So I don't usually do this, but I thought what the hey - a new year, a new type of blog post right?
I decided to recap my birthday (December 31st) in a series of images that you might have seen if you follow me in Instagram (@Jessundecided).
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect birthday spent with the love of my life. FYI - I'm not into those large intense NYE events and much rather prefer the amazing relaxing day/night I spent eating all my favourite foods, drinking all my favourite drinks, and seeing some New Years fireworks for the first time.
It started off with these delicious mini cakes from a little patisserie in Richmond Hill, Ontario called Ruelo, which of course I had to take a picture of because they were as photogenic as they were DEEElicious!
After a delicious lunch at my favourite local sushi restaurant Inatei , I headed downtown to One King West Hotel where I would be staying and celebrating the start of the new year! This hotel makes all my minimalist /history-lover dreams come true. (More about that soon!)
For anyone reading this that knows me … then you know that the obvious choice for dinner was of course at TERRONI - Adelaide ! It is by far one of my favourite italian food places in the city!
For the first time in my life (weird I know), I actually went to Nathan Philip Square to see the fireworks at midnight! I am really not a fan of crowds, but since we were in the area we decided to walk towards it and got to see it from a pretty close distance ! It was beautiful and thankfully the weather was just right to stand outside for that long :)
The next morning on our way back up north, we drove by Quantum Coffee Co. and saw that it was actually open! I was ecstatic because I was dying for a good cup-o-joe to start off the new year … and to wake my tired-self up. If you've been to Quantum, then you know that it is impossible to leave this minimal, beautifully-lit location without having a mini photo-shoot. So thank you Quantum, for being my first coffee-photo location of 2016!
Thanks for reading this little recap of my pretty relaxing day
