Last month, two of my friends and I had the opportunity to experience the amazing Verity Club and all
of its fabulous offerings. Grab a cup of tea and scroll through to see our staycation at The Ivy,
relaxation at the SweetgrassSpa, and dinner at Toronto’s GEORGE restaurant unfold…


Enjoying some tea & magazines in the Verity member’s lounge…


Cozy, quaint and colourful: Verity



Member’s of the Verity Club can enjoy nooks to work, and boardrooms (below) for brainstorming, presentations etc.



Each corner of the Verity was uniquely designed by founder, Mary Aitken. So eclectic and pink!


After settling in at the member’s lounge, the girls and I headed down to the spa for some lunch and relaxation!



The cozy Mani/Pedi room at Sweetgrass Spa.


Today I’m also teaming up with #sweetgrassspa to give away a sweetgrass manicure.
Check back on my Instagram (@stephsterjovski) at 12pm EST for details on how to enter.

Looking to create your own sweet escape? Sweetgrass Spa is offering my readers 25%
off aesthetic services when you book by June 18 (excludes massage therapy).

CODE: SGS25 (Call to book here)




While at Sweetgrass Spa, I had an amazing hot stone massage, followed by a dip in the pool — so relaxing!


Sweetgrass offers a wide variety of services, click here for more info.



Around every corner, beautiful blooms by Elizabeth Munro – their in-house florist.
Elizabeth creates beautiful wedding bouquets and arrangements as well.



Another amazing aspect to the Verity is The Ivy, which offers accommodations to both members and the public.
Each room is designed uniquely, and has a different feel. I instantly fell in love with Room One

(for obvious reasons), just take a peek below…


Having a strong affinity for marble, this gorgeous bathroom was right up my alley. I also loved
that they carried Bvlgari amenities, which made the stay that much more luxurious!



It’s so hard to peel yourself off The Ivy’s swedish Hastens beds — it literally is the best sleep of your life!




Take a peek into Anna’s room (she stayed in Room Three) on her blog, click here.



After our relaxing spa treatments, we headed over to GEORGE Restaurant for a 4-Course dinner…



Our dinner was prepared by one of Canada’s premier chefs, Chef Lorenzo Loseto.

After dinner, it was time to wind down in the gorgeous, grand tub. The bath salts were such a great touch!

Travel Tip: I brought my own Diptyque Candles to make myself feel at home. Love this travel set.



The next morning, we had breakfast in bed, the perfect way to end a staycation!

A Verity membership is all about investing in yourself and your business. I loved getting a
tour from founder, Mary Aitken and getting to experience the property with my girlfriends.
Verity is a women’s only club with over 800 of Toronto’s most successful women, offering a
great opportunity to network and socialize. I love that a space that promotes and supports
women entrepreneurs exists in my very own city! Not only is it a club for business, but Verity
includes a women’s only gym and spa, in addition to The Ivy,

a cozy European inspired boutique hotel and GEORGE, one of Toronto’s top restaurants.

Huge thank you to everyone at Verity, The Ivy, Sweetgrassspa

and GEORGE for accommodating us so well during our stay.

Hope you enjoyed a peek into our stay-cation, stay tuned for more travels coming soon!
