About Me

Irene Seto

Hi guys! My name is Irene Seto and I am the writer behind Mint & Heritage. I’m a born-and-raised Calgarian so that makes me a bit of a unicorn right?! I’m also left-handed, a Taurus sign and an Ox on the Chinese Zodiac so I feel like my bull-headedness is beyond EXTRA, and a lover of all the cute bunnies that populate Calgary city parks. #LetsLeadLadies

Cool nights, warm lights ✨ at @thecalgaryzoo Zooli Cool nights, warm lights ✨ at @thecalgaryzoo Zoolights! The annual tradition is back with more lights 🎄than ever. I was really pleasantly surprised by how lit up 🔥 the entire park is - so much sparkle and shine! I must recommend the ENMAX Conservatory for the Sugar Plum Station. It’s not lights, but a magnificent tree  display with full working train sets below! It sooo wonderful, I could have watched them for a long time and it’s the perfect spot to warm up.

This might be my favourite type of canned 🐟fish! @ This might be my favourite type of canned 🐟fish! @goldsealcanada’s wild mackerel has a rich, buttery flavour and comes in three delicious varieties: olive oil 🫒, Mediterranean, and lemon 🍋& peppercorn. There’s no skin or bones so you can eat right out of the can like I did with this tinned fish board. And it helps me easily up my protein game with up to 16 grams per can. Because this mackerel is so versatile, you can mix up your board with many kinds of fruits, veggies, and cheeses to satisfy your taste buds.

Calgary Co-op has all the tastes of home 🇨🇦this ho Calgary Co-op has all the tastes of home 🇨🇦this holiday season! I was pleasantly surprised to find so many yummy 🤤 foodie finds for my holiday gift giving at the grocery store of all places. It made it so 
easy to have so many choices all in one shop – I’ll be able to put together some great foodie gift baskets and fill quite a few stockings with all the treats I found. 

The best part is that all the items I showed are made in Canada and sometimes even closer to home from Calgary too. @calgarycoop is where local tastes meet Christmas!

Here are a few of my favourite finds:
• Annex Ale sodas 🥤
• Cloud 9 gluten-free pancake and waffle 
• A Spice Affair fiesta spice kit
• Twigz pretzels in all flavours 🥨
• Founders & Farmers fruitcake
• Parkway Cold Brew
• Tqla Mockarita non-alcholic beverages
• Centini vodka pasta sauce 🍝
• Master Chocolat gourmet chocolate bars 🍫
• Big Chief beef jerky
• Calgary Heritage Roasting Company coffee ☕️ beans
