Read on to find out where her #WelliWander takes her:

Trove Fashion
I have loved Trove since it opened. Great quality consignment clothes and accessories. The owners and staff are clearly passionate about fashion. They have a smart, effective Instagram game!
Flava Factory
This dance studio is teaching urban dance and our teenager would live there if she could. Amazing instructors who care about their students. They are plugged into the community through events and performances.


Bread By Us
Great products and great people. They pay their employees a fair wage and they give back to the community. I am eating way more bread since they moved into Wellington West. Cannot be helped. So good!
Little Macs
Delicious food. Supporting the local burger and fry movement in our neighbourhood has been a cause my family is solidly behind. 😉 And they have parking which is awesome!


Les Moulins La Fayette
The almond chocolate croissants are off the charts. We have to eat them in moderation. I love stopping for an oat milk latte when I’m out for a walk. A very cozy spot, and I can’t wait to once again sit indoors!
