Weekend Reads, No. 52

Bonjour! I’m sharing my Weekend Reads, No. 52 all the way from Canada! On Thursday morning I left Charleston bright and early on a 6am flight to meet my sister, Sarah, in Quebec City. We both fell in love with Quebec City the moment we stepped out of the cab from the airport. It is one of the most charming cities I’ve ever been too! I’ll be sharing a full travel guide to the city shortly.

We stayed in Quebec City Thursday and Friday nights at Auberge Saint-Antoine before heading out to countryside yesterday to check into Manoir Hovey. After one night here in the countryside, we’re off to Montreal today for our final night in Canada! It’s been a quick long weekend trip but so so fun and new. This is my second time to Canada but my first time to the eastern part of Canada (I went to Vancouver in 2016!).

I’m so lucky to be on this trip as I’m tagging along with Sarah while she scouts Canada hotels for her job (more about her dream job here!)… follow along on Instagram so you don’t miss a beat of our explorations and keep reading below for an amazing beauty guide, three easy tricks for flower arranging, a gorgeous Los Angeles dream house, two can’t-miss sales, and more in my Weekend Reads, No. 52.
