OH, HELLO!

Tara & Helisa met by happenstance over a love of coupons and saving money. Surviving solely on coffee, cuddles and post-it notes (and a bit of sassy humour) they can often be found enjoying all that beautiful British Columbia has to offer. Want to chat? Say hi! -- [email protected]

// you know it’s a good swag bag when it doesn’t even make it in the house before the fam starts digging through it! Last night we enjoyed the 4th sip & savour event with @hflvancouver & @wholefoodsbc and WOW….

I love that each event has a different assortment of delicious foods and drinks to try out, many of them plant based and from some of our fave brands! Each event has introduced our family to new favourites that we can easily find at our local Whole Foods.

>> swipe to see what was inside!

The next Sip & Savour date is already set to go so make sure to head over to @hflvancouver so you can be in the know for when tickets drop (they sell out FAST!)

What’s your fave goodie in the bag?!

🚗 VROOM //

Blue skies in our house calls for a drive with no destination. We may end up at a park, a friends house, the pool, who knows really? There's something to be said about piling into the car with good tunes playing and just enjoying the drive!

Our friends at @mazdacanada have us in the seat of a few vehicles this summer to try out to see what fits our family best and the CX-30 fits all *my* needs amazingly. This subcompact SUV is the perfect ride for someone who loves their hatch back (aka me) but also wants a bit higher of a ride (also me).

The top 3 things I loved about the CX-30:
🚗 Smooth, powerful ride. I live on the top of a mountain and the CX-30 was UP for the challenge. It's a speedy one.
🚗 Minimal distractions. The interior is designed in a cohesive way that limits visual distractions. No touch screens, but an easily navigated menu screen.
🚗 Fuel Efficiency. By using optimal distribution of torque and minimizing drivetrain energy loss, the CX-30 is arguably one of the most fuel efficient vehicles that wasn't a hybrid that I've driven. And let's be serious, if you're cruising with these gas prices... you need fuel efficiency.

What do you look for first when purchasing a new vehicle?

🌺 SPRING HAS SPRUNG C O N T E S T 🌺 Enter to win a $100 @urbanrootsgardenmarket gift card just in time to start planning your garden!

I love LOVE supporting local businesses and when I heard that Urban Roots Garden Market would be returning across from Playland, to say I was *excited* would be an understatement. I was even more thrilled to learn that this is just one out of 11 convenient pop-up gardening spots you can get your high quality garden additions.

Each Urban Roots Garden Market is armed with knowledgable (and passionate!) plant loving staff who want to make sure that your dream garden comes to fruition - and under budget. By skipping the middle man and buying direct from them, you can save money and support your local community and growers - and your local bee community.

What's one plant you ALWAYS have in the garden? For us, it's always lavender in every form.

Obligatory Cherry Blossom Photo 2022 //

When one of your besties has the *best * street for beautiful photos, you pop by and join the masses for a beautiful welcome to Spring. We saw some pretty interesting photo ops including a dog wearing pants, a ballerina, some cosplayers, and a few beautiful traditional outfits. Then I just showed up in a jean jacket sooo.....

Thanks @mumfection for being my photographer, hair fixer, and for always making me laugh!

Did you get a chance to enjoy the blossoms before the wind swept in?

REAL TALK // Did you know that every year in BC,

REAL TALK //

Did you know that every year in BC, approximately 200 women will get cervical cancer and 50 will die from the disease? That's a staggering number. Worldwide, cervical carcinoma is the third most common cancer in women. Chances are you, or someone you know, will be impacted by this disease at some point in their lives.

HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, with 3 out of 4 sexually active people infected in their lifetime. In women who have never been infected with HPV, the HPV vaccine prevents about 90% of cases of cervical cancer.

But here's the thing ---> a major misconception is that HPV is a "women's issue", however males are more likely to develop oropharyngeal cancer than females, and are much less likely to get vaccinated. With many people presenting as asymptomatic, they unknowingly spread it to their partner.

Let's change that.

The HPV vaccine is free for most people under the age of 19 in BC and the earlier you get vaccinated, the better. It provides almost 100% protection from nine HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 all while offering lasting protection even if you've been exposed to the virus. Visit www.before19.ca for more information on how to access the vaccine, facts and studies to find information to discuss with your family doctor.

It's your choice, let's make it an informed one

👋 hello new friends! It's been a minute since I introduced myself around here, hasn't it?

For fun, here's 6 random facts about me you may or may not know... other than the fact I am a total nerd:

👉 I type 130 words a minute with near perfect accuracy, I can type faster than most people can speak.
👉 I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and it impacts a lot of my day to day. Thanks to medication, it's managed in a way that makes my days much easier (take those pills friends!)
👉 I met my spouse in grade 3 when I came home for a play date with his sister, we weren't very nice to him as the little brother but he eventually forgave me.
👉 I'm deaf in one ear, I often leeeeeean when people are speaking to me so I can hear them properly.
👉 My eyes are the same colour as my hair, I either have hazel hair or strawberry blonde eyes, you decide.
👉 I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which causes my hair to grow at record speed, it's a running joke that I have mermaid hair with how fast it grows. PCOS also impacts a lot of other things in my life, but that's a topic for another day!

Share a random fact about yourself with me? I'd love to get to know you too!

✈️ I haven't travelled in awhile, but thanks to @flyovercanadavancouver my fam and I were able to visit Iceland and still be home in time for dinner!

Running now until April 18th, Legendary Iceland offers a brilliant unique look at landscapes and lore that surround this beautiful country. Included with your ticket is a new pre-show that explores the impact that nature, time and humankind have had on shaping the island.

Our family has experienced nearly every Flyover flight and this was voted as one of our favourites. Slightly more "speedy" than other rides we found ourselves enthralled at every swoop and turn. My favourite is listening to the gasps and squeals of other riders experiencing it for the first time, it's truly something that needs to be on every bucket list!

Take advantage of the double feature discount and follow your Legendary Iceland tour with a second flight over Canada and don't forget that Monday to Friday before 2pm Kids Ride Free with the purchase of an adult ticket + get a cookie so.... field trip?

Have you experienced Flyover Canada yet?
