Health & Nutrition | Grandview Farms | Life is a Meat-venture!

Review by Catherine’s Cabinet

As some of you may already know, I’m a musician and I have regular gigs around the GTA.  If you didn’t know this little tidbit, then I’ll let you pause for a moment to bask in the new levels of awesome I’ve just reached in your lives (relax, I’m being sarcastic).  In life, you just gotta do what you love and make it work within your schedule in order to stay true to who you really are.  Well, I LOVE music.  I live and breathe it on the regular.  But I also equally LOVE nutrition.  So when Daniel and I were asked to pay a visit to Grandview Farms on the day I had a gig booked out of town, I knew I had to do everything in my power to get there and make it happen.

Health & Nutrition | Renew Life | Are you PRO-biotics?

Review by Catherine’s Cabinet

The first time I heard that billions, even trillions of bacteria live inside of my belly, I was utterly mortified. Ew, excuse me, um what?! I was that girl who used to pump my hands full of antibacterial products if I even got a speck of dirt on my hands and then would totally freak out if I saw a bug… so how was I supposed to handle the fact that there are tons of “icky” things living inside me? Well, I finally put my big girl pants on, went to school for Nutrition and then found out that it’s not actually that simple.

Events | Garden Days in celebration of Canada’s National Garden Day

After my recent volunteering with TELUS for Telus Giving Day (see my #givewherewelive post here) where I had the opportunity to get my hands dirty in the garden, my green thumb has been itching for more. So much so, that I’ve planted hanging tomato plants on our condo patio and have been sprouting my own herbs. While we don’t have grass, I have had a look at Composite Timber Decking or something similar to make the outside space more inviting. I’ve even been looking at adding some garden furniture, like these quality adirondack chairs, so I can spend more time outside. For those of you like me, the tranquility of gardening is one that is hard to explain. It not only helps the environment but also adds something quite unique to your space. So that’s why I am excited to tell you all about Garden Days taking place June 13 – June 15th this year across Canada.

Health & Nutrition | Green & Black’s | Ew, I Don’t Like Chocolate… Said NO ONE EVER

Review by Catherine’s Cabinet

Since I started writing for DoTheDaniel, I’ve longed for the day when I can write about my favourite thing on earth.  No it’s not Kale, or Chia Seeds, or Quinoa or Ian Somerhalder (although those are all pretty up there on the list).  It’s CHOCOLATE.  Don’t worry, they won’t revoke my “Holistic Nutritionist Membership Card”, it can still be healthy when done right!
