What was your very first impression when you arrived at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise?
I was in complete awe when I first arrived at the Fairmont Chateau in Lake Louise. Prior to
arriving, we had a two hour shuttle, so I was able to talk to some of the girls and we already got to know each other! That made my first impression even more exciting. Then we got there and it felt like I was in an evergreen commercial—it didn’t even look real. The hotel was so cozy and everything was just so beautiful. I felt so grateful and honored to be a part of this experience.

How did the scenery here inspire your personal style or content creation?
I’ve traveled a lot in my life, mostly to warmer places, so being here was definitely something new and unique for both my content and me. It pushed me to explore new styles and types of content creation.

Everyone has a go-to comfort when traveling. What’s one thing you always pack that
instantly makes any hotel room feel like home?
I always bring my bonnet and silk pillowcase! They are must haves for me and I can’t sleep
without them. Blissy surprised us with some when we arrived, and I was so excited about it!

You’ve built such a strong community online — how do trips like this help you reconnect with why you started creating in the first place?
It really helps me engage and reconnect with my audience who has supported me from the beginning. Opportunities like this allow me to share incredible moments with the people who make these experiences possible, and that’s so special to me.

If you could describe your time at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in three words, what would they be and why?
Inspiring, comforting, beautiful.

Was there a moment on this getaway that gave you a fresh perspective or inspired
gratitude?
Yes! Sitting around the campfire on the last night. The trip had been perfect, the girls were so uplifting, the experience was impeccable, and I felt incredibly thankful for this opportunity and for Modeliste including me.


The group shared so many laughs and adventures on this trip! What’s one memory that will live rent-free in your mind?
The spa day! We experienced steam rooms, foot spas, cold plunges, jacuzzis, face masks—you name it. It was the ultimate girls’ day and we shared so many laughs.

Beauty and skincare were such a highlight of this getaway. Which products or rituals made you feel your most radiant in the mountain air?
My Blissy bonnet and satin pillowcase were a MUST! And the One Skin moisturizer and sunscreen truly saved my skin in the weather. There’s nothing more radiant feeling than applying a hydrating moisturizer in the cold.

What’s one unexpected talent, hobby, or guilty pleasure you have that might surprise everyone?
Skiing! I don’t think I give off skin girl vibes, but my grandparents had a house in the mountains and we grew up skiing.

If you could teleport one person to join you here — a friend, creative, or icon — who would it be and what would you want to show them first?
My family! We all love experiences and traveling. My mom is the best travel buddy. I’d take them canoeing across the lake.

What’s something new you discovered about yourself on this trip — creatively, personally, or spiritually?
The whole trip was inspiring and motivating. It pulled me out of a creative block I didn’t even realize I was in. Being around empowering women in such a gorgeous setting reignited my creative spark.

When your audience sees your content, what do you hope they feel or take away from it?
I want them to feel uplifted and inspired. I want to encourage girls to be themselves and to never limit their potential. Follow your dreams!

Looking ahead, what’s a dream destination or collaboration that’s at the top of your 2026 vision board? 
Honestly, to work with Modeliste again! Maybe somewhere warm next time!

Finally, as you look back on your stay, what makes the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise feel so special and unforgettable to you? 
I’ll always cherish it because we created unforgettable memories and new friendships. The staff was welcoming, the hotel was stunning, and the service was amazing. I’ll definitely be back one day.
