Quantcast

Last weekend, The Real Housewives of Atlanta shut down Caribana and proved that Canada is the impromptu girls trip you didn't know you needed.

Known for being one of Canada's largest street parades, our favorite Georgia peaches made it clear that they did not come to play. Celebrating the 52nd anniversary of Caribana, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Porsha Williams, and Kenya Moore were glammed and jeweled from head-to-toe in their carnival costumes and from the looks of their social media, Toronto did not disappoint.

Although you can only partake in this Caribbean music festival once a year, there are tons of other squad-friendly experiences that you and your besties can experience together for the first time.

The only thing better than a weekend in the 6 is spending it with your squad, and xoNecole is here to give you the ultimate girl's guide to Toronto for a trip that you and your tribe will never forget. If you and your girls are considering catching a flight to Canada, here are 6 spots you should check out while you're there:

Museum of Illusions

If you've been lucky enough to check out the Museum of Illusions in New York, you'll love the Instagram-worthy content you'll be able to capture at the Museum of Illusions in Toronto. Coined as a "fitness center for the brain," this attraction is sure to be a win for all age groups and offers a sensory experience that will give your girls trip a one-of-a-kind, not to mention it costs less than $25 bucks.

Body Blitz Spa

You and your tribe deserve to be pampered like the queens that you are, so level up your self-care game and head over to one of the most highly recommended spas in Toronto. Known for their therapeutic Dead Sea salt pool and eucalyptus steam room, this facility offers packages, starting at $195 for three hours and also offers a 10% off discount for groups.

The Distillery District

You can leave your rental car at the hotel for this pedestrian-only attraction. Don't let the Distillery Districts old towne vibe fool you. The dope mix of vintage and contemporary makes for a great day of art, food, and getting lit at some of the local bars. If you make it down to the district during the winter months, you'll also get a glimpse of the annual Christmas Market and Toronto Light Festival.

CF Toronto Eaton Center

No matter how different you and your friends may be from one another, there's no doubt that the CF Toronto Eaton Centre will have options that your whole tribe will love. With over 250 stores in one mall, this attraction is any shopper's dream, and if you're balling on a budget, it can also be a good place to grab a bite to eat and people watch.

Ripley's Aquarium

If you and your girls are looking for a walk on the wild side, Ripley's Aquarium offers an array of over 20,000 aquatic animals and the longest underwater viewing tunnel in North America. If you're feeling bad and bougie, the aquarium also offers a service where you can hire your own professional photographer to get some high-quality shots of you and your girls during your experience.

CN Tower

The tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere now offers an adrenaline-inducing experience that you and your girls need to add to your bucket list ASAP. Standing at more than 500 miles high, you can get your whole life at the CN Tower, which offers a variety of experiences including but not limited to eating at a revolving restaurant in the sky and standing hands-free off the edge of a building that overlooks the city (if you're brave). Even if you decide to play it safe, even your least adventurous homegirl will get a kick out of this attraction.

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
