The Quiet Season Starts Now
07/07 — Your Guide to Toronto Wellness This Week

Hey there! 💜
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how loud the world gets when the sun finally comes out. Everyone’s outside, patios are packed, there’s this unspoken urgency to do something — to maximize the day, the weather, the moment. And while I love a good summer plan as much as anyone, I’ve also been feeling... tired. Not in a bad way, just in that quiet, honest way your body tells you it wants to slow down.
There’s this pressure to turn every clear-skied Saturday into a highlight reel — but what if we didn’t?
What if it was enough to just know the weather’s nice, even if you’re inside doing absolutely nothing about it?
That’s still part of summer.
And it’s ok if your version looks like an open window and a soft playlist instead of a rooftop and rosé.
The other day, I got my hair done — fresh, bouncy, that post-salon confidence kind of good — and had zero plans after. A part of me felt like I should go out, like I needed to take advantage of the day and the good hair. But the rest of me? She just wanted to walk. No destination, no outfit change, no photos. Just a quiet stroll home. Because it felt right.
You don’t need a reason to treat yourself. You don’t need an agenda for your joy. Sometimes doing less — or nothing at all — is exactly the kind of alignment we’ve been craving.
Also — if you haven’t heard, I started a broadcast channel because I want to share the fun, messy, random stuff that doesn’t always make it to my main page. More real talk, more connection.
Take care of you,
Maria 💛
