YP Life

Most young professionals (YPs) have every intention to consciously budget and wisely save our well-earned dollars, whether to ensure security for years down the road or to reward ourselves with that much-needed vacation the following month

We’re always on the lookout for ways to enjoy the good life in the city, with a never-ending stream of hot spots popping up around town (more details about our latest finds coming soon). But some evenings call for a night away from the centre of all the action (and preferably the couch). When said need strikes, we head over and up (literally)

This weekender comes loaded with reasons for Notable YP’s to shrug off the turkey-coma and squeeze in a little outdoors-y fun while adding a bit of pre-New Year festivities to the mix. If you’re one of the unfortunate few who weren’t able to score an entire week off work – we’re notably sorry... so come Friday at 5 o’clock, we’re betting you’ll be more than ready to exit the office for continued holiday fun.

Summer is here (it actually feels like it most days!), and for a young professional living in a downtown apartment or condo, that can mean it's time to spruce up your balcony. The art of container gardening is on the rise and offers a way to keep the growth of plants and vegetables limited, meaning they could easily fit on a balcony and transform it into a legitimate outdoor space
