My Awakening – Dear BHD…
The numerous challenges and changes that seemed overbearing weren’t without reason. When you log on to BHD you are witnessing my growth, which is essentially how BHD came to be. I figured if I kept writing I would get over my then heartbreak and post by post my laptop and wordpress would nurture me into...
BHD Gifts: STLTO Colour Scarves
Going to so many parties during the holidays it isn’t easy to stay original and creative with hostess gifts. STLTO has taken care of that with their unique pairing of coloured pashmina (red, black, silver, gold or fuchsia pink!) with their ultra-fun bottles of STLTO red, a very yummy wine available at your closest LCBO....
Travel to Chelsea
One of my favourite get-aways is Quebec’s countryside. It’s not that far away from Toronto, but once you are there, it feels like being in another country. During my last trip, I fell in love with a picturesque village lost in the middle of the forest, a place that was taken straight out of a...
Travel to Vancouver
My first trip to Vancouver was with Esmeralda, the Chilean naval training ship and the Chilean diplomatic crew for a reception being held in their honor. Being the loving wife that I am, I accompanied my husband on this work trip. I’ve always wanted to visit Vancouver for the wonderful things people boasts about. Everything...

For thirty years, I only knew Canada through my schoolbooks: pictures of breathtaking parks, endless lakes, green gardens, deer running freely in the woods and canoes on lakes. Without imagining it would ever happen, I ended up living in Toronto, a vibrant cosmopolitan city that I love but so different to the Canada I had...
Summer Perfect Wine: STLTO
Summer at last! Hot & humid but who cares. As long as I can wear my shorts and light dresses instead of my winter jacket that makes me look like the Michelin Man, all is perfect. One of the things I enjoy doing in summer is sitting on my balcony starring at the lake, while...
Travel to Sandbanks Provincial Park
One of the things I enjoy most about living in Canada is that there’s always a new spot to visit. I recently visited Sandbanks Provincial Park, a sought after destination for Canadians but a lovely new place for me to visit and disconnect from the city, hidden in giant sand dunes. When I first moved...
Wine Tasting in Prince Edward County
I just visited Prince Edward County, Ontario’s newest wine region and – let me add- one of the most charming and tranquil places I’ve ever been to. Its green and endless landscapes with old limestone houses, century barns and intense blue waters surrounding it reminded me of the south of Chile where I spent my summer...
