I recently moved and, in doing so, was reminded that it’s time for some new towels. So, I searched for some great-looking towels I could test and might ultimately love, that search led me to Pokoloko. Like many, I’ve had the same set of towels for years, and while they did me well along the way, it’s time for an update. Last time around, I must admit, I just brought one of the first sets I found, and while it was fine, I never really loved them, so I wanted to find some full-body towels, hand towels, kitchen towels and…
Like so many over the past two years, I have moved into a new place, and while it’s new to me, it’s not new to the world, which means it needs some serious TLC. Over my youth, I was lucky enough to apprentice with my dad, a general contractor and pick up some of the tricks of the trade, aka the basics.

Growing up, I never really cared for spring. I was always more focused on summer and fall, but I’ve warmed up to spring in recent years, literally and figuratively. While I love the change in season blooming flowers, spring in Canada isn’t all that warm, so it’s actually the perfect time for a great sweater. A great sweater brings warmth, comfort, and a touch of style to each look. So, after testing the classic cashmere sweaters from Mott & Bow, I just had to share them with you. Say hello to the Classic Cashmere Crew Bergen. This insanely soft one…
