Here is my curated list of some of my favourite things in Vancouver, a compilation of local businesses in Vancouver from 2020.
I often talk about a multitude of things that I love and/or bring me joy (other than my children and family of course). These vary from foods, coffees, wines, essential oils, health products, etc. Having said that there are some things that I love so much it’s often hard to pick.
But I’m going to…try.
I have organized a number of categories, specific to Vancouver and all things that a part of my busy bee life as a mom. I find that every so often, in my love of all things local, I gravitate to a number of businesses for various reasons. So for all intents and purposes, this list is very much for fun and could be that I frequented these places, or used these products more than others and hence landing them on this list.
But I promise you…I truly am a fan of each of the below.
So without further or due, here is my list of favourite things in Vancouver (I hope I didn’t miss anything, I’m sure I did…oh well).
