around the house like binge watch the latest season of the crown share one of our latest hobbies and just catch up on life in general so join us and chime in over in the comments letting us know what you've been up to lately hey guys hello it is friday sushi day sushi day we decided to have date night yes so we ordered some sushi which we're also going to share with my family yup um so family night family night for sushi so we got a a mackie tray basically it's like got an assortment of all different kinds lots of salmon which was the selling feature for me anyways yeah about you also i think it's pretty funny that yesterday we were filming so i did my hair i did my makeup today is supposed to be date night and it's like lounge wear your be this is the honest interpretation of a normal date night for us we're pretty casual we're pretty casual yeah so something interesting is that when we're at home when we're not traveling we actually don't eat out that often we don't even go out once a week maybe once a month maybe maybe maybe we normally cook at home yeah and so this is a real treat we're gonna just enjoy this it's honestly spontaneous this wasn't even planned which makes it even more fun and uh yeah it's friday night it's raining it's cold let's get some sushi and let's enjoy let's go to the mall go pick up our order hello it is officially winter oh my gosh yeah it is so cold out look at what we got it's huge guys it's like uh it feels like i don't know like it feels like twice the weight of a pizza i thought you were gonna save a baby um but yeah i find it so weird that the mall is super busy it's on a friday it is a friday it is a friday night but there's also a pandemic going on but like it was hard to find parking maybe maybe the restaurants have opened up again yeah i've been paying attention and people are shopping people are shopping there's a movie theater so and there's a grocery store so i guess that's part of it but yeah you get you get no sign of uh of people staying in right now no i think people have had enough it's crazy busy on the on the road as well it's the traffic is i've never seen it like this even in brampton i just feel like every year gets a little busier here a little crazier yeah let's go home well sushi time huh the sushi is here the spicy salmon cheers we've already put a pretty good dent in it huh while we're upstairs with the family so this is what's left over i mean what was like 60 something pieces oh i i suggested 30 something and somebody thought it wouldn't be enough you know it's always nice to have a snack at night and also maybe breakfast and lunch tomorrow hello so time for a little update on what i've been up to while sam's not around because this is meant to be a surprise um but basically this week we wanted to go away and film some more tiny houses for you guys we've got this whole series going on on the channel where we stayed in like off-grid cabins and suspended tents and container homes and we wanted to do more of those but when i went on airbnb i realized a little problem now that winter is arriving most of these tiny homes don't have heating like some of them have little wood stoves but basically a lot of the listings that i had saved to my favorites have been taken down because they're only available seasonally from like late spring up until thanksgiving so that left me with a little bit of a conundrum um yeah the selection was very meager and basically the ones that are available are quite expensive like we're talking over 300 a night um so instead i started looking at downtown to see if they had any hotel specials going on and they do so i found this really nice hotel in downtown toronto canada that not only was having a sale but they're also offering free room upgrades um and it was a really good price so i ended up booking that and that's what we're gonna be doing later on this week i'm trying to keep this trip a surprise but honestly sam asks so many questions it's impossible to keep any information away from him um he just gets too excited so yeah i'm trying to keep this a surprise we are leaving soon we are leaving on wednesday yeah so maybe we'll include a few clips of that in this week in the life video but yeah i'm looking forward to a little getaway just doing something different you know something outside of our daily routine and just taking a break from editing and being in front of the computer for hours on end so that'll be fun i'm very excited maybe i'll show you a picture of where we're going basically this is the hotel i booked this is one king street west and it looks nice so yeah i have booked this place for two nights we're obviously gonna be filming some videos bringing you guys along and yeah i'm thinking of turning it into like a little foodie adventure for sam because he had his birthday last month and we didn't really go away to celebrate or do anything like that we just had a family lunch with artisanal pizzas which was a lot of fun but i figured this could be like a belated birthday celebration so yeah we'll be going for two nights i've been researching restaurants i found pizzerias and i'm trying to think what else we could do while we're there i was thinking of like a virtual reality session um and playing some games or axe throwing um i don't know if someone would actually be into that so i'm kind of researching a few different options but either way it'll be a fun trip so see you soon so i'm trying not to give too much away because i still have to film the bedroom tour the bedroom makeover this is the bedroom you're welcome