Idt I've ever done a solo date and I've been telling myself I need to do one. I've gone to places by myself like going to Target and of course like going to appointments by myself, go to a workout class by myself, but it's different when you eat by yourself or go to a coffee shop by yourself and chill there. Such a great reminder that you don't need anybody to go somewhere with you.

I really enjoyed watching this video! It's so inspiring! Really hope you can do more of these videos. 😍
I was at lawrence market I think 1 table back to try the food I got there. I then went to sugar beach. My favorite spot is the island to go biking. And I have 1 favorite spot for the sunset. Summer days
Hey! lovely vlog. I also am trying to get over the awkwardness of vlogging in public, reason why i cannot take nice shots while outside. But your video did encourage me and also got to know that I am not the only one!
Loved the weekly vlog and such a valuable reminder. A couple of years ago, I went to a Black Pink concert by myself as I was new to the city and didn't know many people who liked Kpop music. However, still to this day, it was one of the most liberating, fun and memorable experiences I've ever had. Solo dates are the best! x

okay but when you took your hat off your hair looked gorgeous??!

I LOVE love love this vlog so much, Celine!! The filming in public thing is so hard for me too, but I found if I keep it discreet enough, people have no idea lol. Also, I haven't done complete research but I heard rumors of some dry shampoos having a toxic chemical in it, especially the aerosol ones. Just an fyi :) Can't wait for more videos! I'd love to see more solo date/city errands vlogs hehe. I haven't been to Canada in so long so it's nice to explore through your lens.

Hey Celine I love your witty and dry sense of humor. You're really funny. I like when you said "This is such a You Tubery thing to do" 😂 On my God this summer was hot as hell (I live on the east coast an hour from DC) and I hated it. It was torture. Give me Fall and Winter any day. You make me want to get a kindle because I like reading in the dark. I'm a faithful audiobook listener.though. This was a fun video. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

@Celinelikedion Celine, I really enjoyed this lovely, down to earth and easy going vlog, which I could really relate to🤗. I am very much a solo dater as I treat solo dates like an adventure, to explore new places, even in my own neighbourhood and as way to meet new people. I have been to big concerts, cafes/restaurants, movies conventions and done wine tours on my own. It is my time out, zen time. Your solo date tips are perfect advice.👍 I am a huge skin care junkie. I love Nars products. I am very religious with sunscreen ( the best anti-aging product) and it is a necessity in Australia . My go to are La Roche Posay Anthelios Invisivible Fluid and Ultra Violette SPF 50+ for all skin types. The hot weather is already starting quite early here in Spring. And being a fake blonde, brassiness is my issue and thank goodness for purple shampoo🙏. I really loved your casual dress🥰. I still wear clothes that I bought 24 years ago, which are of good quality and are timeless or come back in fashion...and I look after them. I have visited Canada twice...and St Lawrence Market immediately reminded me of Granville Island, which I loved so much with many good memories. Sugar Beach looks gorgeous. One day I hope to get to Toronto🙏. In Australia🐨🦘, the equivalent of Mimiso is Daiso and I go crazy buying stationary and knick knacks. The stickers are so cute. And the mochi donuts look delish and I would have devoured the matcha donut. I need to get back to reading novels...thank you for the inspiration.🤗
Sheeeesh😁 Big money girl
Celine you are beautifully gorgeous
