As we navigate our way through the ever-changing pandemic, we remain grateful for the healthcare and essential frontline workers. Another thing we’re really grateful for? The hot weather that has allowed us to participate in physically-distanced, small gatherings outside! And with the changing of another season usually means a refresh of our wardrobes.

A collection of chic & subtle Canada Day inspired looks to get you in the celebratory spirit... . FOR HER 1. A trendy #Essie mani you can still do from the comfort of your own home! Rexall carries a wide range of super festive colours 2.

As difficult as physical distancing may be, now is the perfect time to focus on a good self-care routine! So we've partnered with the team at Radford Studio to curate some at home hair masks and easy (but fabulous) styling tutorials to help you switch things up... ..... SKIN CARE Radford’s signature 24K Gold Hydrogel masks are back in stock & better than ever! Victoria was particularly interested in testing potential ingredients for their regeneration capacity, which is how we identified Carob seed to boost structural protein production, and “sea moss” to help with balancing the skin. It’s safe, natural, healing and has been used for beauty nutritional and well-being for centuries. Infused with gold, their 24K Gold Hydrogel Masks instantly cool, soothe and nourish the skin.

UpMarket: The Love Edit, open at The Oval until February 16, is your one-stop shop for seasonal treats and stylish gifts for your loved ones—including your best friends. After all, this month is not just about romantic love; Galentine’s Day on February 13 is the perfect occasion to celebrate all the amazing women and friendships in your life.

In an effort to connect with our loved ones during a period when perhaps connection is needed most, food and wine can help transport virtual moments into everlasting memories. So this week on #YVatHome, Vintage Conservatory presents Classic Italian Night, a 3-course Italian inspired meal and pairing even the self-taught chefs can tackle! When thinking of wines to pair with dishes, one of the age-old rules to follow is "what grows together, goes together".

Taste of the Beach: Albariño and Fish Tacos The best wines play up the fresh flavours and cool the palate from spicy jalapeños or drizzles of salsa. Albariño, whose fruity flavours offer the impression of sweetness in a dry wine, makes the best accompaniment for this type of taco. There are two main regions where Albariño can be widely found: Rías Baixas in Spain, and Vinho Verde in Portugal (where it’s called Alvarinho).
