Last night’s dinner @nobutoronto celebrating @karlagillis was magical ✨ I have to thank @mitch_krystantos for introducing me to Karla 10+ years ago because my life and my laughter has never been the same. I’m actually laughing out loud writing this because anytime I’m with Karla, we laugh til our bellies hurt 😂😂😂
You’ll never meet anyone quite like her, and the universe wouldn’t know what to do with two Karla’s on the planet 🌎 She’s got a heart bigger and softer than she shows at times, an edge that’s sharper than a knife, a determination that’s impossible to stop, and a laugh you can hear down three football fields! Not only am I honoured to share space with this woman, every man and woman at that table is someone whose energy aligns🔥 and that’s the type of people she surrounds herself with.
Babe, I fucking love you, and I can’t wait to be laughing til we pee in our pants at 99 years old and they kick us out of whatever old age home we’re crashing and making a ruckus in.
I am beyond excited to see how 2026 unfolds as we bury that damn snake 🐍and get on the fastest f*^%#ing horse 🐎 there is and impact women in peri-menopause to live a life of laughter, light, and love 💕

Goals aren’t something you set once, conquer and everything stops.

You set a goal.
You work toward it.
Sometimes you hit it. Sometimes you don’t.

Both outcomes matter.

Hitting a goal builds confidence and momentum.

Missing one builds awareness—about your timing, your systems, your priorities, or your expectations.

Neither is failure unless you stop paying attention.

The real mistake is treating goals like finish lines instead of checkpoints. To be honest, the finish lines never really arrive. They move and change and you’ll have to do the same.

Set goals.
Chase them honestly.
Review the outcome without emotion.
Adjust the target.
Repeat.

That cycle—over and over—is how growth actually happens, so enjoy the ride.

The difference between showing interest and being creepy at networking events?

One makes it about you. One makes it about them.

Be interested, not interesting.
Ask better questions. Actually listen.
Leave them better than you found them.

That’s the CURIOUS Chemistry Method™️ ✨

Earlier this evening, I had the incredible pleasure of stepping onto the red carpet for the premiere of CBC’s newest original series “Locals Welcome” and let me share with you, this show is such a gift to Canada.

Hosted by Canada’s most trusted food writer, @suresh, “Locals Welcome” is a celebration of food, culture, and community. It shines a light on immigrant stories told through the strip malls, food courts, takeout spots, and hidden gems where traditions are not just preserved, but shared and savored. Along the way, you’ll also see some familiar faces like @mattymatheson, @glampornel, and @scarboroughspots joining the journey.

As a proud Filipina Canadian, this series hit me right in the heart. For me, food is never “just food.” It’s how we share love, pass down history, heal the soul, and invite others into our lives. Some of the most transformative moments of my life happened around sharing food with strangers who became friends and mostly with people I love ❤️

That’s what makes “Locals Welcome” so special. It reminds us that the simplest meals in the most ordinary places can carry the greatest meaning.

📸 Here are some photos and #BTS clips from the red carpet with the amazing hosts, producers, and Toronto celebrities who poured their hearts into this project.

🍴 If food has ever connected you to your roots or brought you closer to someone new (like on a date) this show will speak straight to your soul, and stomach!

✨ Tune in to “Locals Welcome” on CBC and stream the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj3iVLyufYc

Let’s celebrate Canada’s rich diversity one plate at a time. 💛 Tune in Sunday on @cbc

I see You
I feel You
I am You ... 🤍

✨Often felt or feel paralyzed .. when my nervous system starts to scream. I don't know if it will ever go away.... I do know that I recognize it quicker, I do know I have tools to help me ground & come back to me & to the ones I love and want to give my attention to.

✨The kettlebell was and is part of my toolkit, it the weight that holds comfort, the rhythm that allows me to breathe and to center my focus.

✨The KBStronger Method is about moving with Intention so you can Live with Intention!

If you’re ready to find your tools, your rhythm, your strength — I’m here to guide you. 🖤

👉 Join me inside the 12-Week Start Strong Program.
Let’s get stronger, together.

🖤 All black, all confidence. When your outfit speaks power, your mind follows suit. Wearing @zasuwaofficial on top and @venaoswimwear on the bottom. Now is the perfect time to embrace both body and mind at full strength! 📸: @dmfotografic location: #sundazecharterslkn #creativemodelconnections & captured by the amazing #dmfphotographic #MindBodyStyle #StyleBySheena

I took my cousin @bubblygen17 for her first luxury mani/pedi in Canada @sixthsensespa.vaughan 💅 I always enjoy my "me time" or "girl time" at the Vaughn & King street locations @sixthsensespa.king
The spa locations are fully licensed so you can enjoy some cocktails, coffee or tea to relax and enjoy your services.
Special thanks to @1059robpagetto for introducing me to two of my favourite mani/pedi locations in the city!
My friends, family and clients always have the best time, and a perfect manicure or pedicure ✨✨✨
If you're in Vaughn, say hello to "Hoang" one of the owners who always greets me with a smile, and ensures 5-Star service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Never be afraid to stand alone, if you’re with someone (or people) who doesn’t appreciate you.
It takes courage, strength and resilience to walk away from anything that doesn’t add value.
