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

POLAR BEARS IN YYC 🐻‍❄️The former Canadia POLAR BEARS IN YYC 🐻‍❄️The former Canadian Wilds at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo has been fully revamped and is now the beautiful new ‘Wild Canada’ 🇨🇦 The big attraction is the addition of two male polar bears, Siku and Baffin. It has been years once the zoo has had polar bears and I’m all for it. Their home is a two-acre habitat with varied topography and water features that the bears can engage with. These bears were orphaned in the wild very young and are part of a historic agreement with the Province of Manitoba that sees polar bears leaving the province for the first time. You will be awed and amazed at everything Wild Canada has to offer so don’t forget to visit the other animals in addition to the polar bears #polarbear #polarbears #wildcanada #calgaryzoo #zoolife #zooanimals #polarbearswim #polarbearsofinstagram #yycnow #yyctoday #calgaryevents #thingstodoincalgary #yycactivities #animalconservation #zooconservation #yyczoo Thank you for having me @thecalgaryzoo
I hate that the sun goes down so early, but I can’t be mad at these beautiful scenes we get at the end of each day 😍✌🏼Only another month to go and then the days will start getting longer again! #yycsunset #yycwinter #sunsetlove #sunsetloversgram #sunsetlover🌅 #sunsetskies #yycskyline #calgaryskyline #calgaryskies #albertaskies #downtowncalgary #sunsetcolours #sunsetmagic
FESTIVE🎄AFICIONADO is how I would describe myse FESTIVE🎄AFICIONADO is how I would describe myself, but you can just call me Christmas obsessed 😝. I know lots of people wait until December 1 to start decorating but I like to start super early! I pay so much for my Xmas decorations that I hate to have them sitting in storage for so much of the year. I like to get a solid 10 weeks of holiday magic going every season. It’s worth it for all the Christmas vibes ✌🏼 #yycwinter #yycholidays #christmasmagic✨ #holidaydecorating #holidaydecorations #christmasdecorideas #christmasobsessed #christmaslover #christmaslook #trimthetree #yycnow #yyctoday #christmasmantle

FLYING FIRST CLASS UP IN THE SKY ✈️ Ok, we do FLYING FIRST CLASS UP IN THE SKY ✈️ Ok, we don’t do this very often so it was definitely a splurge 🤑This was only the second time we upgraded up to premium seats and it was oh. so. nice 😊 Having only two comfortable seats side-by-side and avoiding the dreaded middle seat is such a win when flying. Plus the free drinks don’t hurt either 🥂. If you ever get the chance to upgrade to a premium or first class seat, do it! I find it’s really helpful when: 🔹You’re doing a flight longer than 4 hours - more legroom to be comfortable in. 🔹Free meal, snacks and booze! Nice to not have to remember to buy your own food to bring on the plane. 🔹Priority check-in and security - if you’re at a very big and busy airport, getting priority status can really cut down on your wait times as the lines will be much shorter for you. #flyingfirstclass #premiumeconomy #travellife✈️ #firstclassflight #middleseat #yycblogger #mimosatime #luxurytravels #airplanephotos #airplanetravel #traveltipsandtricks #traveltip #travelhacks #travelhappy #its5oclocksomewhere

10/10 concert experience 😂. My achy feet and jo 10/10 concert experience 😂. My achy feet and joints loves to chair dance at a show! Front row balcony is my jam and let’s me enjoy the show my way - sitting comfortably in my seat. I might only make a exception for Taylor Swift but y’all know I’m not going to that concert 😝😅. #concertetiquette #standingovation #standingroomonly #concertlife #concertpics #chairdance #chairdancing #millenialmemes #youknowyoureoldwhen #gettingoldsucks #gettingolder #yycblogger
A ROBOTIC 🤖 ROLLERCOASTER?!? Telus Spark has up A ROBOTIC 🤖 ROLLERCOASTER?!? Telus Spark has upped the science and engineering game with this thrilling new robotic arm ride. Ro5ie the robo-coaster is for anyone who loves a good rollercoaster ride. Luckily, I met the height requirements (1.2 or 1.4 meters depending on level you choose 😝) and opted for the middle of road level 3 of 5 for my experience (it only goes upside down once, thank goodness). The cool thing is this is a new permanent installation at Spark so you can ride it all year long. There is an additional fee on top of your general admission entrance for Ro5ie. Would you go on this ride? ^hosted #robotarm #roboticarm #rollercoasters #rollercoaster🎢 #roboticsforkids #sciencecenter #telusspark #yycthingstodo #thingstodoinyyc #thingstodoincalgary #yycevents #yycnow #yyctoday #explorecalgary #sciencelover
