Halfway Through August (The Sunday of Summer)!
Pamela Facey — August 17, 2023
It’s getting to that point in the summer where you feel that chill at night once the sun goes down or early in the morning to walk your dog and the air is brisk - a true sign that summer is on its way out. While I’ve enjoyed the many hikes in the sun, and BBQs in backyards is it bad that I’m secretly excited? I have no problem trading those things for a hot latte by the fireplace, wrapped in a cozy knit sweater.. I guess there will be time for that and I’ll enjoy the jacket-free days while we still have them. What about you - are you team summer or team fall?
In Salon News…
Karissa’s wedding is just around the corner! We celebrated our fiery crimson stylist in style by going out for a team brunch at The Beaumont Kitchen. It had been almost 5 months since we were able to get everyone’s schedules coordinated for a team meal and what better an excuse than to celebrate our salon’s soon-to-be bride. We devoured benedicts, french toast, and several mimosas - the vibe was cozy and felt like we were sitting in someone’s kitchen at a gorgeous live edge wood slab table top. The countdown is on as we are officially 36 days away from her special day with her fiance.

Life Lately…
Aside from getting my oldest daughter ready for a new middle school (how is she almost 11?), we’ve been trying to soak up these last days of summer as much as possible. One of my favourite summer activities is a Guess Where trip. “What is that?” you might be asking? A Guess Where trip is a self-guided one-day surprise road trip which is amazing because they take the planning out of adventure. Being a planner - sometimes I just want to go and do, I don’t want to think. They deliver you a cute little box full of envelopes, and as you open each one you are sent off to a destination unknown (within a reasonable distance of course). I love that you discover parts of Ontario that you never would have found if not for being sent on this adventure. You can choose between hiking adventures, markets, art, whatever it is that you’re into and they will curate a special day just for you. The country roads are an added bonus. My recipe for a perfect Guess Where trip is some country music, and some good conversation.
We went on one to Elora & St. Jacobs last Saturday for my cousin Dan’s birthday. We checked out their elaborate farmer’s market and little shops throughout the morning and finished the day at a local breakfast spot. It was so nice taking a break from the chaos of the city and enjoying some of the slower things in these cute little towns that we wouldn’t have come across in our usual day-to-day lives!
If you’ve been in to the salon lately, I’m sure you’ve heard me excitedly talking about how cathartic it was for me to write my book, The Victory Lap, and how thrilled I am with its upcoming release. I can’t wait to share it with you all.
I want to know - what final things are on your bucket list before summer comes to a close!
