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

ART TIME! “Come check it out” is the perfect n ART TIME! “Come check it out” is the perfect name for an art exhibit that ✨excites and reimagines 🌈 a lot of what we think about the natural and manufactured worlds. The show comes from Italian artist Paola Pivi and is her first solo show in Canada. You’ll see polar bears, shoe pairs and other whimsical sculptures. The show runs until March 2 at @contemporarycalgary so you still have plenty of time to check it out (see what I did there? 😆) And the gallery will have free admission on February 6th for First Thursdays too ✌🏼. —————— ✨Let me be your guide to all things unique to Calgary!

A professional house cleaning is my dream ✨🧽🧹🧼come true! @bananabreezecleaning came to my rescue with this deep clean 🧽 of two bathrooms, the primary bedroom, the kitchen and the living room. I could never get through so much in just a few hours like they did! Banana Breeze Cleaning is a local Calgary small business made up of newcomers to Canada. These Ukrainian ladies have so much hustle and truly do amazing cleaning so you don’t have to. Regular cleaning is $45/hour per cleaner and deep cleaning is $50/hour. Use code IRENE when booking to save 5% off regular cleaning or 10% off deep cleaning or move-in/move-out cleaning. —————— ✨Let me be your guide to all things unique to Calgary!

If you have a craving for seafood, @northseafishan If you have a craving for seafood, @northseafishandfarms 🐟inside @crossroadsmarketyyc offers tons of fresh and frozen options to take home. They also make a delicious Canadian lobster 🦞 roll to go too. It’s a bit pricy at $26 but it’s filled with 1/4 pound of lobster heated up in a spiced butter marinade. I was literally drooling while I watched them put it together. To add some local touches, the dish is made with ingredients from North Sea’s neighbors inside the market - spices from The Spice Merchant and a fresh baked toasted hot dog bun from Bread Box Bakery. Put all together with some kettle cooked chips, this lobster roll really hits the spot. #lobsterroll #lobsterrolls #yycfood #yycfoodie #yycfoodies #yyceats #yycshoplocal #yycsmallbusiness #yycsupportlocal #yycrestaurants #yycnow #yycfarmersmarket
VR 🎮is where it’s at! @cfchinookcentre is hos VR 🎮is where it’s at! @cfchinookcentre is hosting Horizon of Khufu all month long in the old Nordstrom space. Calgary is only the second Canadian city to host this experience so we’re among the lucky few who get to try it out. It might look like a bunch of people just walking around, but the VR is pretty cool - you get immersed right into ancient Egypt and get to take an adventure that feels pretty real. The 45 minute session goes by so fast as you make your way through the Pyramids of Giza. Definitely a fun activity to try out the next you’re at the mall. -media- #chinookcentre #virtualrealityworld #virtualrealityexperience #vrexperience #yycevents #calgaryevents #yycthingstodo #thingstodoincalgary #yycnow #yyctoday #calgarybuzz #yycshopping
