I always have amazing opportunities to try new things and this time, I am at my local fast food restaurant Wendys trying their fresh-made salads. Salads I must admit is something I never order… but I figured I should and I’m glad I did. I tried their BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad in their half size (which was still a large portion). It’s quite hearty and really fresh. The BBQ Ranch dressing is a little on the saltier side, so I would advise to put some dressing in and try it – add more if needed. This amazing little salad was really filling as it was topped with fire-roasted corn, applewood smoked bacon, warm, and grilled chicken.
The other salad we got was their Taco Supermo Salad also in half size. This one, my husband really loved as he loves Wendy’s chili and tacos with salsa and sour cream. This amazing salad was a bed of fresh greens topped with their famous chili, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, chunky salsa, sour cream, yellow corn tortilla which added a nice crunch.
For people who don’t actually eat a lot of salads – especially going out and purchasing one, Wendy’s salads have never left our mind as we often talk about trying more of their salads – but we’re stuck on the Taco Supermo salad.
I have always loved the Fairmont Hotels and when I saw a special for the Fairmont Palliser, I knew it wasn’t an offer I was about to turn down or miss! This hotel is historic and beautiful, and it’s located right next to the Calgary Tower. The only thing I found was a little odd was it’s check in situation where you just parallel park on the side of the road, or in some cases the lane into traffic.
Once we were inside, we were greeted with friendly faces, courteous staff and a beautiful lobby! The lobby was absolutely gorgeous and I was excited I got to be there! Check in staff was quick and efficient and we found where we needed to go really quickly!
We took the elevators up to the room and the room was beautiful! It’s updated with art from antique postcards of the hotel in the bathroom and everything was tastefully decorated. The room was spacious and offers your typical in-room amenities such as a mini bar, water kettle and even a kurig coffee maker!
The bathroom was really quite beautiful as well, with tons of space and counter top! There’s even a hair dryer in the bathroom and beautiful Fairmont robes for you to use during your stay!
The bathroom amenities was a scent developed by themselves which was nice and unique to them! I love that they spend the time and effort thinking about details like that!
As we left the room, I had to go visit the hot tub and pool area! I love relaxing and winding down a day for a quick soak in hot tubs! This hotel has a beautiful pool that’s located inside the spa, but the pool is for guests – you just need your room key to get in!
The experience here was unforgettable! I loved every minute of my stay and I sure hope to be back again some day! To see the room walk-through that we stayed in, check the clip below!
I had the opportunity to go to Lethbridge, Alberta this year to watch the Lethbridge Air Show. We knew we wanted to stay over, so we chose a hotel that offered Wyndham Rewards and ended up at Ramada Lethbridge.
The location is located on a major road which was extremely convenient and quite close to the airport! There’s a set of street lights right into the parking lot which makes it really easy to get in and out of the hotel during anytime of day, including rush hour! Ramada Lethbridge does offer airport shuttles if needed.
The hotel is quite old as it is an old town, but because of that, it is in the centre of many tourist attractions and business centres! The rooms are extremely quiet, even facing the Magrath Drive, I wasn’t able to hear any traffic with the windows closed at night! If you’re here for business, there is a desk in the room which is perfect for you to get things done! There is a business centre on site in the hotel as well.. if you need more than a workspace.
The bathrooms are quite spacious and offers a tub/shower in case you want a quick shower or a relaxing soak. The bathroom amenities are provided by San Francisco Soap Company which is one of my favourite hotel bathroom amenities providers!
The rooms are spacious enough as we’re not really living there during the stay. Basically using it when we need, but these rooms also have a little seating area which is great for just winding down or if you have a visitor or 2, it makes it more comfortable.
The hallways are a little run down and the sound proof between the doors and walls could use a bit of updating, but overall, it was a wonderful experience staying here! We loved every minute of it!
During our stay, there was even complimentary coffee in tea in room, and there was a complimentary continental breakfast in the hotel which was a delicious breakfast offering in the restaurant located in the lobby with a breakfast selection of cereal, waffles, fruits and even some hot food! There was much more pro than cons here!

I’ve waited for a lot of years to stay at the luxiourious Bellagio Las Vegas, and we finally decided to stay there – just for 1 night (which I thought was a million times better than none!) We were greeted by friendly staff at the front desk to check us in, and as always, Bellagio was beautifully decorated and this time, it was for the festive holiday season!
When I first got to the room, I was greeted by the grand, and rather spacious foyer area that linked the door, to the room, to the bathroom. Tiled and light, it felt like I was transported to somewhere special – and expensive!
Bellagio Room Foyer
Just off the foyer was the grand bathroom, and I say grand because it’s huge! There’s only 1 bathroom in this suite, but definitely enough counter space and just space in general to spare! Once you turn to the bathroom, you’re greeted by 2 sinks with beautifully tiled marble floors. You can definitely take a while to absorb the beauty of this bathroom!
On the bathroom counter tops are lots of amenities and the scent of the products used are quite fragrant, yet light! It’s the perfect blend that they use, and their products actually feel really nice as well!
Bellagio Las Vegas Bathroom Amenities
My favourite part of this room is the large soaker tub, which is off to one side. It’s large, spacious and just a great way to wind down, or sooth tired achy feet from all the walking!
Last but not least in the bathroom would be the spacious stand up shower with glass walls, making it quite the experience for a shower! The seals were actually really good as no water was let out during the usage. There’s even a little ledge for you to use, but I must say – it’s pretty cold if you want to sit on it!
Now, moving on to the actual room, once you’re in the area, there’s a beautiful counter with a mini bar/fridge, completely stocked up for your convenience! I must say, the products are extremely expensive, as conveniences comes with a heavy price tag! Regardless, I didn’t indulge in anything like that as I didn’t spend too much time in the room.
The king bed was really plush and luxurious. It was very comfortable, and it was firm enough! A fabulous room and stay overall! The room was comfortable for bed, but be warn, crazy alarms do go off in the middle of the night and it’s loud! We timed the alarm, and it went off for 2 minutes before telling us “the cause of the alarm has been identified, and not an emergency” In the event it was, we lost at least 2 minuted to evacuate the building.
As we only stayed here for one night, the next morning, we packed up and made our way to Vdara, where there was a nice walkway to that resort, and I didn’t know it was there! Be aware there are 2 towers at the Bellagio, and they are not connected, but they can tell where you need to be by looking at the design of your key! Watch the walk-through of the room, and be prepared to be blown away!
I’ve been really dry lately, and I’ve recently walked into one of my newly favourite stores Rocky Mountain Soap Company at Canmore and tried one of their Limited release Sugar Pear product line and I really began to love their body butter! The body butter comes in a stick form, much like a deodorant, which is really nice for easy application – without getting your hands all sticky and greasy!
The scent is quite amazing, it’s like becoming a walking dessert, which is really quite a treat! It does leave a sticky film on the skin at first, but it just melts away – leaving unbelievably soft skin afterwards! This product is completely natural, and 99.6% organic which is a huge selling feature for some of their clients. I’m good either way, I just like a product that works – and this product delivers! With my super dry legs, it seems to have made the snake skin disappear after a day and a half!
