beverages - they saw an opportunity to change the way that they use ice! They will be launching egg nuggets which are supposed to help reduce water usage overall! Interesting! 3. We’ve been seeing a lot in airplane news lately - but here is a new one! Can you imagine seeing a #tarantula on a flight! Omg! I would freak out! 4. Then we close it off with the host of #wheeloffortune Pat - deciding to retire! We wish him all the best! #news #newsinanutshell #twighlight #vampires #spiders #airplanes #airplanefears #patsajak

This month is all about being loud and proud! It’s time to step into life with #Pride! 👟🌈 We had the opportunity to team up with @adidasca this month and help kick off #PrideMonth in the most epic way! Nothing better than feeling loved and supported and boy did we feel that at their latest dance class - held in their incredible @cftoeatoncentre #Adidas store! Getting into action this summer has been so much fun and I think @alexanderaketa & @ok_kovtun would agree with me when I say that this was the perfect way to elevate our #fit game! Thank you for having us and for giving us yet another reason to feel great every single day! #adidas #pride #pridemonth🌈 #loudandproud #life #stepintopride #lgbtq🌈 #eatoncentre

We all have our doubts and fears - but the best way to overcome them is to look in the mirror - and literally face them dead on! Once you acknowledge your fears and accept them - then you can move forward with confidence and pride! You’ll then even start to inspire others to do the same! I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with @cfshopsdonmills this month to attend and highlight their incredible #free fitness series - and let me tell you - it has been absolutely fabulous! Getting #fit has never been more fun! The BEST way to spend my Saturday mornings for sure! 💪🏃‍♀️💦 Their fitness series runs all week long from May 29th - September 1st!! 🙌 Schedule here: Mondays Yoga with Physiomobility : 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM Wednesdays HIIT workout with F45 : 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM Fridays Zumba with Catherine : 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM Saturdays Mobility and Strength Training with Physiomobility : 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM Sundays HIIT workout with F45 : 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM #meetyouthere #cadillacfairview #cfshopsatdonmillsfitnessseries #toronto #canada #fit #fitnessmotivation #fitfam #shopsatdomills #outdoorfitness

It’s #pridemonth which means we’re talking LOVE! Love is love and that is really what this is all about! It’s a month full of colour and it’s there to remind us that we are all here on this earth to support eachother through this human journey - we call life! We come from different backgrounds and cultures and we all have different beliefs - but the idea here is to celebrate our differences and love eachother for who we are! We kicked off this incredible month with one of our fun #ChicDining events and brought together a group of lovely people to bring this to life! Thank you @irene.toronto @woodmanws @mezzacoronawine @bodegasberonia @pureblisscoconutwater @baskinrobbinscanada @esteelaudercanada @hasbro @playdoh @naturederma.ca for making this possible! And thank you @alexanderaketa @ok_kovtun for being the best team ever! This took a lot of team effort for sure! And of course to decompress from a full of week of excitement - we headed to @thetoxtoronto to try out their facials! They honestly have the most incredible services and the experience is always a super relaxing one - and all of that was true this time around as well! There are a few steps to the process and it’s about a 45 min facial that also leads into an upper arm massage - which leaves you feeling 100% relaxed! Thank you everyone for your love and for all of your support - it means the world to us - truthfully! #pride #rainbow #colour #loveislove #people #celebrate #toxtoronto #massage #facial #guasha #detox #weekend

Another **News In A Nutshell Episode ** 1. Kicking it off with some interesting updates about Aritzia and the Art that’s being featured in their windows!

Couldn’t imagine being anywhere near that - just hoping everyone made it out okay! 3. And in #Yeezy news - #KanyeWest is apparently opening up his own store right next to - you guessed it - an Adidas store! 4. Then in Apple News - #Apple has launched their #AppleVisionPro this week!

You guys already know that I had a blast at @theofficeexp and was just so impressed by how incredibly accurate the whole set was - I really felt like one of the characters on the show! The best part is that I had a chance to come back and re-create some of my favourite scenes! There is something so cool about sitting at Dwight’s desk and staring at his Bobblehead - just replaying all of those hilarious moments over in my head! Then walking into Michael’s office and just laughing out loud because all of those iconic Michael moments start re-playing in my head too! This was so much fun and I hope you guys have as much fun watching this - as I had creating it!

You guys know that I’m all about self-care and making sure that my skin gets the attention it needs! I’ve stopped by to visit my friends at Nature Derma to try out their Sofwave Treatment! So the Sofwave Treatment is something that is new to me - but has now officially made it to the top of my list as a key treatment for life! It’s clinically proven to remodel collagen, which improves facial lines and wrinkles, and lifts the eyebrows and neck area - and does all this by comfortably delivering Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology, with minimal down time! It only takes about 30-45 minutes and the results just keep getting better as time goes on! If you’re wondering how often I will be getting this treatment done - about once a year! Throughout the treatment there is a little bit of a pinch as you target some key areas of the face - but that quickly resolves and then you are left with a wonderful cooling mask that takes care of any residual redness resulting from the treatment - and in my case I saw results immediately! #Sofwave #Skincare #Selfcare #TeenageYears #Teenager #Growth #Acne #SelfImprovement #Antiwrinkle #ageless #reverseaging #collagen #Collagenboost #naturederma #chicsophistic #femaleinfluencer #BeautyInfluencer #finelines #neck #eyelift #lifteye

Rounding up this week with these fun experiences! Had a chance to drop by @tipsnailbar for a super fun collab with our friends from @timhortons! They have launched 5 new beverages and we were lucky enough to get a taste of all of them while getting our nails done! 💅To tip (I mean ‘top’ it all off) - they offered up designs that matched up with all of their refreshing options!🥤I chose to move ahead with the #OrangeGingerSparklingQuencher look and walked away feeling refreshed and sparkly! 🧡 Thank you @tipsnailbar @timhortons and @craftpr for having us! We had a blast! #TimsDoesCold You can head to Tips Nail Bar for the next month and get those same designs! Next we moved onto a fun dinner experience with our friend @hungry.jo who rounded up an incredible evening for us at @eighteen30toronto! 🍝🥗🍷🍹The space is beautiful on the inside and just as gorgeous on the outside! The meals served up were delish and the drinks definitely did not disappoint! Best part of the whole experience was the company - @hungry.jo, @alexanderaketa, @ok_kovtun + our little #Koffee 🐶 and of course that back drop of the #CNTower! 🗼🤍🌆🍁🇨🇦 What a beautiful week! Thanks to all everyone who made it an unforgettable one! 🙏 #TimHortons #Quenchers #NewBeverages #Oreo #OreoBeverages #Coffee #Restaurant #TorontoRestaurant #CNTower #Toronto #Canada #Meals #Life
