Coffee out of a perfect, tiny cup with no handle, allowing the heat to warm my hand, refilling often. I love collecting Madeline’s one-of-a-kind handmade/handpainted objects.

Having a customized guitar strap is such a luxury for a folk-country musician! Nathan adorned mine with fireweed and trillium, the flowers of the Yukon and Ontario.

This is the nicest treat to roll on my temples when feeling anxious or stressed.

It’s always a big lesson in self-restraint when I’m lucky enough to come across a box of these…

This may be one of my most important tools. An absolute necessity in off-grid Yukon winters and incredibly helpful while night crafting!

I’ve been diving into the artwork of countless independent tarot decks and this one is a joy to read with.

Between bucket baths, this has become my favourite natural deodorant.

Cutting kindling and splitting firewood is a daily task for me. My small forest axe also comes along on camping adventures and road trips.

Dahlia's are my favorite flowers for how regal they look. They take my breath away with how stunning they are; specifically the peaches and cream type.

When I moved into my house every room was painted blush pink. At first it was unsettling and then I began to fall in love with everything pink. It became obsessive and these hot pink clothes are a dream!

I feel like eating salads is a vehicle for eating a ton of vegetables which I'm trying to be better at! Mandy's makes the best!

I listen to Marc's podcast religiously twice a week. His anxiety and neurosis makes me laugh so much and he always has amazing guests on. I was lucky enough to see him for the 'Just for Laughs' comedy special in Toronto this summer.

My dog Lulu is 15.5 years old and is so sweet. She is still so damn cute. She sleeps 22 hours a day but when she is awake she has everyone's attention.

I try to emulate how soft she achieves the application of acrylics. I use inks in my paintings to achieve the flowing quality of the materials like Helen. I'm in awe of her.

All summer long I ride my Regal bike all over the city. I pack snacks and find a sunny park to look at the clouds. It brings me so much joy when I'm not in my studio.

I feel like picnic baskets are right up there with the song " Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. They are impossible not to like.

Never has a book stayed with me as long as this one has. It's simply beautiful. The writing, the truth, the story. It's perfect.

Canned sunshine!

My go-to spot on Ossington Ave in Toronto where my office is. I've been a regular customer here for years and years. And now, Hearts Tavern and Bar, their sister restaurant opened near where I grew up in a town of my namesake: Kimberley. And has just been voted one of Canada's Best New Restaurants. My sister is part of the team there, and my friend Courtney Stebbings of Genuwine Imports does the wine too, so it's extra special.

This is a beautiful boidiverse wine from Sicily. You'll enjoy every glass. But why I love this one is because of the winemaker's story. Arianna Occhipinti began as a winemaker at age 22 and now she is one of the largest producers of high quality biodynamic wines in the world. A lot against her: a male dominated space, a lesser-beloved region historically, and a fickle crop. But she built this beautiful winery and brand internationally. Very impressive.

I always look for it as an ingredient. But Le Labo sells a beautiful bottle of it: Bergamot 22. It is indulgently priced so a cute hack is to purchase the tester and save it for special occasions.

I've been a subscriber for years and years because the stories and writing is as good as it gets. It's my delicious little escape.

When I had my son earlier this year, I started putting this song on to dance to with him. I just love how it makes me feel holding him and swaying to it. I think I'll remember that feeling forever. Plus, on the best of record, the song moves right into the beautiful "Bring it on Home to me."

I visited this bookstore again earlier this year. It has everything you could ever want when it comes to reference books, art collections, and general inspiration. It's an impressive collection and I never leave without something heavy for my suitcase. Shout out to "Serviette", a Toronto publication, which was on the shelves this fall. Felt proud to see a local piece.

My heroes. And Eric Mercer, my partner, has tremendous support.

Back home in Brazil of course

Which I def can not break down otherwise I will be here until tomorrow

My go-to shoe of choice when I want the comfy yet stylish look.

I’m big on skincare and haven’t been happier since discovering January Labs. I wish I could feature all of their products, but the one I can’t be without is their moisturizers!

I have a proud mug collection going and this one has been a fun addition. It never ceases to make me happy and inspired when sipping my morning coffee.

I’m always on the hunt for amazing pencils and these may have officially done it for me.

My everyday bag.

I love the craftsmanship that goes into each of her pieces.

My favorite hike to clear my head, with the perk of a hot spring dip at the end of it.

A very important tool for me in my craft. The possibilities are endless on this little device!

I am obsessed with this podcast! They tell a juicy and funny piece of gossip every week. The stories make me laugh out loud and I have told everyone I know to listen so they can be obbsssed too.

I LOVE these calendars. Might be old school of me but it's so nice to see the month ahead written out on a giant piece of paper. It keeps the studio organized with my employees and it's so cute on the wall!

Really, I'm obsessed with my dog Rover. I also enjoy buying him clothes that even humans should wear! Haha! This is the one I have been eyeing lately.

I follow the author on IG and this is his newest book. As someone that is always trying to improve and work on my mental health, this book is like little nuggets of wisdom on each page. It's written in poem format, so they are easy to digest and always give me something to ponder about.

This movie was everything. I really resonated with the intergenerational trauma that the main characters went through in the movie. The fashion and costumes were also amazing!

This store is a literal dream. Each corner is filled with the most amazing products and the store itself is so fun and whimsical. Absolutely obsessed with the design!

I purchased a house in Porto, Portugal! I love this city so much and I can't wait to start this new adventure!

