I was in Montreal a few years ago and when walking downtown me and a friend saw a sign for the exhibit and decided to check it out, mostly to get out of the snow. We ended up staying for almost two hours looking at the different Barbies! If you like art or fashion you have to go.
They have so many dolls from all over the world, it was so fun to see the different historical fashions and also Barbie versions of well known icons.

I’m obsessed with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and visit anytime I’m in the city. It’s multiple buildings all connected underground. I’ve spent 8 hours in there without realizing it.
*I was born in Toronto and go to school in Toronto and I love so much about this city…BUT none of our museums compare to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in my opinion*

There’s so many out there. I’ve been to the ice cream one in Chicago (it might be gone now?? I’m pretty sure it was a pop up) and a sock monkey one about an hour deep into suburbs. I think they’re so fun and a nice day trip with friends!

I loved the big one at the Met a couple years back - this show is smaller but has some gems like this Magritte painting. I didn’t know Magritte had this kind of depth
Also the Pompidou is about to close in 5 years so if you’re in Paris I hope you’re seeing this post

Fun fact about me is that I actually worked at a specialty cheese store for quite a while, so I like to think I know a few things haha. We carried about 115 different cheeses as well as all the kinds of crackers, jams, jellies, and whatever else you would think to pair them with.
My all time favorite cheese is a soft, spreadable honey goat cheese. Tastes great on a toasted everything bagel or with a simple cracker and spicy salami or other cured meat.
A few other favorite pairings include smoked gouda, which tases amazing with a sweet onion jam, a creamy brie (triple creme is the best) with a toasted baguette or one of those crackers with dried fruit in it, and a super sharp cheese with a fatty cured meat (highly recommend duck salami).
Some great cheeses you can find in most grocery stores:
- Vat 17 (extra sharp cheddar with salt crystals, my mouth is literally watering thinking about it)
- BellaVitano (an Italian table cheese, the plain is amazing, but the flavored ones are also great)
- Drunken Goat (a goat cheese washed in red wine!)
- Port Salut (semi-soft cheese, flavor kinda similar to mozzarella)
- Délice de Bourgogne (best triple creme brie ever, its literally like butter)
I could give so many more recommendations, so if you are looking for a cheese to go with something specific or none of the above are quite your style, feel free to comment!!
