Winter is Coming

You don’t have to be like John Snow and know nothing. Winter is on the corner and Toronto is about to be freezing. This Top 5 will help you escape the cold and enjoy the Season until Spring strikes again.

1. Fake ‘till you make it.

There is nothing better than a comfortable and warm jacket for you to face the lower temperatures. At the same time, you want to be in style, eh? Real fur is no longer a must and has being replaced by faux fur that will keep you warm and in fashion. Plus, you will spend way less on it. H&M, Zara, and Canadian Brand Aritzia are all-in this trend and so should you.

2. Gaga: Five Foot Two

Imagine the picture: Snow falling outside, you and bae getting together near the fireplace, drinking some wine and watching this amazing documentary. In the 2-hour movie, Gaga strips herself out of the eccentric clothes and shows the World all the sacrifice one’s make to be a superstar. While recording a new album and preparing for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, the singer has to deal with her own dramas: heartbreak and a disease that keeps her in constantly pain. It will give a lot to think about and keep you away from the cold.

3. Chocolate Way of Life

There is nothing better than drinking a creamy hot chocolate to warm the body and your heart, and Cacao 70 does it better than anyone in town. In this cozy restaurant at the Distillery District, chocolate is the star ingredient and they have a wide menu of desserts and drinks. Do not forget to try the classic ‘American-Style Hot Chocolate’ served with marshmallows and your choice of milk or dark melted chocolate.

4. Fondue for 2

HOT MELTED CHEESE. Fondue is a Swiss dish made of melted cheese served in a pot, and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese. It is pretty simple, but tasteful, and is a perfect match for a candle lights dinner with a good wine. You will definitely forget about the cold weather outside!

5. Do you want to Sambar?

This is for those who want to escape the winter. Literally. Brazil is on the Southern Hemisphere which means HOT SUMMER from December to March. The Brazilian Coast is filled with blue beaches and white sand where you can enjoy Summer, while drinking a caipirinha, a Brazilian drink made with fruits and cachaça. If you’re planning your trip to February, Rio de Janeiro is the must-go city. The biggest Carnaval of the World happens in Rio in the month and there, you will have the time of your life with Brazilian music, dance and people.
