This winter was a rough one, but the Grahams know how to make an adventure wherever we are - especially at one of our favourite places - the cottage (or as Randall calls it - Randall Land).

I’m a soup person. Like major soup person. From November to March it’s my most favourite thing to eat and make. Soup has endless possibilities and is such a great way to get in your veggies.

So I asked myself why this was something I felt so innately comfortable with. Here’s where I landed.

When we bought our house 4 years ago it had been completely renovated which meant everything was fresh and white. A blank canvas. We started decorating and adding our personal touches, but still kept our neutral walls. I love the aesthetic of a crisp white home, but after 4 years I got a little bored and antsy to make some changes; our main-floor powder room seemed like the best place to start.

I love to joke with my Ma that one of my greatest joys as a parent is to give Bea all the things I wanted as a kid. And I assure you I’m joking, because I did have the best childhood with the best parents.

People often ask how I prep or get ready ahead of big work events. Aside from the studying, watching, reading, researching, I have a few rituals to get myself looking and feeling good in my skin.
I take good care of my skin year round, but ahead of a major red carpet, I ramp things up. Some of my favourite med-spa treatments are SilkPeel and Forma.