actually your bedroom like you were over it was all for you for me you were welcome just kidding come come a bit closer so you're actually in the frame okay there we go there we go cheers okay cheers drinking wine laptop is open and let's tell the people a few times a year i'd say maybe three times a year or less yeah or less we binge watch certain shows as soon as they're released november 15th the crown yeah season four one of them was the crown and i remember how i got introduced to it you had already watched season one this is like three or four years ago and we both got extremely sick when we were visiting wales do you remember in cardiff yes like it was like like we were we were not just it wasn't just like a little bit of the flu like we had sore throats we had like fevers we had headaches like we could barely get out of bed i believe we booked an airbnb for maybe a week and we just stayed indoors and watched netflix non-stop we maybe filmed two days two and a half days but but the amazing thing about this place was they had a home theater yes like they had a projection they had a projection screen they also had a like an amazing sound system and we were just like i don't know if out of a score of 100 i'd say our energy levels like 15 to 20. and so i i ended up watching all of uh season one with you yeah and then we started watching something uh related to it was world war ii but it was like um in color no no no no it was the like um it was a show about ladies um okay yeah is that cold again i don't know i i forget the name of that show but the point is we really got hooked on the crown and since then every year when they release the new season we just dedicate a day sometimes we need two days to watch every single episode and it's all we can think about that's right so i remember season two we ended up watching here while we were at home in between trips in toronto canada yeah season three was last year on our second trip to argentina we were in yes we were in baraloche in a beautiful log cabin we still haven't uh released that series yet those are coming so those are coming yeah that's uh so a bit of a sneak preview and then um we just we're binge watching season four now yeah so i mean my goodness it just it almost makes me feel a little bit old we're already about season four that means we've been watching four years the next season isn't coming out next year they're gonna make us gonna be 20. 2022 in case you're wondering oh my gosh but anyways yeah we we load it up we binge there's 10 episodes this season um probably approximately 45 minutes to an hour per episode so we've got about eight to ten hours of uh fun ahead of us cheers to that so guys let us know if there is a show out there on netflix or amazon prime that you love to binge yes we might need some inspiration we don't want to know what shows you just watch we want to know which ones you've been and if you don't binge please don't judge us too harshly because we do we do we do [ __ ] so audrey how do you feel being back in niagara falls good it's nice to be visiting again i think the last time i was here was maybe 10 years ago wow do you remember who you came with i think with my sister and some friends oh cool summertime in the summer so you've never been here when it's been the cold huh yeah bundled up all bundled up yeah you're dressed the warmest yes your dad has no hat you've got like a winter hat on and you've got your gloves it's like five degrees okay so then of course you've got the vineyards nearby you've got niagara on the lake and so yeah we're gonna just basically walk around a little bit more and then what we're hoping to do in the afternoon is visit a vineyard that's the plan do a little bit of a tasting so yeah we were saying this is one of the top 10 wines we've had not just this year but ever i think it's the best canadian wine i've ever had yeah yeah yeah actually absolutely good quality wine yeah on the drive-in didn't it say this has been voted the number one small vineyard yeah i don't doubt it i don't doubt it it's that good have a look it's that good yeah hello hello hello hanging out at my new office thank you audrey we came over to your new office office we came over to your new office and i thought it might be fun for you to tell people what you've been working on what you've been editing so for the last like almost two months and i had already been working on this for months prior to this basically uh at the end of last year we went back to argentina for a second round not just argentina uruguay too and chilly chilly that's right so we started off um with your dad we arrived in buenos aires and then we went back to the cordoba area and then we started heading north for the first time so we went to the province of tukuman and then we headed up further north to salta which is an amazing area and then we went further north it's even more rugged to huhui and that was the end of our northern exploration then we came back to buenos aires for a night and we spent uh slightly over a week in uruguay we went to colonia and we also went to montevideo and we did a lot of foodie things yeah which was tons of fun and then we said goodbye to your dad and we headed back to northern patagonia where we spent a little bit of time in baraloche kind of catching up on work binging on the crown season three we did a bit of filming as well and then we went and visited one of our best friends in argentina valentin and elbozone yeah that was a really fun day so much fun hardly any filming but going out every single night and coming in at like