I have known Tonya for a few years now, and I have admired her for so many reasons. She rocks in every sense of the word. She has a wicked food blog, knows how to cook pretty much anything and loves to share her passion about cooking. Tonya also knows where all the best places to eat are EVERYWHERE! She has come to my rescue many times, as I am always convinced she knows everything.  Read below to find out more about her and make sure to check out her food blog.

Name: Tonya Facey

Passion: Food & travel

9 to 5: Marketing

Shameless plug: My food blog, What’s On My Plate!

Favourite heel: Anything closer to flat or… high-heeled Mary Janes.

Home is... Toronto by birth, New York by association, Paris by heart.

I overcome a ¨broken heel¨ by… keeping things in perspective.  What will this moment mean in a month, in a year… in 10 years.

I confess I am… a bit obsessed with butter and bacon.  They make everything taste better.

If I had one wish… I’d wish that I didn’t rely on wishes to get what I want in life.

Beauty is… self-confidence.  Self-awareness. A commitment to self.

I absolutely love… walking the streets of Paris. Sheets when they first come out of the dryer.  The smell after it rains.  Bacon.

My role model is… any woman that has successfully transformed herself midstream.  Think Julia Child who worked for the Office of Strategic Services during WWII and only began her career in food during her 40s.

I want to be remembered for… having the courage to say no, but the openness to say yes.

You make a difference by… committing myself to honesty with everyone.

Last words… what’s a calorie?
