👇 Come along with me for a wellness day in downtown Victoria.

🍵 First stop: Routine Coffee & Supply ™️ for an iced coconut matcha. Every good wellness day starts with a little treat.
🌻 A visit to Zingaro | Floral | Perfumery for sunflowers, eucalyptus and a quick browse. I may have left with a candle too.
🛍️ Next up was LUNA, one of my favourite places to wander. Vintage finds, handmade goods and thoughtfully curated pieces from independent makers.
☀️ I took everything over to St. Ann’s Academy for a little sunshine, journaling and a quiet moment before heading to Annex Fitness for a midday barre class.
🌮 The day ended with tacos from Tacofino and a few more minutes in the sun.

I love that downtown Victoria makes it so easy to move, explore, discover something new and still find moments to slow down.
