Who’s EXCITED for the Edmonton Oilers game tonig Who’s EXCITED for the Edmonton Oilers game tonight?!?! 
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
Whether it’s a home or away game, downtown Edmonton is an absolute vibe during Edmonton Oilers playoff season. Here are a few ways we’ve enjoyed spending a night out in the @icedistrict : 
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
🧡On Road Games like tonight, you can check out the Road Game Watch Party inside Roger’s Place. Grab your tickets online in advance for $10 (in support of of @oil_foundation ). Plus, they have family-friendly activities in the concourse. 
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
💙The Ford Tailgate Party at Ice District Plaza is THE vibe with a huge live game stream, awesome music and alumni appearances. Space is limited, so make sure you arrive early! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
🧡Aaron and I had a blast checking out the @playalbertaca Fan Park. I love the mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. Beers are $6 – gotta love that – and there’s live entertainment and ticket giveaways. For the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, your free LOILTY Rewards membership is your ticket to get in some make sure to register in advance! Space is limited, so arrive early. 
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
💙Prefer to be indoors? Don’t have a ticket to the game? Located inside Ford Hall, the Molson Hockey House is open to the public, allowing ticket holders and non-ticket holders to take in the Rogers Place vibes, grab some food and drinks, enjoy live entertainment and watch on big screen TVs.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
🧡And, of course, catching a live game at @rogersplace is an experience unlike any other! A big thank you to @edmontonoilers for hosting us for the last playoff round – it was so much fun taking in the big win and all the energy from @hunteroilers @oilersobic + @oilersdrumandbrasscrew

Where are you watching tonight?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
Downtown Edmonton is such a ✨vibe✨ during @edmontonoilers playoffs and we had a great time taking in the energy Wednesday night, popping by the Ford Tailgate Party at @icedistrict Plaza before heading into the @rogersplace Road Game Watch Party.

While the tailgate party is free, the road game watch party tickets were $10 in support of @oil_foundation 🧡💙 It was a great way for the kids to experience the excitement of playoffs! Plus, they had some fun, family-friendly activities in the concourse, like face-painting, button making, @oilersdrumandbrasscrew performances and a hockey card photo booth. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
Now, we’re ready for Game 3. Let’s go, Oilers!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The spring sunshine has me in the mood to refresh our home. First up: our guest bathroom. Following a deep clean, I added some artwork for a pop of colour, new hand towels for some texture and #febrezebathroom for a clean scent that lasts up to 45 days. Small, discreet and no plug-in required, it’s fab for small spaces like this (and my fave to set out when company is coming over). Have you tried them before?

I had a chance to learn some of Cory’s top tips to extend the life of your  fresh-cut bouquets, which I’m sharing below! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
And you can use code HOLLY for 2-for-tickets to the show, happening at the @edmontonexpocentre 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
1 - Trim the Stems: cut the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in water to help with water absorption.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
2 - Use Clean Water : change the water every 1-2 days and ensure the vase is clean to prevent bacteria growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
3 - Remove Extra Leaves : strip leaves that sit below the waterline to reduce bacteria buildup.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
4 - Keep Away from Heat & Fruit : place flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, heat sources and ripening fruit, which releases ethylene gas that speeds up wilting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
5 - Add Flower Food : use the packet of flower food that comes with your bouquet or make your own with sugar, lemon juice and a drop of bleach to nourish and protect the blooms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 
And most importantly - enjoy! Nothing lasts forever - soak up the special moment in time when your flowers are vibrant and beautiful before they fade away ♥️