one or two in the morning yeah that was so much fun and then we went all because the last time we went to patagonia we didn't make it to the far south which is some say the most interesting part and we did get to go to the far south this time how far south samuel well to the end of the world to ushuaia the world's most southern no the world's southernmost city i believe is how it's described and i mean that's the gateway for boating expeditions to antarctica so yeah we're talking really far south and we didn't make it to antarctica but in order to cross to tierra del fuego which is the southernmost province in argentina you have to go through chile because the province is an island basically we also some other highlights in in the far south is we went to el chalten and el calafate in el calafate you see the the most impressive glaciers oh just unbelievable and then we did the world-class hiking in el chalten which if you're familiar with the brand patagonia it's the the basically the logo the mountain we hiked the logo we hiked the logo there you go yeah and then we crossed over to the chilean side and we did another spectacular hiking destination yeah guys we're so excited we're going to be releasing this series really soon for you um and it's going to be the most breathtaking and scenic series we filmed anywhere in the world i can honestly say that i mean we've been to some beautiful places in canada and other parts of the world but just to have so many different episodes where it's different to rain where it's a different different scenery we've never done anything quite like this so we're really excited for this series to come out and um yeah i'm i've basically done the the first cut of all the episodes so i'll be handing that over to audrey and she'll be putting the final touches on it yeah that's coming soon yeah and we're hoping um we're hoping to get it out more frequently than our first year series in argentina we're going to be releasing i don't know hopefully several episodes per week right yes that's the goal is that is that the goal boss yes so anyways yeah that's what i've been working on um here at my office and we're really excited to be getting that out soon so i hope you guys are ready for another round of argentina coming up soon okay so this evening we're going to be trimming sam's beard riveting stuff this is what youtube has come to but yeah when sam found out we're going to toronto canada instead of into the woods into the wilderness on a tiny house escape he realized maybe he wants to prim and cough prim primp and quaff what's the expression there primp and quaff primico so we're gonna give his beard a little trim because it has started to puff out so maybe we can have a little chat with him here on his barber's chair slash computer chair um so yeah you're gonna find out in the next video that his surprise trip isn't so much of a surprise because sam is just not good at handling surprises and being patient and he just has to ask a million questions until you break down and you're like enough this is what we're doing now stop asking me so all that being said i invite you to come on over to the chair and bring the trimmer oh yeah where's the trimmer here are the goodies okay and by the way i normally do shave my own beard this is just something fun for camera the audio it's fun well i ended up getting this this this this hair and beard kit because it's kind of like cleaning yeah so i don't have to go for the complete shave yeah hopefully there's enough power oh you haven't charged it uh we'll see did i use this no i used your dads did you use my dad's this is a new one no i have longer and shorter longer okay you have nine let's try six six is short no three is short here we go are you ready i'm ready i don't think i've used this one oh oh okay hey before you like take half my face off you see how that works yeah it just moves it up and down okay you you pick the setting it has little numbers so it's just basically it rolls like that oh my gosh that sounds scary but you know why it's because it wasn't fully on let's see see okay okay i forgot do i go down do i go off oh hey like this okay okay okay try not to take my face off okay that'd be nice anything you want to tell us about as i play barber here um well yeah it's been a long time since we've gone to toronto so toronto as you say um it's literally been ages i think the year we ended up going the most was when we went and did the christmas market you remember that year yeah what year was that were we in university it was either that year or the year before and we ended up going to the christmas market and then also the year we ended up getting married we went in to meet family and then we also filmed the city guide i think that year so that may have all been within like 10 months we may have gone into the city like four or five times in the last four in the last three or four years i i haven't been into toronto at all except you know to the airport that's not actually the city probably closer to brampton yeah than actual downtown toronto canada why'd you enjoy this so much oh i was saying earlier it's kind of like cleaning you know like how you see something become tidy when it was like all messy and disorganized are you are you insulting my former beard well it's just it was getting very big my wolverine beard yeah what do you guys think do you prefer the cleaned up beard or did you like the wolverine one huh i'm not sure everyone agrees with you audrey some people might have well i i like the beard i do but you've had it for a while