Spending a week in October in Canmore, surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains. What are some of your favourites sites and hikes in the Rockies?

Pictured here are: 1 & 2: Grassi Lakes, Canmore
3&4: McGillvray Creek just south of Canmore
5: Heart Creek Trail
6: dt Canmore
7: Bow Valley Trail
8&9: Prairie View Trail

As some know, these trips are the inspiration behind new and existing candle scents and I have a list of scents I am itching to launch after this trip. However, rocky mountain juniper remains one of my favourites and the natural beauty of that scent is everywhere on these hikes ❤️

After an amazing east coast road trip this summer, this scent brings me back to every sunrise, beautiful hike, and sunset. May we always be chasing the sun.

One of my favourite places to visit is Niagara Falls and I tend to make a trip out of restock days.

Last week I visited the Niagara Power Station Museum and Tunnel and would highly recommend this as a stop on any Niagara trip! Not only is the museum fascinating with an audio tour, but the Tunnel leads you to some of the best views of the falls!

Some more photos from my recent road trip: Cabot Trail, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

We did the loop in a day. Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day and the views were breathtaking.

This is the inspiration behind one of our newest scents, launching at our November markets!

Stopped by Arts Market 790 queen east to see what would be in need of a restock. Will be dropping autumn scents and a full restock of your favourite scents from across Canada soon!

A few more snaps from Newfoundland.

Gros Morne National Park is not to be missed. There is so much to see and do here. 3 nights was not enough and I look forward to returning!

From the Tablelands hike on earth's mantle to the stunning rolling views, it was stunning beauty that everyone should experience at least once!

While I am back in Ontario now, I am playing catch up and dealing with a reno...so stay tuned for online store restocks in the coming days.

Newfoundland round 2:

A trip in to St John's to do a switch over at the airport (my friend Crystal started the trip with me, my bf aaron is doing the trip back with me). Included brunch on the way in D***o because it was the end of the girl's trip and we had to. A stop at Signal Hill for all of us, a visit to our old neighbor who moved to st. John's this year near jellybean row (no photos), and pizza in the park for lunch before the drive back to the campsite at Terra Nova. Used the colby stroller for the first time and he kind of liked it...the hills in dt St. John's were something else!

I tried to fit as much as possible into the trip but already want to book trips 2 and 3 back to the rock to see different parts of this beautiful island! If you havent been to newfoundland, I highly suggest going.

Plus...some new Canadian scents inspired by this trip will be coming soon!

Realized I havent really posted much since starting my trip however many days ago.

Here are some pics from my first few days on the road:

Day 1 was straight through Ontario and Quebec for one night in Edmunston, NB, followed by a day of exploring and travel in NB. One night using harvest hosts at the most amazing apple orchard where we watched a wicked thunderstorm out out windows near by. More NB travels the next day visiting RARE OLIVE │Nicole Gagnon nearby for a beach day before making our way into NS for a quick evening at a little brewery off the highway and then it was a day sail by ferry off to Newfoundland!

It's my third trip to the east coast and each time the trips get better and better. I would highly recommend an east coast road trip to all!

Tomorrow is a heavy travel day but I will try to post highlights from Newfoundland. A province I have to revisit and stay much much longer in!
