We accidentally discovered the ultimate way to celebrate your birthday: Birthday Maxxing. 🎂✨ For our 24th birthday, we spent the weekend exploring the Toronto Flower Market, sipping matcha, hunting for whimsical treasures, and fully embracing our post-London obsession with all things Notting Hill. From cozy birthday traditions to a mini mid-twenties identity crisis, this might have been our most wholesome birthday yet.

We spent one unforgettable week in London, England trying what TikTok calls "whimsy maxxing"—embracing spontaneity, saying yes to unexpected adventures, and making the most of every moment.

Instead of following a packed tourist itinerary, we mixed iconic London attractions with hidden gems, local neighborhoods, bookstores, markets, live music, and some unbelievable luck.

In this episode, we share:

* Our favourite hidden gems in London

* Budget-friendly ways to experience the city

* Borough Market

* Wimbledon on a budget

* Harry Styles at Wembley Stadium

* Harry Potter Studio Tour

* Soho shopping

* Marylebone Bookshop

* Portobello Road Market

* St. Paul's Cathedral

*Thirsty Thursdays

* Why we think London is one of the best cities in the world

If you're planning a trip to London, looking for a unique London itinerary, or just love travel stories, this episode is for you.

We get asked this question all the time:

"Why don't you drink?"

People always assume something dramatic happened to make us sober... that we had strict parents, a bad experience, or a religious reason. The truth? None of those are true. We simply... never started drinking. Somehow, that's become one of the most confusing things about us.

In this episode, we're sharing why the three of us have stayed sober throughout our 20s, how we navigate weddings, parties, work events, and friendships, and why we've never felt like alcohol was something we needed.

We talk about:

✨ Why we never started drinking

🍸 Navigating bars and weddings sober

💬 The questions people always ask us

👯 Making friends in your 20s without alcohol

This isn't about convincing anyone not to drink. Our friends drink. Our family drinks. We simply chose a different path, and we're sharing what that has looked like for us.

We'd love to hear your experience.

Are you sober? Sober curious? Or did you simply never get into drinking? Let us know in the comments.
