Walking in a Winterlude Wonderland with CIBC

A lot of people don’t realize that although I have made Toronto my home with Julio, and HQ for all things #DoTheDaniel, I have in fact lived in several major Canadian cities in my lifetime. We moved a lot when I was younger because we followed the opportunities that my parents had in their careers. Though it wasn’t always easy, I like to think that it also gave me my sense of adventure while seeing what it meant to grow up Canadian in both Ontario & Québec. While I lived in Ottawa with my parents, I used to look forward to Winterlude every year. From skating on the Rideau Canal, ice sculpture carvings that awe & amaze, to the ample amounts of Beavertails that I used to justify as winter sustenance… it was an exciting time in Ottawa for residents and visitors alike. On Saturday, February 18 (From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.) you’re going to want to head to the Rideau Canal Skateway for CIBC’s Shinny Hockey Day!

How you can make a difference this #HeartMonth

DYK that February is #HeartMonth? This year makes the month extra special for me because I lost my Dad to a heart attack.

When I heard that this incredible foundation collaborated with iconic Canadian brand Roots Canada to help spread an important message, I knew that it was important to share it with you all.

A walk down memory lane

I find myself getting nostalgic a lot lately. Taking a walk down memory lane, I find myself remembering certain parts of my childhood fondly and thinking about how I might be able to create similar memories and experiences for our future children. As Julio & I are slowly starting to look into the process of starting a family, it only makes sense that I turn to my own experiences for inspiration. From family vacations, to family meals, there is so much to be learn from the lessons my parents instilled in my brother and I.  Continue reading “A walk down memory lane”

The easiest way to win 2018 NBA All-Star game tickets

I am happy to share that I’ve started 2017 with a renewed sense of balance. Yes, I am working towards a healthier me inside and out. But I am not restricting myself from indulging in the finer things in life either. You’ll remember that last year we shared our #KFCisForChicken experience from farm-to-table (literally!) and since that point, I feel better knowing that KFC Canada chicken served in their local restaurants is real, Canadian, farm-raised chicken. With a new year comes new and exciting things from KFC. This month we are joining you all in hopes that using the new KFC All-Stars app we might just win a chance to go to the 2018 NBA All-Star game!
