Tea Parties with Tetley
It’s allllll about the tea! One of our favourite things to do in the summer is to gather our best girls (and boys) for high tea and giggles. Combine finger sandwiches, scones and a sweet selection of premium Tetley teas for a fun and memorable afternoon.
Tetley’s NEW Signature Collection includes four high quality tea blends packed in a unique drawstring bag that lets you squeeze out every last drop of flavour, for a delicious cup every time!
Winner will receive a Tetley Signature Collection Prize Pack which includes High Tea (black tea with vanilla), Keep Calm and Sip On (camomille, spearmint & orange tea), Citrus Kiss (green tea with lemon & grapefruit), Mint To Be (peppermint, spearmint & apple mint tea) as well as some Pinterest-worthy mugs, candles and bath soaps. Oh-la-la!
Square One Shopping Centre Is Expanding!
If you haven’t visited Square One recently, you need to drop everything and GO GO GO! Rent a car, take a bus or walk if you must – in this case it’s not the journey, but the destination. One of our favourite malls with the BEST selection, there’s something here for every type of shopper!
Enjoy your favourite stores like H&M, treat your man to something spiffy at Harry Rosen and grab an Orange Julius while you’re are it because THEY ARE DELICIOUS. Then, once your shopping is out of the way, get your groceries did at Whole Foods (exterior entrance). And, Square One is getting even bigger and better with Pinkberry, Maison Simon and Holt Renfrew setting up shop in the very near future!
Fun fact: during summer weekends, entrance 7 become a hub for musicians and entertainers. You can follow the action at #EXSQUARIENCE7.
Winner will receive a $100 Square One gift card, woot!

Summertime Snacking with Neal Brothers
It’s no secret that, at Shedoesthecity, our lives pretty much revolve around snacking; chips, cheese puffs, popcorn and pretzels are king. We live from snack to snack, the rest is blank space during which we think about snacks, go out to buy snacks, or look up snack-related novelty clothing online.
Neal Brothers is our go-to brand for pretty much all snack foods. Known for natural and organic snacks since 1988, there’s no other brand we trust to satisfy our cravings with the wide range of crunchy, salty treats we love with zero guilt!
Winner will receive a box of our favourite goodies from Neal Brothers, perfect for summer snacking!
Summer Lovin’ with Revlon
There’s nothing quite as romantic as a summer love. Long walks on the beach, cuddles in the park and sneaking kisses during patio lunches. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?
To help you look your best when you’re with your summer love, Revlon’s bold, pigmented colours and formulations offer hours of long-lasting wear in a plethora of beautiful shades we love!
Our winner will receive a Revlon Love Is On Summer Prize Pack which includes a Revlon Highlighting Kit and as well as a selection of products from their longwear collection: ColorStay 16-Hour Eye Shadows, ColorStay Eyeliner, ColorStay Lipliner, ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipstick, ColorStay Moisture Stain and 2 NEW shades of the ColorStay Gel Envy Nail Enamel + Diamond Top Coat (we’re obsessed with these!!!).

These PUMA Ignite XT runners are the perfect performance shoe to get you started, girl! Using IGNITE foam (which is basically like the most comfortable bed you’ve ever slept in…but for your feet), they offer comfort, agility and support, all while looking summery and fresh!
