Ya’ll know I love nuts. *Ad

It’s no secret I’m obsessed with @Natursource - I’ve been raving about their nuts for the past few years. I often get messages from some of you guys when you try them out because you finally understand what my hype is all about.

They’ve recently dropped the Hickory flavour which has quickly become one of my favs (right next to the Tamari and Olio D’Oliva). It’s my go to snack, period. They especially come in handy if I’m on a shoot and need something quick to tie me over.

Fun fact: @mrsergioroque and I actually shot some stuff for @natursource a few months back. We stan when our favourite brands become clients.

You can grab these guys online on @amazonca or find them in @loblawson, @metroontario and sometimes even @Winners (that’s where I first discovered them).

Lately haven’t been finding comfort on this platform the same way I used to. It’s a mixture of COVID fatigue, lockdown, and just overall lack of inspiration. Toronto has had some of the strictest, and longest-running, closings in North America and I’ve barely left the house this past year.

It’s tough, and honestly instead of jumping on here and pretending everything is alright I’ve been spending more time working on myself and on projects I’m passionate about (seriously, does anyone need another outfit inspo when we’re all just sitting at home in sweatpants for the last year?).

Swipe to see some of the work I’ve been doing with @mrsergioroque for @bemistermister these last few months. ✌️ #BeingCreativeKeepsMeGoing

#ad Coffee Break ☕️

A little midday pick-me up from @StarbucksCanada. These days I find myself working a little bit longer and a little bit harder. Since we’re all working from home I think it’s so easy to get lost in your work and barely move. There are days where Sergio and I start shooting and before we even notice it’s getting dark out. We try to go for a little walk, stretch our legs and stop at our favourite local @SbuxJarvis and grab a Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. Hands down my favourite Starbucks drink ever - just do a few modifications to fit within my diet. Swipe to see how I enjoy my Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. What’s your favourite Starbucks drink? How do you customize it?

Happy Valentine’s Day from our little fam 💕

Spending Valentine’s Day with my #1 and @felixetluciewines. It’s kind of weird but this Valentine’s Day a romantic dinner for us is actually staying in. I feel like we’ve been ordering so much food lately that ordering food for Valentine’s Day doesn’t even really feel romantic. Instead, we’re cooking dinner, enjoying a glass of #FélixetLucie, and each other’s company. What are your Valentine’s Day plans? @felixetluciewines

#ad Every morning when Sergio and I take the dogs out for their walk we hit up our local @StarbucksCanada. We tend to pre-order our drinks through the Starbucks app right as we’re leaving the house so they’re ready by the time Max and Daisy 🐶 are finished doing their business. It works great for us because I can quickly run inside and pick up my coffee while social distancing - they’re placed on a pick-up counter with plexiglass in between. Sometimes they’ve got these funny dad jokes printed on them that give me a good chuckle. I’m sure you’ve seen them in my stories.

My go-to drinks are always a toss up between a customized Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew or a customized Caffè Misto. It really just depends on how cold it is outside 🥶. Today was a Caffè Misto day. I normally swap out regular milk for almond milk and add sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup and extra cinnamon powder. Being able to customize my drinks is an absolute game changer - these days I’m really conscious about what I eat and avoid a lot of food and drinks if I can’t fit it into my low carb diet.
Customizing my morning @SbuxJarvis coffee is just one of those small daily wins that allow me to stick to my goals and keep things on track.

And I don’t know about you guys, but my morning coffee routine is probably the one thing that’s stayed really consistent throughout this last year. Something about that sense of normality, getting some fresh air and a cup of coffee in hand just puts a smile on my face.

Name something cuter than Daisy’s face when she’s getting a belly rub? You can’t.

The more time I spent time indoors, the more I think about the ways I can improve my space.

Through this past year I’ve invested in more comfortable furniture, bought a few plants, rearranged my space and picked up some extra sweats - all to make this time spent at home more comfortable. Most things were a success - the plants, not so much. I killed both the palms and the yucca and I bought (to be fair, @seannanigans said this would happen). I’m terrible at being a plant dad, always forgetting to water them, and I never know if I’m doing enough, (sorry) but I know plants are super important to have indoors - they help with air quality, adding some greenery indoors and overall just make me feel a little bit better about being stuck inside 90% of the time.

The team over at @Respira_Air recently launched their living plant wall on @Kickstarter - a fully automated self watering, self lighting and self feeding system. Perfect for people like me who want to bring some green indoors but don’t have that green thumb. Plus, I’m in awe of how beautiful the piece is, and it’s a great conversation starter.

Visit my link in bio @MrHugoFilipe to check out the full @Kickstarter campaign and see what Respira can do. What have you done over the past year to improve your time spent indoors? #BreatheNaturally #Ad
