👇 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.

🚽✨ Two brand new public washrooms are now open along Dallas Road.

The modern, accessible facilities are now open at Holland Point Park and the southeast corner of Beacon Hill Park.

You may still see crews on site as they remove the original buildings and restore the surrounding landscape. A third replacement washroom is planned for Ross Bay Cemetery later this year.
