Some moments feel like déjà vu, others like destiny. sashakarina.com | sashakarina@protonmail.com https://marigoldgift.com/SashaKarina

Feeling especially grateful lately. ❤️‍🔥 For the wonderful people I’ve met, the experiences we’ve shared, the generosity that continues to surprise me, and the little moments that make this life so special. Feeling very lucky, very loved, and very excited for what’s next. 🍒✨

2026–2027 Date Wishlist 🍷 Quetzal + AIRE Ancient Baths 🍸 Bar Raval + DaiLo 🥂 Oyster bar + champagne + hotel 🍽️ Ridiculously fancy tasting menu 🏀 Raptors game 🎳 Old-school bowling, yes, I’m wearing a skirt 🧖‍♀️ Blue Mountain + Scandinave Spa 🍾 Down Home + June Motel Beaver Valley

To the man who always knows how to spoil me… ❤️ Some people make you feel special, and some make you feel truly cherished. Thank you for all the thoughtful surprises, the indulgent moments, the laughter, and adventures. I’m very lucky to have someone who knows exactly how to make me smile. 🥂✨

Highlights include uni w/ ikura & caviar (that go "pop! pop! pop!" in our mouths), hamachi, corn soup, toro w/ truffle, and tomago dessert. Each course takes my breath away and leaves me speechless. Paired with the company, this is easily one of the best meals I've ever had.

The next morning w/ head out for bottomless mimosas and Aire. And because I'm learning that maybe I like breaking the rules, we take sneaky pics at the spa. There are giggles, meditative salt floats, and we all brave the cold dip (multiple times, because we are badasses).

The next day we must all part ways. Our gentleman has business to attend to. Sasha has to get back to TO. It was an incredible weekend of joy & connection. We got to learn a lot from this hardworking, smart, and kind gentleman.

Oh, and he brought us a selection of goods from Maude. A company that reigns supreme in the world of sexy wellness. It also happens to be founded by a woman - Éva Goicochea (and her husband) and Dakota Johnson is an investor. Did I mention this gentleman is a total king? 👑

Post noms we use our two feet and a heart beat (4th mode of transportation unlocked) to head to Dear Irving on Hudson at the Aliz Hotel. We get cocktails. I chose The Leopard Print. It seemed fitting. Though I was tempted to get The Legends of Gotham. Just to commit to the bit.

On the way home we run into some road construction. We will have to detour through an intersection. As we assess which path to take a woman construction worker yells at us, "Ya' gonna have to go around! It ain't gonna part like the Red Sea!". And I think, "F I love this city!"

Like other self-employed people, most 🌶️ workers don't get stat pay but we can redistribute money to Indigenous nations and organizations any day of the year! Today is one day but I'm more curious about what action will be taking three months from now. Below are some of orgs closest to my heart 🧡

Fun weekend has been had! ✨ Now onto an even more exciting week ahead. 😘 And there’s plenty more on the horizon… I’m already planning a few more tours for the coming months. New cities, new adventures, and hopefully lots of trouble along the way. ❤️‍🔥 Request a visit 💃🏻

Celebrated ❤️‍🔥 Negroni Week ❤️‍🔥 with the best company and an unforgettable little Negroni experience. Bittersweet, boozy, beautifully balanced, and even better when shared with someone who knows how to make an evening delicious. 🍊🥃✨

Some delicious highlights from dinner at EST ✨ Scallops, tartare, and a chocolate mousse that absolutely deserved the spotlight. Not pictured but equally delicious: the endive salad and oysters 🦪 A very delicious evening, indeed. 🥂

Back in Toronto after an absolutely incredible weekend. ✨ There’s plenty to share, but I’ll save that for another time... For now, it feels lovely to be home and settling back into this beautiful city of ours. ❤️