and it was getting really messed up to be honest it's kind of nice to shave it off every once in a while although i think when we go back and do a cabin stay i'm gonna make it nice and long done how's that that looks i haven't actually seen myself yet but it feels good let's go have a look oh wow it's definitely shorter so today is thursday and this is a little behind the scenes of the vlog in canada that we are shooting here in toronto we got here yesterday wednesday but it's been nice you know to get away from the regular routine and just do something a little different be out here exploring the city hey sam hi her hey this is the perfect day in toronto video we're working and we're having a fantastic day we're exploring an island we've never been to we had the most amazing views of downtown toronto and yet we feel like we're out in the middle of nowhere yeah and the weather is cooperating today it's so much warmer so much warmer yeah we've had some good food since we've been in toronto and fun to continue that so would you say this is a weekly bi-weekly monthly shop how often are we going to lcbo well basically what's going on these days is uh your dad and i are on a little bit of a diet and one of our tiny indulgences is that we're giving ourselves a little bit of table wine so when this gato negro runs out that's usually when i go to the lcbo i usually get three or four of these and they usually last for the month we just have like a tiny little glass at night so we had one dry uh-huh uh yeah we had to restock i just got back and i should explain for people who don't know what table wine or vino de mesa what we call in argentina it's basically kind of like a cheaper wine that you'd have with your everyday meal like it's nothing super fancy exactly so this wine is a little bit pricey in canada compared to europe and south america so this bottle here 1.5 liters which is the equivalent of two normal bottles of wine is 14.95 and normally for one bottle of i don't know like mid-range wine in canada you would pay that amount so this is like half that price yeah it's just one of those twist tops we usually get in the low sometimes cabernet sauvignon but this uh yeah that's what i ended up getting so this is the table wine but the exciting stuff is in the green bags here hey guys i'm exhausted that's a very long walk probably walk like 30 or 40 minutes each way and carrying all this back now it's really hard to find wine from uruguay and in fact in ontario they're out but look i got the the arizona this is the one we had last summer yeah but this one's a reserve this is a 10 reservoir oh yeah that's awesome that's the brand we found in new brunswick when we did a road trip last summer we picked that one up in um edmondson yeah yeah it's the most random place to find a bottle of wine from uruguay now this one i think he'll like audrey look how cute that is little bowtie what's this this one's from chile okay i ended up getting it well there's a couple reasons i mean i have to admit that was pretty cute but the price was good 11 bucks i think it's 11.99 and it's a pinot noir it's a kind of a grape variety that we don't normally drink from chile we usually have cabernet sauvignon merlot or is it carbonary yeah we usually have that and i found two wines from portugal because we're thinking of doing a portuguese food videos oh a bacalao video yeah so we have domino from duaro todo along the donor river river and then we also have um and that is a that one's not a reserve and then we have babu babu which is a reserve where's that one from it's also from portugal oh cool oh it's a 2016 nice a bit of a vintage so yeah two table ones and actually you have a bit of the table wine sometimes too i do yeah dinner time we drink some red our tiny indulgence is that we take a little micro square of dark chocolate and we get a half of a cup of red wine well thanks for bringing the wine for us yeah and we are restocking our collection yeah our collection is looking pretty mighty fine and uh let's keep it that way okay so we've been doing a bit of a fun family project this year it's mainly my dad and i who are doing this but basically we've started a collection of wine labels because we really enjoy our wine i feel like sam and i have finally developed a taste for wine it took us a while but you know we're there after a few trips to south africa and then argentina chile we've had some really good wines so yeah this is kind of like the new little hobby that we've got going on so whenever we finish a bottle of wine we set it aside and then when we have a group of like 10 to 15 we put them in the oven and we remove the labels and i'm just gonna show you a few of the bottles that we've consumed over the past year maybe it's been two years now because this album is looking pretty full um but yeah that's something we've been doing behind the scenes for fun so here are some that we had this past winter this was a really nice wine from australia 19 crimes and this one was recommended by my uncle who's also a big wine lover he lives in peru and he really likes this argentine wine amigo or the enemy these two spanish ones are from um a video that we filmed a while back where we made paeda a spanish dish and yeah that was our week in the life vlog from canada we had some fun mini getaways to nearby destinations but we also spent plenty of time hanging out at home in our pajamas because balance let us know if you guys enjoyed this format and if you'd like to see more vloggy videos of life lately thanks for watching and wishing you a great week