I got into it during the pandemic, I love it. You learn so much on Tiktok! It's not just people dancing, I swear!

The most entrancing technicolor handblown glass made by a friend's dad in Ontario. Possibly the only thing I 'collect', they bring me a lot of joy when they catch the light (I could photograph them ad infinitum).

Fig Leaf Perfume

Apparently if you don’t back up digital files in at least 3 places they don’t exist. A cloud backup subscription that I’ll someday pair with a RAID system to make sure my personal & client archives are backed up for um..centuries to come?

They're extremely tiny - 2mm, thinner than human hair. They're born inside a fig and only live long enough to fly over and pollinate a different fig by crawling inside - except they lose their wings on entry and never re-emerge from their pulpy graves. But it's nice, the fruit metabolizes the protein and it's debatable whether you're actually eating a wisp of a wasp. Don't freak out - just click on the fig and read the lovely newsletter by Melissa Montenari.

Wonderful Persian cold soup.

A newly established program for BIPOC photographers to access free mentorship; I’ve participated as a mentor and think it’s a pretty great set up.

(Sorry earth).

Pan seared broccoli with lightly charred edges, sauté in a glossy sweet, spicy, garlicky sauce. I’ll have this over meat any day. *chef’s kiss*

Try it and you’ll love it.

Who doesn’t like a clean bum?

My body is often in pain because of my work. Acupuncture and cupping have offered me so much relief.

Great for neck pain and headache.

Great for oil control and to improve overall skin texture.

Prevents hair breakage and is more gentle on the skin.

Impeccable craftsmanship. Very versatile design. Goes with most outfits.

I love photography and I have a pretty amazing digital camera. But recently I got into 35mm film photography. I carry this camera with me everywhere. It’s as old as me and shoots some really awesome photos.

I have been experimenting with a lot of 35mm film. I'm new to this medium. Just in the last month I have acquired a whole shoebox full of different types of film. I still have many more to try out, but Lomography Metropolis is one of my favourites right now.

Like many of us, I don’t think I could live without my phone. It's a camera, a computer and it makes phone calls too. 13 is my lucky number, so I won’t be upgrading to the new iPhone 14 Pro anytime soon.

In the colder months I almost exclusively wear Blundstones. I own a variety of them in many colours. They even have a vegan model which I want.

I have long hours on the keyboard. This helps me by allowing me to cutdown on my sitting.

She is a beauty. I bought this one after my last one got stolen.

I’m going to name my 3 favorite rides in Toronto. There is a bit of overlap in all 3 of these groups and I love all 3 equally. They all put smiles on the faces of people on the street as we ride by with music, lights and bubbles. @torontocruisers, @neonriders.to and Smile Parade run by @flowerbikefairy

I don’t know if this is a single person or a team. But Shueido refurbishes vintage cameras and repaints them to become one of a kind. These look awesome, I hope to own one of these one day.

This is the only gouache I trust and love. I can’t imagine painting without it. The colours are so crisp and clean and stunning.

Monika’s candles are naturally made and so creative! I almost feel bad burning them!

I am obsessed with espresso tonics (sounds weird but I promise they are amazing) and Fika does the best one in Toronto for sure.

This scent has been my favourite for a couple of years now. I have the travel size and get refills often.

Grape Witches has some of the best select natural wines in Toronto! Their knowledge is top tier and their back patio in the summer-time is one of my favourite places to be.

I would simply not function without my daily planner. I am a chronic list-maker and this organizes my chaotic life in a way I can understand and stay on top of.

Sugo at Landsdowne and Bloor has been one of my favourite spots for a plate of classic red sauce. Literally any time of day I crave this.

I have dry skin so a splash of this on my face before going out really helps keep my face glowing and hydrated.

My analemma water wand to restructure my water.

Pink hair is not a hairstyle, it’s a lifestyle. And it’s colour therapy to the masses.

Anything from Spanish designer, CeliaB.

My grounding mat that I sleep on. Earthing is a real thing.

I love it because it makes the white of my eyes look bright & why would someone with pink hair not have coloured lashes? It’s a daily must wear for me!

Water colours from Perla de Mar from Mexico

I love glitter & I keep my nails very short because I use my hands all the time! Also! You can’t mess up glitter polish-if it smudges-nobody notices! It’s just shimmering!

I love Aura Soma products in general - but the Quintessence is the perfect size to keep on me always. I use it to clear my aura, prepare for meditation, a meet, ground myself and re-calibrate after a long day or travel!

My boyfriend Allan runs Rufus drum shop (check them out!) and my favourite drum company is Ludwig.

I wish I could say my favourite hand cream was something all natural and pretentious but honestly it's Aveeno for sensitive skin. For anyone with eczema it works :)

I like Dr. Segal's compression socks.

My favourite tennis brand is Head.

For felt pens I like the fat double ended ones. There are a few brands I like, and I always go to Opus on Granville island.

Tatsu Sushi on Commercial Drive was my favourite in Vancouver. I think it's recently been replaced- so Sad!

Healing goodness - magic potion for your skin! All hand poured with love and transformational powers.

South Asian owned and run, ethically sourced fair trade spices. Beautiful and potent!

Raddest Coffee and Skate shop owned by the best mother-daughter duo. I go in for their incredible matcha but stay for my heart to hearts with Kris.

Outstanding film curation with a massive library of beautiful international films.

Podcast by brilliant writers Sarah Hagi and Scaachi Koul where they share their findings of scams and scam artists! Fascinating and hilarious!
