Random Acts of Pastel

As a recent journalism grad, Alyssa decided to go against the grain of working at an already established magazine& instead created her own online magazine: Random Acts of Pastel. Fast forward 3 years later & RAOP has a massive following accompanied by partnerships with some of the biggest brands (think: Nike, Wildfox Couture, Virgin Mobile) out there. A site filled with recipes, fashion, travel, & more all in pastels of course, we knew we had to snag a recipe from Alyssa while in Toronto, her home base.

Alyssa, who works alongside Johanna, her best friend, roommate, & now business partner, has decked out her apartment exactly how you’d imagine: collages, teacups lining the walls, a stocked bar cart, pretty much pastel everything, & not to mention puppies & kittens galore. Aka the RAOP headquarters is our paradise. Outside of her apartment, Alyssa & Johanna enjoy Her Majesty’s Pleasure for cocktails & manicures (ummm both in one place? we’re in!), Kitten & the Bear for tea time & “the best jam you’ve ever tasted”, Miss Thing’s for dinner & drinks, CONVEY for all their wardrobe needs, & of course what list is complete with a sweet spot: Seven Lives Paleteria for ice cream!

You can imagine our delight when Alyssa mentioned she would be making a Pink Iced Tea Latte for us. We were even more excited when we realized how easy & delicious the recipe truly was! While Johanna & Alyssa joke that they only ever eat finger food for dinner since they’re constantly at events for work at night, when they do get a chance to hang in the kitchen they love making Mexican Fiesta Bowls. As for dessert, their go-to’s are a Loaded Milkshake & Kitten and the Bear seasonal jams drizzled on pretty much anything & everything.
