A little bit of Italy in the heart of London

When it comes to creative gift ideas, chances are we could all use a little bit of help. With new staff members being added to the #DoTheDaniel family on a regular basis, I am constantly learning about beautiful experiences and destinations around the world from their perspective. It is no surprise that I would want to talk about London since it is in fact one of my favourite cities. London has a bustling hub of businesses that are loved by people from all over (of course, including me), so hopefully, they use Accounting services for london based businesses to keep them afloat as we want them here for a good long while. There is something tangible about the energy, the people, the sights, and of course the food. One such experience that I can’t wait to send and share with my staff is via Bellavita Shop – a little bit of Italy in the heart of London.

Where have the polar bears gone

Being that I call Toronto home, I found myself talking about how mild this winter has been and how great that has been. But the fact remains that this isn’t necessarily a good thing in the large scheme of things either. The world is changing, and therein, getting warmer. And as lovely as it may be for those of us Canadians who have bore the brunt of -45 degrees celsius, habitats around the world and the animals that call them home are having to adapt or disappear altogether. Recently we partnered with Polar Ice Vodka on their #SaveOurSeaIce campaign in support of Polar Bears International to shed some light on this alarming fact. And yes, there IS something we can do about it.  Continue reading “Where have the polar bears gone”

What’s The Deal With Protein?

Okay, so I’m not going to give you the whole “you need a whole buttload of protein†speech. Because it’s just not true. Yes, you need protein – but not as much as you think. How much protein you require is based on your individual requirements – more so the type of activity you are partaking in, the activity level and your goals.

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!
