Hello Darlings, There’s only one thing more precious than our time and that’s who we spend it on.

From knowing when to back away from the wrong conversation or what kind of flowers to bring for the hosts is not just a kind gesture but also a sign of respect for your company. It’s a matter of being a good guest!

Hello Darlings, Upon checking into my room and a quick soak, I was ready for a night on the town! With an itinerary filled with adventure, I was as excited as a little kid on a Christmas morning. The first event on the list was a meet and greet at Bartini in the lobby of W. Luckily, my closet friend and a colleague Miya joined me on this trip. She was covering the experience for TheYouthSociety.com — a women’s lifestyle site I co-found in 2014— and you can read all about it here. After a few martinis and making new friends, we set out to explore the town starting with an incredible dinner at Jatoba as recommended by our W Insider. If in Montreal, it’s a must try!

It was a perfect girls night filled with great food, a few cocktails and many laughs!
