What was your very first impression when you arrived at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise?
I thought I was in a snow globe — it looked so beautiful it was surreal.

How did the scenery here inspire your personal style or content creation?
Being able to reconnect with nature is always inspiring for me. As someone who lives in a warm climate, the snow and beautiful views were such a welcome change, and enjoying them with my best friend was very inspiring. I also loved being able to explore winter fashion.

Everyone has a go-to comfort when traveling. What’s one thing you always pack that instantly makes any hotel room feel like home?
My skincare is an important part of my nighttime routine — I absolutely need it to feel at home.

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?
Being an influencer can be a solitary experience. Being able to connect with other creatives as well as my best friend allows creating content to feel fun and authentic — and that’s a big reason why I go on these trips.

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

The whole trip was inspiring and made me incredibly grateful for what I do.

I really loved the Blissy silk pillows — they’ll definitely become a staple for me.

What’s one unexpected talent, hobby, or guilty pleasure you have that might surprise everyone?
I’m quite talented at playing the piano — it’s a huge passion of mine.

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?
I had the privilege of having my best friend join me on the trip, which made all the difference. I wish I could’ve brought my dog though — I missed him the whole time!

What’s something new you discovered about yourself on this trip — creatively, personally, or spiritually?
I rediscovered how important community is in feeling inspired creatively.

When your audience sees your content, what do you hope they feel or take away from it?
A sense of empowerment and understanding of what they deserve.
